This is predator bird which is found in many Indian cities
Black kites are most often seen gliding and soaring on thermals as they search for food. The flight is buoyant and the bird glides with ease, changing directions easily. They will swoop down with their legs lowered to snatch small live prey, fish, household refuse and carrion,

I was driving out of Kananaskis country (lots of trees) when I noticed that cloud. As I left the forest, and entered the rolling hills, that cloud grew bigger and bigger. I snapped a few pictures and then embraced myself as I drove back home, hidden somewhere in that mess. Needless to say, this was amazing to witness and an honour to capture.
I've learned that it doesn't matter how big your house is, apparently, it is not big enough. ^_^
Thank you everyone for the appreciation, time and comments!!
Side note: Ignore the grass and it's a house on the ocean.

The schooner is the “Bay Lady II” out of Provincetown. It was built in 1984 by Washburn and Doughty of Woolwich, Maine.
Yes, this one is old, but the photo I took yesterday was a failure--and I didn't want to post another lame photo just for the sake of posting.
I'll try to do better.
Lately, all creativity seems to have gone out the door.
Now I try, but come up with nothing but empty thoughts. The product of over thinking.
I'm thinking of starting some sort of mini series to get going on this again. But really have no idea what I'd like to do.

I’m not sure which wild critters the food in this hanging wooden feeder was intended for. But there was no doubt who had dibs when I came upon the scene on Wednesday at a local historical site; Mr. Racoon was leisurely having his fill, while Mr. Squirrel was forced to wait his turn.

HMBT, folks!
They don’t look very intimidating at this stage and are not likely to strike fear into the hearts of anything that they encounter, but they can eventually grow to be as large as the couple of alligators in an earlier post. Their mortality rate is quite high, and the odds are not in their favor as numerous predators will gobble them up, including some of the larger fish that inhabit the bayou. Some of these might be siblings, but there are two different sizes in this photo, and they likely come from two different nests. These little ones are between 18 and 24 inches long. Good luck to these little lizards. Photo taken on Horsepen Bayou in Alligator Alley.

The Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen) is a medium-sized black and white passerine bird native to Australia and southern New Guinea. Although once considered to be three separate species, it is now considered to be one, with nine recognised subspecies. A member of the Artamidae, the Australian magpie is placed in its own genus and is most closely related to the black butcherbird (Melloria quoyi). Currawongs have yellow eyes, whereas Magpies have red-brown eyes and Butcherbirds have very dark brown, almost black eyes. It is not, however, closely related to the European magpie, which is a corvid. The adult Australian magpie is a fairly robust bird ranging from 37 to 43 cm in length, with distinctive black and white plumage, gold brown eyes and a solid wedge-shaped bluish-white and black bill. The male and female are similar in appearance, and can be distinguished by differences in back markings. The male has pure white feathers on the back of the head and the female has white blending to grey feathers on the back of the head. With its long legs, the Australian magpie walks rather than waddles or hops and spends much time on the ground. Described as one of Australia's most accomplished songbirds, the Australian magpie has an array of complex vocalisations. It is omnivorous, with the bulk of its varied diet made up of invertebrates. It is generally sedentary and territorial throughout its range. Common and widespread, it has adapted well to human habitation and is a familiar bird of parks, gardens and farmland in Australia and New Guinea. This species is commonly fed by households around the country, but in spring (and occasionally in autumn) a small minority of breeding magpies (almost always males) become aggressive and swoop and attack those who approach their nests.
Noisy miner is a bird in the honeyeater family, and endemic to Australia. It is grey, with a black head, orange-yellow beak and feet, a distinctive yellow patch behind the eye and white tips on the tail feathers. It's a vocal species with a large range of songs, calls, scoldings and alarms, and almost constant vocalisations. They are gregarious and territorial; they forage, bathe, roost, breed and defend territory communally. R_3181

I wanted to try something a bit different here, so this is a shot of the incredibly hot Wadi Rum desert in Jordan that has been slightly tweaked in post processing to "cool" the image a bit.
Let me know what you think.
When I ordered a mini set of salt and pepper shakers to "spice" things up a bit for STB and the guys I never imagined they would come in the smallest Zip Lock Baggie ever!
I tried to think of something universal for scale to show how small this teeny tiny baggie really is, and decided on this average size strawberry.
Those of you who are familiar with STB will have to act surprised once you finally see the salt and pepper shakers. 😊
This is what we call a Big Wheel (c.f. this little wheel !)
