Back To The Future

I'd definitely go back to Back Beach, which forms part of the Paritutu Centennial Park on the outskirts of New Plymouth, New Zealand. It was blowing a gale on this evening, making it tough to keep the camera steady and the lens clear of sea spray! Loads of interesting rock formations, especially at low tide.
About the length and diameter of the first two bones in your little finger, a tiny Snowberry Clearwing Moth backs out of a Bee Balm floret after sampling its sweet nectar. These creatures are amazing as they go about their business with stealth and precision. And... they fly FAST.
Something a bit different. Not an old barn, but one of the nicest yards I've ever seen!

ثنتين عندي من نوادر طبوعي***للطير قدر وللمناعير تقديـر
اقدره تقدير طيـب ربوعـي***وبرفقته مامل طول المشاوير
The Isola San Giorgio Maggiore has always intrigued me. It is definitely one of the iconic sights to see in Venice. The island has been occupied since 829 and the church, with its bell tower, was built in 1566. This was taken one morning as the sun began to rise over the beautiful historic city!!
I continue to be busy trying to lend support to a Presidential candidate here in the USA and getting ready for a new trip to India. Southern India will be my destination this time. I miss my daily contact with every one, but probably won't be back on schedule until sometime in March! I continue to appreciate your support and encouragement!!!
Nature takes its course.
The Precursors of Spring have returned.
Storks usually migrate back from their winter quarters in Spain, the Mediterranean and North Africa in March.
There are more and more white storks in Baden-Württemberg - also because many stop taking the dangerous trip to Africa in winter.
Here in Germany’s southwest -as well as in the nearby Alsace (France)-
storks have always been celebrated as good-luck symbols, heraldic coat of arms motifs, all-around fabulous creatures, certainly much more than just quaint and interesting flying beasts.
Due to COVID-19, the borders between Germany and France are closed...
I live very close to the Alsace region I like so very much.
The Southern Alsace is heavily hit by the Pandemic too,
Sending my best wishes to our neighbours.
Prenez soin de vous, tous mes amis français ♥
Fact is, for centuries, people have felt fortunate to have storks nesting on their roofs. At that time people believed that they protect the house from fire, lightning and other natural and even man-made disasters. Storks tend to return to the same nesting place often with the same partner, year after year!

Many thanks for your kind visit, dear friends.
Take care, stay healthy everyone.

Icterus chrysater
(Yellow-backed Oriole / Turpial Montañero)
The Yellow-backed Oriole is well-named, as it is one of the very few species of orioles with a yellow back. Indeed, this oriole shows only two colors, yellow and black: the wings are entirely black, the feathers lacking the white or yellow feather margins that are shown by most other species of oriole.
The Yellow-backed Oriole has an oddly discontinuous distribution: it occurs from southern Mexico south to northeastern Nicaragua, and again from Panama south to northern Colombia and Venezuela, but is absent from Costa Rica and from most of Nicaragua. This oriole has a very broad elevational range, ranging up to 2500 m in Central America and almost to 2700 m in Colombia.

I started out with film photography many years ago. But, in spite of seeing so many awesome film images here on Flickr, I love the versatility of digital. I also love collecting old cameras.
