Bishop’s cap cactus usually reaches no more than 100 cm (39 inches) in height and up to 20 cm (8 inches) in diameter. It has four or five distinct ribs that increase to eight or more with age. The plant is globose when young, becoming cylindroid as it gains more ribs. The gray-green flesh is covered with white flecks. The fragrant yellow flowers have numerous petals and usually appear in early spring or summer during the day.
This is one of several Gray-capped Flycatchers that we saw on our visit to Costa Rica earlier this month. I’m impressed by just how many different types of flycatchers there are and by how many very similar looking ones share the same habitat.
We will be doing this trip again next spring, if you think you might be interested more information is available here: www.texastargetbirds.com/group-photo-trips/2018-costa-ric...

Myiozetetes granadensis
I didn't have many days available for doing local bird photography this winter, so I tended to prioritize seeking out great grey owls. I did spend one day at a local park, enjoying the common birds you tend to encounter in winter. The black-capped chickadee is always the first to come close to 'beg' for food. Being well rewarded from previous human encounters, they will vocalize a lot and will flutter nearby to get your attention, anticipating a handout.
They are cooperative, cute, and cheery, so I always try to get images of them.
Le cap Roux est un cap du littoral de la Côte d'Azur dans le massif de l'Esterel, situé entre Agay dans le Var et Théoule-sur-Mer dans les Alpes-Maritimes.
Cap Roux is a cape on the Côte d'Azur coastline in the Esterel massif, in the French department of Var in the south of France.
La pointe du cap Roux est surplombée par les montagnes du pic du cap Roux (454 m) et du Saint-Pilon (442 m). Les roches volcaniques dominent comme dans tout le massif et leur couleur rougeâtre de la rhyolite donne le nom au cap.
Le Massif du Cap Roux est l’un des sites les plus beaux du Massif de l’Estérel. Avec ses rochers rouges aux parois verticales, le panorama offert depuis la table d’orientation au sommet (454m) est un mariage réussi de la montagne et de la mer.
Le volcanisme de l'Esterel est terminé depuis fort longtemps, mais rien n'interdit de rêver, de s'abandonner à la contemplation du paysage lorsque la lumière rougeoyante du couchant joue sa grande fantasmagorie sur les rochers du Cap Roux.
The tip of Cap Roux is overlooked by the mountains of Pic du Cap Roux (454 m) and Saint-Pilon (442 m). The volcanic rocks dominate as in the whole massif and their reddish color gives the name to the cape.
The Massif du Cap Roux is one of the most beautiful sites in the Massif de l'Estérel. With its red rocks with vertical walls, the panorama offered from the orientation table at the summit (454m) is a successful marriage of the mountain and the sea. The volcanism of the Esterel has been over for a long time, but nothing prevents you from dreaming, from abandoning yourself to the contemplation of the landscape when the glowing light of the setting sun plays its great phantasmagoria on the rocks of Cap Roux.
Located between the Mediterranean coast and Provence, the Estérel is a volcanic range that covers 32,000 hectares, including 14,000 protected hectares. Rhyolite, an igneous rock formed in the Paleozoic era, gives the mountains their striking red colour. Guided or self-tours are available for mountain bikers, horseback riders and hikers.

Going back to the January trip for throwback Thursday, Cap Dramont, France, a morning long exposure under stormy weather, and 2 post sunset frames. The island with the tower is Ile D'Or, the inspiration for the L'Ile Noire segment (supposedly in Scotland) of Tintin comic books, for those of us old enough to grow up reading them.

Two weeks back from holiday in Brittany.
This photo was taken earlier this year in May.
If you look at the photo.
Can you understand that I liked the region and wanted to go back again.
Does anybody have any Blotting Paper for there is a Ink Blot on the Landscape...
Just took this little macro picture yesterday in my back garden. I thought it looked interesting the way it leaned over like this and the way the ink seems to be running from it and staining the grass. I never noticed this before with these mushrooms (probably never looked before...lol)

Black-capped Kingfisher has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable www.iucnredlist.org/species/22683249/212490546
There are quite a few colourful kingfishers in Thailand, and Black-capped Kingfisher is particularly eye-catching including for that large red bill. The species is ranked as Vulnerable by the IUCN, mainly due to population declines. This individual was seen at a boardwalk that went some distance along a channel we travelled on by boat. The location was near Laem Phak Bia in Phetchaburi province.
I photographed this Chestnut-capped Warbler (Basileuterus delattrii) at La Esmeralda Hostal, in the vereda Pastales near Ibagué, Tolima, Colombia, in October 2019. It ranges from Guatemala to Colombia and Venezuela. It was lumped with the Rufous-capped Warbler for years, and eBird now treats the two as separate species. It has a chestnut crown and ear patch with a long white eyebrow between them, and golden yellow underparts. The subspecies mesochrysus has a paler crown and a grayish neck. IUCN still assesses it together with the Rufous-capped Warbler and lists the combined species as Least Concern, though its numbers are believed to be falling.
I used a Pentax K-1 with the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6 for this one, at 1/200 sec, f/5.6, ISO 800. Finca La Esmeralda, in the vereda Pastales on the road to the Nevado del Tolima, now hosts birders as Tángara Real Eco Lodging.
