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 :)))

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.
For some that phrase would describe their eyes after a late night of partying and ringing in the New Year. For me on this first morning of the 20s, it meant first-light reaching Towers of the Virgin in Zion National Park.
Being a native East-Coaster, who has transplanted to life on the West Coast, I still feel that the New Year occurs when the crystal ball drops in New York, and that's the end. So, with the aide of staid Springdale, Utah, it was easy to get an early bedtime on New Years Eve so we could begin the trek to the Canyon Overlook Trail at 6:00 AM to catch first-light and sunrise from this vantage.
The trail is a relatively flat mile hike with a few tricky spots where the ice and slickrock conspire to give even the most sure-footed concern in the dark. Once we reached the overlook, I was a little concerned that our cold trek may have been for naught, due to the heavy cloud cover. Though they were thick overhead, there still was some clearing to the East, along the sun on the horizon to light a narrow band, reflecting off the cloud bottoms and warming the sheer rocks faces of the Temple of the Virgin ahead. This image was captured about 10-15 minutes before the local sunrise time, and is considerably brighter than what we saw with our eyes, due to the 20-second exposure.
Once the actual sun rays reached the Temple directly, the light only lit the areas seen here in red for less than 5 minutes before disappearing above the clouds for the remainder of the day.

I don't really know what kind of bug this is. I thought it looked a little like a lighting bug.
Tomorrow Saturday, and I was going to the Oatmeal festival, but a friend called and wanted to come visit me and hang out in Wimberley. Tomorrow is market day here. Pretty much an over grown garage sale..:) But it's something to do and they have live music and food. Something to be said about that.
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.
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 ..

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
Have a nice Tuesday! Stay healthy!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!
