Because of your kind comments, invites and awards, this little fella made it to the world of 'explore'. Thanks all for visiting (not just this photo but also the others).

a very peculiar wader / shorebird, not only because of its double name but more so because of its behavior.

From Wikipedia:

"The red phalarope or grey phalarope (Phalaropus fulicarius) is a small wader. This phalarope breeds in the Arctic regions of North America and Eurasia. It is migratory, and, unusually for a wader, migrates mainly on oceanic routes, wintering at sea on tropical oceans.

The typical avian sex roles are reversed in the three phalarope species. Females are larger and more brightly coloured than males. The females pursue males, compete for nesting territory, and will aggressively defend their nests and chosen mates. Once the females lay their olive-brown eggs, they begin their southward migration, leaving the males to incubate the eggs and care for the young. Three to six eggs are laid in a ground nest near water. Incubation lasts 18 or 19 days. The young mainly feed themselves and are able to fly within 18 days of birth.

The red phalarope is about 21 cm (8.3 in) in length, with lobed toes and a straight bill, somewhat thicker than that of red-necked phalarope. The breeding female is predominantly dark brown and black above, with red underparts and white cheek patches. The bill is yellow, tipped black. The breeding male is a duller version of the female. Young birds are light grey and brown above, with buff underparts and a dark patch through the eye. In winter, the plumage is essentially grey above and white below, but the black eyepatch is always present. The bill is black in winter.

When feeding, a red phalarope will often swim in a small, rapid circle, forming a small whirlpool. This behaviour is thought to aid feeding by raising food from the bottom of shallow water. The bird will reach into the outskirts of the vortex with its bill, plucking small insects or crustaceans caught up therein. They sometimes fly up to catch insects in flight. On the open ocean, they are found in areas where converging ocean currents produce upwellings and are often found near groups of whales. Outside of the nesting season they often travel in flocks."

Because blue tits form pairs and defend their territory, they were considered a symbol of marital fidelity in some regions. A nesting pair of tits in the garden was seen as a good omen for a stable family.

Symbol der Treue

Da Blaumeisen Paare bilden und ihr Revier verteidigen, galten sie regional als Symbol ehelicher Treue. Ein brütendes Meisenpaar im Garten wurde als gutes Omen für eine stabile Familie gesehen.

Poor Bambi! Following an unsuccessful mating season, this is sadly all he can do for that post-rut itch...

Because I've already taken dozens of photos of this gorgeous inn, our habitual lay over before boarding the ferry to the Vineyard, I decided to focus on the more important things in life: like breakfast!

Untitled because I just couldn't think of a good one.

From rocky beaches to rocky mountains (no, not those ones). Check out the tree, carving out its own place among the rocks.

Somewhere in the western Sierras along Hwy 108 on the way to Sonora Pass, then Bodie and Mono Lake.

..because the magpie is lurking.

Seen along one of the grittier sections of Queen St. East in Toronto. Taken from inside my car while at a stop light. Thought this image had some power to it because of the gun being pointed at this guy who looks like he's had a bit of a rough life....

because your real life is tragic.

SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW – LILY ALLEN

AGENT OF GOOD FORTUNE

Like a muse you came to me

the news was so very good to read

I saw the writing on every wall

and in every mirror reflections of your soul

shadows whispering round my heels

soft, floating wishes; an agent of good fortune

marching your feet so very tirelessly

and though I am quite an effort

I am so happy you think I'm worth it

for I've never met another man like you

and I don't suppose I ever wanted to

because you are truly one of a kind

the kind of man who gets me so completely

that I feel whole instead of a jumbled puzzle

a broken plaything that someone else grew tired of

and abandoned me to myself,

like a discarded toy high up on a dusty shelf

but what a gift; a treasure they left so far behind and never knew

like in a fairy tale you woke me from my endless reverie

A Prince that listens to all my tales of woe and misery

and never fails to make me smile

who listens to my nonsense

and levels it with such good advice;

someone who's prepared to go that extra mile

I hear you laughing now, so at least in equal measures

a pinch of sarcasm amid our hidden pleasures

but I can take it; my shoulders broad

even if only metaphorically

but then metaphysically my poetry

doesn't need to rhyme

because the emphasis is on the words

the meanings and not beating time

I know you like it to be simpler

and you pretend to misunderstand

but I know you're smarter

than the average bear Boo-Boo

I can sometimes wax lyrical if you prefer

but I can't always tell how it will end

because I write in a stream of consciousness

and when I read it back

it's often the first I've heard of it

there's no accounting for what's hidden in our minds

but what I do know is what is in my heart

and you captivated a part of me right from the start

it's as though somewhere in the universe

a split appeared and then I fell to Earth

but you'd already been here for a little while

and never knew until one day you saw me smile

and it hit you that I was the other half of you

but there's nothing to be done about it

at least not in this incarnation

even if we had the right inclination

we cannot mess with divine intervention

but be patient because we already

waited several lifetimes

so what's another one or two

and this time round I have a photographic memory

so I will remember and not make the same mistakes again next time

and when the portal to our dreams opens up it's doors once more

I will wait for the perfect moment

and then I will be yours

and we will go to that special place

that special somewhere that only we can know

where there's no other place we want to go

you know the place I mean

it looms so large in both our dreams

I think that you will be my rock

the anchor that weights me down

for in this world I'm only floating

round and round trying hard to never be found

because I don't want to be with anyone else

I'm holding out for another lifetime

when you and I can dance around

and we will be forever bound

together ...

The UP "Mission Bay" local switching out Economy Lumber in Campbell, California. This particular UP local is neat because it uses the Caltrain trackage and runs under the wires.

BECAUSE I TOLD YOU SO, THAT'S WHY. Ever parents favorite refrain. This GIANT wild stallion known as Centuro decided his newest little foal named Chardonay was not behaving appropriately as he wandered to close to horses from another band. Centuro quickly went after him, nipping his hind quarters to move him away. The poor little foal was as startled as I was~ Not a good photo as I was not ready for this action but since it showed another behavior of the wild horses I decided to post it. Love Chardonany's expression … and, yes, he got the heck away from the other horses. LOL

"because of the tender mercy of our God,

whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high

to give light to those who sit in darkness

and in the shadow of death,

to guide our feet into the way of peace.” （Luk 1:78,79）

...because that's how long we wandered around it trying to find a composition!

Because Canmore is situated in a mountain valley one side of town gets dark much earlier than the other side.

As I take a walk on the dark side, I see the sunny side still basking in the summer sun.

Because the April weather is as it is in April - snow, sleet alternating with rain showers - with temperatures just above freezing, I would like to bring you some color and sun :-)

Weil das Aprilwetter so ist wie es eben ist im April - Schnee, Graupelschauer im Wechsel mit Regenschauern - bei Temperaturen knapp über dem Gefrierpunkt, möchte ich euch etwas Farbe und Sonne vorbeibringen :-)

COMMENTS ENABLED .. Because somehow this photo made it to explore?? Okay. lol! Thanks..

I am a little behind on my 52 week challenge, but I'm getting it done as soon as I can! I've been quite busy! I have been staying steady on my 52Frames (because it's a countdown, I have to! Or I'll break my streak.. *ohh the pressure lol*)

I'm going to catch up as soon as I can. I have to do my 52Frames soon, and it's "PORTRAIT" & extra credit is "Rembrandt Lighting" - so we'll see if I get it done with the extra credit.. but either way I'll have a portrait for them by Sunday!

I've been VERY stressed out lately too, but I've been doing A LOT of praying and self reflection, and I know that it's all going to be okay. I'm remaining positive, even though sometimes it can be VERY HARD. (No worries, I'm fine! Everything is going to work out, in the right time!)

◼ The subject for WEEK 19 on my 52 WEEK is: "END OF THE LINE"!

I took quite a few different photos that I could use for this one, however.. this sign has been in my mind ever since I heard of the subject.. I took this photo on the way home from the store, and I ended up choosing this one to use.

I really love the sign underneath, about the deaf cat.. It's so unique.

I hope that you all are doing well! I have a photo shoot to do tomorrow morning (PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY for an upcoming website)- I'm excited! I'll post a photo to show you guys what I come up with.. Although I'll probably have a few good ones, I'm sure!

• Dieser malerische See befindet sich in einem rund 3.000 Jahre alten Vulkankrater. Interessant ist, das der Pegel des Sees konstant ist, weil er eine Verbindung zum Grundwasser besitzt.

• This picturesque lake is located in a volcanic crater around 3,000 years old. It is interesting that the level of the lake is constant because it is connected to the groundwater.

When did they all become some grouchy & uptight!? Hmmmm....

..because by the sound of things, not much is going to be happening in London over the next few months. All bars, restaurants, cafes, and cinemas ordered to close!

“The tourist seeks out Culture because – in our world – culture has disappeared into the maw of the Spectacle.

Culture has been torn down and replaced with a Mall or a talkshow- because our education is nothing but a preparation for a lifetime of work and consumption-because we ourselves have ceased to create".

Just because Christmas is over for another year doesn't mean you can't still indulge a little! A few days off work mean there's time to make many many batches of delicious mince pies — you simply can't beat the taste you get when you bake them yourself — the mincemeat *needs* to overflow and caramelise making a sticky gorgeous treat! They're topped with grated marzipan which toasts in the oven and goes all crunchy and almondy and sweet!

life goes on, somehow

I'm feeling the flood, the flood of a lot of work.

It feels like a thousand ants under my skin , the blood rushing, the heart running.

I should go out now for a minimum of one hour, a night walk. I should.

But maybe I only dress me for my ergometer...

A december like thia. No silent time.

But I try to walk as much as possible.

I prefer to start work a little later, because the end is alwasys open, every day.

Last night I had a good sleep.

But to do it again, I need to bring down my stress hormones.

Hahaha

I often debate giving Bryton a makeover. It's been a couple years.

Because saguaros grow so slowly, it might take 50 to 75 years for them to grow their first arms. Arms are important to them because they store extra water. After 100 years, they usually have several arms. After 200 years they have many arms. Amazing the age of these beautiful plants. This large one is probably over 200 years old.

Arms are important to saguaros because they store extra water and increase the plant's reproductive capacity. The number of arms a saguaro grows depends on how much water it receives.

Note the bird nests in the large cactus on the left.
