Little compares to the astonishing and piercing stare of a Short-eared Owl! Bright yellow eyes, set in black which seem kohl-rimmed and a bird not afraid to stare at you, whilst sitting in the open during the day.
The bird is named after two small feather tufts on the top of its head, which look like ears (although the bird’s real ears are hidden away on the side of the head, covered in the head feathers), but most of the time these are not visible as they are held flat to the head. (Hawk and Owl Trust).
My thanks to anyone who views, faves or comments on any of my photos. It is much appreciated.
Compared with the little rustic church at Myndtown (next picture), the Church of St Laurence in Church Stretton seems like a rather grand building.The impressive Grade I-listed church dates from the 12th century though an earlier Anglo-Saxon wooden church may have stood on this site. Like many old English churches there have been substantial alterations and extensions over the years. The nave of the church dates from the 12th century, and the transepts from the following century. The chancel and the upper stage of the tower are from the 15th century. The south vestry was added in 1831, and west aisles were added to the transepts during a restoration by S. Pountney Smith in 1867–68. There were further restorations in 1882 and in 1932.

On peut le comparer à cette pierre si rare,
Dont la couleur dépend des effets de lumière,
Ou à Ces statuettes vendues dans les foires,
Annonçant, bleues ou roses, le temps qu’il devrait faire.
Ses reflets ont parfois le blanc de l’innocence,
D’une étendue de neige au lever du soleil,
De la candeur intacte, qui est propre à l’enfance,
De la virginité d’une vie en éveil.
Sa lueur peut se faire aussi noire que la nuit,
Profonde et ténébreuse, aux instants de détresse,
Elle est quelquefois grise comme un jour de pluie,
Aux heures de solitude, d’ennui et de tristesse.
Il a de temps en temps le bleu de l’océan,
Ou d’un ciel sans nuages, propice aux rêveries,
Un bleu calme, infini, limpide et reposant,
Comme ces quelques trêves, offertes par la vie.
Il peut devenir rouge, de colère ou de sang,
Ou rouge de passion, brûlant comme la braise.
Il se teinte d’un vert presque phosphorescent,
Quand l'espoir apparait ; que les doutes se taisent.
Il peut briller de rose quand naît le romantisme,
Scintiller du violet de la délicatesse,
Étinceler de jaune ; empreinte d’égoïsme,
Ou flamboyer d’orange aux moments d’allégresse.
Mais quel est ce mystère aux teintes volatiles ?
Est-ce un jeu de lumière ? Est-ce un caméléon ?
Non.
C’est le cœur d’une femme aux nuances subtiles,
Dont la couleur varie au rythme des saisons.
Liliane ROSATI
We can compare it to this rare stone,
Whose color depends on light effects,
Or to these statuettes sold at fairs,
Announcing, blue or pink, the weather forecast.
Its reflections sometimes have the white of innocence,
From an expanse of snow at sunrise,
Intact candor, which is proper to childhood,
Of the virginity of an awakening life.
Its glow can turn as dark as night,
Deep and dark, in moments of distress,
She is sometimes gray like a rainy day,
In times of loneliness, boredom and sadness.
It has from time to time the blue of the ocean,
Or of a cloudless sky, conducive to daydreams,
A calm, infinite, limpid and restful blue,
Like these few truces, offered by life.
It can turn red, with anger or blood,
Or red with passion, burning like embers.
It is tinged with an almost phosphorescent green,
When hope appears; let the doubts fall away.
It can shine rosy when romanticism is born,
Sparkle with the violet of delicacy,
Sparkle with yellow; imprint of selfishness,
Or blaze orange in moments of joy.
But what is this volatile-hued mystery?
Is it a play of light? Is it a chameleon?
No.
It is the heart of a woman with subtle nuances,
Whose color varies with the seasons.
Une femme est comme un arc-en-ciel... elle donne à la vie ses couleurs lumineuses. Bonne fête à vous toutes et merci de mettre autant d'éclat et de douceur dans nos vies.
A woman is like a rainbow... she gives life its luminous colors. Happy holliday to all of you and thank you for bringing so much brilliance and sweetness into our lives.

Compared to the Blackburn Type 'D' from 1912, of which only one was ever built, the Avro 504 was a roaring success, with over 11,000 constructed between 1913 and 1932. The Avro 504 was the most produced aircraft of any type in WW1.
The 'K' model dates from late in WW1 where the type was mainly used as a trainer (note the second seat in front of the pilot), but some were fitted with guns on the top wing, as shown here, and used for home defence. Compared to the sedate performance of the types dating from just a year or two earlier, the Avro 504 sparkled.
The aircraft in the picture is a genuine survivor from 1918 - well over 100 years old and is still very sprightly. A key identification aid for the Avro 504, is the single, central skid, sometimes referred to as a 'toothpick'.
The penultimate picture in my series of very old aircraft, this Avro 504K is owned and flown by the Shuttleworth Collection, based at Old Warden aerodrome near Bedford, England.
President Trump has belittled and mocked the UK Prime Minister publicly, comparing him, deeply unfavourably, with the UK's most celebrated wartime leader, Winston Churchill.
Well Donald trump does seem to be like the British weather - -
America currently has a president whose language and outlook can change in minutes.
And in the end (as always) it will be about oil, gas and money.
Throughout human history it has always been about the things that control power in its most general meaning.

Felt like a long time since I made these simpler figures but I gotta say it is really nice how quick they are done compared to more complex figures. The paintjob youbsee here took a little less than 2 hours.
In case you didn't know I love young justice I think it is one of the best animated shows ever. So I felt weird not having good customs of the team (aset from arsenal)
UPDATES ON FUTURE CUSTOMS:
My captain Rex figure is still done. The reason I don't post him right away is because I have no idea how long it will take for me with the next complex figure after that so I'm holding on for now. I have yet to decide what character I wanna make from episode 3 however my rebels custom is about done.
On this Christmas Day, I bring you my favorite, a Eurasian Wigeon Drake in eclipse plumage. I am always fascinated by the process by which ducks molt their feathers in two successive waves, and this handsome guy is really a stunner. Compare the dorsal, side and tail plumage with the breeding plumage of the Wigeon Drake I posted yesterday.
Very content at the exquisite Suizenji Jojuen gardens, Kumamoto, Kyushu.
“The Kerala backwaters are a network of brackish lagoons and canals lying parallel to the Arabian Sea of the Malabar coast of Kerala state in south-western India. It also includes interconnected lakes, rivers, and inlets, a labyrinthine system formed by more than 900 km of waterways, and sometimes compared to bayous. The network includes five large lakes linked by canals, both man made and natural, fed by 38 rivers, and extending virtually half the length of Kerala state. The backwaters were formed by the action of waves and shore currents creating low barrier islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western Ghats range. In the midst of this landscape there are a number of towns and cities, which serve as the starting and end points of backwater cruises. There are 34 backwaters in Kerala. Out of it, 27 are located either closer to Arabian Sea or parallel to the sea. The remaining 7 are inland navigation routes.
The backwaters have a unique ecosystem: freshwater from the rivers meets the seawater from the Arabian Sea. A barrage has been built near Thanneermukkom, so salt water from the sea is prevented from entering the deep inside, keeping the fresh water intact. Such fresh water is extensively used for irrigation purposes. Many unique species of aquatic life including crabs, frogs and mudskippers, water birds such as terns, kingfishers, darters and cormorants, and animals such as otters and turtles live in and alongside the backwaters. Palm trees, pandanus shrubs, various leafy plants, and bushes grow alongside the backwaters, providing a green hue to the surrounding landscape.”
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
There is a large herd of about 50 or more deer on the Lagoon Creek reserve.
Deer – Chital
Scientific name - Cervus axis
Other common names - Chital deer, Axis deer, Indian spotted deer.
Origin - India, Nepal and Sri Lanka
Distinctive characteristics - White throat patch and white spots. Dark dorsal stripe and band over muzzle. Noticeably long tail compared with other deer species.
Identification - Feral chital deer are a small-medium sized species. Their coat colour is variable, but is often dark to rusty red with uniformly marked white spots in lines along the body. They have a distinctive white throat patch and a dark muzzle. The coat colour of the inner legs and underside of the belly is white-beige. This species is often found in medium to large groups. Mature males have antlers that are smooth and slender with usually three tines on each, though the number of tines is influenced by animal condition. Antlers may be 70-89 cm in length. Males are larger in size and weight (90 cm and 85 kg) than females (80cm and 60 kg). Chital have a distinctive high-pitch alarm call when disturbed. Scats are small cylindrical pellets sometimes with an indentation at one end.
History and Biology - Chital deer were initially introduced to Australia from Sri Lanka and India in 1802 but did not survive. They were later successfully released into Queensland in the 1860's. Chital deer are herbivores that browse on a variety of grasses, fruit and leaves. They are gregarious and can form groups of more than 100 individuals. They do not have a defined breeding season, and are capable of producing three offspring in two years. Chital deer will eat their shed antlers if their diet is lacking the vitamins and minerals. Females will separate from the herd during birthing and rearing of young.
Distribution - Feral chital deer occur in many areas throughout Queensland, small areas in NSW, Victoria and the south-east of South Australia. They are absent from other regions.
Habitat - They can be found in a variety of habitats, including open grasslands, open and closed woodlands, thick forests and heavily timbered farmland.
Damage - Feral chital deer are a growing pest threat. They can cause significant browsing damage to native vegetation, damage sensitive habitats and compete with livestock for pasture. They can damage forestry plantations and ornamental gardens. They are not often found in close proximity to humans but they do present a serious motorway hazard. Feral chital deer may carry and spread livestock diseases that can cause production losses and increased management costs.

Compared to last year, there are not many large spiders around, this is the only Wasp Spider I’ve seen this year and its the same for the other common species the Banded Garden Spider. This one was in quite an awkward position so couldn’t get the camera low enough to match the angle of the spider in the web.
Best viewed very large.

Church neighbors near the Berkeley campus.
When the Berkeley campus was established, in the the late 19th century, various Protestant denominations rushed to acquire property on adjacent streets, and new church buildings were quickly erected. Some are thriving these days, while others have fallen on hard times.
Compare this pale critter with the much browner Black-tailed Prairie Dogs. These guys have a distinctive, vertical dark stripe over their eyes and cheeks.

Blue Hour at Shellcamp Lake
12/19/2023
Canon 60D with Canon 18-135mm IS STM
I bought this setup gently used and wanted to compare it's results to some of my better gear. I was hoping for a proper sunset, but I had to "settle" for an AMAZING sky during blue hour. There was just a hint of sunset color early that quickly vanished.
Still, it was a quite pleasant outing.
Hope you enjoy!

I would like to say this was an intentional inclusion of the man and his dog but in honesty I didn't see him until after taking the shot. I was slightly annoyed but when I compared it to the shot without I preferred this one.
Yes Zoltar, you are correct. I am one of the most handsome men to ever live on planet earth. My intellect is beyond compare and no one can compete with how humble I am. For my dollar I expected more than what I already know. My complaint with you is these so called lucky numbers. While they are numbers I do not feel that are really lucky at all. Based on your ticket I waged two dollars on the lottery. I did not win. I AM NOT HAPPY! So, I believe that you owe me a new Fujifilm XF 10-24 lens. While that is quite a bit less than the $700,000,000 that you cost me, I will settle. By the way, to show my gratitude I will give you a 4 star review on the site of you choice. I will up it to a 5 star if you throw in a new tripod.
Thanks,
Tracy

I have been living in LA for more than two and a half years now and that too very close one of the best outlook points of this amazing city. But since I moved here, I have come to realize how hard is it to photograph Los Angeles. Most of the time you hardly get interesting skies and the thick smog cover make it harder to get a clear shot, compare that with the lack of rainfall and you have some horrific conditions for cityscape photography.
But with all that in mind my best cityscapes have always been of Los Angeles, be it downtown or the view from the stunning Griffiths park observatory. So couple of months ago when it rained and the sky was cloudy I grabbed my gear and went up to the Hollywood bowl overlook which right in my neighborhood. My goal as to get a nice sunset shot from there with some interesting clouds in the sky, but the wind was pretty strong and as usual the clouds disappeared within seconds and I was presented with beautiful clear skies which makes SoCal so famous. So I decided to change plans and get a blue hour shot but soon the winds bought in a layer of haze which was getting thicker by the minute and instead of blue hour we had a purple hour. This is one of the best results for that outing, hope you all like it and have a great July 4th weekend.
At waking the whole world turned out to be white. I went for a long walk. Parts through areas with buildings but Den Haag has quite a few nice forest kind of patches. Here I encountered this couple with their white shepard while it was snowing heavily. He said that compared with the snow the white of the shepard was kind of a dirty colour, but in black and white this doesn't show.
Comparing two cameras. Same bird same perch same lens same cropped image size (2048x1365) different cameras with big difference in price :0)
德化不行商业街. Broad, bright and glitzy. But rather empty, not to say deserted - especially compared to Shanghai's Nanjing Road. Well, it was cold. And the folks of Zhengzhou apparently prefer another part of Dehua Road for shopping.

Marina made quite a notice when comparing the pricing and what you get with your lindens at The Shops. Had to share this.
"OK so yesterday I was helping a Friend to pick a Mesh Avatar, since there are not to many out there I took him to TheShops .
After testing the Free Body I noticed that there are quite some differences compared to the Female Body .
I find it quite Unfair that Men pay the same thing but get less Features then Women, So i figured I would show the difference , which you can see on the Images I took at TheShops..
I am not sure what reason TheShops has to make such a difference in features and Price , but I do think Men should have the same features as the Ladies for the same Price ...."
Compare this to the previous post, which had prairie smoke flowers. After the flowers are pollinated and the seeds are developing, the flowers turn from pendant to upright. When seeds are ready to disperse, long filaments develop, ready to loft the seeds on the next breeze.
At a close view, one can see the petals inside of the sepals and bracts filaments that have not yet elongated.
I shoot RAW...so comparing this photo to the previous one I'd love to know which set of colours/tones do you like most?

It's late afternoon, straight into the sun for me, so more than challenging conditions. But the little owls were active and learning to fly, taking short up-and-down spurts and circles. This one just looks like they're comparing notes on how it's done. Or remarking at one of their siblings' efforts in the air. From the clutch of nine, a couple of months ago.
You Invade My Dreams
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
One of the stars in the sky caught my eye. This star, which is brighter and flashing compared to other stars, attracted my attention more than other stars. I couldn't take my eyes off that bright star. It was as if a bond had formed between me and the star. I started to dream. They were dreams about that bright star. Who knows how many light years away he was from me! I imagined a space traveler who looked at the sky from that star and dreamed like me and was as lonely as me. Just like me, he was alone in this huge vacuum of space. And she/he was searching for himself, just like me, in this eternity. Who knows, maybe that space traveler is luckier than me and is not alone. Maybe I'm the only lonely person in this universe.
Maybe I should stop daydreaming.

Camellia.
This was taken at the end of April while we were taking our first holiday for a couple of years in Cornwall.
The soils are naturally acid there (compared to our limestone) so Camellias, Rhododendrons and Azaleas all flourish. I'd quite forgotten how beautiful they are - there is something about a 60 foot Rhododendron in full flower that is a magnificent overflow to the senses...
Just a quick one for Mittwochsmakro.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Macro Wednesday :)
[Monopod, in daylight.
Developed and processed in Affinity on the iPad. Balancing the colour and tones was really tricky: curves in LAB mode and vibrance adjustments were used. Off-centre crop to add interest; High Pass and USM sharpening; dark vignette.]
Never giving up, still going strong :)
A little study of how PoV changes (perceived) shapes of objects: compare both frontal shots.
