and never give up ! This is the most photographed tree in Sutton Park. It looks dead, but no, one part of it sprouts new leaves every spring. It won't give up ! I think it's wonderful ! So do many others - it is well protected at the base, as you can see.
Taken on Christmas Day, 2017 and edited in Topaz Studio. Thank you so much, as always, for your lovely comments and faves, I so appreciate it. I hope this gives you inspiration in life. January is a cold grey month, but the sky is often wonderful. Everything seems so dead in the midst of winter, but not if we stop and look again.
When the spring comes, I will take another photo of this old oak and let you see the leaves !
Another capture from close to Pordoi: some dramatic sun rays lighten up the clouds along the Langkofel group. Towards Pordoi and Arabba, things turned as well into drama, as clouds as black they could appear moved quickly towards our view point. I had to water protect all my photogear well inside my poor weather protected vehicle...good that exiting the cars typically happen in a well protected garage :-). Stay healthy and safe, 2 more days to reach weekend. Thanks, Udo.
Male... a very common and well protected species in Iceland...
Hello, dear friends! I hope you are all very well!
Here I am, back after my long vacation in Iceland and a few days of rest. I was really needing to rest, because the cold and humidity in Iceland gave me some really hard time, my skeleton didn't like it at all. Thank God, since I arrived to Portugal, with the heat and the treatments, I'm feeling much better.
But I LOVED Iceland, it's a wonderful country with fantastic landscapes, lovely people and a beautiful fauna, it really deserves a long visit, and I must go there again, to see the northern lights, because this wasn't the ideal time to see them. There was daylight all the time.

The good harbor conditions are largely natural and the warm and easily accessible harbor conditions in the area combined with the proximity to the Skagerrak made the harbor, first at Flekkerøy, then further into the fjord important already more than 500 years ago. The harbor is very well protected from wind and normally has tidal differences of + / ÷ 10 cm. The first fortifications were built in the 16th century and the naval station for the Danish / Norwegian galley fleet on Lagmannsholmen in the western harbor from the 1680s until 1750. In 1804, a quarantine station for shipping in Denmark, Norway and Holstein was built in the harbor. It was operated until 1814. From 1827, Kristiansand was the last port of call for the postal route from Christiania with the DS "Constitutionen" along the coast via Fredriksvern. In 1872, a ferry connection was established between Kristiansand and Fredrikshavn with DS «Frithjof». From 1897, the Armed Forces had a naval base and warehouse in Marvika. This facility has in recent years been used as a base for deepwater testing of submarines from Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW).
* We have stayed in Wimereux several times usually at the beginning or the end of a longer holiday . On this occasion we had two days there so we could explore the area a little more . Between Wimereux and the small settlement at Ambleteuse is a very interesting area of very established and impressive sand dunes. The dunes are well protected but there is a designated path so you can view them. I will post a shot or two of the Dunes at some point Eventually you arrive on the beach of the Baie de Slack . This shot was taken looking north towards Ambleteuse. One interesting detail in the seventeenth century fort built to defend the River Slack estuary
Fort d'Ambleteuse is a sea fort by the commune of Ambleteuse .The fort was built at the end of the 17th century by the military architect Vauban on the orders of Louis XIV to defend the port in the estuary of the Slack. It was designated a Monument historique in the 1960s.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
Stórhöfði is the southernmost place in Heimaey island and one of the windiest places in Iceland. The place is also famous for the large numbers of puffins arriving every year to nest and breed there. There is also a puffin lookout on Stórhöfði where you can protect yourself from the wind and observe the puffins. This time, however, I've chosen this wooly family as model :)

Ejemplar juvenil, acaba de ser alimentado por su padre, y espera mas. Bien protegido en un arbusto denso y espinoso.😢
Juvenile specimen, has just been fed by his father, and expects more.
Well protected in a dense and thorny bush
Many Lofoten visitors will agree that Nusfjord is one of the most beautiful places of the Lofoten. Like many other places, it has been a locally important fishing port for centuries. No wonder, because the picturesque Nusfjord has a well protected natural harbour. Fishermen used to find space in the 50 or so traditional Rorbuer during the seasonal cod ride, today every year thousands of tourists enjoy the beautiful landscape, the picturesque place with its buildings from the late 19th and early 20th century, the changeable weather and the sea.
Female Bonelli's Eagle plucking the Rabbit in the spanish mountains. It's a great privelege to observe and photograph these powerful birds. Lets make sure that the habitat and the birds are well protected.
Taken at the Belmont Slough in Redwood Shores. I never see the goslings snatched by the night heron because their parents keep a close tab on them and fight off the heron.
Despite being well away from the barrier rope at Dingle Marshes, Dunwich, this Oystercatcher came towards me under the rope to scold me for being there. Some distance away its mate, with chick, was well protected!
Thank you all for your kind responses.
Dettifoss is fed by the powerful glacier river Jökulsá á Fjöllum which flows from the largest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull. The thunderous falls has an average waterflow of 193 metres cubed per second (6,186 cubic feet). It is 100 metres (330 feet) wide and plummets 45 metres (150 feet) down into Jökulsárgljúfur canyon.
This canyon is in the northern part of the greater Vatnajökull National Park, the largest national park in the country, thus Dettifoss is well protected.
Assisi, città di Pace e Fratellanza.
La basilica di San Francesco si trova ad Assisi, è il luogo che dal 1230 conserva e custodisce le spoglie mortali del santo.
La basilica è formata da due chiese sovrapposte, legate a due diverse fasi costruttive: la prima legata al romanico umbro, di derivazione lombarda, la seconda legata al gotico di matrice francese. Straordinario è, in entrambi i casi, l'apparato decorativo interno.
Bene protetto dall'UNESCO Patrimonio dell'umanità, la basilica di San Francesco venne costruita sotto la direzione di frate Elia, vicario generale e architetto dell'ordine, a partire dal 1228, appena due anni dopo la morte del santo, come luogo destinato ad accoglierne le spoglie.
La prima pietra venne posta dal pontefice Gregorio IX il 17 luglio 1228 l'indomani della canonizzazione di san Francesco, nel luogo in cui si eseguivano le esecuzioni capitali e venivano seppelliti i malfattori. Secondo la tradizione lo stesso Francesco, in punto di morte, indicò ai compagni questo come il luogo per la sua sepoltura.
Assisi, city of Peace and Brotherhood.
The Basilica of San Francesco is located in Assisi, is the place that since 1230 preserves and preserves the mortal remains of the saint.
The basilica is formed by two overlapping churches, linked to two different construction phases: the first linked to the Umbrian Romanesque, of Lombard derivation, the second linked to the French Gothic style. In both cases, the interior decoration is extraordinary.
Well protected by UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Basilica of San Francesco was built under the direction of Brother Elia, vicar general and architect of the order, starting from 1228, just two years after the death of the saint, as a place destined to welcome the remains.
The first stone was laid by Pope Gregory IX on 17 July 1228 the day after the canonization of St. Francis, in the place where executions were carried out and the evildoers were buried. According to tradition, Francis himself, at the point of death, indicated to his companions this as the place for his burial.
Kamnik, Slovenia. Well protected against hail which can be quite frequent so close to the mountains. There are even some people picking apples (middle left of the photo).
Alles im grünen Bereich. Gut behütet.

The phrase actually means "everything's rosy in the garden" in English – "everything in the green area" is what they say in German ... It's still rosy here in autumn, the roses are still trying hard, the temperatures are also quite pleasant, it gets darker and therefore cozy, the sun peeks out and the grass still shines in the fresh green – like here under the autumn leaf, which forms a protective roof for the blades of grass after it has sailed down – all a reason to feel good ;-)
///
Eigentlich heißt die Redewendung ja "everything’s rosy in the garden" im Englischen – "alles im grünen Bereich" sagt man in Deutsch ... Rosig ist es jetzt im Herbst hier auch noch, die Rosen geben sich noch richtig viel Mühe, die Temperaturen sind auch noch recht angenehm, es wird dunkler und somit gemütlich, die Sonne luchst hervor und das Gras strahlt noch im frischen Grün – so wie hier unter dem Herbstblatt, das ein schützendes Dach für die Grashalme bildet, nachdem es heruntergesegelt war – alles ein Grund, sich wohl zu fühlen ;-)

Es hat dem kleinen Steinpilz doch nichts genutzt, denn er wurde doch verspeist.
It didn't help the little boletus because it was eaten.

Killdeer are common but this is my first keeper flight shot. For bird nerds, Killdeer is a plover and found pretty much everywhere in Florida. They breed from March to July in ground nests not very well protected other than camouflage. Their numbers increase in winter months when snowbird Killdeers come to Florida to visit their grandparents. (Charadrius vociferus)
This is how it starts in nature. At some point, something big and strong came into being.
So fängt es an in der Natur. Irgendwann ist was grosses und kräftiges entstanden.
Tucson Mountains. This one was watching over her nest which is in the middle of this cactus and well-protected with cholla spines. Not sure how they avoid getting poked.
A narrow gap in the cliffs allows entry into this small, well protected harbour. It has changed over the years, but it is still beautiful, and attracts a lot of tourists (me included).
My model obeys the rules and is well protected in his small house.
For MacroMondays#Natural Shells
Be well, stay at home and Happy Macro Monday!
This started with the female (left) begging the male for food and I think it has to do with keeping her strength up while she is sitting on her eggs and later as she helps feed the young ones the nest is deep within this Blackthorn bush and so is well protected by the wicked thorns .
Villafàfila - Province de Zamora - Espagne
Près du village abandonné d'Otero, une petite colonie de Guêpiers s'est installée.
Grâce à la protection du Parc Naturel de Villafàfila les oiseaux sont bien protégés par des barrières qui interdisent de les approcher.
Aussi nous avons été bien contents que quelques individus viennent se percher sur les bords du chemin et se laissent photographier depuis la voiture.
A small colony of Bee-eaters has settled near the abandoned village of Otero.
Thanks to the protection afforded by the Villafàfila Nature Park,
the birds are well protected by fences that forbid anyone to approach them.
So we were delighted to see a few of them perch on the side of the road and let ourselves be photographed from the car.
This Fly Agaric Fungi was growing under some plants so was well protected so not sure why it had started to fall over! It's stunning red and white colours against the ochres of the dead leaves made for a very appealing image!

Finiki is a coastal settlemennt, built by the local fishermen.
Until 1900 Finiki was the main commercial port of Karpathos. The village is situated in a large natural bay, which means a well protected marina for the smaller boats.
My experience, This is a well-protected area, Not open, or still under construction. This is a private forest play area, The fence is densely arranged with bamboo. The camera lens cannot cross the fence. later, I found the location, There is a bamboo above the fence that is vandalized.😂 For photography enthusiasts, This kind of scenery is very tempting !

我的經驗，這是一個保護良好的地區，不開放，或仍在建設中。 這是一個私人森林遊樂區，圍欄密佈著竹子。 相機鏡頭不能穿過圍欄。 後來，我找到了位置，圍欄上面有一支被破壞的竹子。😂 對於攝影愛好者來說，這樣的風景很誘人！

Fortunately they hate crossing water, so l was well protected by mother nature from this huge Welsh Yeti...Actually it was the largest l've seen in the region for many a long year...a very fine specimen though.
I have a little treat for you all with the next posting...NO...l didn't shot her for all those left wondering.
The entrance to "Woodbrook" on the Balranald Road, Moulamein, NSW.
Moulamein, NSW (ABCTV Victorian viewing area)
This small town in the NSW Southern Riverina is at the junction of two rivers, the Edward River and Billabong Creek both of which have recently experienced severe flooding, the worst for many years, perhaps on record.
Flooding on the vast plains abutting the Murray River in the Riverina and northern Victoria is a slow motion affair often taking weeks to arrive from further upstream, rising slowly and falling slowly. They are no less devastating for that inundating many farms and threading to inundate stream side towns most of which are fairly well protected by levees (but not all of them).
The town of Moulamein has fared better than some in that the town itself has not been flooded but all points of access have been cut off to all but local 4WD vehicles. I was lucky enough to be able to get into town last week with my brother who lives on a farm south of the town doing so in his Toyota HiLux.
Featured here is flooding at the main gate of a property which abuts the Edward River several kilometres out of Moulamein.
After I had captured Matariki ( flic.kr/p/2nvCHUV ) I decided to hang around for a while, enjoying a beautiful still morning at Waikuku overlooking the Ashley Estuary. I was rewarded with the presence of the majestic white heron.
The white heron or kotuku is well-loved by the New Zealand people, but it is rarely seen except by those who specifically seek it out. Its sole New Zealand breeding site near Okarito Lagoon in Westland is well-known and well-protected, but elsewhere it is 'He kotuku rerenga tahi' or the bird of single flight, implying something seen perhaps once in a lifetime. When seen in close proximity it is a magnificent bird, with its large size and clean white plumage.
A large white heron with a long pointed yellow bill, a gape that extends well behind the eye, long dark legs, and a very long neck. In flight, it retracts its head so that the length of its neck is hidden, giving it a hunched appearance.
Most common milkweed seeds disperse in the late fall but these stayed in the pod all winter. They were well protected as they are in pristine condition while the outside of the seedpod is weathered and worn.
While the wind was howling in the tops of the trees this Laughing Kookaburra sat quietly well protected by a hill slope.

A drizzly start of the day for this "Eastern Coyote" but well protected from the elements with that gorgeous winter coat !!
Somehow it seems your secret’ s well protected
And the ghost under your bed so far away
Promises you won’t keep and friends rejected
Another stepping stone you’re using on your way
Now brother for the fun you had
The Devil´s coming and his mood is bad
So so say your prayers your soul to save
His tiptap shoes they will dance on your grave
Just to keep the future from the unexpected
You flip another coin down in the wishing well
another night you spend with puppets disconnected
If nothing else at least you have your soul to sell
Hey brother keep senses clear
A crash is closer than it appear
Fame is a drug, better use it well
You look for heaven but end up in hell
Let me tell you about a man I know
Deep in jungle of new mexico
In the smoke he got his vision clear
Until the day he died and disappeared
Where he's gone no one can ever tell
another coin down in the wishing well
Under the influence, defenses down
You know what goes around comes around
