I was at Abberton yesterday as you can imagine there is some big fish in there, carp, pike and bream as here! There must of been a shoal of bream about, I saw the cormorants catch 3 but I never saw one swallowed! They all had a go at eating the prize but keep dropping it in the water, retrieving it again, dropping it, retrieving it! Unless they swallowed it underwater which I doubt, it probably ended up at the bottom! Got a few more shots to post over time!

Hello everyone,

Yesterday's post was of a gentle appearing flower. Thought it might be fun to show one at the opposite end of the pendulum. I couldn't help but notice the plant which was next to the sidewalk. The horticulturalist must have had a lot of fun coming up with the colour combo!

I used Plantsnap to ID the bloom and the closest I could come up with was primula unless one of you knows otherwise.

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment. I do love hearing from you!

Have a marvelous day!

The Red Phalarope is a very rare breeding bird in Iceland! It's protected by strict laws so you are not allowed to go close to it during breeding season unless you have a special permit to do so.

The lagoon and the channels of the Okavango Delta were filled with beautiful elegant water lilies. We glided through the flowers in a mokoro carefully weaving a path without harming the flowers. The guides in Botswana respect the land and the animals and practice he ultimate in conservationism. Wish we could import some of their respect of nature into the USA.

It was a bit too hot for this old guy to go looking for Elephants or Alligators, so I had to settle for taking Pics of the Hummingbirds that frequent my backyard. I believe this is an Allen’s Hummingbird.

___________________________

The Allen's Hummingbird:

In early spring, a narrow strip of scrub and chaparral along the Pacific Coast starts buzzing with the sights and sounds of the coppery and green Allen's Hummingbird. Males flash their brilliant reddish orange throat and put on an elaborate show for the females, swinging in pendulous arcs before climbing high into the sky and diving back down with a sharp squeal made by their tails. These early migrants mostly spend the winter in Mexico, but some stay in southern California year-round.

Allen's Hummingbirds breed in a narrow strip of habitat along coastal Oregon and California. Male and female Allen's Hummingbirds use different habitats during the breeding season. The male sets up a territory overseeing open areas of coastal scrub or chaparral, where he perches conspicuously on exposed branches. The female visits these areas, but after mating she heads into thickets or forests to build a nest and raise the young.

The Allen's Hummingbird is a remarkably early migrant compared with most North American birds. Northbound birds may depart their wintering grounds as early as December, arriving on their breeding grounds as early as January when winter rains produce an abundance of flowers.

Like other birds, Allen's Hummingbirds use their feet to help control their body temperature. When it's cold outside they tuck their feet up against their bellies while flying, but when temperatures soar, they let their feet dangle to cool down.

The oldest recorded Allen's Hummingbird was at least 5 years old when she was captured and rereleased in California during banding operations in 2009. She was banded in the same state in 2004.

Almost a 5 hour (at least 6 miles) round trip hiking in Yellowstone. This is not a super popular trail especially if you are regular tourists. We hiked from lower fall all the way to 4R1 and then hiked back to artist point right around sunset and then back to lower fall. It was exhausting but when you see such beautiful and quiet view, you forgot about your tiredness and everything is worthy for it. And I was glad I brought my big camera with me:) It's heavy but it's good! A lot of times, I was focusing on finding a good place to take a good photo but I forgot to enjoy the trip. This hike helped me focusing on experiencing the journey and then take the photo!

If I lack self-awareness, that's fine. At least I have a soul and a heart filled with compassion for others. I honestly don't know how you sleep at night.

Today I dreamed

Of friends I had before

And I wonder why

The ones who care don't call anymore

My feelings hurt

But you know I overcome the pain

And I'm stronger now

There can't be a fire unless there's a flame

Well out of my comfort zone here.

Would you believe at my age, I'd never been to a wood before.

And here I found myself, purely by accident, after getting lost trying to find another location.

What a magical place it was

We have another week or so for this to continue. Then the winds and rain that are normal will knock most of the leaves from the trees.

when you head in the direction of Toledo the colors start to disappear and the trashy urban Gehto look that is so popular in American cities starts to replace the beauty of nature.

The blue hour in the morning on the Grand Canal is a quiet and special time. The throngs of visitors are still sleeping and the gondolas look like they are too.

Before I left on this trip, I got a new little camera and had to replace my ancient computer, so I am learning what new things each of them can do. Good for the mind and to see the possibilities. I like vignettes so used that tool in editing.

are difficult to access unless you are teeny tiny with a long skinny beak. This little one was going all in to get the nectar from almost each and every petunia in the pot. Sometimes you wouldn't see his little head at all. Just his little body sticking out. Those tiny wings work hard keeping them in place while they drink the nectar. These little birds are so amazing to me. I could watch them constantly. I've got several shots of this guy and another one flying close like it's trying to get a good look at who this little invader of petunias is. I'll post one soon

Macro Mondays Theme: TWO. I didn't join this wonderful group until June so I went with one I hadn't done before. I chose the theme from April 4th which is our anniversary. Very apropos the theme was Two! 😊 The wheat was from a bouquet my daughter received when she graduated a couple of weeks ago from WSU Pullman.

Unless you learn to face your own shadows, you will continue to see them in others because the world outside you is only a reflection of the world inside you.

🎼🎶 ...:::••• Beautiful birds - Passengers •••:::...

Do you remember when we were two beautiful birds?

We would light up the sky, when we’d fly

You were orange and red like the sun when it sets

I was green as an apple’s eye

You said you loved all the songs that I'd sing

But nothing like you’d ever heard

And I said I loved you with all of my heart

When we were two beautiful birds

Do you remember when we were two beautiful birds?

We would say when the morning would come

You are silver and blue like the moon when it’s new

I was gold as the summer sun

But one day you asked for a different song

One that I just couldn’t sing

I got the melody sharp and the words all wrong

Those were the last days of spring

To build a nest we pecked feathers from our chests

Like a book tearing out every page

We want to know that these feathers would grow

Into a beautiful cage

unless you would rather crow

unless you fail to make the turn :-)

Nothing was left to do that I could see

Unless to find that there was no one there

And declare to the cliffs too far for echo,

"The place is desert, and let whoso lurks

In silence, if in this he is aggrieved,

Break silence now or be forever silent.

Let him say why it should not be declared so."

- Robert Frost

Angry ghosts keep me company

Eyes are closed but I'm awake

And I can't sleep deeply

Unless I've been drinking

Enough to drown out what they say

And what they say is more than I can take

Oh, what a warped way to learn from my mistakes

There are patterns in the static

Noises in my attic

Voices in my head keep me awake

I'm on the brink of madness

And I can't help but laugh at this

Oh, what a way

Oh, what a way to learn from my mistakes

Nobody gets away with anything

All must bear the balance sheet

So I befriend the voices

They've taught me some songs I guess

But, oh how the truth stings when they speak

And what they say

Is more than I can take

Oh, what a warped way to learn from my mistakes

Not awake but fighting sleep

I just hope

I can dream again

But there's patterns in the static

Noises in my attic

Voices in my head keep me awake

I'm on the brink of madness

And I can't help but laugh at this

Oh, what a way

Oh, what a way to learn from my mistakes

I'm pretty sure there were 4 blue candles unless I took the shot before all the candles were in place.

The cake was delicious and as a rare treat my grandson was also allowed a small piece.

May all the years ahead be as memorable and happy as the past Athos.

Common redpolls are a rare sight here in Iowa, but they really do live up to their name and are a common sight in far northern Minnesota where I'm headed this week. In addition to seeing more common redpolls, I hope to possibly see a hoary redpoll, plus some other neat northern birds, including evening grosbeaks, pine grosbeaks, Canada jays and boreal chickadees. I hope to be back home and touching base with you again on Flickr in about ten days unless a blizzard changes my plans.

Beautiful day through the Lairig Mor.

This was taken in 2014 early on the last day of the West Highland Way. The West Highland Way is a 96 mile walk and on my bucket list to do for many years.

We headed from Kinlochleven, through the Lairig Mor, over to Glen Nevis and down to the foot of Ben Nevis, the UK's highest mountain.

During the walk I was reminded not just of the Proclaimers hit song but also of a George Orwell quote - "The English are not happy unless they are miserable, the Irish are not at peace unless they are at war, and the Scots are not at home unless they are abroad.
