Parc national de KRKA en Dalmatie
Le parc se compose de chutes d’eau qui se sont créées sur la rivière Krka grâce à la formation de travertin.
il possède une faune et une flore riche et variée.
En traversant le parc, parcouru de petits ruisseaux et petites cascades se déversant dans un immense lac, on croit avoir trouvé le Paradis sur terre...
National park of KRKA in Dalmatia
The park consists of waterfalls which built up themselves on the river Krka thanks to the formation of travertine.
It possesses a fauna and a rich and varied flora.
By crossing the park, browsed by small brooks and small waterfalls pouring in an immense lake, we believe to have found the Heaven on Earth...
Der Park stellt sich aus den Wasserfällen zusammen, die sich auf dem Fluß Krka dank der Bildung, die ist travertin, geschaffen haben.
Er besitzt eine Fauna und eine reiche und verschiedenartig gestaltete Flora.
Den Park überquerend, der von kleinen Bächen und den kleinen in einem riesengroßen See fließenden Wasserfällen durchgelaufen ist, glaubt man, das Paradies auf Land(Erde) gefunden zu haben...

Crazy Tuesday - Theme of June 22, 2021: Knots
gift ribbon on a little curved glass bottle ... no fancy knot, but it's a knot at least ... : ))
Background: sidelit texture wrapping paper with tiny metallic dots to create some bokeh bubbles ... I partly added a layer of Topaz "Starlight Glitter" with reduced opacity (I like its dreamy / glittery effect on images and it's Crazy Tuesday, after all ; ))
Happy Tuesday to you all !
I will be browsing later in the evening (crazy day at work)

This was headed for the trash can about ten times but every time I look at it I turn into Muttley ( mind you I don't why I wheeze so much) This photo absolutely cracks me up laughing every single time I come across it browsing my hard drive. Just look at Merry completely off the floor after pestering that dog on the lead. She was only ten months old if that and getting better at obedience. She just lives up to her name though I think Scamp would be more appropriate and I use more choice words on occasion to be honest...
Err,if you never watched wacky races or dastardly and Muttley you won't understand the reference..
Just to make you smile :)
Thank you so much dear Flickr friends for all your encouraging comments and faves. I enjoy reading them all and get inspiration from all your wonderful photography too....Sue
Manakara (Madagascar) - Ceux qui ont l’habitude de parcourir ma galerie connaissent cette plage. J'ai publié ici plusieurs photos de ce lieu que j'aime tant.
Derrière les dunes se trouve le village des pêcheurs. Comme je suis venu sur cette plage à plusieurs reprises pour assister au retour des pirogues, je commence à être connu et l'accueil est toujours chaleureux. Les pêcheurs ne comprennent toujours pas comment je peux venir de si loin pour les photographier ? Il faut dire qu'ici, ils voient peu de touristes. En tout cas, aucun qui comme moi, reste avec eux pratiquement toute la journée.
The fishing is over
Manakara (Madagascar) - Those who are used to browsing my gallery know this beach. I have published here several photos of this place that I love so much.
Behind the dunes is the fishing village. As I have come to this beach on several occasions to watch the return of the canoes, I am beginning to be known and the welcome is always warm. The fishermen still do not understand how I can come from so far away to photograph them? It must be said that here they see few tourists. In any case, no one like me who stays with them practically all day.
Male greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros), a woodland antelope found throughout eastern and southern Africa. It is one of the largest species of antelope. Bulls weigh 190–270 kg (420–600 lb). The bulls also have beards running along their throats, and large horns with two and a half twists.

Thank you for your views and comments. They are all greatly appreciated.
I only realized at the last minute it was world book day 02/03/23 so hastily browsed through my Asha pictures of her in costume and picked 3 pictures to upload to mark this occassion. I changed the background to a plan black in this picture as I just didn't have the time to do something more creative...lol. Happy world book day from Asha, Ashala and myself...
Actually, one could spend many hours in the pretty little town of Mahone Bay, browsing the quaint little shops and cafes....a great place to find artwork and jewellry, antiques and nautical treasures, and the best shoe store around! We arrived at dark and Wayne stopped for coffee so I grabbed a chance to capture the calm scene across the road.
Lewa Downs

East Africa
Black rhinos are browsers that get most of their sustenance from eating trees and bushes. They use their lips to pluck leaves and fruit from the branches. Currently there are 5,055 black rhinos left.
Except for females and their offspring, black rhinos are solitary. Females reproduce only every two and a half to five years. Their single calf does not live on its own until it is about three years old.
Black rhinos feed at night and during the gloaming hours of dawn and dusk. Under the hot African sun, they take cover by lying in the shade. Rhinos are also wallowers. They often find a suitable water hole and roll in its mud, coating their skin with a natural bug repellent and sun block. Rhinos have sharp hearing and a keen sense of smell.
Black rhinos boast two horns, the foremost more prominent than the other. Rhino horns grow as much as three inches (eight centimeters) a year and have been known to grow up to five feet (one and a half meters) long. Females use their horns to protect their young, while males use them to battle attackers.
The black rhino once roamed most of sub-Saharan Africa, but today is on the verge of extinction due to poaching fueled by commercial demand.
The black rhinoceros is classified as Critically Endangered (CR) on the IUCN Red List and is listed on Appendix I of CITES. For conservancies, national and private reserves that hold any rhino, the key to ensuring the survival of their populations is the provision of adequate security. – Wikipedia

Gerenuk browsing on an acacia bush in Samburu.
The gerenuk, Litocranius walleri, also known as the Waller's gazelle, is a long-necked species of antelope found in dry thorn shrubland and desert in the Horn of Africa and the African Great Lakes region. The word gerenuk comes from the word in the Somali language, Garanuug, meaning "giraffe-necked". Gerenuk are sometimes also called the giraffe-necked antelope. It is the sole member of the genus Litocranius. The gerenuk is Near Threatened on IUCN List.

Central Kalahari Game Reserve
Botswana
Southern Africa
The springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis) is a medium-sized antelope found mainly in southern and southwestern Africa. The sole member of the genus Antidorcas.
Active mainly at dawn and dusk, springbok form harems (mixed-sex herds). In earlier times, springbok of the Kalahari desert and Karoo migrated in large numbers across the countryside, a practice known as trekbokken.
A feature unique to the springbok is pronking, in which the springbok performs multiple leaps into the air, up to 2 m (6.6 ft) above the ground, in a stiff-legged posture, with the back bowed and the white flap lifted.
Primarily a browser, the springbok feeds on shrubs and succulents; this antelope can live without drinking water for years, meeting its requirements through eating succulent vegetation. Breeding takes place year-round, and peaks in the rainy season, when forage is most abundant.
Springbok inhabit the dry areas of south and southwestern Africa. The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources classifies the springbok as a least concern species. – Wikipedia

The wild water buffalo (Bubalus arnee), also called Asian buffalo, Asiatic buffalo and wild buffalo, is a large bovine native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It has been listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List since 1986, as the remaining population totals less than 3,400. A population decline of at least 50% over the last three generations (24–30 years) is projected to continue. 3,100 live in India, mostly in Assam. The wild water buffalo is the most likely ancestor of the domestic water buffalo.
The wild water buffalo occurs in India, Nepal, Bhutan, Thailand, and Cambodia, with an unconfirmed population in Myanmar. It is associated with wet grasslands, swamps, flood plains and densely vegetated river valleys. Tigers, mugger crocodiles and Asian black bears feed on adult wild water buffaloes.
In India, it is largely restricted to in and around Kaziranga, Manas and Dibru-Saikhowa National Parks, Laokhowa Wildlife Sanctuary and Bura Chapori Wildlife Sanctuary and in a few scattered pockets in Assam.
Wild water buffaloes are both diurnal and nocturnal. They are probably grazers by preference, feeding mainly on graminoids when available. They also eat other herbs, fruits, and bark, as well as browsing on trees and shrubs. They also feed on crops, including rice, sugarcane, and jute, sometimes causing considerable damage. – Wikipedia
The advantage of no fences. Two young Black-tailed deer dropped by after sunset to browse the red-twig dogwood and other delicacies. The black-tailed deer lives along the Pacific coast, and is smaller than a mule deer, but is related to a Sitka deer, according to Wikipedia.
Steveston Historic Fishing Village is an ever so romantic fishing village, that is situated in Richmond BC, on the Mighty Fraser River

Definitely one of British Columbia's best kept secrets.
Anyone who knows me, knows of my huge love for tugs,
and this grand ole lady, the KU'ULAKAI - 1944 Miki Tug is by far, my all time favourite.
The low on the horizon setting sun, casts a beautiful tangerine glow that further romances Steveston Harbour.
(Ku'ulakai meaning: Hawaiian Fishing God of Fisherman)
Her history: as per online sources: (Unverified)
Built:1944
Length: 111.9
Gross Tonnage: 301
Used as a Tugboat all along the West Coast of BC
Ku'ulakai is said to be the only intact Miki tug in Canadian waters.
Builder: Northeast Shipbuilding, Quincy Massachusetts, USA
According to onlines sources, this tug was built as a wooden Mikki US Army Tug - LT465, and used by the U.S. navy during the Second World War to tow damaged ships from the Pacific back for repair.
Online information also reports that later on in life, she was used by drug runners in the South Pacific and that in 1988 was seized by the Canadian Coast Guard for smuggling drugs out of China.
She was originally named: Lloyd B. Gore, decommissioned & sold 1946.

Kruger National Park
Giraffes favor eating the leaves and twigs of Acacia trees. This tree is armed with big, white, sharp thorns to protect its juicy leaves from attackers. Giraffes, however, are not deterred by these thorns and they use their long maneuverable tongues and tough lips to get around them.
