This very attractive Trillium is infected with a plant disease.
I was excited to see this White-flowered Trillium (Large-flowered Trillium) in Northport, Michigan. I thought it was different species, or variety. Janet (jlst2i) thought it was bacterial disease. Janet was correct.
Phytoplasm (aka Mycoplasma-like bacteria) infects Trillium, and the result is the green stripes in the petals. This is an early symptom. Trillium being a perennial flower, the disease progresses each year until the petals are nearly totally green.
DAZZLINGLY ATTRACTIVE bird, not often seen in our corner of Kent UK, and was not expecting to see it in the Grove Ferry Feast Hide, but what a joy when it landed, he caught a couple of tiddlers and was off, leaving me with the biggest grin ever.

The serene, sunny high valley in the Goms region, in Upper Valais, is famous for its authentic villages with wooden houses and whitewashed churches. Goms is an attractive cross-country paradise in winter.
Too early for lunch,the colourful chairs and the attractively decorated tables prepared ready. The tables situated in an enviable position elevated over looking the old city square,will soon be filled with people taking a leisurely meal.
The Buff-fronted Owl is both a highly attractive and very poorly known owl, and is the sole member of the genus Aegolius to occur in South America. Its range there is rather widespread, but apparently highly disjunct, the species occurring in the Andes from northwest Venezuela to northern Peru, and then, equally locally, over much of the eastern third of South America, from northeast Brazil south to northeast Argentina, and Bolivia. Over this wide range, the Buff-fronted Owl is known from a wide variety of forest types, and has been recorded from sea level to the timberline. The face and underparts are largely buffy-colored, whilst the upperparts are dark brown, marked with white spots and bars on the wings and tail, respectively. Its whistled trilling vocalization recalls that of some screech-owls.
It's always a joy to find them and even more to be able to photograph!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Attractive, multicolored little bird of fresh and brackish marshes with rushes and reed beds; known in some areas as siete colores (seven colors). Feeds actively in rushes and adjacent vegetation, sometimes on adjacent muddy shorelines. Boldly patterned and colorful plumage is unique among flycatchers and should not be confused if seen well; note the bold white wingband and white tail sides, which show distinctly in flight. (eBird)
Poor photo, I know, but best I could get under the circumstances. All other shots were of the bird hiding in the reeds. Oh well, one takes what one can get sometimes :)
Laguna Huaypo, Peru. October 2018.
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.

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

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
A very attractive female Common Kingfisher. Known in Ancient Greece as the Halcyon bird.
The name Halcyon itself comes from the Greek goddess, Alcyone who was married to Ceyx. According to legend the couple were happily married but made the mistake of calling each other Zeus and Hera, which angered the real god Zeus who in bad temper killed Ceyx by sinking his ship with a thunderbolt.
On hearing this, Alcyone, wrought with grief, threw herself into the sea and drowned. Out of compassion, however, the gods later changed them both into beautiful flashing blue halcyon birds named after her and recognised in the kingfisher’s scientific name of Alcedo, after Alcyone.
There's a nice apiary at the northeastern end of the Gaasperplas that I like to visit on my rounds. Though it was still quite chilly - about 7C - Bees were abuzz. But my attention was drawn by this Dronefly, Eristalis tenax, gathering pollen on a Daffodil flower.
The attractive cyan-blue colour of the water is the result of its glacial meltwater content. From a slide.

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.

My favorite forest.

Many of the trees already shed its leaves on the ground and the beautiful colors were loosing.
The forest were preparing for the winter.
And the forest in this season has the attractive touch.
我が家の近くに森があります。
わたしのお気に入りの森です。
先月歩いた際に撮影した写真を紹介します。
木々は既に多くの葉を落とし、美しい色は失われつつありました。
冬への準備をしているのですね。
この時期の森も趣きがあるものです。
