There were thousands in the river and this one just stood out !
Thank you very much for your kind comments, favorites and looking and please stay safe !
There were hundreds of mallards in the park on this day. A great opportunity to brush up on my bird in flight capture technique!
There is some confusion about the exact identity of this species. While H. Priesner considered all Eastern European specimens belonging to P. pogonioides, others consider this name a synonym of Priocnemis propinqua.
Based on the sculpture of the propodeum of the collected specimen, this is P. pogonioides.
This is a very rare sp. in Hungary. Until now, it was known from 3 localities, represented by about as many specimens. Bácsborista (near Kelebia) is a new locality.

The Enchantment Event is open & Enchanted items are awaiting you.
There is a place
Where I can go
When I feel low
When I feel blue
And it's my mind
And there's no time when I'm alone
I think of you
And things you do
Go 'round my head
The things you said
Like "I love only you"
Hello? (hello) (hello)
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home? ~Pink Floyd from The Wall
Not been that happy with my macro raindrops recently. As there were loads around this morning I practised.

The sun had hidden behind the cherry tree... but couldn't help letting some of its august malice filter to us...
Le soleil s'était caché derrière le cerisier... mais n'a pas pu s’empêcher de nous laisser filtrer un peu de son auguste malice...
This morning I found Lincie studying tree climbing techniques. There is birds on top of the pine but so far she unable to climb it, the branches are too high.
Well level 4 lockdown end may be in sight for us in New Zealand. Which will mean I can again go out to photograph sunsets and sunrises. Like this one taken 14th January 2018, Taken from Te Mata Peak looking over a misty Tuki tuki valley out to the east coast. Hawke's Bay New Zealand

MISS ROSIE, A CORPSE FLOWER, bloomed at Tucson's Botanical Gardens on Monday April 23, 2018. I photographed it the following day when it was in the early stages of closing. The Flower was pollenated and the eventual seeds will hopefully produce more Corpse Flowers. This image is a detail.
The corpse flower is a pungent plant that blooms rarely and only for a short time. While it is in bloom, the flower emits a strong odor similar to rotting meat or, aptly, a decaying corpse.
The black-blotched porcupinefish (Diodon liturosus), also known as shortspine porcupinefish, is a member of the family Diodontidae. It is found in the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indo-Pacific on coral and rocky reefs and in inshore waters. Other names are the blotched porcupinefish and the brown-backed porcupinefish.

There are four types of Dik Diks. One species was introduced many years ago to Prison Island off the western shores of Stone Town in Zanzibar. I still need to ascertain which this is. My guess is that these are Kirks Dik Dik's. They are a diminutive antelope that only stand at around 12-15 inches at the shoulder. Being so small they have a habit of hiding away in forests and are really skittish. I considered myself to be lucky to encounter this one, although scrambling through the undergrowth did reward me with a few flesh woulds from the prickly shrubbery.
As can be seen it was pretty dark in the woodland so I had to crank up the ISO.
There's too much rain outside. The balcony is wet and I leave paw prints all over. That is why I dried them on the blanket on the sofa (and made Big Human watch soccer on the floor).
There is a bridge as you get into the park. Two ducks were there. We gave them some food. As we left they came running behind us along the path.
This is Zoey, be sure to go give her a follow and encourage her to take more pics, and ask to see her Tattoos
Cleo rarely visits the world on the other side of the fence as usually she doesn't see any sense in summoning the energy for such an endeavor. It's not easy for a cat of her size to climb over a fence. She has a ladder on my side of the fence which makes it easier for her but there still remains the big question how to get back. The neighbour hasn't seriously considered yet to put a ladder on his side of the fence as well. When Cleo has ended up in the neighbouring garden and wants to return home she often rather walks around the neighbour's house and along the street to our front door where she has to wait until someone finally lets her in. As she can't reach the door bell that can take a while. If she is lucky a neighbour who sees her informs me that "the big cat" is waiting in front of the door. Cleo doesn't consider "big cat" as a compliment, btw. :) Happy Fence Friday !
There will always be brighter days ahead. Sometimes I get too focused on the now, and see only the darkness. Today for instance, the stock market is down; the Omicron variant is causing another winter Covid scare; the politics in Washington is rancorous; rumors of wars, rumors of this, rumors of that. And yet, brighter days will surely come again. Back in August of 2015, the sun was shining brightly on the Bean in Chicago. It may be dark outside now, but the sun will surely shine again.
