This is J Mart in Pisek, ND. (Population 87). All the boxes are full of hand bagged chocolates and candy. Including a selection of sugar free. Hand written signs, hand written receipts, original tin ceiling, old school cash register. A row of white freezers, not commercial freezers. Every year they order tons of goodies; this year they have 9,500 pounds of candy - yes, you read that correctly. It’s a throw back to the 40’s or maybe earlier! We loved it. Nobody pushed, everyone was patient. No debit cards, no credit cards, just cash or cheques. And the chocolate was yummy!
Back to business. Returning sometimes feels like jumping on a moving train. New Orleans, btw, was awesome. I think Allison and I found our Vegas.
Terrific Tuesday to you.
“Because the difference between a friend and a real friend is that you and the real friend come from the same territory, of the same place deep inside you, and that means you see the world in the same kind of way. You know each other even before you do.”

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.

hörschbachschlucht near to murrhardt (swabian forest, germany). On the top of the waterfall there is a pool and with a small flap you can trigger the waterfall. The waterfall ist about 12m high. thanks vor my buddy max for the idea and nice trip.
Sometimes called African White-backed Vulture. Distinguished from Rüppell's Griffon by its all dark bill, dark eyes, and more plain back feathers (Rüppell's back feathers have dark centers and light edges). Although there is no population estimate, BirdLife International also lists this species as critically endangered.

I took this photo from the ferry on my way to see the statue of Liberty.
I am back after a very hectic trip of nearly three weeks.It was a great trip but it has taken me nearly a week to get over the jet lag.:-)
I have done some amount of photography although it was difficult as I was travelling all the time.
I have missed all my friends here badly and I am really glad to be back.:-)
Wikipedia: The olive-backed sunbird (Cinnyris jugularis), also known as the yellow-bellied sunbird, is a species of sunbird found from Southern Asia to Australia. Originally from mangrove habitat, the olive-backed sunbird has adapted well to humans, and is now common even in fairly densely populated areas, even forming their nests in human dwellings.

One of the back roads we went down looking for snowy owls in the UP of MI last weekend. Was like a blizzard up north. But did come across one snowy and some eagles.

Looking back over the winter we haven't seen as many of these beautiful Snowy Owls as in previous winters. Yesterday we did spot a couple of them far out on the Lake Ontario ice. This photo was taken from our vehicle at a safe distance respecting the owl's space and the private property it was sitting on.
Thank you for viewing
Okay, so technically it's a small sand dune, not a mountain, but still...I have a song in my heart, a ukulele on my back, and sand beneath my not-at-all-appropriate-for-the-beach boots, so things are going fine!
Remnants of an old grain elevator, now part a cow pasture, on the outskirts of a sleepy Oklahoma town...Have a great fence friday all,60° here Sunday! It's snowing right now so we will see...LOL

The Anna's hummingbirds are super active in our back yard right now. So much fun to watch them battle it out, whipping by at insane speeds. I love the tuft of fluff on this guy's bum.

The girl spent most of the next three days cleaning the theater, scavenging chairs from other buildings, and even finding some curtains that could be used to dress up the stage.
The Angel would drop in occasionally, to watch, or sit and chat, and on one occasion to do maintenance on her leg frame, which fascinated the girl.
"Does it ever hurt?" she asked the Angel, who was tightening something, with a fixed look of concentration on her face.
"Oh no, well; rarely, I did try dancing last year and that got a bit iffy, although I'd been to the ballerina camp so I was slightly wobbly from the Vodka.
"I'm wondering if you *are* one of the Russian Ballet members, you know - I visited the camp last night .. " The girl rubbed the back of her head as if soothing a headache, then continued .. "They asked me to help them out."
The Angel glanced up from her work, a twinkling eye directed at the girl...."A tasting?" she asked.
The girl shook her head, then thought better of it, grasping the back of her head again. "No, no.... washing, I needed to wash a few things, and traded my time.." She paused a moment... "might have been some tasting...."
