Thank you for your friendly visits and valued comments.
There are moments that you wish to never end. This was one such situation.
The view was beautiful, with the amazing blue of the sea contrasting with the variegated green tones on land and all of it was covered by fantastic cloud formations, creating a unique atmosphere that was reinforced by the absence of any sound or movement.

Old, unique, and full of personality… The Tufa is otherworldly, but you need to search to find the best views. When we finally arrived at the South Tufa in the afternoon, we were thrilled and surprised by the number and beauty of these incredible God made structures on the lake... There is an easy boardwalk trail down to the Lake. The views are magnificent and beautiful. This lake is often used as the face of 'wish you were here' postcards, and deservedly so.

Another unique shop/cafe in the historic shopping district of Micanopy, FL. Many years ago Micanopy was known for their antique shops and was a very desired location for dealers, but sadly the desire for antiques has fallen over the years. We were afraid of what we would find here after a pandemic too, but most of the buildings were still occupied and there are more gift shops and restaurants taking over.
Happy Fence Friday and have a wonderful weekend!
and this is a beautiful, beautiful thing, grasshopper.
Libba Bray.
Grasshoppers are insects of the suborder Caelifera within the order Orthoptera, which includes crickets and their allies in the other suborder Ensifera. They are probably the oldest living group of chewing herbivorous insects, dating back to the early Triassic around 250 million years ago. Grasshoppers are typically ground-dwelling insects with powerful hind legs which enable them to escape from threats by leaping vigorously. They are hemimetabolous insects (they do not undergo complete metamorphosis) which hatch from an egg into a nymph or "hopper" which undergoes five moults, becoming more similar to the adult insect at each developmental stage. At high population densities and under certain environmental conditions, some grasshopper species can change colour and behaviour and form swarms. Under these circumstances they are known as locusts.

Golden Eagle - pre jump.
I couldn't believe my luck when I came across this beauty. He was hunting from this fence post while his partner was watching him from their favorite tree upslope and in full view.
I proceeded out of my vehicle very slowly and got into position and remained very quite and calm. After a minute he targeted a ground squirrel and went to ground.
Each individual bird has it's own unique disposition, and even more so do species have their own tendencies to behave in particular ways.
You never know what impact your presence has, especially if a predator is hunting. I always try to error on the side of cautious and give them room to do their thing.
There is no such thing as a wildlife photographer who never flushes a bird, no matter how skilled or knowledgable they are. I was pleased to leave this beautiful Eagle in peace after getting a memorable sequence.
That should be the goal of every wildlife photographer.
As I drove away it remained on the ground next to a ground squirrel hole, patiently waiting for a meal.
More photos from this sequence to come.

Jutting out into the Pacific Ocean from the spectacular Big Sur Coast, the Point Sur Lighthouse stands as a silent sentinel to a by-gone era.
Point Sur, a National Historic Landmark, is the only complete turn-of-the-century light station open to the public in California.
From 1899 until 1974, families lived and worked in the buildings atop Point Sur. Today the place is a ghost town.
The unique stone lighthouse still guides ships with its light, though it is now totally automated.
Thank you for your comments,

The unique church of St. Nicholas in Horodysh was the oldest church building in Menshchyna. In 2016, the church was moved to the National Museum of Folk Architecture and Life in Pirogov.
St. Nicholas Church was built in Horodysh in 1763, it consisted of a four-sided nave, an eight-sided hall and a six-sided altar. By the way, the structure was built without a single nail.
In 2016, the church was dismantled and moved to Pirogov. Only the foundation remained in Horodysh.
In the restored church, the walls are the same as in Horodyshche, and the outside is decorated with modern materials.
Унікальний храм Святого Миколая в Городищі, був найстарішою церковною спорудою на Менщині. У 2016 році церкву перевезли до Національного музею народної архітектури та побуту, що в Пирогові.
Свято-Миколаївська церква зведена в Городищі 1763 року, складалася з чотиригранного бабинця, восьмигранної зали і шестигранного вівтаря. До речі, споруду побудовали без жодного цвяха.
2016 року храм розібрали і перевезли до Пирогова. У Городищі залишився тільки фундамент.
У відреставрованої церкви стіни стоять ті, що й в Городищі, а ззовні оздобили сучасними матеріалами.
Unique pair of historical railway bridges constructed in the late 19th century.
On 12 September 1931 a mentally challanged man named Szilveszter Matuska blew up the bridge under a train travelling to Vienna. 22 people died.
The act of Matuska was considered a Communist coup and resulted in the introduction of martial law.

Unique social passerine with a disproportionately long tail and very short and rounded wings. Overall pallid sandy-brown. Often seen hopping on the ground with its tail cocked. Favors vegetated desert wadis and plains in the Middle East; also found near human habitation. Eats arthropods, plants, and berries. Moves around in noisy social groups; the subject of intensive studies for decades. Gives a high-pitched “tsee tsee tsee.” (eBird)
-----------
Although the description above suggests that these birds are easy to see, that was not our experience. While we did see them in groups, they were usually hidden in quite dense vegetation and were very difficult to photograph. I really like babblers as a family because they are cute and fun to watch so I was pleased to finally get a half-decent shot of this one perched briefly on a branch.

I have seen sunflower fields many times - but rarely such a jungle. The perspective was really interesting - it felt like going downhill and then up a slope. This was already in the shade and the foreground was illuminated by the sun - the whole thing with a 200 mm focal length and a blurred foreground ... that's it ...
Bayerischer Sonnenblumen-Dschungel
Ich habe schon oft Sonnenblumenfelder gesehen - doch selten solch einen Dschungel. Die Perspektive war echt interessant - gefühlt ging es erst bergab und dann einen Hang hinauf. Dieser lag bereits im Schatten und der Vordergrund wurde von der Sonne angestrahlt - das Ganze mit einer 200 mm Brennweite und einem unscharfen Vordergrund...das war's...

Uroplatus lineatus is a gecko which is found in eastern Madagascar and on the island Nosy Bohara. These geckos live on trees in tropical rain forests and on bamboo plants. They reach a total length of 270 mm or 10.63 in. Threats to this species are posed by deforestation and illegal pet trade.
Leaf-tailed or Uroplatus geckos are one of Madagascar's most unique species. These moderate- to large-sized geckos rely on cryptic coloration as they sleep with their heads downward, flattened against tree trunks and adjusting their body coloration to their surroundings.
Inactive during the day, Uroplatus geckos move only when disturbed. They respond to prodding with an impressive display of a brightly colored gaping mouth and an erect tail. At night they hunt insects. – Wikipedia
"Unique among North American raptors for its diet of live fish and ability to dive into water to catch them... Ospreys are very large, distinctively shaped hawks. Despite their size, their bodies are slender, with long, narrow wings and long legs." Cornell Lab of Ornithology Photographed in the wild, Florida, USA.
A very unique looking bird adept at natural camouflage and found in the higher elevations of the Himalayas. The male - in this picture - has a very interesting pattern and I struggled to sight it for a couple of minutes even while the others started taking shots.
This is a gamebird closely related to the Grouse bird. The birds just lay down on the forest floor and stay still making it very tough to identify them. They also forage on the forest floor eating pine nuts, shoots, seeds, pollen and other fruits that fall on the ground. I believe they are named after their calls (noted from Wikipedia).
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
Thank you Elma! Love your group so much ♥♥♥

A uniquely-patterned, medium-sized hummingbird, the adult male White-necked Jacobin has a blue head and chest, a sharply contrasting white nape, a green back and blackish wings. The White-necked Jacobin can be found in a variety of habitats from humid forest canopies, to tall second growth forests, and even in coffee and cacao plantations. White-necked Jacobin can be found within its broad range feeding on nectar and small arthropods; occasionally, many will concentrate at flowering trees where they are aggressive and even territorial to one another. Although uncommon throughout most of its large range, the White-necked Jacobin's population is believed to be stable, and consequently has not been placed on any threatened species lists. Here you can see a juvenile (left) and an adult (right).
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Darling,
open your eyes.
You are not made up of those words that hurt you.
Or that number on the scale.
Or the expectations that you feel you will never meet.
You are made up of nothing more than you.
Simply,
beautifully,
wonderfully,
uniquely you.
You are a lovely and complex soul.
An individually fascinating combination of thoughts,
ideas,
feelings,
emotions.
No other is as beautiful as you.
Look past the mirror.
Look at your soul.
Only then will you see yourself as you truly are.
Beautiful.
So smile!
And don’t forget to love yourself.
