I think I have the correct ID for this bird, seen on 16 March 2017, at the Asa Wright Nature Centre, Trinidad. If I am wrong, please let me know - thanks. Taken in low light and rain.
"The white-lined tanager (Tachyphonus rufus) is a medium-sized passerine bird. This tanager is a resident breeder from Costa Rica south to northern Argentina, and on Trinidad and Tobago. It occurs in semi-open areas including gardens.
The adult male is glossy black, apart from white underwing coverts and a small white patch on the upperwing. These white areas are conspicuous in flight but otherwise rarely visible. Females and immatures are entirely rufous in plumage, somewhat paler below." From Wikipedia.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-lined_tanager
"The White-lined Tanager is strikingly dimorphic, and the sight of the black male in close association with the rufous female is often the first clue to identification. The name refers to the extensive white on the underwing coverts of the male, which typically are visible only in flight." From Cornell's NeotropicalBirds.

This adventure was only the second holiday of any kind, anywhere, that I have had in something like 30 or 35 years! The other holiday was a wonderful, one-week trip with my dear friends from England, Linda and Tony, when we went down south to Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons in September 2012. I have had maybe half a dozen weekends away, including to Waterton National Park, which have helped keep me going.
Six birding/photographer friends and I decided that we would take this exciting trip together (from 12-21 March 2017), spending the first two or three days on the island of Tobago and then the rest of the time at the Asa Wright Nature Centre on the nearby, much larger island of Trinidad. We decided to take a complete package, so everything was included - accommodation at both places, all our food, and the various walks and day trips that we could choose from. Two of my friends, Anne B. and Brenda, saw to all the planning of flights and accommodations, which was so very much appreciated by the rest of us. I could never have done all this myself! We were so lucky with our flights, as we were just in time to get Black Friday prices, which were 50% off!
What a time we had, seeing so many beautiful and interesting things - and, of course, everything was a lifer for me. Some of these friends had visited Costa Rica before, so were familiar with some of the birds. There was a lot more to see on Trinidad, so we were glad that we chose Tobago to visit first and then spend a longer time at Asa Wright. It was wonderful to be right by the sea, though, at the Blue Waters Inn on the island of Tobago. Just gorgeous.
The Asa Wright Nature Centre, on Trinidad, is such an amazing place! We stayed in cabins up or down hill from the main building. Really, one doesn't need to travel away from the Centre for birding, as so many different species visit the Hummingbird feeders that are right by the huge, open veranda, and the trees of the rain forest high up the mountainous road. The drive up and down this narrow, twisting, pot-holed road was an adventure in itself! Never would I ever do this drive myself - we had a guide who drove us everywhere in a minibus. I had read many accounts of this road, lol! There was enough room for two vehicles to pass each other, and the honking of horns was almost continuous - either to warn any vehicle that might be coming fast around the next bend or as a sign that drivers knew each other. The drive along this road, from the coast to Asa Wright, took just over an hour each way.
I still miss the great food that was provided every single day at Asa Wright and even the Rum Punch that appeared each evening. I never drink at all, so I wasn't sure if I would even try the Punch - glad I did, though, as it was delicious and refreshing. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all served buffet-style, with a great variety of dishes from which to choose. To me, pure luxury. So very, very grateful to have been invited to be part of this amazing adventure.
This is a video that I came across on YouTube, taken by Rigdon Currie and Trish Johnson, at many of the same places we visited on Trinidad and Tobago. Not my video, but it made me feel like I was right there still. Posting the link here again, so that I won't lose it.
I also came across the following 27-minute YouTube video of the flora and fauna of Trinidad, filmed by John Patrick Smith in February 2015.

I was watching the kids jump from a bridge this afternoon. Once she thought about it more than 10 seconds I knew she wouldn't jump...
She was a very pretty young girl how they talked her into it I don't know. She was smarter that he was. The jump may have taken her suit off her so she did the right thing.
From the ornamental plants around the home of my brother and sister-in-law, in Tennessee. I'm not sure if this is a trillium or not. The flowers were about 2 inches/6 cm across, and were apparently not completely opened yet. I like the variegated leaves, too. The material lying on the plant was catkins (flowers) from some tree.
Larger sizes available.
Any help in identification would be appreciated. Thanks. It's apparently Trillium chloropetalum, or maybe Trillium cuneatum. It seems to be a trillium, in any case.
On April 1, Apple turns 50. As an Apple alum, I bleed 6 colors with pride.
And I just got this framed display for my office... with the poster Jobs had in his... and his Apple 1 ribbon cable too.
Some brides stress, some don't. I think I'm a serene bride.

The loco was new to LMS/SDJR as 83 in April 1914 and later renumbered 9673 and 13803. Withdrawl was in February 1962 and cutting up at Crewe Works the following month.

On this dreary dull cold day in early December I thought a little pink cheer would be nice. It's hard to believe that only about 5 weeks ago I was standing in a big garden plot of cosmos.

Astrantia is an old plant name and as the flower is star shaped it is believed that the Greek word astron, meaning star, may be the origin of the name.
I think these Corollas still look really sharp for their age, especially considering the oldest date from 1988. This is one of the last, dating from April 1992.
This one is actually at the time of the picture in use as a learner's car, I presume you can see him driving with grandmother (who I imagine owns the car) in the passenger seat. I would've loved to practice driving in one of these! This one looked decent for its age, bar a brake light not working. This car must be a bit gutless with its 1.3 litre engine, and is also an automatic, so an odd car to learn to drive in!

Aprovechando la idea de las fotos anteriores y sabiendo el gusto de mi hijo por Apple y además no estando muy inspirada les dejo esta propuesta
There's also bushes with white flowers like this. Not quite sure, but I think they're Honeysuckle. They're wild and grow down by the river!!! :)
