L'avocette élégante vit dans une grande partie de l'Europe, son territoire se poursuit dans l'ouest et le centre de l'Asie jusqu'au sud-est de la Sibérie ainsi que jusqu'en Mandchourie, dans le nord-est de la Chine.
Elle consomme surtout des insectes aquatiques, des vers et des petits crustacés vivant en eau saumâtre. L'avocette recherche sa nourriture dans l'eau, à l'aide de son bec incurvé et très sensible. Sa méthode est originale : elle entrouvre le bec et écume l'eau en surface. Pour cela, elle manœuvre le bec dans dans un va-et-vient latéral tout en filtrant les aliments. L'avocette peut aussi basculer comme un canard pour chercher sa nourriture en eau plus profonde. Jusqu'à ce que son bec soit nettement retroussé, le jeune se contente de picorer.
L'espèce est menacée principalement par la destruction des habitats d'alimentation, de nidification et d'hivernage due à l'assèchement et à la transformation des lagunes saumâtres et des salines, les dérangements sur les lieux de nidification et le braconnage.
Les zones humides sont détériorées par l'usage des insecticides ; heureusement cette espèce est capable de s'adapter à des habitats ayant subi une baisse de qualité raisonnable. Comme 90% des migrateurs européens sont concentrés sur moins de 10 sites, une protection efficace de ces endroits est absolument essentielle.
Taille : 45 cm
Envergure : 77 à 80 cm.
Poids : 250 à 400 g
Longévité: 25 ans

The elegant avocet lives in a large part of Europe, its territory continues in the west and the center of Asia to the south-east of Siberia as well as to Manchuria, in the northeast from China.
It consumes mainly aquatic insects, worms and small crustaceans living in brackish water. The avocet searches for food in the water with its curved, very sensitive beak. His method is original: it opens the beak and scums the water surface. For this, it maneuvers the beak in a back and forth side while filtering food. The avocet may also tip over like a duck to forage in deeper water. Until his bill is clearly rolled up, the young is content to peck.
The species is threatened mainly by the destruction of feeding, nesting and overwintering habitats due to the drying up and transformation of brackish lagoons and salt marshes, disturbance of nesting sites and poaching.
Wetlands are deteriorated by the use of insecticides; Fortunately this species is able to adapt to habitats that have suffered a reasonable drop in quality. As 90% of European migrants are concentrated in less than 10 sites, effective protection of these places is absolutely essential.

The power of Manuka honey lies in its unique chemical composition. It contains high levels of methylglyoxal (MGO), an organic compound with powerful antibacterial properties. This active ingredient is absent (or barely present) in other types of honey.

One source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains range is about 1,000 km (620 mi) in length. Its highest point is 7,090 m (23,260 ft) located 100 km (62 mi) to the northwest of Lhasa. The range is parallel to the Himalayas in the Transhimalayas, and north of the Brahmaputra River. [3] Another source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains extend 460 miles (740 km) from Nyêmo County in the west to Ranwu County (the southwestern part of Baxoi County) in the east.
Its highest peak is Mount Nyenchen Tanglha (Nyainqêntanglha Feng) at 7,162 metres (23,497 ft).[4]
The southern side of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains is precipitous, and falls by around 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), while the northern side is fairly level and descends about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). Most of the mountains are below 6,500 metres (21,300 ft).[5] They contain 7080 glaciers covering an area of 10,700 square kilometres (4,100 sq mi).[4]
The Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains have an average latitude of 30°30'N and a longitude between 90°E and 97°E. Together with the Gangdise Shan located further west, it forms the Transhimalaya [a] which runs parallel to the Himalayas north of the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
The Drukla Chu river rises in the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, where it is called the Song Chu river, and joins the Gyamda Chu river. The combined rivers run about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast to the Yarlung Tsangpo river.
Within each heart resides
One inexhaustable source
Of love
That feels like
The continuous embrace of
Radient light.

It's been a while since I went for a dusk outing chasing colors. And believe it or not, I have not really captured this night's destination other than in a few snapshots during a few past visits. Yes, I visited Buffalo Botanical Gardens several times and we even had a membership for a while but I never took the time to capture this beautiful building without crowds in a way that would allow it to shine ... #etbtsy
Crescent Moon & Big Dipper over Buffalo Botanical Gardens
... and wow, is it a beautiful building! As I get a chance to visit botanical gardens in other cities I also get to appreciate the gardens we have here in Buffalo more and more. Quite an architectural beauty that also needed a lot of luck and dedication from many people to survive through its many challenges since it was built in 1900.

Devils Tower (also known as Bear Lodge Butte) is a butte, possibly laccolithic, composed of igneous rock in the Bear Lodge Ranger District of the Black Hills, near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises 1,267 feet (386 m) above the Belle Fourche River, standing 867 feet (265 m) from summit to base. The summit is 5,112 feet (1,559 m) above sea level.
Devils Tower was the first United States national monument, established on September 24, 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt. The monument's boundary encloses an area of 1,347 acres (545 ha).

The Tower is an astounding geologic feature that protrudes out of the prairie surrounding the Black Hills. It is considered sacred by Northern Plains Indians and indigenous people. Hundreds of parallel cracks make it one of the finest crack climbing areas in North America. Devils Tower entices us to learn more, explore more and define our place in the natural and cultural world.

Devils Tower National Monument, a unique and striking geologic wonder steeped in Native American legend, is a modern-day national park and climbers' challenge. Devils Tower sits across the state line in northeast Wyoming. The Tower is a solitary, stump-shaped granite formation that looms 1,267 feet above the tree-lined Belle Fourche River Valley, like a skyscraper in the country. Once hidden below the earth’s surface, erosion has stripped away the softer rock layers revealing the Tower.
The two-square-mile park surrounding the tower was proclaimed the nation’s first national monument by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. The park is covered with pine forests, woodlands, and grasslands. While visiting the park you are bound to see deer, prairie dogs, and other wildlife. The mountain’s markings are the basis for Native American legend. One legend has it that a giant bear clawed the grooves into the mountainside while chasing several young Indian maidens. Known by several northern plains tribes as Bears Lodge, it is a sacred site of worship for many American Indians. Devils Tower is also remembered as the movie location for “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”
The stone pillar is about 1,000 feet in diameter at the bottom and 275 feet at the top and that makes it the premier rock climbing challenge in the Black Hills. Hikers enjoy the Monument’s trails. The 1.25-mile Tower Trail encircles the base. This self-guided hike offers close-up views of the forest and wildlife, not to mention spectacular views of the Tower itself. The Red Beds Trail covers a much wider three-mile loop around the tower.

While America’s first national monument garnered significant attention as the backdrop to the 1977 Stephen Spielberg movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the tower is sacred to Northern Plains Indian tribes and the Black Hills region Kiowa Tribe. With oral storytelling and a history that dates back thousands of years, today, American Indian tribes continue to hold sacred ceremonies at the tower, including sweat lodges and sun dances. There is more to this monument than its rich history. You can stop at the visitor’s center to learn about one of the ranger-led programs, night sky viewing, hiking and even climbing to the top of Devils Tower. If one day isn’t enough to explore this unforgettable area, bring your camping gear to stay within the monument, or stay just outside or in accommodations at one of the nearby towns.

A solar star that lights the air
Behind the trees, wild and bare
A source of life, a golden globe
That travels fates endless road
Through the seasons, over the sky
Ruling its kingdom way up high
Above the trees, wild and bare
A solar star that lights the air

The ongoing drought in South Africa reminded us of how important water is to all living things. It truly is - and will forever be - the source of all life.
Fortunately Zimanga still has enough water for the animals due to a huge lake alongside the reserve. It even distributes water to villages and other game reserves. A big thumbs up for them!
The night was nearly over in the Umgodi overnight hide and the sun wasn't even up yet when this group of wildebeest came in for a drink. I really love the wide-angle effect, portraying them beautifully against the blue morning sky.

The Lištica River – the second coldest river in Europe – after the Neretva, these days is just shyly making its way through the sand without much noise, slowly flowing through Široki Brijeg to slip through the sand of Mostarsko Blato, and finally through a tunnel at the bottom of Blato to plunge into the Neretva. This is a photo from the source itself at the Vrelo Borak site, which consists of several springs and has a constant source temperature of 8 °C
