Young male lion (Panthera leo) not known to be associated with any pride in the area. He's likely wandered from his birth pride and looking to establish his own territory. Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya. Conservation Status: Vulnerable
Ta Prohm (pronunciation: prasat taprohm) is the modern name of the temple at Angkor, Siem Reap Province, Cambodia, built in the Bayon style largely in the late 12th and early 13th centuries and originally called Rajavihara (in Khmer: រាជវិហារ). Located approximately one kilometre east of Angkor Thom and on the southern edge of the East Baray, it was founded by the Khmer King Jayavarman VII:125]:388 as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university.
Unlike most Angkorian temples, Ta Prohm is in much the same condition in which it was found: the photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor's most popular temples with visitors. UNESCO inscribed Ta Prohm on the World Heritage List in 1992. Today, it is one of the most visited complexes in Cambodia’s Angkor region. The conservation and restoration of Ta Prohm is a partnership project of the Archaeological Survey of India and the APSARA (Authority for the Protection and Management of Angkor and the Region of Siem Reap).

My mate Nev checking out the territory from the top of the still bare Plum Tree that is next to our balcony, as his family, along with the Blackbirds, Wattlebirds and Doves vie for the best real estate to build a nest.
I was out yesterday just scouting for new places, and I think this place can be of interest both in sunrise and sunset. This one was captured midday with the Lee big stopper.
Jasper prowling the neighborhood sage in search of things to sniff or chase. I think purple suits Jasper. Maybe it complements his blue merle coloring.
When I saw Galahs in my yard today, I cautiously stepped into the yard, expecting they would fly away. They just looked at me, giving me the impression they already knew who I was, and they weren't afraid. They moved around the perimeter fence and seemed to survey me and the environment. Perhaps they were looking for a particular variety of seed, such as Sunflower seeds. If I passed muster, they will surely be back tomorrow and every day thereafter.

The rugged beauty of the Badlands draws visitors from around the world. These striking geologic deposits contain one of the world’s richest fossil beds. Ancient horses and rhinos once roamed here. The park’s 244,000 acres protect an expanse of mixed-grass prairie where bison, bighorn sheep, prairie dogs, and black-footed ferrets live today. - NPS
My oldest daughter and her boyfriend climb out onto one of the many formations to get a better look of the park.

There comes a point in your life when you realize:
who matters,
who never did,
who won't anymore...
and who always will.
Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Thank you for the texture ~diAnNa~
Actually, I think this Yellow Warbler was looking for a potential mate, after all, it's that time of year. By the way, this is one of the first shots I took with my new camera.
Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day!

This Grackle is checking things out. He decided to stay and partake of the bird seed that I put out!
Thanks so much for your visits and I wish you all a safe weekend.
fairly big crop (about 1/4 of original full frame shot) but I was pretty pleased with how good the focus was. I alternated between one-shot and al servo...and I think this was the latter.
Meet Charlie the Chaffinch or Charles III to give him his full title. He always takes the highest branch above our Breakfast Club and waits patiently while the peasants feed before taking his place at the table. If I was to tell you the full story about his favourite sound you would not believe me so i will try to video it.

Early this morning I drove out to Whale Rock reservoir and to my joy I saw the Bald Eagle looking over the lake from a large rock outcrop.
