A small attractive looking fly that can be seen in the UK from May to September around ponds and wet lands. The male certainly has to work hard to attract a female, the male will start of by doing wing waving and then hovering in front of the female followed an areal display by which the male will make a circle arc around one side of the area and then fly over the female rotating 180 degrees. Females much prefer to mate with larger males and if not interested in the male the female will terminate the courtship by flying away. Who said romance was dead.

This photograph was taken at Lower Seletar Reservoir, looking from the Heritage Bridge towards Orchid Country Club. It was a calm morning, with mirror-like reflections in the reservoir. A number of golden sun beams and attractive cloud-lets were reflected wonderfully in the reservoir..

 

Best wishes for the new week!

HOW DO I BECOME A CHRISTIAN?

Being a Christian is about a relationship with Jesus Christ, the only Son of the living God, who died in our place, to pay for our sin. He desires to welcome you into God's family here on earth and into heaven when you die.

To start this relationship, simply pray the prayer below, if you mean it, he'll respond, because the Bible says that God looks at our hearts.

"Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness.

I believe that Jesus shed his precious blood and died for my sin.

I am willing to turn away from my sin.

I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Saviour.! "

Small attractive Insect (10-11 mm). Head and thorax are green or blue with a bright metallic sheen.. Abdomen is also shiny and metallic, and is ruby-red.

One of several bright coloured members of the Chrysididae family, sometimes called the cuckoo wasp.It lays eggs in the cells of solitay wasps or bees, where its larva feeds on the host's larva.

 

Spotted this little beauty on my daily garden safari😀

   

An attractive autumn scene, with a carpet of mainly ginkgo leaves covering the steep slope of the Dell. The Great Dell is an old, wooded, sunken stone quarry located next to the Botanical Gardens in Royal Victoria Park. Some of the trees in the Dell were planted before the park opened in 1840, with more trees added later. Today, this area boasts an attractive collection of mature coniferous and deciduous trees - a small arboretum in its own right. Bath, BANES, Somerset, England, UK.

 

Thank you all for your visits, favours and comments, much appreciated.

During courtship/bonding in the breeding season, male bee-eaters offer insect 'snacks' to females. Here on the branch are two males, left and middle (with the dragonfly) and the female to the right. Bothe sexes are alike with this species but females can often be separated from males by body size...but not always.

 

These migratory birds can be found as far north as Finland and as far south as South Africa, extending east into some Asiatic countries too. Most commonly, European Bee-eaters will breed and nest in southern Europe, then migrate south during autumn and winter.

 

European bee-eaters live for five to six years. The difficulties of migration and avoiding predators along the way affect every bird. Bee-eaters today also find it harder to find food, as there are fewer insects around as a result of pesticides.

The Marbled White is a distinctive and attractive black and white butterfly, unlikely to be mistaken for any other species. In July it flies in areas of unimproved grassland and can occur in large numbers on southern downland. It shows a marked preference for purple flowers such as Wild Marjoram, Field Scabious, thistles, and knapweeds. Adults may be found roosting halfway down tall grass stems.

 

Found in flowery grassland but may stray into gardens. This species is widespread in southern Britain and has expanded northwards and eastwards over the last twenty years, despite some losses within its range, with outlying populations in Yorkshire and SW Wales.

 

Red Fescue (Festuca rubra) is thought to be essential in the diet of larvae but Sheep's-fescue (F. ovina), Yorkshire-fog (Holcus lanatus), and Tor-grass (Brachypodium pinnatum) are also eaten. It is thought that several other grasses may be used, but the full range is not known.

Walk through the main square and past the right of the tower and go up and to the left brings you to some beautiful views of Siena.

Attractive chunky hawk of marshes and wetlands. Usually seen perched quietly near water, waiting to swoop down and snatch fish or frogs. Adult is distinctive, with mostly orange plumage and a whitish head (black collar is often hard to see). Immature is brownish overall, duller than the adult, but with a similar pattern. Note rather pale, dull pinkish legs and feet (yellow or orange on most other hawks). In flight looks very broad winged and short tailed.

Syzygium is a genus of flowering plants that belongs to the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. The genus comprises about 1200–1800 species, and has a native range that extends from Africa and Madagascar through southern Asia east through the Pacific. Its highest levels of diversity occur from Malaysia to northeastern Australia, where many species are very poorly known and many more have not been described taxonomically. Cascade is a beautiful mid sized shrub with mid-sized glossy apple green leaves with attractive red and pink new growth. Spectacular pink powder-puff flowers in summer are followed by pinkish fruits that are edible and attract birds. 32933

Hello

 

Having indicated I wasn’t going to title this shot my good Flickr friend Ela came up with a solution.

 

If you scroll down to her comment, she has kindly also put in a link to a performance by Sting and Rufus Wainwright.....

 

I am grateful for your input Ela. Thank you very much.

 

Thanks for visiting.

 

Have a good day out there.....

Have a beautiful day, everyone...

Attractive terraced properties that overlook Clifton Down, on a cold bright November Autumn Day.

After two days of very heavy rain and then a rather cold night, I was surprised that the Nerine bowdenii plants are still attractive in my garden.

An attractive pattern formed by this spendid looking fern on a stone wall in the car park. Common Maidenhair Spleenwort (Science name: Asplenium trichomanes). The Grizedale Forest Park, Lake District, Cumbria, England

The Tri-colored Heron created this "Attractive Splash" and I was lucky enough to capture it.

Attractive, perky warbler found in humid lowlands and foothills of Central and northern South America. Favors dense understory in forest and edge. Usually in pairs or small groups which hop around low in brush. Rather stout-billed. Also note white eyebrow, rusty cap and cheeks, and yellow underparts. Listen for high-pitched sputtering song. Once considered conspecific with Rufous-capped Warbler.

Attractive reflections at this lovely spot.

Mit einem sehr schönen und zur Lok guten Kontrast bietenden Containerzug nach Wolfurt war die damals nagelneu beklebte 186 941 "Attracktive Forces" der LTE unterwegs. Kurz vor erreichen des Bahnhofes Treuchtlingen, konnte der Zug in einer kleinen Sonnelücke von den 3 Fotografen festgehalten werden.

A pair of red-whiskered bulbul (pycnonotus jocosus) make an attractive couple in close proximity on this gnarled tree limb. Photographed in Trou D'Eau Douce, Mauritius.

The attractive orange foliage with red tips of this easy-care bromeliad is a perfect background for the brilliant, springtime flower stalk, which emerges from the tight center rosette of leaves. The flower stalk is composed of a cluster of red and yellow showy bracts. It is the long-lasting bracts that are most noticeable. They can be used as cut flowers indoors for a period of weeks.

The province of Nan is located in the north of Thailand and borders Laos. It is one of the lesser known provinces of Thailand, but is known for its natural beauty, rich culture and ancient history. It's a great place to visit if you're looking for adventure and relaxation in nature. Road 1256 passes through the mountains of Nan and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding nature. Almost the most beautiful road in Thailand, the view on the side of the road is very beautiful, if you go during the rainy season, the atmosphere will be very good. You can see the green along the two sides of the road on the ridge. In some parts you can see the beautiful view of rice fields over the hills. It may be overgrown on some parts of the road. There are several interesting sights and activities to enjoy along the way. It's great for bird watching, camping, and hiking, and you're unlikely to meet many other people while exploring. You can also visit the Doi Phu Kha National Park, which is known for its beautiful lush forests and spectacular views. Sapan Waterfall is a beautiful waterfall surrounded by lush green mountains and lush natural landscapes. The waterfall is located deep in the mountains and is surrounded by lush tropical jungle, making for an enchanting landscape. To reach the waterfall, you must follow a path that winds through the lush jungle. It can be an adventurous journey, but the reward of reaching the waterfall is totally worth it. Along the way, enjoy the region's abundant flora and fauna, including exotic birds, reptiles, and wildlife. We encountered a Blue Crested Lizard on a tree in the undergrowth.

 

The Blue-Crested Lizard, also known as Calotes mystaceus, is a species of Dragon lizard that is found in province Nan of Thailand. As the name suggests, the Blue-Crested Lizard has a vibrant blue-colored crest on its head, which is more prominent in males. The rest of its body is usually green or brown, providing excellent camouflage among the vegetation. It has a slender and agile body, growing to an average length of around 30 to 40 centimeters, with the tail being longer than the body. These lizards are primarily arboreal, meaning they spend much of their time in trees and shrubs. They have strong limbs with sharp claws that enable them to climb and cling onto branches. They are also proficient jumpers and can swiftly move between trees. Blue-Crested Lizards are active during the day. They primarily feed on insects, such as crickets, grasshoppers, and beetles, but they may also consume small fruits and flowers. In Thailand, the Blue-Crested Lizard can be found in a variety of habitats, including forests, gardens, agricultural areas, and urban green spaces. It is a common and widely distributed species, often encountered by locals. Observing the vibrant blue crest and the agile movements of the Blue-Crested Lizard can be an exciting experience for nature enthusiasts and reptile lovers. However, it's important to remember that these lizards are wild animals, and it's best to admire them from a distance without disturbing their natural behavior.

 

De provincie Nan is gelegen in het noorden van Thailand en grenst aan Laos. Het is één van de minder bekende provincies van Thailand, maar staat bekend om zijn natuurlijke schoonheid. Je kunt ook een bezoek brengen aan de Doi Phu Kha National Park, dat bekend staat om zijn prachtige watervallen, weelderige bossen en spectaculaire uitzichten. Sapan waterval ligt diep in de bergen en wordt omgeven door weelderige tropische jungle, wat zorgt voor een betoverend landschap. Om de waterval te bereiken, moet je een pad volgen dat door de weelderige jungle slingert. Het kan een avontuurlijke reis zijn, maar de beloning van het bereiken van de waterval is het absoluut waard. Geniet onderweg van de overvloedige flora en fauna van de regio, waaronder exotische vogels, reptielen en dieren in het wild. We kwamen een blauwkuifhagedis tegen op een boom in het struikgewas. Zoals de naam al doet vermoeden, heeft de blauwkuifhagedis een levendige blauwgekleurde kuif op zijn kop, die prominenter aanwezig is bij mannetjes. De rest van zijn lichaam is meestal groen of bruin en biedt een uitstekende camouflage tussen de vegetatie. Het heeft een slank en behendig lichaam, groeit tot een gemiddelde lengte van ongeveer 30 tot 40 centimeter, waarbij de staart langer is dan het lichaam. Deze hagedissen zijn voornamelijk in bomen, wat betekent dat ze een groot deel van hun tijd in bomen en struiken doorbrengen. Ze hebben sterke ledematen met scherpe klauwen waarmee ze kunnen klimmen en zich aan takken kunnen vastklampen. Het zijn ook bekwame springers en kunnen snel tussen bomen bewegen. Blauwkuifhagedissen zijn overdag actief. Ze voeden zich voornamelijk met insecten, zoals krekels, sprinkhanen en kevers, maar ze kunnen ook klein fruit en bloemen eten.
