Violet-capped Woodnymph - Male - these hummingbirds inhabit a wide range of habitats from untouched forests, to scrub, to suburban and city gardens. They gather nectar from both native and non-native flowers and also hunt for insects. During certain parts of the year, Violet-capped Woodnymphs migrate short distances. Males have a bluish violet cap and sparkle with dark green above and gold-green below. Females are dark greenish above and off-white below. During the breeding season, these woodnymphs adorn the outside of their nests with ferns and lichen. This photo was taken at Trilha Dos Tucanos.

Happy Wednesday! HBW!

Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Burger's Zoo Breedsnuitkaaiman

Kaaimannen en alligators zijn familie van krokodillen. De nauwste familie in het dierenrijk van kaaimannen, alligators en krokodillen waren echter de dinosaurussen!

Kaaimannen liggen vaak stil in het water. Ze wachten rustig af tot een prooidier dichtbij komt en slaan dan snel toe.

Het is een soort die ongeveer 3 meter lang kan worden. De naam is gekozen omdat zijn snuit breed en stomp is. De oren, de neusgaten en de ogen zitten bovenaan op de kop. Zo kunnen prooien makkelijk benaderd worden vanuit het water. Op de rug zitten benige randen die tot aan de staart lopen.

I absolutely love to photograph the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts building in Kansas City, Missouri. On this rainy stormy evening, I was scoping out some new compositions and spotted this view. The reflection was wonderful but the way the tree limb curves back into the center of the frame was just icing on the cake for me.

I was walking in the Botanic Garden when I heard a very loud scream, truly scandalous, and I observed this Fluvicola Nengeta, on a plate with instructions not to feed the animals of the lake. It was a fun scene, because the bird was shaking its wings frantically as if drawing attention to himself. Later I found out it was a mating ritual. Unfortunately for him, at that moment, only I was nearby...

Something caught the attention of this bald eagle. I never learned what it was, however.

Thank you, Attention Magazine and Athena, for having my photo in the June 2021 issue.

The percentage of clicking at the right time for a collision between two hummingbirds might be greater then winning the lottery. When they are not taking care of their young, it seems that they fight all the time.

il y a de la triche ;o)

It’s a very strange feeling when an 800lb Apex Predator diverts it’s attention from a Salmon to You!! 😳

The center of your attention is whatever you choose.

Today, Mothers are front and center. Being a Mom carries a lot of weight. It is a blessing, but can feel like a burden at times. Both burdens and blessing are heavy. A blessing carries the weight of resposibility.

I would encourage every woman to be a blessing to others by stepping up to be a mother figure to whoever needs one.

A good woman is a blessing.

A good man is a blessing.

A good daughter is a blessing.

A good son is a blessing.

A good friend is a blessing.

Be blessings to one another not burdens.

Thank you all for your kind favs and comments. YOU are a blessing!

Happy Mother's Day!
