Regina, Saskatchewan, is famously absurdly situated on an inhospitable treeless plain, and the townspeople have lined their residential streets with elms — stately elms, most of which have not yet gotten ruined by Dutch Elm Disease, the hated killer.
In some sections of the city, the commercial streets are not treelined, creating comically sharp demarcations between treelinèdness and non-treelinèdness, at those places where commercial streets intersect residential streets. Haha!

Description
The Purple Hairstreak is our commonest Hairstreak but is not often noticed. Males have a purple upper wings whereas females have just a purple patch. The underwings are similar in both sexes, being lilac-brown crossed by a white 'hair-streak' and with an orange eye-spot next to a small tail streamer.
Habitat
Found around oak trees. It is often difficult to locate, due to its habit of flying in the tree canopy; however, the adults are occasionally seen basking at lower levels, on various small trees, shrubs and bracken.
When to see it
July and August
Life History
The adults feed on honeydew in the tree canopy and the larvae feed on oak buds.

Built in the open Rotton Park by John Perrott in 1758, who lived in Belbroughton, the tower now stands high above the local residential and business housing.
There are many stories to explain why the tower was built. One is that John Perrott wanted to be able to survey his land and perhaps entertain guests. Or the tower might have been used to spot animals for hunting. Or that he built the tower so that he could see his wife's grave, 15 miles away.
From 1884 to 1979 the tower was used as a weather recording station for the Birmingham and Midland Institute. In 1966 the Geography Department of the University of Birmingham took over the running of the observatory until operations were transferred to the main campus.
It has been suggested, but not proven, that the towers of Perrott's Folly and Edgbaston Waterworks may have influenced references to towers in the writings of J. R. R. Tolkien, who lived nearby as a child.
Fuzzy Primate With Bat Wings -
What was that clinging on the tree? I pinch myself hard to make sure I was not daydreaming, that it was really there. Little known, seldom seen, the odd reddish brown creature above was indeed the most elusive gliding mammal I thirst to meet. There are only two species of colugos, this is the Sunda Colugo and the other is found only in southern Philippines. Although his eyes were always skywards (have to watch his back for eagles I guess), I suspect his binocular vision also extend to the ground. The tall height and uneven elevation on the ground was challenging. As I was adjusting my position below the tree for a better view, he was also gyrating slowly on the trunk. Picture a terribly cute lemur doing Michael Jackson’s moonwalk, the scenario was comical. I still can’t figure how he does that without lifting his claws off the tree. It would be nice if he lowered himself for me so I get a better shot, too bad that never occurred and I continue to stargaze my prize from atop. What happened next was like a bolt from the blue.

Goomburra is part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, and represents a major stage of the earth's evolutionary history. It is an outstanding example of ongoing ecological and biological processes containing the most important natural habitats for conserving biological diversity.

Photograph taken at 13:23pm on Thursday December 26th 2013 off Knee Hill A2041 and New Road in the grounds of Lesnes Abey Wood in Bexleyheath, Kent, England.
Anyone who knows me knows that I have a passion for forests and trees, and I love to shoot with ultra wide angle lenses to capture shots of an all round canopy. There is something very calming and soothing I find when walking alone amongst trees, my favourites being the giant Douglas firs when I am on the Weste coast of British Columbia. I guess there is more than a little of the 'tree hugger' within me.

From Wikipedia: Crown shyness (also canopy disengagement, canopy shyness or intercrown spacing) is a phenomenon observed in some tree species, in which the crowns of fully stocked trees do not touch each other, forming a canopy with channel-like gaps.

After viewing and taking in all those Hindu cremations at Pashupatinath temple the previous day (see previous pictures earlier in this album), the following day started on a much happier note, thank goodness. Here is a monkey on a tree on the steps to the Syamwanbhunath stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal. You can ascend by a very long flight of steep steps, but thank goodness there is an easier alternative with comparatively fewer steps, which is the route I decided to take. The Swayambhunath complex consists of a stupa, a variety of shrines and temples, some dating back to the Licchavi period and a Tibetan monastery, museum and library which are more recent additions. The stupa has Buddha's eyes and eyebrows painted on it-we will see that as we go along. (see subsequent pictures later in this album). Between them, the number one (in Devanagari script) is painted in the fashion of a nose. There are also shops, restaurants and hostels atop the hill in the Swayambhunath temple complex. The site has two access points: a long staircase leading directly to the main platform of the temple, which is from the top of the hill to the east; and a car road around the hill from the south leading to the south-west entrance- that's the easier route I just mentioned. The first sight on reaching the top of the stairway is the Vajra (a thunderbolt of mythical weapon in both Hinduism and Buddhism). (Kathmandu, Nepal, Oct/ Nov 2019)
City sidewalk with trees providing a canopy. Unexpectedly a woman appears which adds focus to my view.
We had a few minutes to kill before our speaker about the Cedar Rapids flood of 2008 so we stopped at some state park. It overlooked the Cedar River and was rather restful under the tree canopy.

World Pinhole Photograph Day - 2021 April 25. Shot with a Canon 6D DSLR and a DIY body cap with a pinhole. I think the hole was a bit too small and the diffraction was preventing good focus. I've ordered a commercial pinhole with a precision sized hole, so may try again in the near future.
