A morning scene in the Broekpolder, Vlaardingen.
The sheep are happily grazing in this amazing maze, which is part of a recently developed playground named Klauterwoud (roughly translates as "climbing forest").
Happy Fence Friday :-)

I love a rainy night.
I love a rainy night.
I love to hear the thunder,
Watch the lightnin' when it lights up the skies.
You know it makes me feel good.
I love a rainy night,
It's such a beautiful sight.
I love to feel the rain on my face,
Taste the rain on my lips,
In the moonlight shadow.
Showers wash all of my cares away.
I wake up to a sunny day...

After a stroll through Les Jardines Tuileries, this is the view that greeted us as we crossed the River Seine. We didn't make it all the way to La Tour Eiffel this time but this view was good enough for me!

To walk a delicate path,
along a transient moment in time,
realization that but a soft breath,
delivers the unfortunate fateful blow,
igniting the autumn fire within,
sealing ones fate along that ever delicate path.
Following the dew drops along this beautiful Autumn morning rose leaf. The third photo from the "Autumn Inspirations I" series.
Thanks for the favs and kind compliments!
I am not a bird photographer, and never will be. I don't have the patience to stand around and wait. That said, I was out in my back yard in the snow with my camera. I had my macro lens on my camera, shooting close up tulips in the snow, etc. and suddenly saw this woodpecker in a tree. What could I do with a macro lens? Well, apparently, quite a bit, seeing as he stayed still, except for all the pecking he did. I took a couple of shots, then moved closer....and so on. I noticed he'd pecked holes all the way around the tree and started a new row, and the sap was running out. No wonder he's called a redbreasted sapsucker. I had to crop the image quite a bit to get him large enough.
No, this is not going to make me want to photograph birds :) Just if they come to me.

Armonía en la mañana, esos tonos dorados…. Grandes sensaciones de equilibrio.
Muchas gracias a todos, que tengáis un buen día!
The Green heron is a small solitary heron that lives along shaded riverbanks or quiet streams in areas of dense vegetation. It is often somewhat secretive but is sometimes to be seen crying "kyow" while flying up a creek. When in the open, it will often flick its short tail nervously, while raising and lowering its crest. The "green" of its back is an iridescence, and often appears as a dull blue or just dark.
Although they are quite common, Green herons are shy and so are not often observed. Their active period is during the day and they nest within their feeding areas. To catch fish they either stand in the water or perch low above the water, watching for prey, or they track it down. Occasionally they will swim after prey. They will retract their neck, holding their bill downwards aiming at a fish, take a few cautious steps and stab their prey with their bill. They feed either alone or as a pair. When threatened, alarmed or aggressive, Green herons raise their crest, hold their neck still and flutter their tail. They are territorial and do not tolerate intrusions. They attack intruders on sight, flying towards them, making a loud and guttural repetitive "annnck-annnnck". This call is also repeated as an alarm.
The Green heron uses tools, being one of the few bird species to do so. It drops objects such as bread crusts, twigs, insects, earthworms, and feathers on the water’s surface to attract small fish.
I found this one along Peavine Road in Osceola County, Florida.

Things will turn out right
A view of the lower section of Glacier Park's Swiftcurrent Falls taken on a cloudy autumn day. This channel really roars with a torrent of water earlier in the year, slow flow now. I also liked the autumn colors and varied textures around it. Heavy rain soon arrived.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

A Clockwork Orange is a part of a creative series of butterfly images. This one was created from images licensed from Shutterstock. The concept and creative work is mine, and the title comes from the film of the same name. This image turned out to be a study in combining colors as well.

Desde Santiago de Compostela tomamos el camino a Orense y disfrutamos de paso del paisaje gallego. Nos encontramos con este mirador de Guillade donde textualmente decía el panel informativo “Punto situado entre A Cañiza e Filgueira “. Es éste el Mirador de Guillade, paraje perteneciente al concello de Crecente parroquia de Filgueira. Desde este lugar el visitante disfrutará de una panorámica espectacular de indudable belleza que son los meandros del rio MIño, en su fluir hacia el Océano Atlántico. A la derecha la villa termal ourensana de Cortegada de Baños asomando entre la vegetación , el puente sobre el Miño, en el límite entre las provincias de Pontevedra y Ourense…el puente del ferrocarril y al fondo la via que surca la ribera del MIño.

Caught a lovely scene with kites cross crossing the sky against a beautiful sky and treeline. The seemed so foreign to the sky and i nearly cropped them out but it made for a lovely distraction as they glided back and forth into the frame I decided they had to stay!. Apparently the kite is an ancient device that is believed to have been invented in China by two philosophers in the fifth century B.C. named Mo Di and Luc Ban.

A male banded demoiselle damselfly, Calopteryx splendens. Taken at the National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire, England at Watersmeet, the junction of the rivers, Trent and Thame. I think it is a young male as its wing colouration is not very bright.
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate the kind comments and faves very much.
This is the seed stage of that horrendous Borage plant that's in my front garden. Be careful when handling these, not sure if I mentioned this before but I am allergic to the fluid in the spines, causing dermatitis and apparently it's relatively common, however that said it's a very photogenic plant when you explore it fully and a treasure for macro such as this.
I trust everyone has a great weekend and so as always, thank you! :)

Savannah sparrows breed in Alaska, Canada, northern, central, and Pacific coastal United States, Mexico, and Guatemala. The Pacific and Mexican breeders are resident, but other populations are migratory, wintering from the southern United States across Central America and the Caribbean to northern South America. These birds inhabit open grasslands, tundra, shrub land, meadows, wetlands, and agricultural fields. They can also be found on beaches, sand dunes, salt marshes, and estuaries.
Savannah sparrows are social birds and typically spend time in pairs or family groups in the breeding season. However, before the winter migration, they assemble in large flocks and become very energetic and noisy. Their flight call is a thin 'seep' and the song is a mixture of 'chirps' and trills. Savannah sparrows are diurnal; they forage by day on the ground or in low bushes. Particularly in winter, they can also be found in grazed low-growth grassland. They feed by walking along the ground and occasionally run or hop to snatch their prey. They will also make short flights to catch insects in mid-air.
Found this Winter visitor along Joe Overstreet Road, in Osceola County, Florida.
