Pied Flycatcher (F) - Ficedula hypoleuca
The European pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) is a small passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family. One of the four species of Western Palearctic black-and-white flycatchers, it hybridizes to a limited extent with the collared flycatcher. It breeds in most of Europe and western Asia.
It is migratory, wintering mainly in tropical Africa.
It usually builds its nests in holes on oak trees. This species practices polygyny, usually bigamy, with the male travelling large distances to acquire a second mate. The male will mate with the secondary female and then return to the primary female in order to help with aspects of child rearing, such as feeding.
The European pied flycatcher is mainly insectivorous, although its diet also includes other arthropods. This species commonly feeds on spiders, ants, bees and similar prey.
The European pied flycatcher predominately practices a mixed mating system of monogamy and polygyny. Their mating system has also been described as successive polygyny. Within the latter system, the males leave their home territory once their primary mates lays their first eggs. Males then create a second territory, presumably in order to attract a secondary female to breed. Even when they succeed at acquiring a second mate, the males typically return to the first female to exclusively provide for her and her offspring.
Males will sometimes care for both mates if the nests of the primary and secondary female are close together. The male may also care for both mates once the offspring of the primary female have fledged. The male bird usually does not exceed two mates, practicing bigamy. Only two cases of trigyny had been observed.

This bird is very difficult to approach
I succeeded to make some photos not to far (this one was the nearest +/-8m-9m) this time. Thankfully in winter there is no leaf on branches. This time you can see the male.
Cet oiseau est très difficile à approcher j'ai réussi à faire quelques photos de pas trop loin (celle ci était la plus proche +/- 8m-9m) cette fois. Heureusement en hiver il n'y a pas de feuille sur les branches. Cette fois, vous pouvez voir le mâle.

Ergebnis: Alle Bemühungen der kleinen Meise blieben letztendlich vergeblich. Trotz aller Anstrengungen ist es ihr nicht gelungen, einen Partner auf sich aufmerksam zu machen und für sich zu gewinnen.
Das Bild erweckt den Eindruck, als schaue sich mich traurig und frustriert an ...
Result: All efforts of the little tit were ultimately in vain. Despite all her efforts, she did not succeed in attracting the attention of a partner and winning her over.
The picture gives the impression of looking at me sad and frustrated ...
I haven't seen her in my garden since that day.

Windsor Castle is a royal residence at Windsor in the English county of Berkshire. It is strongly associated with the English and succeeding British royal family, and embodies almost 1000 years of architectural history.
The original castle was built in the 11th century after the Norman invasion of England by William the Conqueror. Since the time of Henry I, it has been used by the reigning monarch and is the longest-occupied palace in Europe. The castle's lavish early 19th-century State Apartments were described by early 20th century art historian Hugh Roberts as "a superb and unrivalled sequence of rooms widely regarded as the finest and most complete expression of later Georgian taste". Inside the castle walls is the 15th-century St George's Chapel, considered by the historian John Martin Robinson to be "one of the supreme achievements of English Perpendicular Gothic" design.
After a period of neglect during the 18th century, George III and George IV renovated and rebuilt Charles II's palace at colossal expense, producing the current design of the State Apartments, full of Rococo, Gothic and Baroque furnishings. Queen Victoria made a few minor changes to the castle, which became the centre for royal entertainment for much of her reign. Windsor Castle was used as a refuge by the royal family during the Luftwaffe bombing campaigns of the Second World War and survived a fire in 1992. It is a popular tourist attraction, a venue for hosting state visits, and the preferred weekend home of Queen Elizabeth II.
The old adage of if you don't succeed try, try again is well known to those shooting landscapes and cityscapes. We've all encountered the time when the weather, the sun, the clouds, the city lights, or maybe all of the above just don't want to cooperate when you're trying to get that perfect shot. If we're lucky we get to go back to try again and hope the next opportunity turns out better.
That's the story of this beautiful area along False Creek in Vancouver overlooking Science World and BC Place stadium. I was hoping to get a decent blue hour shot here and luckily was in Vancouver for 4 days which allowed for multiple attempts. On the first attempt the rain came pouring down right around when sunset was supposed to be through blue hour. The second attempt I was very hopeful. It was Victoria Day, a major holiday in Canada, and the weather was going to be wonderful! My hopes were up dreaming of fireworks and the Science World dome with amazing lights... only to find no fireworks and most of the dome lights off with only a small section in red... Luck was on my side on the 3rd try with the dome fully lit with a cool purple! Eureka! Third time turned out to be a charm :)
" You won’t succeed with every try. You just need to do your best …With adventure comes perspective And relationships – and skill Yes, the things that really matter…. When you act with power and will Prosperity is character. When challenging times arrive, So brace up and hold steadfast… Act with confidence… and thrive for your prosperity. "
Rest hope you all enjoy amsy work as always ^^

In this anthological light at sunset, I was very happy to succeed in this huge panorama of Mâcon from nine original photos assembled 3 by 3 in HDR mode, then with the 3 resulting HDR photos juxtaposed in one.
I tried on this photo to give the widest possible view of Mâcon. It gives a good idea of the scale and beauty of the panorama. It is particularly highlighted by extraordinary reflections in the Saône river, and by the sunset which illuminates the 2 towers of Saint-Pierre church and tints the sky with magnificent colours.
You can also admire here almost the entire Saint-Laurent bridge, dating from the 11th century. Only the last arch on the Saint-Laurent side is missing. Its extraordinary length for a medieval bridge (215 m - 706 ft) is obvious.
On the other side of the bridge, the whole Saône river's front of Mâcon unfolds, with in particular the 2 towers (14th century) of old Saint-Vincent, and the departmental archives tower which dates from the 1960s.

Immense panorama au coucher du soleil
Dans cette lumière d'anthologie au coucher du soleil, j'ai été très heureux de réussir ce panorama immense de Mâcon à partir de neuf photos d'origine assemblées 3 par 3 en mode HDR, puis avec les 3 photos HDR résultat juxtaposées en une seule.
J'ai cherché sur cette photo à donner la vue la plus large possible sur Mâcon. Elle donne une bonne idée de l'ampleur et de la beauté du panorama. Il est particulièrement mis en valeur par des reflets extraordinaires dans la Saône, et le coucher de soleil qui illumine les 2 tours de l'église Saint-Pierre et teinte le ciel de couleurs magnifiques.
On admire ici aussi pratiquement tout le pont de Saint-Laurent, datant du 11ème siècle. Il ne manque que la dernière arche coté Saint-Laurent. Sa longueur extraordinaire pour un pont médiéval (215 m) nous saute aux yeux.
De l'autre côté du pont, tout le front de Saône de Mâcon se déploie, avec notamment les 2 tours (14ème siècle) du vieux Saint-Vincent, et la tour des archives départementales qui date des années 1960.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
Spreeuwen gebruiken na de broedtijd gezamenlijke slaapplaatsen. Dit zijn soms rietvelden in natuurgebieden, maar soms ook grote bomen of gemakkelijk toegankelijke grote bouwsels in steden zoals treinstations of winkelcentra. In de loop van de herfst en de winter vormen zij daar vaak enorme groepen (zwermen) die gezamenlijk spectaculaire vliegshows ten beste kunnen geven in de buurt van deze gezamenlijk gebruikte slaapplaatsen.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starlings use shared roosts after the breeding season. These are sometimes reed beds in nature reserves, but sometimes also large trees or easily accessible large structures in cities such as train stations or shopping centers. In the course of autumn and winter they often form huge groups (swarms) that together can give spectacular air shows in the vicinity of these jointly used sleeping places.
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
The little skater shreds...
Skippy was inspired to create his universe with the help of the following:
KraftWork's The Shred Flat, which is part of the new Builder’s Box!

One of my very favourite plants that I have never succeeded in growing ...
Flit is thankful for the rain and ventures out to get some smokes while the population density is low. Buying a few packs might be a good idea, and some snacks while she's out before hunkering down in her bunker for another week... or so.
53 days in self-isolation is starting to get to her, the uncertainty starting to weigh on her mind trying not to get caught up in the endless variables that play in her circuits. That and the humans using all the bandwidth watching Netflix at home is interfering with her own communications systems.
She will have to take the lockdowns one day at a time, we've all come too far to muck it all up now...

I was totally excited when I saw the fog and the sun in the morning. I had planned for this. I got ready for work, skipped breakfast and went to out. The forest is on my way to my working place. I was hoping to find a path leading into the mist and into the sun. As you see I did not succeed because of the rapidly fading mist. I am happy anyway - what a start of the day.
Dumps in former mining areas have become part of the landscape over time. This is exactly what the Förderverein Bergbau Erbe Saar e.V. Ensdorf/Saar did not want to happen. It wanted "a symbol for the 250-year mining tradition on the Saar... and for the necessary new beginning and structural change thereafter! "He succeeded in doing this by organising a competition and the winning project by Pfeiffer Sachse Architekten. The Duhamel slag heap is once again becoming a landmark. A new unity emerges from the interplay between the heaviness of the slag heap and the lightness of the polygon. Both the slag heap and the project reinforce each other's effect. Although static as an object, the polygon appears almost kinetic and has a completely different effect depending on the view. Sometimes almost unstable, like a triangle on a point, sometimes broadly dominant. From a distance, the figure is almost intriguing because it cannot be grasped directly. Then, on the approach and ascent, it disappears, only to unfold all the more dramatically in all its facets on arrival at the plateau. The polygon becomes both a stage for the far-reaching view and a magnet for the view from a distance, a land art that also fulfils a functional function as a viewing platform.With simple means from the production of industrial culture, a spatial framework made of sectional steel has been created here, a sculpture that emerged from local steel production. A complex effect was achieved with simple means. The artificial light effect has also emerged from the structure and enhances its effect at dusk with discreet use.This project between land art and steel construction is an extremely successful sign for the client, the architects and engineers. It is an understandable and at the same time an emotional project for everyone, far beyond the region.
Halden in ehemaligen Bergbaugebieten sind über die Zeit teil der Landschaft geworden. Angenommen von der Bevölkerung, riskieren sie ihre Symbolkraft über die Zeit zu verlieren.Das ist genau das, was der Förderverein Bergbau Erbe Saar e.V. Ensdorf/Saar nicht haben wollte. Er wollte « Zeichen für die 250-jährige Bergbautradition an der Saar… und für den erforderlichen Neubeginn und Strukturwandel danach! » Dies ist ihm mit der Auslobung eines Wettbewerbs und dem Gewinnerprojekt von Pfeiffer Sachse Architekten einprägsam gelungen. Die Halde Duhamel wird wieder zur Landmarke. Aus dem Wechselspiel zwischen der Schwere der Halde und der Leichtigkeit des Polygons entsteht eine neue Einheit. Beide, die Halde und das Projekt verstärken sich gegenseitig in ihrer Wirkung. Der massive Sockel wird zur Bühne einer leochten begehbaren Skulptur.Obwohl statisch als Objekt, wirkt das Polygon fast kinetisch und hat je nach Ansicht eine völlig andere Wirkung. Mal fast unstabil, wie ein Dreieck auf einer Spitze, mal breitspreitzig dominant. Aus der Entfernung ist die Figur, fast intrigierend weil nicht direkt erfassbar. Dann bei der Anfahrt und Auffahrt verschwindet sie, um sich um so dramatischer bei der Ankunft auf dem Plateau in alle Facetten zu entfalten. Sowohl eine Bühne für den Weitblick als ein Blickmagnet aus der Entfernung wird das Polygon zum Landart, das zudem noch als Aussichtsplattform eine funktionelle Funktion erfüllt.Mit einfachen Mitteln aus der Produktion der Industriekultur ist hier ein Raumfachwerk aus Profil-Stahl, eine Skulptur entstanden, die aus der lokalen Stahlherstellung hervorgegangen ist. Eine komplexe Wirkung wurde mit einfachen Mitteln erreicht. Auch die künstliche Lichtwirkung ist aus der Struktur hervorgegangen und verstärkt ihre Wirkung bei Dämmerung mit dezentem Einsatz.Dieses Projekt zwischen Landart und Stahlbaukonstruktion ist ein äußerst gelungenes Zeichen für den Bauherrn, die Architekten und Ingenieure. Es ist ein verständliches und gleichzeitig ein emotionales Projekt für alle, weit über die Region hinaus. Quelle bda-bund.de

Well, it seems winter isn't done with us yet ... just as we were beginning to see the shingles on our rooftops and the gravel in our driveways Mother Nature decided to blanket it all with more snow - and she is not done yet apparently. Those weather wizards are calling for another 20 cm's of snow over the next 3 days. You can see the sun trying to peek through in this photo but he (the sun is a he and the moon is a she - right?) never really succeeded as the day progressed ... the clouds bearing snow won the day.
Yes, it is a colour photograph. :)

Es una mezcla de magia y drama, pues en ese momento el individuo emergente es indefenso y está expuesto a ataques de sus depredadores.

A significant number of Orthetrum cancellatum emergencies occur during the spring and I am fortunate to be able to enjoy them.
It is a mixture of magic and drama, since at that moment the emerging individual is defenseless and is exposed to attacks from their predators.

"To succeed in life you need three things:
a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone."
Quote – Dr Kavanagh
~~~~The Three Bones of Life~~~
The wishbone is about the importance of having a goal or a dream. Something to aspire to and focus on. After all ‘if you don’t have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true’? Anyone singing?! We all need motivation, and a goal or dream is a great way to keep moving forward. Your dream might be short or long term but it will be something that you can aim towards. Dreams help you go beyond your perceived limits and aim high. It’s so important that we don’t allow indecision or fear of failure or change to destroy our dreams and stop us achieving them.
The backbone is about strength and courage, keeping our feet on the ground and our head above water. If we want to achieve our dream, we need to be resilient, to stretch ourselves and see things through. It’s also about believing in yourself and having clear boundaries. Sometimes we have to say no to other people and put ourselves first in order to give ourselves strength and energy. It’s easy to be ordinary, so much harder to stand out from the crowd and stand up for what you believe in.
The funny bone reminds us that humour is so important in our daily lives. We need to be able to laugh at ourselves, be vulnerable and accept that making mistakes is all part of the journey. If we can be less serious and see the funny side of things, we will not only enjoy life more but we will be less self-absorbed and far more optimistic. It’s also about looking for the silver lining in the inevitable clouds.~~~~

An old shot I've just got round to processing - (I'm very slow)
This week is the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London so this one seemed appropriate - I've posted a wider shot of this evening before with the old wooden posts in the foreground.
Here I'd zoomed in to 55mm to get more detail in Tower Bridge & the City but had to create a pano to include the Shard & Tower 42.
I particularly liked the burning red reflections in the windows of the Thames Clipper & Tower 42 in this one.
One of those grey overcast days where I wasn't expecting any colour but the Sun broke under the cloud right at the end.
The sky colour was so intense that the raw file was too saturated to need any increase.
The Great Fire of London was started in Pudding Lane by the Royal Baker (inadvertently) in 1666 - so they say.
Luckily very few people were thought to have been hurt & the fire succeeded in sterilising most of the run down slum filled bits of London that had been ravaged by the Great Plague.
For some reason Great Fires, Puddings & Bakers brought 'The Great British Bake Off' to mind.
If you're a fan of the show like my wife - (although I suspect the real reason she watches it is to see the steely eyed scouser - Paul Hollywood) - & you're a serious baker - be sure to turn off the oven before going to bed :))

The second installment of my Series, which rather than focusing on CURRENT students, it is instead meant to focus on students after their time in Hogwarts. Our next subject, Alaric Vos, Slytherin. The Half-Veela son of a wealthy and affluent pureblooded wizard who ventured outside of his marriage to secure an heir. Raised in a rather abusive household, Alaric worked hard to become a great wizard to ensure his independence and ability to protect himself from twisted expectations of the Vos family. With a love for potions, Alaric focuses his time and talents in front of the cauldron working on healing potions that he hopes will bring great benefits to the wixen world.
Thanks to my friend Alaric for letting me use him!

"To laugh often and much.
To win the respect of smart people,
And the affection of children,
To earn the approval of honest critics,
And face the betrayal of false friends,
To appreciate beauty,
To find the best in others,
To leave the world a bit better,
Whether by a healthy child,
A garden patch,
Or a redeemed social condition,
To know one life has breathed easier,
Because you have lived,
This is to have succeeded.”

Turquoise is used to describe things that are of a light greenish-blue colour. ... a clear turquoise sea.
Spring, also known as springtime, is one of the four temperate seasons, succeeding winter and preceding summer. There are various technical definitions of spring, but local usage of the term varies according to local climate, cultures and customs. When it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it is autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. At the spring (or vernal) equinox, days and nights are approximately twelve hours long, with daytime length increasing and nighttime length decreasing as the season progresses.
