This is one of the 3 Tree Swallow fledglings from our yard this summer. They fledged on July 12, 2016 in the one hour that we were away from home. This youngster is getting his big-boy colors and returned to our yard for one final visit. At one time, when he went to the box, I thought he was going to go in again. How nice to see him for a few minutes before he left. Taken in my back yard in Calgary, Alberta. A couple more photos are in the comment box.
Many thanks for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
Thank you for the visit and comments are welcome.

Out and about one day not far from home, yet in the higher elevations, we heard a distinct call "tschick-adee" repeatedly. About the same time, we saw some flighty movement getting closer and closer to us. Eventually, we encountered the quite adorable juniper titmouse. Interestingly, this titmouse species was differentiated from the Plain titmouse (into Juniper and Oak) reflecting their distict habitat where they reside. Though I had never seen one before (that I'm aware of), I just knew what it was by its cute crest on its head. It was quite curious about us and posed for some time for me. :-)
While I've been a bit envious of my friends still living in FL with their images recently being shared of SHC colt babies, roseate spoonbills, and easier access burrowing owls, I have to remind myself of species like this that call Colorado home. So darned cute as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks for stopping by to view. Happy weekend to all.

We were blessed this past week by the appearance of several Snowy Owls (Bubo scandiacus) who visited the Colorado Riviera. Their rare visit is associated with an outbreak of lemmings in the Arctic, providing more food and as a result more eggs laid and more young owls. Being territorial birds, the young Snowy Owls get chased out, and head south during the winter.
This is one of two Snowy Owls that visited Boulder, a young male, and my first sighting. It spent most of the day on the mast of a parked sail boat next to a reservoir. The owl is framed by North Arapaho Peak. I was struck by how thick the feather coating is- only the eyes and talons were not covered by a thick coating of feathers.
This is heavily cropped and poor quality, but an exciting happening for us southerners- no need to comment or fav.
Visit from the steer, the barn window at the renaissance festival, Castle of Muskogee, livestock at home.
This monarch visited the garden at the farm while I was tending to the animals. I only managed a few shots before she flew away.

"Sea of Love" by The Honeydrippers
Come with me, my love
To the sea, the sea of love
I want to tell you just how much I love you
Oh Fabbies, guess what's just around the corner? The 'holiday' everyone LOVES to hate! LOL Ah well, at least in my heart I love to love, so we can all love each other and celebrate that.
It was sooooo good to see the sun all day on Sunday. There was an actual break in our days of grayness. :-)
The weather was clearing up and soon after we arrived it stopped raining, and a beautiful light appeared both in the sky and the sea.
Thank you Flickr for giving me tips about these iconic lighthouses.
Bellevue Beach is a is a 700-metre-long sandy beach at Klampenborg on the northern outskirts of Copenhagen, Denmark.
The iconic lighthouse or lighthouses, cause there is two of them, have quite a history. In the 1930s, when the right to vacation became legally mandated, Denmark's coastline became the country's most popular holiday destination. Gentofte Municipality made plans to develop a piece of coastline north of Copenhagen into a seaside resort complex combining an existing park designed by the landscape architect C.Th. Sørensen with beach facilities catering to some 15,000 paying visitors a day. Three architects were invited to submit plans for a Bellevue beach complex. The winner was the young architect Arne Jacobsen, who had just opened his office. Characteristic of his approach to architecture and design—he was preoccupied with the concept of Gesamtkunst—Jacobsen designed everything from bathing cabins, lifeguard towers and kiosks to tickets and uniforms for the staff. The complex also included the Bellavista apartment buildings (1934), a restaurant and the Bellevue Theatre (1936), all of which still stand today in the immediate vicinity of the beach.
The beach with the lighthouses opened in 1932.
This shot is from one of the first times we ventured out for an overnight trip in the earlier days of the pandemic.
We visit Golden Gate Park often. It is a green belt in the middle of a densely populated metropolis, San Francisco. Yet this greenbelt has much to offer in the form of birds and waterfowl. At Lloyd Lake we found a hidden treasure of Hooded Mergansers. As with most days in SF, there was no sun. This Merganser was trying to eat some type of crawfish that was just too big for him to swallow. He tried over and over again to eat it but finally gave up. Turns out that “too much of a good thing” is really true.
Had a very nice visit to Zollverein Essen, Germany.
It has been a colemine and cokes factory: with an area of 100 hectares, more than 25 years after its closure, the once largest colliery in Europe is the only Unesco World Heritage Site of the Ruhr Area.

Heute gehts wieder zurück nach Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Das Spitaltor stadteinwärts. Ich wenn man bei Langzeitbelichtungen die Blende recht klein wählt und etwas Bearbeitung ins Bild steckt, macht es den Eindruck, es wäre einer 3D-Software entsprungen. Mag nicht jedermanns Geschmack treffen, ich finde es aber recht spannend.

...while I was taking pictures of her, one guy at first just saw the back of her head, and he asked me if I made falconers' caps! LOL...then he saw Holly, and said OH! He thought that her helmet was something else! :D
Regierungsviertel
Als Berliner Regierungsviertel bezeichnet man das Gebiet, in dem die wichtigsten Institutionen der Exekutive (Bundesregierung) sowie der Legislative (Deutscher Bundestag) ihren Hauptsitz haben. Im Kern des "politischen Zentrums" der Hauptstadt liegen das Reichstagsgebäude, in dem der Deutsche Bundestag seinen Sitz hat, und das Band des Bundes im Spreebogen mit Bundeskanzleramt sowie den Abgeordnetenbüros und Sitzungssälen des Bundestages im Paul-Löbe-Haus und im Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus.
Visited Burnham Prairie Sunday before the storms and saw that the pair of snowy egrets are still there. They usually hang back, barely visible from the entrance road but after ten minutes or so they both flew in much closer in a nearby marshy area.
They only stayed for a few minutes and quickly flew back to their original positions but I was lucky enough to get a few shots. One thing I did notice when they were wading through the water looking for food, they would shimmy their feet as walked along, i'm guessing to stir up some food from the mud? I thought that was interesting as I never seen great egrets or herons do that before.
Ein überraschender Besuch (Katze von einem Nachbarn) vor dem Küchenfenster, leider, jetzt weiß ich warum das Vogelhaus so schlecht besucht ist und die Eichkätzchen schon lange nicht da waren !!

A surprise visit (a neighbor's cat) in front of the kitchen window, unfortunately, now I know why the bird house is so poorly attended and the squirrels haven't been there for a long time!!
Santillana del Mar. Cantabria.Spain.
Se encuentra en la costa occidental de Cantabria, comarca de la que es su extremo este.
La villa fue declarada conjunto histórico-artístico en 1889.3 En sus inmediaciones se encuentra la cueva de Altamira, protegida como Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Es uno de los pueblos más turísticos y más visitados de Cantabria, siendo una parada imprescindible para los turistas que visitan la región. Esto ha hecho que gran parte de los habitantes del municipio vivan de la actividad turística, especialmente de la hostelería, los alojamientos rurales y las tiendas de productos típicos.
Desde julio de 2013, Santillana del Mar forma parte de la red Los pueblos más bonitos de España. (Fuente Wikipedia)

The Bald River Falls is one of my favorite places. I try to make it there at least once a year, though I’ve not made it yet this year. This is a shot from last year, and perhaps gives you some idea why I like the place so well.
