It was pouring down relentless sheets of rain and a small group of band-tails landed in the buckeye. As the rain got even harder several of these native birds began to raise and open their wings fully to take in the opportunity for a complete bath....it was a truly remarkable sight to see this behavior in a complete downpour up in the trees on the greyest of winter days
many thanks for stopping by to visit and share....risa
In 2006 I had two times the opportunity to migrate into the valley of the Havasupai Indians and see this magnificent waterfall and take pictures of course. Unfortunately, destroyed a flood in 2008 a part of the beautiful lime sinter terraces .
The Havasupai Indians are also called "the people of the blue-green water". Blue-green has been the water the day before. In the night, however, it had rained heavily in the mountains, so that in the early morning a red-brown muddy broth rolled into the valley, probably a not-often-seen drama.
Unfortunately, a strong wind blew, so a fine spray of dirty water dyed everything including the camera.
In 2006 hatte ich zwei mal die Gelegenheit, in das Tal der Havasupai Indianer zu wandern und diesen großartigen Wasserfall zu sehen und natürlich zu fotografieren. Leider zerstörte eine Flut im Jahr 2008 einen Teil der schönen Kalk-Sinter-Terrassen.
Die Havasupai Indianer werden auch "die Leute vom blaugrünen Wasser" genannt. Blau-grün ist das Wasser auch am Tag vorher gewesen. In der Nacht hatte es jedoch in den Bergen stark geregnet, so dass sich am frühen Morgen überraschend eine rot-braune schlammige Brühe in das Tal wälzte, vermutlich ein nicht oft gesehenes Schauspiel.
Leider wehte ein starker Wind, weshalb sich ein feiner Sprühnebel des schmutzigen Wassers auf alles einschliesslich der Kamera legte.

It was a fantastic walk through the Sigmund-Thun Klamm and round the Klammsee. In the background you can see the glacier Kitzsteinhorn.
The Klammsee is a reservoir and is located in the municipality of Kaprun in Salzburg in Austria.
The Klammsee is an underground storage with a volume of 200,000 m³ and part of the power station Kaprun. The dam Bürgsperre with a height of 19 m accumulates the Kaprun Ache.

This photograph was taken at blue hour near Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay. Some of the landmarks in the photograph included (from left) ArtScience Museum, Marina Bay Sands, Marina Bay Financial Centre and Jubilee Bridge.
The captivating clouds and colourful reflections of the lit landmarks provided complementary interests to the Bay.
Best wishes for a great weekend!
I was delighted to spot this Handsome Visitor to my garden this morning. I checked the Birder Book and came to the conclusion that this fine fellow is a male Nuttall's Woodpecker, but I could be wrong. If anyone has a better handle on the name of this bird, let me know and I’ll correct the identification.
The Nuttall's Woodpecker is a small woodpecker with a chisel-shaped bill. It has a small rounded head, a flat back, and an elongated appearance.
Nuttall's Woodpeckers are black-and-white striped birds. Males have a red patch on the back of their heads and both sexes have 2 narrow white stripes across their cheeks. The back has narrow black-and-white horizontal bars with a solid black patch on the upper back. The underparts are whitish with spotting and barring on the flanks. Juveniles have more grayish or buffy underparts than adults, and juveniles of both sexes have some red on the crown.
Nuttall's Woodpeckers probe and pick insects out of crevices in tree trunks, branches, and twigs. They circle branches and twigs while foraging, sometimes
Nuttall's Woodpeckers live in oak woodlands year-round. They also use wooded suburban areas and woodlands near streams with cottonwoods, willows, and sycamores. Perching across the branch, balancing with their wings instead of leaning against their tails.

I was absolutely delighted to see this Kestrel sitting on the wall of the Villa we were in when I looked up from my book. Thankfully my camera was at my side!

There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,
The earth, and every common sight
To me did seem
Apparelled in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.

I think these are painted turtles; if I'm wrong, please correct me.

Thanks for your visit and comments, much appreciated!🙋♀️
Could not resist to preserve this arrangement. It was cold outside and these chairs are metal, so no point in hanging around for anyone to sit down. One day I´ll start shooting pictures with people in them. What else is there that is interesting really?
I was sorting out my archive and I came across this image. This was taken in the Adelaide Botanical Gardens 2021.

Peaceful Sunday
This photograph was taken from the North embankment of Lower Seletar Reservoir looking towards the Orchid Country Club and Heritage Bridge. The differently shaped stone blocks of the embankment could be seen in the foreground. The colourful cloud formations were reflected by the mirror-like surface of the reservoir.
I was looking through some old images and this one caught my eye. I love the mysteries of Maine's landscape and felt compelled to post this one:)
USS Texas (BB-35) was an New York-class battleship that was commissioned into the U.S. Navy in 1914. After taking part in the American occupation of Veracruz later that year, Texas saw service in British waters during World War I. Modernized in the 1920s, the battleship was still in the fleet when the United States entered World War II following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. After performing convoy duty in the Atlantic, Texas took part in the invasion of Normandy in June 1944 and the landings in southern France later that summer. The battleship was transferred to the Pacific in November 1944 and aided in the final campaigns against the Japanese, including the invasion of Okinawa. Retired after the war, it is presently a museum ship undergoing major repairs in Galveston, Texas.

He was born 30 December 1869 at Swanmore, county of Hampshire, England.
In 1876 he emigrated to Canada with his family and settled on a farm near the hamlet of Egypt, south of Sibbald Point on Lake Simcoe.
Leacock was educated at Upper Canada College, Toronto. He completed a degree in modern languages at the University of Toronto in 1891.
Inspired by Thorstein Veblen’s The Theory of the Leisure Class, he enrolled at the University of Chicago, receiving a Ph.D. in political economy and political science under Veblen in 1903.
It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.

Foto wurde durch meine Frau aufgenommen, mit ihrer Ausrüstung -Canon 100-400 L IS II USM, Canon EOS80D - Im Eberswalder Zoo ist es immer eine Herausforderug gute Fotos zu machen, Viele hohe Bäume erschweren das Fotografieren, aber bei hohen Temeraturen ist es dort auszuhalten
This was taken in the wonderful Compton Acres gardens, Poole, Dorset. A most unusual colour & so striking when seen en masse.

I was shooting the Hooded Orioles in the yard from inside. I noticed an Anna's on a flower right in front of me. I didn't have the right settings for this but I was so happy to see they love these flowers! Can't wait for more opportunities...especially when the plants get bigger!
There was a "dead calm" in the early morning at Merritt Island National Wildlife Reserve. A slight mist was burning off, and the air was still. I learned that these conditions are perfect for no-see-ums and other nasty biting insects to rise up and feed voraciously (on me) ; -))
The mangroves were mini-islands in this picture, and a large mixed flock of birds were in distance.
Merritt Island NWR and Canaveral National Seashore are a vast natural area (over 140,000 acres) that serve as a "buffer zone" for the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island. Much of the NWR and seashore are closed during rocket launches. This NWR provides an important sanctuary for migrating birds, and for several endangered plants and animals.

Tobermory was built as a fishing port in the late 18th century and is now the main town on Mull. It is a picture-postcard of a place with the brightly painted buildings along the main street to the pier and the high woodland-fringed hills surrounding the bay.
