Oliver is a rescued owl living at Green Cay Wetlands who was hit by a car, recovered but is unable to fly. Some photo manipulation here to brighten his day!
Thanks for all the faves and comments!
Turtles are unable to regulate their body temperatures independently, so they are completely dependent on the temperature of their environment. For this reason, they need to sunbathe frequently to warm themselves and maintain their body temperatures.
The red-eared slider gets its name from the small, red stripe around its ears, or where its ears would be, and from its ability to slide quickly off rocks and logs into the water.
Red-eared sliders are native to the Southern United States and northern Mexico, but have become established in other places because of pet releases, and have become an invasive species in many areas where they outcompete native species.
The carapace of this species can reach more than 40 cm (16 in) in length, but the typical length ranges from 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in). The females of the species are usually larger than the males. They typically live between 20 and 30 years.

Great Crested Grebe - Podiceps Cristatus
The great crested grebe has an elaborate mating display. Like all grebes, it nests on the water's edge, since its legs are set relatively far back and it is thus unable to walk very well. Usually two eggs are laid, and the fluffy, striped young grebes are often carried on the adult's back. In a clutch of two or more hatchlings, male and female grebes will each identify their 'favourites', which they alone will care for and teach
Unusually, young grebes are capable of swimming and diving almost at hatching. The adults teach these skills to their young by carrying them on their back and diving, leaving the chicks to float on the surface; they then re-emerge a few feet away so that the chicks may swim back onto them.
The great crested grebe feeds mainly on fish, but also small crustaceans, insects small frogs and newts.
This species was hunted almost to extinction in the United Kingdom in the 19th century for its head plumes, which were used to decorate hats and ladies' undergarments. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds was set up to help protect this species, which is again a common sight.
The great crested grebe and its behaviour was the subject of one of the landmark publications in avian ethology: Julian Huxley's 1914 paper on The Courtship‐habits of the Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus).

Requesting suggestions for a desktop PC. Tried lots of different ones...so many are geared for the gamer and not so much towards the photographer. Appreciate your feedback.
Thanks

Unable to be on the hills on a wonderful crisp clear day - compensation was watching the lovely sunset.
A bull elk emerges from the Snake River on a cold, misty morning in Grand Teton National Park.
I have an ongoing love affair with elk. From the very first time I heard the eerie call of a bull bugling I was hooked. For years I was unable to get close enough to get a decent photo as the elk around where we had our cabin in southwest Colorado were too skittish. Now, thanks to our National Park system and the protection and habitat they provide I am finally getting the opportunities to get the images i had only dreamed of.
Thank you for your views and comments and have a great weekend!
This owl swooped down for prey in the creek. Unfortunately, I was unable to get a clear image of his departure to ID the prey.
Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder. Consequently, I have chosen to explore digital AI artwork as an alternative. I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it diverges from traditional photography. However, I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.

The golden autumn colours were glorious in the valley. A hundred or so Fieldfare had arrived eating the berries. ( I was unable to capture them!)
This cormorant killed a pike
BUT the fish was so big that he was unable to take it out of water to eat it , so he deciced to dive and to eat it underwater !!
Ce cormoran a tué un brochet
MAIS le poisson était si gros qu'il était incapable de le sortir de l'eau pour le manger, alors il a décidé de plonger et de le manger sous l'eau !!

For those too young, the title is inspired by "Bambi" which was a traumatizing movie for me to watch way back in the day! Alas, this man is friendly, and was unable to start any fires in the forest on this particularly snowy winter day.

This is again a photograph, where I am unable to choose between two versions. This photo is also existing in upright format. Sometimes its like that, that minimal changes in the creation of photos are effecting enormous changes in the their impression. These are the moments when I have to force a problem, because I don't have to decide for but mostly against one of these versions. Even after asking my family, who have to report here then (I’m joking), I'm not always able to. But in the end I would call that luxury problems.
Dies ist wieder einmal ein Bild, bei dem ich nicht zwischen zwei Versionen entscheiden kann. Das Bild gibt es bereits in einer Version im Hochformat. Manchmal ist es so, dass minimale Veränderungen bei der Gestaltung der Bilder die Wirkung drastisch verändern. Das sind dann die Momente, die mich vor ein Problem stellen, denn ich muss mich nicht für die einen, sondern meist gegen die andere der Versionen entscheiden. Trotz der Befragung meiner Familie, die dann immer hier antreten muss (ich mach nur Spaß) gelingt mir das nicht immer. Ich würde das allerdings als Luxusproblem bezeichnen.

Thank-you to all who take the time to view and comment on my photos it is greatly appreciated!
Stay safe and well my Flickr friends. <3
I've been a little unable to access social media these past few days due to the fact that I'll be moving soon so I apologize for that. I really hate the actual physical exhaustion behind packing but few people talk about the mental exhaustion that plays a big part too. This is my friend Kaitlyn who moved to London from Chicago a few years ago...I can't imagine how much stuff she had to give away in comparison and how much more difficult that move was than this one, a mere 4 miles away, but I have been coming across a lot of the Japanese literature books she gave to me that she had a hard time parting with at the time as they were rare. Don't worry-I'm taking care of them and they will still be a part of my new home!
I really miss Kaitlyn and haven't kept up with her the way I should have. She is super smart and funny and quite exceptional to be around. It's funny how you can miss and long for certain humans at different times.
Anyway, I hope you are all well.

Two photos for this 14th day of March, 2014. Almost the entire coast of Norfolk Island is sheer and rugged cliffs. I took this photo on a morning walk in Norfolk Island National Park, and carefully framed it with a Norfolk Island pine, the reason the English claimed the island in the first place. They assumed the pines would replace the timber previously acquired from their north American colonies. In fact, Norfolk Island pines were wholly unsuitable for ship building, such is the folly of greed.
The disaster didn't stop there, when the penal settlement was established on the island and land clearing began, they discovered a thin layer of soil over what is a volcanic outcrop. The soil was not fertile and not suited to growing crops, consequently much of it was washed away due to deforestation.
Unable to grow crops, the settlers turned to eating the wildlife, until there were none left. A pristine uninhabited South Pacific island raped and ruined for no good purpose, while untold and unnecessary misery was inflicted on those sent there against their will and better judgement.
Incredible as it may sound, the folly, mismanagement and maladministration continues to this very day, but that's a story for another time.

Had one of these beauties fly alongside my car this week, when out after Hares. Unable to get a snap, so here is an old one, not loaded before, Suffolk.
Unable to re-visit Conowingo Dam this year to photograph the Bald eagles, I am resorting to re-visiting the archives.
Was unable to do spring cleanup or planting this year. Couldn't even find anyone to hire. Therefore, we have nothing but weeds. I did my best early one morning to enjoy it anyways.

Still being unable to get out I am continuing to delve into my archive. This time though I only go back a couple of years to a visit to the local reserve at St Aidans. Alas the photo was taken through some reeds which are just visible in the image.
The subjects are a pair of little humbugs seen hitching a ride on a parents back. After the chicks have hatched black-necked grebes will desert the nest and the chicks live on the parents backs for about 4 days. After about 10 days the parents will split the chicks up with each parent taking care of half of the brood. They are independent after another 10 days and fledge in about 3 weeks.
The latest news from the reserve is that 18 were spotted on 30th March. Fingers crossed we will be treated to a repeat of such sights in the near future.

Unable to disregard your unending curiousity, you delve into the court wizard's archives to find your answers and hopefully ease your suspicions. Searching the numerous stacks of books, you find nothing but esoteric incantations or texts in languages that're beyond your comprehension. Nearing the end of your patience, you find a small black book tucked away inbetween some of the other tomes. Once you opened it, you go wide eyed and stare in disbelief; your feelings finally justified, much to your dismay.

I was unable to find an exact date that this church was founded, but counting back from all the pastors and their length of service, I would say around 1900. The land was donated by Mr. Cornwell with the stipulation that the church be named after his son, Willie.
Sometime around 1957 an addition was added to the front of the church and the church was brick veneered. The latest improvement was in 2002 with the addition of the church fellowship hall.
This church is located in Lancaster County, Virginia.
Leptophyes punctatissima belongs to the Tettigoniidae family and can reach a length of 10 - 15 mm. The species which is unable to fly occurs in many parts of Europe and inhabits open woodland, parks, gardens, hedgerows and shrubby environments.

Unable to travel up North this Spring due to Covid-19 so here is an image from my last trip to the Yorkshire Dales.
These lovely little waders will often sit on the drystone walls in the evenings but normally fly off when you point a lens at them.
They nest in the damp meadows on the moorland and use the walls as lookout posts.
i was lucky with this one as it remained on the wall long enough to get a few close shots from my car.
-Unable to stop himself, he followed the beauty who motioned him to follow her down the side of the club. Her curves bathed in the neon light as she moved along the wall. The only sounds were the thumping bass from the other side. She kept peaking back to make sure he was there, giving a sweet smile when their eyes would meet. "Who is she?" crept across his mind as she turned finally reaching the end.-

Unfortunately this photo is unable to even show a small piece of the view I had here by myself. In a cold winter night I was on my way to a photo location. The forest floor was completely covered with small ice crystals and everytime the light of my headlamp was moving over them they were sparkling like millions of diamonds. That view was so stunningly beautiful that I had to intercept my tour for a while to capture, at least for me, this special moment.
Dieses Foto ist leider nicht einmal ansatzweise in der Lage, den Anblick wiederzugeben, den ich selbst hatte. In einer kalten Winternacht war ich auf dem Weg zu einem Fotospot. Der ganze Waldboden war von kleinen Eiskristallen bedeckt und jedesmal, wenn das Licht meiner Stirnlampe darüber strich funkelten diese wie millionen Diamanten. Der Anblick war so umwerfend schön, dass ich meine Tour für eine Weile unterbrechen musste um, wenigsten für mich, etwas von diesem besonderen Moment einzufangen.

I was unable to identify this plant, but two commenters (see below) have done so for me. It's an evening primrose (Oenothera speciosa).
The plant was growing wild, with the flowers, which were about 2 in/5 cm across, fairly close to the ground. Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?
A Black Skimmer, unable to walk as it is missing feet -- probably from getting tangled in fishing line -- flies a short distance to move nearer the group.
It's really disheartening to see the damage people do to wildlife whether from ignorance, negligence, or malice. Disposing of fishing line, leaving the dog at home when going to natural areas, and not allowing children to chase or approach are simple things that you can do to make this a better place for what remains of our natural world.
No sign of the chicks on this evening , but I suspect they weren't far away.

Many thanks as always to all those kind enough to comment and fave my pics, or even stop by for a look. Although I am unable to always respond, your feedback is very much appreciated.
