Raven - Corvus corax
The common raven (Corvus corax), also known as the northern raven, is a large all-black passerine bird. Found across the Northern Hemisphere, it is the most widely distributed of all corvids. There are at least eight subspecies with little variation in appearance, although recent research has demonstrated significant genetic differences among populations from various regions. It is one of the two largest corvids, alongside the thick-billed raven, and is possibly the heaviest passerine bird; at maturity, the common raven averages 63 centimetres (25 inches) in length and 1.2 kilograms (2.6 pounds) in mass. Common ravens can live up to 21 years in the wild, a lifespan surpassed among passerines by only a few Australasian species such as the satin bowerbird and probably the lyrebirds. Young birds may travel in flocks but later mate for life, with each mated pair defending a territory.
Common ravens have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and in some areas have been so numerous that people have regarded them as pests. Part of their success as a species is due to their omnivorous diet; they are extremely versatile and opportunistic in finding sources of nutrition, feeding on carrion, insects, cereal grains, berries, fruit, small animals, nesting birds, and food waste.
Some notable feats of problem-solving provide evidence that the common raven is unusually intelligent. Over the centuries, it has been the subject of mythology, folklore, art, and literature. In many cultures, including the indigenous cultures of Scandinavia, ancient Ireland and Wales, Bhutan, the northwest coast of North America, and Siberia and northeast Asia, the common raven has been revered as a spiritual figure or godlike creature.

So after our successful bear watch in twilight a couple of evenings ago, we decided to return to the same meadow today. We usually make these return visits within 24-48 hours of a sighting, with around a 20% success rate. Today we were rewarded with good light too.

The Ballestas Islands - wildlife 20221119
About 3:30 hours south of Lima, the Ballestas Islands are one of the most popular tourist destinations in Peru for lovers of marine wildlife, birds, and beautiful rock formation sceneries.
These small islands, also called the “Poor Man’s Galapagos” because of how cheap it is to visit them and their wildlife experience, are an important sanctuary for marine fauna like the guanay guano bird, the blue-footed booby, and the tendril. Other species include zarcillos, Humboldt Penguins, fur seals, and sea lions, amongst other mammals – all coexisting in their natural habitat.
Three great egret youngsters awaiting lunch. The nest in the upper left corner is full of great blue heron chicks. Interesting how they are able to coexist in such tight quarters. As always, at least one parent is in the nest at all times. Too many eagles flying about looking for an easy meal. Egret nests outnumber heron nests about 5 to 1 on these two islands in the Mississippi. Spring flooding in the river wiped out 5 of the 8 cottonwoods on this island.

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I know that's true. But who could ever gaze upon a creature, such as this, a creature so endowed with such grace and power, and not be in total awe.
That a creature with such dynamism can at the same time be a creature of such gentle nature and strong spirit coexisting together in one soul.
Can you tell I love these animals? I had a photo shoot yesterday. This is Artemis, a Gypsy stallion. I photographed him 3 years ago and his owner hired me again for yesterday's shoot. She told me she wouldn't let anyone photograph him but me. She made me feel so good. So thank you Melissa. I loved seeing this gorgeous animal again.
I feel very blessed that I get to photograph so many of these special animals. To me, there isn't really much that compares to them, their presence and inner qualities of fortitude and willingness of spirit. Horses have done a lot for humans over the years, they've been used for both good and bad, entertainment and work, yet they still allow us to be part of their lives and will follow in our direction. Although, don't be fooled. They never forget "the bad" but they always appreciate "the good". They deserve our respect.
We owe a lot to horses.
The River Road - Iowa
Exploring a new area along the river which was once an early pioneer settlement coexisting with the Winnebago Indians. The river was once called Lime Creek, and in 1873 the Native Americans left for the Dakota Territory.
The reason given was both groups had hunted and depleted the game as their major food source!
Local historians have found many arrowheads along the riverbank and surrounding fields.

Hi There!
From my Summer 2019 Archives:
This is one of those images that reminds me that the camera can pick up such a small moment in time. We click, then that moment is gone forever. (I am a sentimental fool, I suppose).
I'm wishing you all a lovely day. Thank you for taking the time to view and comment on this image; I do love hearing from you!

Excerpt from mississauga.illumi.com:
In this universe we lose the North … and the South Poles. Borders blur in this icy world where penguins, whales and igloos coexist in an endless forest of stalagmites.
Seen on Rawson Lake Trail, Alberta, Canada
This is a serene paradise where the hardness of mountains and the softness of water complete each other.
This is an adaptable system where winter snow and spring vegetation coexist.
This is an inclusive environment where blue, white, green and brown harmonize.
This is a resilient universe where no ripples can disturb its tranquility.

*Working Towards a Better World
Humankind's greatest priority is to reintegrate with the natural world. - Jonathon Porritt
In reality, we haven't escaped the gravity of life at all. We are still beholden to ecological laws, the same as any other life-form. - Janine M. Benyus
Our relationship with nature is more one of being than having. We are nature: we do not have nature. - Steven Harper
The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction. - Rachel Carson
The underlying economic logic of an economy based on unlimited growth remains largely unchallenged in public discourse. - Timothy C. Weiskel
A good deed done to an animal is as meritorious as a good deed done to a human being, while an act of cruelty to an animal is as bad as an act of cruelty to a human being. - Mohammed
The missing link between animals and a truly humane mankind is man himself, who does not yet see himself as a part of the world, claiming it instead for himself. -
Dr. Michael W. Fox, One Earth, One Mind
Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is--whether its victim is human or animal--we cannot expect things to be much better in this world. -Rachel Carson
We must never permit the voice of humanity within us to be silenced. It is man's sympathy with all creatures that first makes him truly a man. - Albert Schweitzer, quoted in Reverence for Life
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
Rainy day. Calmly coexisting, for a change. I think the pillow there rather than its usual place against back of sofa may be good for their detente. (Added later to Happy Caturday 4/13/2019 “Rainy Days - past & present.”) (re-added to Happy Caturday 6 April 2024:, theme: “archive photo of cats I had when I joined the Happy Caturday group”. I joined in summer 2017, so happy to have done so and met you lovely people and cats. In this photo, showing their different sleeping styles: Pepper (R.I.P.) and Tikki (happily still with us despite her accident 5 days ago.))
Several species coexist on this Landes dune.
I did not manage to identify all the Gulls, there were juveniles and adults. In this photo we do not see them all and the juvenile is from behind if someone recognizes the species ...

This is a view of the village below Ingapirca Archeological Park.
Ingapirca is the largest archeological site in Ecuador. It was an Incan stronghold in the Andes Mountains of southern Ecuador from which the Incas consolidated their power over the region. The Incas had come to Ecuador from Peru to the south just a little over a generation before the Spanish came. They had a difficult time subduing the Cañari indigenous people who resisted fiercely. They eventually agreed to coexist after the Inca Túpac Yupanqui married a Cañari princess and built infrastructure including aqueducts and roads. Ingapirca is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Stone, water and sunset meet at the same point offering the one present with view that worth of moment to appreciate. The scene in front somehow portray sense of flow, romance and peace as the elements coexist at a single point of interception.

We're getting more and more moments of cooperation and even romping and playing, with still and occasional blow-up by Pippin with her annoying persistence. Aria worked up to this shared moment for several minutes before braving actually chewing on the same stick. Nice to have them get along!
Walking along the rocky cliffs of Point Lobos State Reserve I found this window to view Pinnacle Point (sometimes called Pinnacle Rock). The views change here with each step you take. I thought of composing photographs with just the emerald green water and the rock, but felt the presence of these Monterey cypress trees belonging in the composition.
One other thing which caught my eye - if you look closely at the twisted branches and buttressed trunk you will see a deep orange, velvety lichen. This lichen coexists with the cypress trees here using the tree merely as a roost rather than pulling nourishment and ultimately harming the tree.
mmmmm,
height - is the one for me
it gives me all i need
and helps me coexist
with the chill
you make me sick
because i adore you so
i love all the dirty tricks
and twisted games you play
on me
space dementia in your eyes and
peace will arise
and, tear us apart
and make us meaningless again
mmmm, yeah
you'll make us wanna die
i'd cut your name in my heart
we'll destroy this world for you
i know you want me to
feel your pain
space dementia in your eyes and
peace will arise
and tear us apart
and make us meaningless again
ooooh . . .
Meteora está situada en la llanura de Tesalia, en las proximidades de Kalambaka y Kastráki, significa "Rocas en el Aire" y si algo nos sorprende más que las impresionantes formaciones rocosas son los monasterios que coronan algunos de los peñascos.
Estos monasterios bizantinos se construyeron entre los siglos XIV y XVI, aunque ya en el siglo IX monjes ascetas habitaron sus huecos y cuevas. Llegaron a coexistir más de 24 , un gran número de ellos fueron destruidos o arruinados en la 2ª Guerra Mundial. Actualmente sólo 6 están uso.
Este bosque de rocas inmensas, mágico, místico y misterioso fue declarado Patrimonio de Humanidad por la UNESCO en 1988.

It breaks from conventional wisdom to consider a bustling city thoroughfare to be a domain for freight diesel locomotives. A 184-ton hunk of steel seems out of place rolling mere feet from the front porch steps of dwellings and mere inches from the front bumper of your automobile, obeying traffic signals and sharing the pavement with confused drivers just trying to make their way across town. But such an atypical situation has been a typical facet of life in Michigan City, IN, since 1908, when the Chicago, South Shore, and South Bend interurban railroad claimed its stake smack-dab in the middle of downtown streets. Michigan City grew with the railroad and they have coexisted quite literally through a shared corridor stretching 1.8 miles down 10th and 11th Streets for the past 114 years. The CSS&SB and its successor NICTD have modernized their transit network over the course of time and freight business for contract operator Chicago South Shore has blossomed, but the iconic street running has remained maintained but largely unchanged since its inception. The buried flangeways in 10th and 11th have endured long after most of their comparable street running tracks across the nation--a signature staple of interurban railroading--were ripped up in the early years of the previous century.
On February 6, 2022, CSS's pair of SD38-2s made a late afternoon departure from the Carroll Street shops and headed west through the streets of Michigan City, sending the echoes of horn blasts reverberating off residential structures as motorists hugged the curbs tightly for cover. A normal Saturday scene perhaps, save for the fact that this occasion was anything but normal, as come Monday the street would be closed, vehicular traffic detoured onto parallel routes, and interurban traffic temporarily suspended through Michigan City in favor of busses. The culprit: capacity improvements and an emphasis on public safety under the guise of a $500 million double-track project. Freight traffic will continue mostly-nocturnal operations as construction phasing plays out over the coming weeks, but 11th Street's nostalgia will be permanently lost as work commences to reconfigure the corridor to host separated two main tracks and one-way road through downtown Michigan City. Safety and efficiency will come undoubtedly, as will the comfort and ease for residents, commuters, and motorists who use this street regularly, but the cost will come at the expense of a historical landmark that harkens back to traditions of a forgotten era in railroading history.
Remarkably, the South Shore Line has defied the odds and greatly outlasted its electric railroad counterparts that essentially all evaporated well over a half-century ago. But for it to continue to thrive as a viable and competitive transit option built for the 21st Century, its signature attraction at the heart of Michigan City must be sacrificed. So while "The Last Interurban" prepares to write the next chapter in its lasting history, we watch as these two SD38s rumble down unadulterated 11th Street for one of the final times and take with them the memories of 114 years into the setting sun.
This dramatic photograph captures Southwark Bridge silhouetted against a fiery sunset sky in London. The bridge’s green iron arches and ornate lamp posts stand boldly in contrast to the swirling orange and black clouds above. To the right, the sharp spire of The Shard pierces the skyline, adding a modern touch to the historic scene. The overall mood evokes both the grandeur and the ever-changing character of London, where history and innovation coexist in striking harmony.
Thank you for 'clicking' for a closer look. You never know what you will see or how it will greet you at Circle B Bar Reserve near Lakeland, Florida. I came upon this scene rather quickly and had to snap it before it evaporated. The Sandhill Cranes frequently show off their young and appear to realize that people are not a threat to them . . . hopefully vandals will not betray that trust.
yes, I had Michelangelo in mind....... hahaha!

Plaza Mayor, Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
La Plaza Mayor de Cuenca es un espacio urbano lleno de encanto organizado de forma irregular, casi como un trapecio. Las coloridas fachadas de varias de las casas conviven con el barroco y elegante Ayuntamiento del siglo XVIII, obra de Jaime Bort levantado sobre tres airosos arcos de medio punto. Notable también es el Convento de las Petras, con una hermosa iglesia en su interior, y fechado entre los siglos XVI y XVIII. No obstante, la gran protagonista de esta plaza es la Catedral de Cuenca: una auténtica joya. Su curiosa fachada neogótica da paso a un edificio que empezó a construirse en el siglo XII y fue la primera seo gótica de Castilla. Desde un románico tardío hasta el arte abstracto de sus vidrieras es un muestrario de la belleza de la Historia del Arte. Destaca su original triforio lleno de ángeles impertérritos salvo uno que está sonriente, el renacentista y audaz Arco de Jamete, el Altar Mayor de Ventura Rodríguez y un largo etcétera de pinturas, esculturas y relieves geniales repartidos por decenas de capillas.
The Plaza Mayor of Cuenca is an urban space full of charm organized irregularly, almost like a trapezoid. The colorful façades of several of the houses coexist with the baroque and elegant 18th century Town Hall, the work of Jaime Bort built on three graceful semicircular arches. Also notable is the Convent of Las Petras, with a beautiful church inside, and dated between the 16th and 18th centuries. However, the great protagonist of this square is the Cathedral of Cuenca: an authentic jewel. Its curious neo-Gothic façade gives way to a building that began to be built in the 12th century and was the first Gothic seo in Castile. From a late Romanesque to the abstract art of its stained glass windows, it is a sample of the beauty of Art History. Its original clerestory full of undaunted angels stands out except for one that is smiling, the Renaissance and audacious Arco de Jamete, the High Altar by Ventura Rodríguez and a long list of paintings, sculptures and great reliefs spread over dozens of chapels.
Artsville is today opening their doors to a lovely new double gallery after a longer break for rebuild.
I am back as an exposing artist again after a 5 year break with the theme, inspired by my little companion, my butterfly, my mariposa, my farfalla, my sommerfugl...
“Light enough to land”
In this series of ten photographs, the little black and white butterfly becomes both a mirror and a symbol — a fragile creature suspended between strength and dissolution.
Each image captures a fleeting moment where light and shadow, movement and stillness, existence and disappearance coexist.
Through titles such as Brittle, Gossamer, Exquisite, and Breakable, this collection speaks to the paradox of being so delicate and yet enduring — of how beauty often lives on the edge of loss and danger.
The butterfly, monochrome but yet alive, reflects the very essence of human experience: our resilience within fragility, our grace within impermanence.
This little exhibition invites the viewer to linger in the in-between — where the ephemeral becomes eternal, and where vulnerability reveals its quiet yet beautiful strength.
Please join us at SL hours, 1 pm together also with Christian Carter, who exposes next to me.
Love
Cecilia ♥

Île de May - Ecosse
L’île de May est un havre de paix pour la vie sauvage en Écosse, un sanctuaire pour les oiseaux qui s’y réunissent chaque année, dont des milliers de macareux moines (environ 92000).
Sans aucune prédateur sur l’île pour nuire à leur développement (sauf les prédations sur les poussins par les Goélands), ce sont plus de 285 espèces d’oiseaux qui cohabitent ici.
C’est ce qui lui vaut son statut de Réserve Naturelle Nationale d’Écosse depuis 1956.
En haute saison, au cœur de la période de reproduction, l’île de May peut accueillir plus de 200 000 oiseaux !
(D'après www.charlyfaraway.com/ile-de-may-macareux/)
The island of May is a haven for wildlife in Scotland, a sanctuary for the birds that gather there every year, including thousands of puffins (about 92000).
Without any predator on the island to harm their development (except for predation on chicks by gulls), there are more than 285 species of birds that coexist here.
This is what has earned it its status as a Scottish National Nature Reserve since 1956.
In high season, at the heart of the breeding period, the island of May can accommodate more than 200,000 birds!

My theory, based on pure speculation, is that Coopers Hawk hatchlings in our township grow up in the same trees that squirrels nest in and they do not recognize them as prey, but as neighbors😄. Seriously, though, in our backyard for three years now, we have seen young hawks and squirrels seeming to coexist. An adult Coopers took a chipmunk last year, but I have yet to see one go after a squirrel.

For anyone familiar with Theodore Wirth Park, two railroad quietly coexist with the park's expanse on the western edge of Minneapolis and eastern extent of Golden Valley. Every once and a while a short local on the Union Pacific works the western suburbs while the Monticello Local travels through heading to Osseo and Albertville.
I scoped out this spot years ago and put it in my "Some Day..." list of hopeful photo locations. When I saw the Monti had a route from Northtown Yard to Lyndale Junction, I had to go for it. BNSF 2648 has a full cab with crew members paired with 558 as it passes under Theodore Wirth Parkway. A rock with a 45th Parallel marker sits just to the east along the parkway. For the coordinate nerds, the marker is a hair off, but extremely close in any case.
The Chough has a striking long red bill and distinctive shrill call, and feeds on insects in farmland, typically coexisting alongside grazing animals.
Historically, Choughs inhabited several areas of Jersey’s coastline, however changing agricultural practices, especially the abandonment of marginal farmland, led to local extinction sometime around 1900. A similar pattern of local extinction was also recorded in all the other Channel Islands, with the last attempted breeding thought to have occurred in Guernsey in 1929.
The story of decline has been similar across the United Kingdom, and it is thought that there are currently less than 500 pairs of this rare bird in all of the UK and the Isle of Man.
Today, the nearest Chough populations to Jersey are in Brittany, where there are around 50 pairs, Cornwall, where the species appears to be doing well since naturally re-colonising in 2001, and on the Gower Peninsula and Pembrokeshire in Wales.

Thousands of candles are thrown into the blazing fire.
The whole event is a strange Mise-en-scène in which religious piety coexists with aesthetics of dirt and neglect.
What is prominently present is a cynical practice of constant fundraising.

Enjoying a little dead weed flower for breakfast! LOL And of course the weed grows in my vegetable garden. Did I remove it? No. The ant and weed coexist happily.
Solarpunk is a subgenre of speculative fiction that imagines a future where humans coexist harmoniously with nature and technology, integrating them seamlessly into the environment. However, the small mountain town featured in the Solar Punk Series paints a slightly different picture, portraying a sleepy locale largely untouched by historical change, with the exception of the thriving and abundant wildlife that now permeates the surroundings.
