Measuring 10 to 11 inches, this standout lives in eastern South America—and looks like it just walked out of a jungle salon with volume to spare. That pale, tousled crest isn’t for camouflage—it’s for communication, mate attraction, and establishing dominance.

 

Sure, it might break up the bird’s outline in the foliage just a little, but let’s be honest: this is a look meant to be noticed. The contrast with its darker body makes it less “blend in” and more “make an entrance.”

 

With flair in its crest and debonair air,

It once dated a toucan, then ghosted a bear.

It pecks not for hunger but pure social clout,

It taps just to gossip, not sort termites out.

   

Macro Mondays- "One of These Things is NOT Like the Others"

HMM everyone!

Pinetree by lake the shape of some sort of caligraphy sign. Balancing on a slope, it has shown strenght adapting and growing to this beautiful shape.

I'm not sure if this is bioluminescent. It seemed to be quite bright in the very low light I was in. Sorry I don't have an ID.

Thank you for looking!

This beautiful steeple was built of fine bricks, slate roofing on top of Kalker Chapel. Four (golden) clocks are installed, one on each side of the steeple’s base.

 

The Kalker Chapel was rebuilt between 1948 and 1950 after it was destroyed in the Second World War . It has its origins in the early modern period around 1666/67. The chapel is located in the Kalk district at the junction of the Kalker Hauptstrasse and Kapellenstrasse, which branches off to the southeast in the direction of the Vingst district.

 

I have a colored version of this shot, which I will share later.

The power of sight that is created as natural to the soul is charity. The power of sight has two eyes, love and reason. Reason cannot see God except in what he is not; love rests not except in what he is. Reason has its secure paths, by which it proceeds. Love experiences failure, but failure advances it more than reason. Reason advances toward what God is, by means of what God is not. Love sets aside what God is not and rejoices that it fails in what God is. Reason has more satisfaction than love, but love has more sweetness of blessings than reason. These two, however, are of great mutual help one to the other; for reason instructs love and love enlightens reason. When reason abandons itself to love's wish, and love consents to be forced and held within the bounds of reason, they can accomplish a very great work. This no one can learn except by experience.

Eureka Southern train #2, the northbound between Willits and Eureka, CA just north of Willits on July 11, 1985. Unless you had your eyes closed, you could not miss this coming at you amonst all the deep greens of the surrounding trees.

It is hard to stand out when there are 384 tanager species in the world (only 5 in North America) but this bird commanded its share of attention as it hunted for bugs at Reserva Mashpi-Amagusa in the Ecuadorian cloud forest.
