Sorry, unfortunately, I accidentally removed some pictures from my stream!
Wish all Flickr friends a nice week!
Unfortunately I had not much time for flickr in the last few months. I think I have now more time again :-)
Here is another picture from the island flores (Azoren): The Rocha dos Bordões are 30-50 meter high basalt columns.
Unfortunately, it was a pretty windy so I didn't often get the butterflies out in the open up high and when I did, most shots were not sharp. A great day out though.
Thank you for your comments and faves
Unfortunately, by this stage in the day my age and aching joints were catching up with me, so I wasn't as low as I would have liked for this shot. :-)
Thank you for your comments and faves
Unfortunately it was still very cloudy, so I couldn't make a more clearer view of the surrounded mountains.
We started our walk from the bus terminal of Kamikochi up to this Shinmura Bridge along the hiking trails of Azusa River.
Kamikochi (上高地, Kamikōchi) is a popular resort in the Northern Japan Alps of Nagano Prefecture, offering some of Japan's most spectacular mountain scenery.
... if the summer comes to an end now so slowly. One feels already sometimes how the nature prepares for it. Has found some sentences in addition:
The darkness
begins again earlier
and smokier breathes
the wilted nature.
The foliage covers
rustling the ways,
the autumn already signs
his coloured track.
Still summer
and, nevertheless, already past.
In the morning as a white frost ends
the fog in the grass.
At noon seems
still the warming sun,
if she transforms him
in pearls of glass.

Unfortunately I missed the flowering of the cherry trees in the areas I usually visit, near of my birth towm.
My last visit was in the beginning of July, but the flowering was two weeks early.
These two photos are from 2021. Enjoy!
I noticed this beautiful-unique clock just outside of Palmer House Hotel in Chicago and had to get a shot of it. Used several apps (Stackables, Enlight to name a few) to obtain this textured look. Hope you like it!
Unfortunately, in these days I have some lung disease (not Covid), and I wasn't able to take a new "single" flower pic. Therefore, I resorted to an archived image. I hope that you will like it, anyway.
Have a nice Friday, dear friends! ;-)
Unfortunately I've lost the link to the reference. If you recognise it please let me know so that I can give you credit, Pat
... the magnificent blossoming of the magnolia / Tulpen-Magnolie (Magnolia × soulangeana) in our neighbour's garden - Frankfurt-Nordend
Have a Peaceful Bokeh Wednesday anyway!
Unfortunately, all snow-sure excursion destinations in our region have been closed since yesterday due to previous crowds and risk of infection ... so only a "shining example" from past days remains.
I showed the picture in black and white two years ago.
Leider sind seit gestern alle schneesicheren Ausflugsziele in unserer Region wegen vorherigen Massenandrangs gesperrt...so bleibt nur ein "leuchtendes Beispiel" aus vergangenen Tagen.
Das Bild habe ich vor zwei Jahren in sw-Version gezeigt.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Barn Owl - Tyto Alba
Norfolk, Unfortunately a bit distant!
Like most owls, the barn owl is nocturnal, relying on its acute sense of hearing when hunting in complete darkness. It often becomes active shortly before dusk and can sometimes be seen during the day when relocating from one roosting site to another. In Britain, on various Pacific Islands and perhaps elsewhere, it sometimes hunts by day. This practice may depend on whether the owl is mobbed by other birds if it emerges in daylight. However, in Britain, some birds continue to hunt by day even when mobbed by such birds as magpies, rooks and black-headed gulls, such diurnal activity possibly occurring when the previous night has been wet making hunting difficult. By contrast, in southern Europe and the tropics, the birds seem to be almost exclusively nocturnal, with the few birds that hunt by day being severely mobbed.
Barn owls are not particularly territorial but have a home range inside which they forage. For males in Scotland this has a radius of about 1 km (0.6 mi) from the nest site and an average size of about 300 hectares. Female home ranges largely coincide with that of their mates. Outside the breeding season, males and females usually roost separately, each one having about three favoured sites in which to conceal themselves by day, and which are also visited for short periods during the night. Roosting sites include holes in trees, fissures in cliffs, disused buildings, chimneys and haysheds and are often small in comparison to nesting sites. As the breeding season approaches, the birds move back to the vicinity of the chosen nest to roost.
Once a pair-bond has been formed, the male will make short flights at dusk around the nesting and roosting sites and then longer circuits to establish a home range. When he is later joined by the female, there is much chasing, turning and twisting in flight, and frequent screeches, the male's being high-pitched and tremulous and the female's lower and harsher. At later stages of courtship, the male emerges at dusk, climbs high into the sky and then swoops back to the vicinity of the female at speed. He then sets off to forage. The female meanwhile sits in an eminent position and preens, returning to the nest a minute or two before the male arrives with food for her. Such feeding behaviour of the female by the male is common, helps build the pair-bond and increases the female's fitness before egg-laying commences.
Barn owls are cavity nesters. They choose holes in trees, fissures in cliff faces, the large nests of other birds such as the hamerkop (Scopus umbretta) and, particularly in Europe and North America, old buildings such as farm sheds and church towers. Buildings are preferred to trees in wetter climates in the British Isles and provide better protection for fledglings from inclement weather. Trees tend to be in open habitats rather than in the middle of woodland and nest holes tend to be higher in North America than in Europe because of possible predation.
This bird has suffered declines through the 20th century and is thought to have been adversely affected by organochlorine pesticides such as DDT in the 1950s and '60s.
Nocturnal birds like the barn owl are poorly monitored by the Breeding Bird Survey and, subject to this caveat, numbers may have increased between 1995-2008.
Barn owls are a Schedule 1 and 9 species.
Population:
UK breeding:
4,000 pairs
Europe:
110-220,000 pairs
Unfortunately the spider is out of focus but I love this picture.
It was taken by my daughter with her mobile phone and it was an opportunity for the "strict" father to scold her for not carrying her camera at all times!
Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me that day. I took this photo with my phone.
Maalesef, o gün yanımda fotoğraf makinam yoktu. Bu fotoğrafı telefon ile çektim.
Unfortunately ,not my best capture at all, but the only chance I had as my battery went after the first click !!
In rainy conditions ,down by the Duke of Lancaster ship at Rhewl .North Wales .
from decorating ! Unfortunately the decorating isn't easy, as the room is difficult, being full of furniture which I can't move easily. So apologies that I'm slow on Flickr and my admin duties so often. Busy altogether, taking our dog out too ... but I have my camera with me on our walks and thought this made a good subject. I've photographed this tree before and thought it was dead, but it isn't !! It's got leaves bursting out again - perfect beautiful Spring !
Thank you so much for your faves, and comments. I can't thank you all personally, for the reasons explained above, but you know you're all so appreciated. Have a wonderful Easter weekend, I hope you all have good weather wherever you are. I am carrying on with the decorating, unfortunately ! But I will be here too !!!

Unfortunately it is a broom branch which is highly invasive and has become a problem on Vancouver Island replacing local species.
unfortunately it is not a good fire season here in New Mexico. We have two major fires burning right now and other little ones popping up daily. The Thompson Ridge fire is burning in the Jemez Mountains, unfortunately close to the devastating Los Conchas fire from a couple of years ago.
... unfortunately with little room for biodiversity conservation,
but hopefully this will change after the recent declarations of intent at COP15 !?!?

for a Peaceful Travel Tuesday!
Hello my dear Flickr friends, it is so far unfortunately I have to go to the hospital and have a major surgery when I will be back I don't know yet it depends on how it goes. I hope I'll be there for you again soon.
Greetings Meicke💋💋
Unfortunately it was raining yesterday, no sunsets Sunday for me, instead here is one from two weeks ago,
Have a wonderful week ahead.
As I post this Sunset I can see the beautiful Sunrise from the computer room.
Unfortunately I did not have a CMM at hand to throw into that mess for good measure... 😁

Unfortunately I didn't have my camera on a hike. So as this balloon was passing by I had to use my smartphone.
--
This is a sport balloon btw. The crew was training for a national championship (I'd never heard of this championship before)
Unfortunately the bird population on our plot of land has decreased significantly. We haven't seen a Dark Eyed Junco for one month.
So we focus on a few new birds that we do have such as the Tufted Titmouse and the Tree Sparrow. Oh joy ☺️
Now on to photographing the Titmouse, not an easy task!
Unfortunately i didn't have a tripod with me, but still happy with the result. (cam was on the railing)
Thanks for your visit, invites, comments and faves !!!
Nice to walk away from the madding crowd.... No trains either this time of the year. Beautiful views from Rocky valley station 710m on the way up to the summit of Snowdon .Unfortunately! the weather turned pretty ugly so I had to turn back at this point.
Hi, unfortunately the cancer is having a party in my lungs - but the immuno cavalry is on the way - and I believe they are really good at sorting out parties that are getting out of control :-) So I'll be around a while, apologies if it takes a while to get back to everyone, I'm going to have to learn how to dance !!!
But unfortunately, this place wasn't open at 7:30 am. What's up with that? HMB! chagrinfallspopcorn.com/
