These 2 hinds stand against each other to determine who has the highest rank

when the birds are sleeping

that's when the trees sing

you left your winter clothes

and your teeth marks in my skin

These textiles come from the southern coast of Peru. Fishing was very important. So were pelicans, which were even used to catch fish for humans.

These photographers are a pest.

These are what appears to be two siblings huddling together. Such gorgeous looking little characters. Little Owls were introduced to New Zealand from Germany between 1906 and 1910, with the intention that they would help control the numbers of small introduced birds, which were becoming a pest in grain and fruit crops. With the exception of one pair released in Rotorua, all were liberated in the South Island. Little owls bob up and down if startled and have an undulating flight pattern.

These two were taking pictures for a very long time outside the post office in Talad Noi. This iconic building is a favourite for Instagrammers

These plants, almost like cotton, grow in wet soil high up in the mountains and look like this late in summer.

These boots are made for walkin'

And that's just what they'll do

One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

You keep playin' where you shouldn't be playin'

And you keep thinkin' that you'll never get burnt (ha)

I just found me a brand new box of matches, yeah

And what he knows you ain't had time to learn

These boots are made for walkin'

And that's just what they'll do

One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

Are you ready, boots? Start walkin'

These roses were fully opened on February 2nd and were too heavy for their slender stems and were touching the ground. So here they are in a tall slender cobalt blue vase.

Day 33 - February 2, 2021

These guys are full of character.

These clouds appeared after a heavy storm in southern Maryland. They were so low I thought if I had a ladder I could touch them. No photoshop here!

These two last captures of these Beauties are taken last February, almost a year ago. It has not snowed yet during this Winter, so, why not sharing some photo-moments of the past one! This white Beauty was captured in the specific area of the Chateau de La Hulpe, where horses live.

these 'roadside" daylilies bloom in my garden every year. I have other varieties of hemerocallis as well as they are among my most favourite perennials. Pest-free and virtually maintenance free :-)

These Pallid Swifts are so difficult to photograph in flight and this was the best of the many I took!!

 

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.

These old and now unused mooring points tell a story of a busier port with fishing vessels and traditions now long gone. For me they are a reminder of things we have lost. Still standing strong is the Forth Bridge her usefulness remains thankfully

Saw these on one of my contacts streams so went investigating cow pats to find some for myself! So minute they are only visible as tiny gleams. These Pentax shots are better than my DSLR shots, but I think the Raynox attachment might help next time.

 

Update - this one was a "private" attachment on a previous post in 2013. I was having a rootle through one of my fungi albums and thought to give it an airing on its own page now after making it public.

 

flickr have added their own tag and decided this is food - nomnom!

These ground cherries were grown by my son and his spouse in their garden this year. I love the thin paper-like covering that surrounds the fruit.

These little friends are always welcome

These two roads worked well together in the years prior to the BNSF merger. Many times MRL used their power to move trains when BN was power short at Laurel.

 

One of the interesting combinations is climbing the hill west of Livingston through the site of a tunnel daylighted by Northern Pacific.

These guys are so graceful when they land They seem to float in the air

these bison bulls stand 6 to 7 feet tall at the shoulder and weigh up to 2,000 pounds - they can eat 30 pounds of grass a day - jump 6 feet high and 7 feet horizontally and run up to 35 mph - "Bisonguards" on the prairie preserve roads are 14 feet wide which is double the standard width of a cattleguard

 

These bacteria mats were pretty amazing to me. Primordial looking. This was taken at the Midway Geyser Basin with my camera resting on the boardwalk. These are bacterial mats that extend everywhere, surviving on the heat of the springs. So cool to see. I remain amazed at Yellowstone!

For a while there, it was rough

But lately I've been doin' better

These cute grebes were seen passing each other (not friends I guess !) at Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve. However, they are both breeding indicated by the black vertical stripes on their bills

These are the remains of a powder factory that was built underground during WW2.

The facility was maintained until 1973 when it was abandoned.

These beauties are above me while I’m crouching down in this flower field to photograph them during the golden hour.

These hummingbirds stop in the Davis Mountains of far west Texas on their way south. This appears to be a female.

Bethel Park Pennsylvania, about a mile from where I was born.

Retired in 2001 from service, I probably rode on this 500 times as I lived along the line in two different homes growing up.

 

The building in the background was the first grade school built around 1905. I wasn't around then!

these are my new best friends.
