I read somewhere that if a bird gathers your hair for nesting it is bad luck, or you will go insane. Nature lover that I am, I have always given bits from the dryer and such to the birds to take for their nests. This explains a lot of things... :-)
Red Gum. Eucalyptus camaldulensis
Plant
The River Red gum is a tree of the genus Eucalyptus. It is one of around 800 in the genus. It is a plantation species in many parts of the world, but is native to Australia, where it is widespread, especially beside inland water courses. Wikipedia

From Golfito. The yellow trees are a Tabebuia species. Flowering in late December, about at the start of the dry season. It looks from other photos as if they bloom before leafing out.

I take several longish walks a day these days. The first is usually early morning or mid-morning. The second might be late afternoon or after dinner. This morning's walk began from home at 6:15 AM and this photograph was taken a little past the halfway point. Here I just liked the red-on-green and the dappled light – a photograph of light as I suppose all photographs are.
I’ve always enjoyed walking, and it has been a common form of exercise for me for years, even if during most of those years these were not particularly as long of walks as I’m doing today. By long walks, I mean typically 12-15k steps per walk, or 24-30k steps a day. Most of the tracking apps consider roughly 2100 steps are taken per mile, so we’re talking 10-15 miles per day.

About a week ago, we finally transitioned to summer weather in Seattle after an especially long, cool and damp winterspring, which is what I call the season from November until at least May. And since then, I’ve been stepping up the pace after a two week lull in the weight loss plan in mid-June.
This means longer walks and earlier starts. I’ve been enjoying both and the weight loss has resumed. After two long years of COVID and two winters in between I had picked up some weight. Several surgeries in that period hampered my walks for long periods as well.
But it seems most of that is behind me, and as of this morning, I’ve lost almost 42 lbs. since March 5. I’ve been in the mid-170s for the past week and probably haven’t seen that weight since the 1980s and maybe the early 80s at that.
My revised goal in late May was to hit 180 lbs by June 30, and 175 by July 31. This morning – July 1 – I weighed in at 175 lbs. My new goal for the end of July is 172 where I hope to stay put through at least October.

Stepping up the pace and the nicer weather meant the walks emphasized exercise over photography, so the only camera I’m bringing along these days is my 6 y.o. iPhone in my shorts pocket.
I’ve never much cared for the ergonomics of cell phone photography. I think it is awkward at best and prone to accidents. Though I rarely drop my phone, it is so small, thin and slippery – it always feels as thought it’s ready to slip from my hand while taking photographs. On the other hand, cell phone cameras have come a long way and even this older, original 5SE model takes terrific photographs, certainly well enough for web work.

This Autostitch composite shot was assembled from three photos taken from a vantage point in front of the sun-dappled Ferrari Mondial t cabriolet that I spotted near Preston Street in Ottawa's Little Italy area on Thursday afternoon.
There are various Natural Resources Canada buildings in the background. The massive one in the rear is the Booth Street Complex including the headquarters of the Geological Survey of Canada (at 601 Booth Street) and the National Resources Canada Earth Sciences Library (at 615 Booth Street), and the smaller brown buildings in front of the Booth Street Complex house the CANMET Materials Technology Laboratory. Sounds like a cool place to visit if you're interested in geology, mineralogy, earth sciences or the environment.
A monochrome tapestry of nature, this photograph showcases the intricate layers of leaves and branches with dappled light filtering through the canopy. The varied textures and shapes of the foliage create a rich interplay of light and shadow, offering a serene yet dynamic scene. The complexity of the natural network above forms a peaceful retreat from the bustle of life below.

This is one of the most fragrant rhododendrons at the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens. This variety has a sweet fruity aroma.
This painting is currently on display at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art in Marietta, Georgia. It was juried into the museum’s annual juried exhibition: Metro Montage XVIII. Metro Montage began 2000 as an Atlanta area juried show, but is now attracting artists from all over the United States. The 2018 show is really very worthwhile and runs into early September.
The artist, Gail Wegodsky, is from Sandy Springs, Georgia. The painting is an oil on linen. Ms. Wedgodsky has appeared in several previous Metro Montage juried exhibitions. The subject in this work sits near a pond on nearby Kennesaw Mountain. She holds an object, not a phone, that the artist asks us to interpret for ourselves.

This is an Autostitch composite shot of the sun-dappled Ferrari Mondial t cabriolet that I spotted yesterday composed of four individual shots that I took by holding the camera over my head, tilting down, and rotating left.
From this angle, it looks rather diminutive, almost like a large-scale model rather than a full-sized Ferrari.
You can see the Canadian government's Sir William Logan Building in the background at the left of the shot.
I walked past this room one morning recently and it made me smile. This is the spare room where Trystan and Deklan sleep when they are here. First, I smiled at the sun dappling on the bed through the maple trees, it looked so pretty. Next, I took in the contents of the side table. Maybe a little pretty-ish for boys but there is evidence of their presence: the transistor radio (which is mine) unearthed and claimed by Trystan. The books: Snoozers for Dek, Howard's End for me (which I'm just leafing through) and an Archie Digest for Trys. Ya, this room makes me smile.

Outside our great grandfather's condo today, I took a brief photo walk with my favorite, swishy skirt!!

Sorry everyone, I've got way, way behind, but I think I snapped something each week.
When there is space for trees to flourish, broad crowns do abound that soak up light and create boughs that reach and twist with delightful angular abandon.Antony NT, Cornwall

It's always interesting to see how other people have used textures
Thanks : )
Periodically I travel the Hyde Rd. In Jay, Maine. It is a twisty, scenic route. As one goes around a bend in the road this scene unfolds."Beauty In The Dappled Light" captures the sunlight streaming through brilliant autumn leaves creating a dappled pattern on the roadway. This photo, by Joy Nichols, was edited to give a painterly effect.
