Spotted Pardalote straining to see something.

This view did some very wonky things to my eyes so I figured it would make for an interesting shot. At first glance, the eyes are challenged as they strain to figure out what is being viewed. But, upon further inspection one can tell it is a snow lined shore with colored trees reflecting in the river. The combination of cold and warm colors also contributed to an interesting look.

Green, White and Gold are the colours of the Irish flag and seeing as its "the Day", I thought Id put this pic up here.
This is the Bailey Lighthouse that stands guard over Dublin bay. It is the first sight of the "Emerald Isle" that you will see as you come in by ship or plane from the far flung corners of the World. You would be more than welcome you know.
Over 60 million people World wide claim Irish heritage, Bejaysus, as long as they all dont turn up at once!! The Guinness wouldnt stand the strain of it and this little place would sink with the weight!
Dublin bay is pretty spectacular and Ive a few snaps of it on here. Its very similar to the Bay of Naples but with rain! Aha, but when it doesnt rain!!!! And then even when it does sure isnt it a grand soft rain anyway!
So, if you are coming, your welcome and if your not, well maybe soon?
And as the old pub sign that I seen in I seen in Co. Kerry says; "There are no strangers here. Only friends who havent met as yet",
So I will wish you all, no matter where you are ;
"Céad Míle Fáilte roimh go-léir agus Beannacht Lá Fhéile Pádraig ar trasna an Domhain"
"A hundred thousand welcomes and blessings on St Patricks Day to all of you across the World"

Pumped up with testosterone, the Red Deer stag has only one thing on its mind. Forgoing food, it fights off contenders, locking with them in a clash of antlers.
In such a stage of mind its a powerful and unpredictable beast. To photograph it I had to get fairly close, but didn't hang about too long. Seeing it attention was drawn to me, I withdraw to a safer place.
When the autumn rut is over, exhausted and battle weary, they reverts back to their calmer ways, to await another season. And so it is, the next generation is secured. Such is the cycle of life and the need to propagate the species. Long may it continue.
Many thanks for your comments. Have a great week.
A Great Blue Heron strains to get some momentum into a strong wind at the Shiawassee NWR on this evening, June, 2022. The "Shiawassee Flats" are a delta where the Flint, Cass, and Shiawassee Rivers converge before joining the Tittabawassee River to form the Saginaw River.

The Straining Tower at Vyrnwy reservoir, Powys, Wales, UK
The Straining Tower at Vyrnwy reservoir is an intake tower built to extract water from the lake. The tower stands on the north shore of Lake Vyrnwy, near the village of Llanwddyn, in Powys, Wales. The Lake Vyrnwy dam project was designed to provide a water supply to the city of Liverpool and work on the dam began in 1881. On its completion 11 years later, the lake was the largest reservoir in Europe and water was drawn from it into the straining tower and carried to Liverpool on a 110km-long aqueduct.

This is one of the groynes on Blyth Beach and something has obviously gone awry. I spotted it as I was trying to get a shot of the beach huts and thought that it might make for a good mono long exposure. However, when I got there the low sun was bouncing off the face of it so I thought a colour LE would work better.
I do want to go back when the tide is a little higher so I can get the end of the groyne disappearing into the North Sea.
"Take the strain" is an idiom that generally means to bear the burden or responsibility for something, often a difficult or stressful situation. It implies relieving someone else of pressure or worry by taking on the challenge yourself.
What's the difference between a rope and a cable?
The term cable is often used interchangeably with wire rope. However, in general, wire rope refers to diameters larger than 3/8 inch.
Sizes smaller than this are designated as cable or cords. Two or more wires concentrically laid around a centre wire is called a strand.
