A lesser goldfinch does the splits while feeding on sunflower seeds. Lesser goldfinches occur from the intermountain west in the U.S. to northern South America. This individual is is part of the green-backed race, found mainly in the species' western range. Toward the eastern and southern parts of their geographic range lesser goldfinches have black backs.
The Two Buttes 4,711’ (1,436 m) in southeastern Colorado is a prominent double-capped butte rising 356 feet (109 m) above the surrounding plains.
The Two Buttes was certainly known by the native Americans of the region (Comanche, Kiowa and Arapaho) and known to the Spanish of New Mexico (perhaps as early as 1706). However, no oral history, cartographic depiction, or written description of this unique feature of the Colorado plains have been found in indigenous or Spanish-colonial records.
The first known written description was noted by an American trapper/trader, Jacob Fowler, passing through what was then Spanish territory (now southeastern Colorado) in June 1822.

Two hours old, born in the shade
Pines, poplars, and dogwoods.
A perfect spring morning.
The sun rising over the mountains.
Mother washing her labor of love.
Heifer, in a greedy first feed.

The Danube village of Pfatter, visible in the background, was once a key settlement in the Gäuboden region and played a central role in the area. There are two churches in Pfatter: the Catholic parish church of the Assumption of Mary (on the right in the picture) dates back to the 15th century.
The secondary church of St Nicholas (on the left) was built on the trading and transhipment site used by Danube boatmen and was first mentioned in a document in 1468.
Das Donaudorf Pfatter, das im Hintergrund zu sehen ist, war früher ein zentraler Ort im Gäuboden und hatte eine Mittelpunktsfunktion in seiner Region. In Pfatter gibt es zwei Kirchen, Die katholische Pfarrkirche Maria Himmelfahrt (rechts im Bild) geht auf das 15. Jahrhundert zurück.
Die Nebenkirche St. Nikola (links) wurde auf dem Rat- und Umschlagplatz der Donauschiffer erbaut und 1468 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt.
for "Crazy Tuesday" theme is "two colors" .........
“Golden”
Golden, golden, golden as I open my eyes
Hold it, focus, hoping, take me back to the light
I know you were way too bright for me
I′m hopeless, broken, so you wait for me in the sky
Brown my skin just right
You're so goldeYou′re so golden
I'm out of my head, and I know that you're scared
Because hearts get broken
I don′t wanna be alone
I don′t wanna be alone when it ends
Don't wanna let you know
I don′t wanna be alone
But I, I can feel it take a hold (I can feel it take a hold)
I can feel you take control (I can feel you take control)
Of who I am, and all I've ever known
Lovin′ is the antidote.....
This shot was taken with the same old Leica lens that I used for the shot of St Paul's Cathedral that I posted a few days back. It's a 90mm lens but when I adapt it to use on my Olympus Micro 4/3s camera, with it's crop sensor, it effectively becomes a 180mm lens. Using a telephoto lens that long will inevitably introduce a lot of compression into an image and you see that phenomenon very clearly here. The chimney tower on the right, which stands on top of the Tate Modern museum, is approximately 250 meters away. Meanwhile the slightly taller Shard building on the left is approximately 1100 meters away (distances measured in Google maps). The Shard is 306 meters high, the Tate chimney tower is 99 meters high.
an old but unforgettable photo i did in Sabie Sands, 14th august 2015 .
at sunset time a beautiful young leopard (panthera pardus) male
called "Quarantine" climbed the termite mound next to us and
started watching the sunset.
then he decided to get up and leave.
the scene was too close for my camera lens so i decided to use my smartphone.
a now very old Samsung Note4 did his job .
the rangers were very surprised by this shot and they asked me a copy of the photo.
Quarantine is now a dominant male in sabie sands, this shot is in the ranger office.

Two's company - The maze like limestone pavement of Twisleton Scar End stretching out to Ingleborough in the distance on a bright spring morning. Two ash trees cling to the limestone in this seemingly inhospitable environment.

The dromedaries at our local zoo are quite comical and seem to know how to ignore the camera pointing at them... they will strike a pose however, when given the chance, lol
