These Canada Geese start their day with the morning rise, a guidance for the beginning of a new day !
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and awesome day dear flickr friends.
Thank you to everyone for your visits to my photo-stream....very much appreciated !
These are the last two (for the time being) from Holywell Bay. I must have 50 or so scenes at different shutter speeds and angles that make similar scenes so different.
These trees are on Milner Lane adjacent to the Hetchell Wood Nature Reserve, West Yorkshire. The reserve lies between the villages of Wothersome, East Rigton, Thorner and Scarcroft
Hetchell Wood is a mix of woodland, species rich grassland and wet flushes, Hetchell Wood provides a tranquil retreat on the edge of the conurbation of Leeds. The variety of habitats provide refuge for the rare species which were once widespread in the local landscape.
These are edible.....You see, the ones on the right, when they dried up, you can cook them with soup, meat and so on. I do have them in my home now.
These fellows are lounging on a bench in the outdoor Goldwell Museum near the Rhyolite ghost town near Death Valley. I tried to learn about this sculpture and was unable to find any information.
Happy Bench Monday!
These are the buildings facing the beach in Aberystwyth. The sun is setting over the sea at this time and the starlings are coming in to roost under the pier (you can see some flying in, top left), a thoroughly pleasant place to be on a balmy autumn evening.
I just fancied this angle on the paddling pool that is there for children to enjoy in the summer.

These areal antics are a huge reason so many come from so far away to get frames of these guys honing their skills and playing with objects in the air. They exchange food in the air as well as a measly stick found to be the object of play. Here they are squabbling over something and one is showing the other a warning of impending doom.....
Thanks for the visit and comments
These parakeets were sitting on a slanting supporting wire of a piller.
The rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri), also known as the ring-necked parakeet, is a medium-sized parrot in the genus Psittacula, of the family Psittacidae. It has disjunct native ranges in Africa and South Asia, and is now introduced into many other parts of the world where feral populations have established themselves and are bred for the exotic pet trade.
The rose-ringed parakeet is sexually dimorphic. The adult male sports a red and black neck ring, and the hen and immature birds of both sexes either show no neck rings, or display shadow-like pale to dark grey neck rings.
... These Will Soon Be In a Local Nursery, Flower Shoppe, and Floral Section Near You ....
These Are Last Years, Knock Out Roses ....
Have A Wonderful Day .... Cindy
I saw these birds in a large puddle down at Hamilton waterfront. I had my large Sony with the large lens on (which was good) but no tripod to help steady the beast (which was not good)
Half of them good and half not.
Hearing of Glen Campbell's passing has bothered me. I do feel sad when any great musician passes, but he was seriously one very important musician. Part of the wrecking crew in L.A. and very influential. Good friend to Alice Cooper.
A horrible thing for a family to go through. His Daughter wrote this song and it is moving. You WILL get a tear in your eye.

Sometimes all we seek is the reflection of ourselves.
These two horses wanted to be outside. They like the other horses love to look at Aggie. Taken Feb. 21, 2016
These November days are very short. This was taken on my walk along Princes Parade . Moody and beautiful
These may not look like much but to me are some of the neatest trains to be found anywhere. These are acquisitions by the museum for possible restoration. They do a lot of that at Illinois Railway Museum (IRM). I figured that would be quite an undertaking but was still amazed to learn that the cost can be $1 Million or more!

These large wading birds are a Schedule 1 species. In summer, they have bright orangey-brown chests and bellies, but in winter they're more greyish-brown.
Their most distinctive features are their long beaks and legs, and the black and white stripes on their wings. Female black-tailed godwits are bigger and heavier than the males, with a noticeably longer beak (which helps the sexes to avoid competing for food with each other).
They're very similar to bar-tailed godwits, which breed in the Arctic. Black-tailed godwits have longer legs, and bar-tailed godwits don't have striped wings. As the names suggest, the tail patterns are different, too. What they eat: Insects, worms and snails, but also some plants, beetles, grasshoppers and other small insects during the breeding season(Courtesy RSPB).
Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated.
These Orioles are found in Mexico , Central America and as far north as South Texas near the Rio Grande River.
These three fellas was out taking a walk in the sunshine. It wasn't easy to make them stand still and pose to the camera.

Happy Easter to all my friends and family.
these were the most attractive rocks I could find for this sunrise light without local knowledge,colours were very attractive
These statues are part of an art exhibition in Budapest.
The New World Design for Contemporary Art presents almost 600sqm of the world of the Great War, which can be seen as the epoch that radically changed the world order of the time: the formerly stable empires have dissolved, culture and public thought have changed dramatically. World War II buried the old world, the result of a new world conflagration and then the Cold War. Europe was bleak in the twilight that the 20th century was dominated by America and Russia.
The exhibition takes visitors from happy peace to enthusiasm for war and bitter disappointment. It shows how the civilization of civilized and global warfare was fought, how the 19th century came to a standstill and the hinterland became the battlefield. The nature of war has changed: victory has now become a function of the amount of war material.

These hot pink flowers are a recent addition to our flower garden. They are on their second blooming of this season, so I'm delighted to know they hadn't said goodbye just yet. Even as their flowers fade, they seem to be a convenient stop for all sorts of flying insects
These delightful sugar skull and marigold cookies were made and wonderfully decorated by a 14 year old. If she continues baking and decorating like this I think she'll have herself a good little side line business to help her through college.
Well like a descendant, I drifted far, far and wide
Isolation, separation, no where to hide
Maybe there's somewhere I can go
Where there's sunshine and the wind won't blow

These leafhoppers inhabit rough grassy areas, peat bogs and mires, wet meadows, near marshes or in swampy habitats, but sometimes live also in drier areas.
The adult males of Cicadella viridis can reach a length of 5.7–7 millimetres (0.22–0.28 in), but the females are quite larger than the males, reaching 7.5–9 millimetres (0.30–0.35 in).
Their pronotum and scutellum are green and yellow. The front head is pale yellow, with two black spots near the compound eyes. The forewings are turquoise green in the females, blue or dark bluish in males (sexual dimorphism). The abdomen is bluish-black.
The larvae are yellowish and have two brownish stripes running from head to the end of the abdomen.
These, not so little, babies are just trying to adjust for some space in the nest. Their heads just peeking over the top of the nest. Momma had to find a another branch until they stopped fidgeting. Taken in the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve.
These beautiful stairs lead to the grave of Jake Kenyon Shulman, the only child of famed Houston philanthropist, Dr. Carolyn Farb. He died in 2004 at the age of 34. This is located in Houston's Glenwood Cemetery.
As always, your comments and faves are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.
These wooden planks carried the giants of Hollywood...
The Deauville American Film Festival (French: Festival du cinéma américain de Deauville) is a yearly film festival devoted to American cinema, which has taken place since 1975 in Deauville, France.
It was established by Lionel Chouchan, André Halimi, and then Mayor of Deauville Michel d'Ornano, with support from the Groupe Lucien Barrière in providing a luxurious setting for the Festival.[3] Although not competitive at its origin, the festival began to award prizes for feature films in 1995 and short films in 1998.
