Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus haematodus)

 

Just because I haven't posted a Rainbow for a while.

 

From the archives

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

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.

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.

... I love it.

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 our world is not the same as Othello’s world. You can’t make flivvers without steel and you can’t make tragedies without social instability. The world’s stable now. People are happy; they get what they want, an they never want what they can’t get. - Brave New World, Aldous Huxley

I like this. But I hate it.

I like it because it was amazing to see. I hate it because it reminds me of

a) a cheap motel poster

b) a bible catalog!

Yesterday we had clouds, and while the kids where again running on pipes, this was happening in the sky.

I took 46 photos. I cant get rid of any.

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 ...

Tapir - T. terrestrial - Male - Wild - at Pantanal - The South American tapir, also commonly called the Brazilian tapir, the Amazonian tapir, the maned tapir, the lowland tapir, the anta, and la sachavaca, is one of the four recognized species in the tapir family. It is the largest surviving native terrestrial mammal in the Amazon. Vulnerable.

 

T. terrestris is an excellent swimmer and diver, but also moves quickly on land, even over rugged, mountainous terrain. It has a life span of approximately 25 to 30 years. In the wild, its main predators are crocodilians (only the black caiman and Orinoco crocodile, the latter of which is critically endangered, are large enough to take these tapirs, as the American crocodile only exists in the northern part of South America) and large cats, such as the jaguar and cougar, which often attack tapirs at night when tapirs leave the water and sleep on the riverbank. The South American tapir is also attacked by the green anaconda (Eunectes murinus). T. terrestris is known to run to water when scared to take cover.

 

The South American tapir can attain a body length of 1.8 to 2.5 m (5.9 to 8.2 ft) with a 5 to 10 cm (2.0 to 3.9 in) short stubby tail and an average weight around 225 kg (496 lb). Adult weight has been reported ranging from 150 to 320 kg (330 to 710 lb). It stands somewhere between 77 to 108 cm (30 to 43 in) at the shoulder.

Because it is women's day today the two male members of my cat family congratulates every Flickermember woman. Addition: Women's day is over now but I (Cortez) still want to offer to every woman a red rose.

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!

Because I am always knitting and surrounded by balls of yarn, my sister gave me a ball of cashmere yarn for my birthday to hang on the Christmas tree.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Omdat ik altijd aan het breien ben en omringd word door bollen wol, kreeg van mijn zus voor mijn verjaardag, een bol cashmere wol om in de kerstboom te hangen.

 

for #MacroMondays "SPARKLE"

Picture with ruler in the first commentbox.

 

“Recall the moment that recalls you,” the Core sang, its voice a melody braided from collapsing epochs. “It is older than stars, and younger than your next breath.”

 

The harmonics deepened.

“All time bends toward you. All time breaks because of you. All time begins again through you.

 

You will end what cannot end. You will begin what cannot begin. You will stand where time kneels.”

 

“I don’t understand,” Adrienne whispered. “Stop speaking in riddles. Just tell me what I’m supposed to do.”

 

The Core answered on a soft tone, “Stand upon the Ovum Stone… and open your mind.”

 

Adrienne looked down. At her feet rested an egg-shaped stone, smooth, pale, impossibly ancient — a relic of the first moment, humming with energy.

 

She stepped onto its center.

 

The floating rings around the Core shifted, descending through her body like luminous vertebrae. They passed into the ground beneath her. Her muscles loosened; her weight dissolved. She hovered above the stone, suspended in a cradle of unseen force.

 

Unfamiliar thoughts surged through her — not memories, but possibilities. Her arms rose on instinct. Lightning crackled around the Core, spiraling upward like a storm learning to speak.

 

Symbols flashed before her eyes, too fast to grasp, too old to name.

 

The voice whispered, “Stand before the sum of all moments. Every beginning is still beginning. Every ending has already ended. Every possibility exists in superposition.”

 

Adrienne didn’t know how she knew — but she knew. She was the conduit. She was the interface. She was the one who could command the Core.

 

“Time has now ceased,” the voice murmured.

All machinery froze. The ground shuddered once. Silence swallowed everything.

 

Adrienne hung suspended — not breathing, not feeling, only existing. Terror flooded her.

 

“What have I done…”

 

Moments — or eternities — passed.

 

Then the Core spoke again, no longer melodic, but absolute, “Begin the sequencing of moments.”

 

Conduits erupted with blue white chronal fire. Gears slowly began to rotate, aligning constellations of runes that had not been seen since the universe was young. Pendulums resumed their swing, counting centuries, correcting drift, stitching time back together.

 

A haze lifted from her. Breath returned. She collapsed to her knees, trembling, exhausted.

 

“Reset complete,” the Core intoned.

 

A pause. Then, almost gently, “Would you like me to foretell your future?”

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

 

Colorado wild horses

 

In northern Utah we tend to look eastward when we want to see something beautiful because that's where the Wasatch mountains sit, and we tend to keep our backs turned to the west while we let mining companies chew up the mountains there because they aren't as nice to look at. Sometimes it's good to look west, though.

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.

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

 

Then I log him in and I'm like "LOL NOPE. 1097987% WOULD BANG!"
