Magnolia tree / Tulpen-Magnolie in March

in our neighbours garden - Frankfurt-Nordend

If you already visited all my gallery certainly you have perceived that I love nature, birds, animals, flowers.

The Itatiaia National Park is one of my favorite places to visit and so near to my house.

I have been in this hotel in the heart of the park some times, especially because the birds come in search of food every day, and they are very close of the humans. This make the photos a bit easier.

Well, not the hummingbirds. I make satisfactory photos only if they are perched :)))

 

Saffron Toucanet (Araçari-banana)

Fortunately I got a photo of him perched on the tree lighted by the morning sun, because in the balcony there was not enough light.

 

... are still a bit shy ;-))

It had rained the whole day like from tubs. Actually, I planned, the Neist Point, the small peninsula

to take photos on the Scottish island Skye in the southwest in the sundown. But the weather meant it differently.

When I wanted to make a few test shots Late afternoon, it heard to rain for one moment on and the sky opened

for a short time before the coast. From approx. 100 admissions, were at the end only useful.....

Some enchanted evening.....It has been awhile since i've been sunset watching. Enjoy your week my friends!

Some lovely Robins today on my little walk

I just can't put my camera down. Another sunrise on the Allegheny river in Pittsburgh, PA.

Some unusual perches for familiar birds

For some, this time of year might be pleasantly warm, even hot. Yet for others, this is probably the coldest time of the year.

 

When is the Midpoint of Winter? Many people think the midpoint of winter is always Groundhog Day, but it varies. If you check the latest edition of the Farmers' Almanac, you'll see that it's Thursday, February 3, 2022—the exact halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox.

This bit of info was taken from the Farmer' Almanac!

 

I haven't had much time to visit SIMs these past months, one of them being Nelipot, always so beautiful. I'm so glad I had the chance to see it before the snow melted away ; )

some sad news I have been expecting arrived yesterday ...

my dear Aunt Mal passed after battling cancer for many years ..

 

she had a good life and lived her entire life in Wales .. . she loved horses and farms .

 

when she discovered she had cancer she immediately arranged to hike the Pennine Way .. . this National Trail chases along the mountain tops along the rugged backbone of England and offers 268 miles of the finest upland walking in England. A once in a lifetime experience.

 

her energy and laughter and encouragement will be with me forever .. some special light never dies .. I miss her already ..

Some woodtextures of a huge trunk laying down in a park with the late afternoon light.

 

There were rotten parts and also damaged parts by a fire. The trunk has been an object of nature for a few years now, but it was from a tree of more as 500 years old. Its width is about 1.80 meter or almost 6 feet. This was cut down before it really fell upon somebody.

Pampas deer (male) - is a species of deer that live in the grasslands of South America at low elevations. They are known as venado or gama in Spanish and as veado-campeiro in Portuguese. Their habitat includes water and hills, often with winter drought, and grass that is high enough to cover a standing deer. Many of them live on the Pantanal wetlands, where there are ongoing conservation efforts, and other areas of annual flooding cycles. Human activity has changed much of the original landscape. They are known to live up to 12 years in the wild, longer if captive, but are threatened due to over-hunting and habitat loss. Many people are concerned over this loss, because a healthy deer population means a healthy grassland, and a healthy grassland is home to many species, some also threatened. Many North American birds migrate south to these areas, and if the Pampas deer habitat is lost, they are afraid these bird species will also decline.]There are approximately 80,000 Pampas deer total, with the majority of them living in Brazil. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pampas_deer
