New South Wales Christmas Bush (Ceratopetalum gummiferum) is native to the east Australian coast and Papua New Guinea. It was noted in the early days of European conquest. It sheds its petals and then its sepals continue grow larger and a brighter red around December. I do not know its indigenous name(s.) It is likely to have several names given its wide distribution across language groups.
Apparently this guy's GPS sent it the wrong way. So this Juvenile Brown Pelican is making the best of it by fishing and hanging around the docks at the Nockamixon State Park, Quakertown, PA. Hopefully it will fix the GPS and fly back to all it's friends.
Where I am
naked and alone
Exposed
skin scratched raw from the world
Only escape is in dreams
until it all seeps back in
gripping me tight
shredding me a little longer
No matter how hard I try
I end up here
Where I am

Or where my lunch is?
These tame and beautiful birds come to my balcony every day and always get corn for lunch. In the following picture you can see a pair of these beautiful birds eating.
Be well and safe.
Thank you for taking the time to look.

During the winter months, especially, you can often find birds at the feeders. That was the case with this White-breasted Nuthatch. It had snatched a seed and was flying away when this shot was taken, either to consume the seed or to hide it somewhere to eat later, which they are known to do. Not long after this shot was taken, it was back for more.
Happy Wing Wednesday
It's early evening and these two (of three) cheetah cubs are anxiously looking for their mother after getting separated from her. She had given up on a hunt and the opportunistic youngsters had gone after the wildebeest.
It was magic to spend time with them as they called for her from right next to our vehicle. What was amazing was that the cubs had stayed together and had supported each other while they waited for her to return their calls. There were four vehicles at the sighting and all occupants breathed a sigh of relief when mom finally answered and the cubs rushed off in search of her. Though they had not eaten, they would be safe that night.
The camera does not give a proper impression of the size of these youngsters, or any cheetah for that matter. The females, especially, are actually very small. Females typically reach 67cm (26 in) at the shoulder, and adult females weigh approximately 21kg (46 lb). Their heads are small and round, much smaller than that of a male. In this image the difference is already apparent, the cheetah cub at the back is a male.
We had the opportunity to see this mother and her cubs up close on a number of days during our visit, and have a deep appreciation for the hard work and dedication that go into raising a cub to adulthood. In Kgalagadi cubs disperse when they are around 19 months. With a litter of three, this mom - at 11 years of age (she was born in March 2011) she is one of the oldest females in the park - has to kill daily to feed her cubs. Easy when there are lots of springbokkies in the riverbed, but they were few and far between during our visit.
The morning after this image was taken we followed mom and cubs for 16km before they found springbuck and she succeeded in making a kill.

One of the twin whitetail fawns waiting for the rest of the family to join him. Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
By no means is the quality of this image great. It lacks sharpness and detail, amongst other things. However, I couldn't resist sharing it as I feel it's a once in a lifetime shot. A tiny jumper positioned so perfectly, resting itself between my arm hair. Comparing it to the follicles of hair, you see just how small this spider is. This picture was taken with my phone + a DIY lens.
As well as being the diminutive form of the name Walter or Wallace, the term wally is also another word for fool. Can you spot him in this photo? :-)
Where one can discover the illuminated splendor of Lahore Fort and Huzoori Bagh with the History by Night tour by the Walled City of Lahore Authority. Where history dances under the stars.
An enchanting and mesmerizing tour to Mughal era, like traveling in a time machine to the court of Emperor Akbar where a captivating saga of grandeur and magnificence unfolded. Renowned for their refined tastes and opulent lifestyles, the Mughal emperors orchestrated nightly spectacles that went far beyond the ordinary, embracing the extraordinary with unparalleled finesse. For the Mughals, the shroud of darkness wasn’t merely an absence of light; it served as a canvas upon which they painted a vibrant tapestry of extravagant entertainment, a testament to their sophisticated sensibilities and profound love for the arts. Immersed in a rich fusion of art, music, dance, and culinary brilliance, these imperial evenings not only dispelled the shadows but also left an enduring imprint on the pages of history.
