This shot of the Berschnerfall is technically not so good, as I was out walking without a tripod and the light was extremely poor. However, it's the first shot of our local water feature, so there you have it.

For those of you who have often been "approached by Security," here is your LOL for the day! I took one snap of these rafts in front of a local tourist store. Instantly, two men (managers?) leaving the store, three feet from my face, are asking, "Can I help you? What do you want?" Innocently, "I am a tourist and these colors and lines are so pretty; I just wanted to take a picture." Forcefully, "You can't do that! It's against company policy. You can't do that!" Grrrrrr, what IS the problem! So, I smile and reply, "Oh well, I respect that!" I leave. I grit my teeth and drive away and think, "I should have simply stepped 12 feet off the property onto the sidewalk and used my zoom and said, "Nanny, nanny, boo, boo!" High security inflated rafts???? Go figure! =))

I personally liked this Foto that much, that I have a print of it in the european A1 size.. =about: 91 x 61 cm.
Der Rotmilan (Milvus milvus), auch Roter Milan, Gabelweihe oder Königsweihe genannt, ist eine etwa mäusebussardgroße Greifvogelart aus der Familie der Habichtartigen (Accipitridae).
Im Gegensatz zum nahe verwandten, geringfügig kleineren Schwarzmilan, ist seine Verbreitung im Wesentlichen auf Europa beschränkt. Über 50 Prozent des Gesamtbestandes dieser Art brütet in Deutschland. Zurzeit werden keine Unterarten anerkannt. Die am Rande des Aussterbens stehenden Milane der Kapverden wurden früher als Unterart des Rotmilans aufgefasst (M. m. fasciicauda), gelten aber heute mehrheitlich als eigenständige Art (Milvus fasciicauda).
Der Rotmilan ist eine gut bestimmbare Greifvogelart. Verwechselt werden könnte er am ehesten mit dem Schwarzmilan, doch sind auch zu dieser nahe verwandten Milanart gute Unterscheidungsmerkmale gegeben.
Der Rotmilan ist größer als ein Mäusebussard und etwas größer als der Schwarzmilan; er ist ausgesprochen langflügelig und langschwänzig. Der sitzende Vogel wirkt rötlichbraun, wobei eine deutlich hellere, meist ockerfarbene Federsäumung vor allem der Deckfedern des Oberflügels und des Rückengefieders einen kontrastreichen Gesamteindruck vermittelt. Das Kopf-, Nacken- und Kehlgefieder erwachsener Rotmilane ist sehr hell, fast weiß, und weist auffallende schwarze Federnschäfte auf, die diese Körperpartien schwarz gestrichelt erscheinen lassen. Der ziemlich kräftige Schnabel ist an der Basis gelb, am Schnabelhaken dunkelgrau oder schwarz. Die kurzen Beine sind gelb, die Krallen ziemlich schwarz. Die Iris erwachsener Vögel ist blassgelb. Das deutlich schwarz längsgestrichelte Bauchgefieder ist etwas heller und leuchtender rötlichbraun als das Rückengefieder; ebenso gefärbt sind die Unterflügeldeckfedern. Die Arm- und Handschwingen sind an ihren Enden sehr dunkel, fast schwarz.
Rotmilan im SegelflugIm Flug fallen vor allem die langen, relativ schmalen Flügel und der tief gegabelte, rostrote Schwanz auf, der immer in Bewegung ist und auch voll gefächert eine erkennbare Kerbung aufweist. In der Oberansicht kontrastieren die schwarzen Arm- und Handschwingen stark mit dem übrigen, rötlichbraunen Gefieder. Noch kontrastreicher ist das Flugbild von unten, da die Basen der Handschwingen weiß sind und so ein ausgedehntes weißes Flügelfeld bilden und im Flügelbug meist ein schwarzes Abzeichen zu erkennen ist. Die äußersten, tief gefingerten Handschwingen sind in ihrem letzten Drittel schwarz. Im Segelflug sind die Armschwingen leicht über die Horizontale angehoben, die Handschwingen jedoch gerade oder leicht gesenkt, was ein erkennbar geknicktes Flügelprofil ergibt. Die Flügel sind in fast jeder Flugposition im Carpalgelenk deutlich gewinkelt.
Die Geschlechter unterscheiden sich in der Färbung nicht, auch das Jugendgefieder ähnelt stark dem Erwachsenenkleid. Bestes, und bei sehr gutem Licht auch feldornithologisch brauchbares Bestimmungsmerkmal juveniler Individuen, ist der mehr sandfarbene, nicht hellgrauweiße Kopf und das eher gesprenkelt (nicht längsgestrichelt) wirkende, mehr blass rötlichbraune Bauchgefieder. Bei ganz jungen flüggen Rotmilanen kann der Schwanz am äußersten Rand noch eine Rundung aufweisen, da die äußersten Steuerfedern noch nicht ihre volle Länge erreicht haben.
Der reverse Geschlechtsdimorphismus ist beim Rotmilan ähnlich wie beim Schwarzmilan in Bezug auf die Körpergröße nicht sehr deutlich, etwas ausgeprägter jedoch in Bezug auf das Körpergewicht. Die schwersten Männchen haben ein Gewicht von 1,1 Kilogramm; im Durchschnitt liegt das Gewicht etwas unter einem Kilogramm. Die schwersten Weibchen wiegen 1,4 Kilogramm, das Mittel liegt bei 1,2 Kilogramm. Die Körperlänge variiert zwischen 60 und 73 Zentimeter, wovon zwischen 31 und 39 Zentimeter auf den Schwanz entfallen. Die Spannweite beträgt 150 bis 171 Zentimeter.
The Red Kite (Milvus milvus) is a medium-large bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as eagles, buzzards and harriers. The species is currently endemic to the Western Palearctic region in Europe and northwest Africa, though formerly also occurred just outside in northern Iran.[2] It is a rare species which is resident in the milder parts of its range in western Europe and northwest Africa, but birds from northeastern and central Europe winter further south and west, reaching south to Turkey. Vagrants have reached north to Finland and south to Israel and Libya.[2]
This species was first described by Linnaeus in his Systema naturae in 1758 as Falco milvus.[3]
The Red Kite has been known to successfully hybridize with the Black Kite in captivity where both species were kept together, and in the wild on the Cape Verde Islands.[4] The Red Kites on the Cape Verde Islands are (or rather were) quite distinct in morphology, being somewhat intermediate with Black Kites. The question whether the Cape Verde Kite should be considered a distinct species (Milvus fasciicauda) or a Red Kite subspecies was never really settled. A recent mtDNA study on museum specimens suggests that Cape Verde birds did not form a monophyletic lineage among or next to Red Kites.[5]
However, this interpretation is problematic: mtDNA analysis is very susceptible to hybridization events, the evolutionary history of the Cape Verde population is not known, and the genetic relationship of Red Kites in general is very confusing, with geographical proximity being no indicator of genetic relatedness and the overall genetic similarity high,[6] perhaps indicating a relict species.
Given the morphological distinctness of the Cape Verde birds and the fact that the Cape Verde population was isolated from other populations of Red Kites, it cannot be conclusively resolved at this time whether the Cape Verde population was not a distinct subspecies (as M. migrans fasciicauda) or even species that frequently absorbed stragglers from the migrating European populations into its gene pool. More research seems warranted, but at any rate the Cape Verde population is effectively extinct since 2000, all surviving birds being hybrids with Black Kites (which merely raises further questions about their taxonomic status).[5]
The Red Kite is 60–66 cm (24-27 in) long with a 175–195 cm wingspan; males have a weight of 800–1200 g, and females 1000–1300 g.[2] It is an elegant bird, soaring with long wings held at a dihedral, and long forked tail twisting as it changes direction. The body, upper tail and wing coverts are rufous. The white primary flight feathers contrast with the black wing tips and dark secondaries. Apart from the weight difference, the sexes are similar, but juveniles have a buff breast and belly. The call is a thin piping, similar to but less mewling than the Common Buzzard. There is also a rare white leucistic form which accounts for approximately 1% of hatchlings in the Welsh poulation but is at a disadvantage in the survival stakes.[7]
[edit] Differences between adults and juveniles
Adults differ from juveniles in a number of characteristics:
Adults are overall more deeply rufous, compared with the more washed out colour of juveniles;
Adults have black breast-streaks whereas on juveniles these are pale;
Juveniles have a less deeply-forked tail, with a dark subterminal band;
Juveniles have pale tips to all of the greater-coverts (secondary and primary) on both the upper- and under-wings, forming a long narrow pale line; adults have pale fringes to upperwing secondary-coverts only.
These differences hold throughout most of the first year of a bird's life.

...This looks like about as good of a place as any to begin a creek excursion down through Deep Gap, wouldn't you agree? This is Forestry Rd 274 at the intersection of Canada Creek Rd in Suches, Georgia.
Just a quick iphone snap pf the sweet yummy pie I had the opportunity to taste for the first time yesterday while traveling to Chicago. We got this delicacy from Pizzeria Uno, and they claim to have invented the deep dish pizza. It was definitely good, but not what I expected at all. The crust is like a quiche, and I was expecting this oversized thick dough. It's not doughy at all, it's really like a pie... kinda dry and flaky, but sweet and yummy.
I would like to share with you this Christmas song by the talented Ukrainian bard and kobzar Vasyl Zhdankin (1958–2019), which he recorded based on a poem by the brilliant poet Bohdan-Ihor Antonych (1909–1937).
The fragment featuring the song is part of the documentary film “My Kobza” (1989), dedicated to the revival of the kobzar tradition in Ukraine — a tradition that suffered total destruction under Soviet rule. Kobzars were itinerant musicians (usually blind, accompanied by a young guide) who for centuries traveled between Ukrainian villages, introducing people to various forms of folklore, including 'dumy' - songs about historical events, Cossack songs, and more.
Vasyl Zhdankin was one of the enthusiasts of this cultural revival, although his kobza was somewhat modernized and tuned similarly to a modern six-string guitar. Zhdankin was the first person to publicly perform the song “Ukraine Has Not Yet Perished” (our current official national anthem), doing so at the Chervona Ruta festival in Chernivtsi in the summer of 1989. It was still the USSR at the time, and this act was quite courageous.
He was also a deeply religious man, which is why spiritual songs make up a significant part of his artistic legacy. Sadly, the renowned bard died in a car accident in 2019.
The brilliant poet Bohdan-Ihor Antonych lived a short life — he was weakened by tuberculosis, which at that time could not yet be treated effectively. Nevertheless, the final years of his life were marked by an extraordinary creative output, mainly lyrical in nature. He came from Lemkivshchyna, an ethnic Ukrainian mountainous region that today is divided between Poland and Slovakia.
The song is symbolic, since we all know that Jesus was born in Bethlehem. I believe Antonych wanted to bring this event closer to local people — to his fellow countrymen and to their traditions.
I would also like to note that in Ukraine, until 2023, Christmas was officially celebrated on January 7. Immediately after the Baptism of Rus’ in 988, the feast was celebrated on December 25 according to the Julian calendar. In 1582, Europe switched to a new calendar — the Gregorian one — but the Orthodox Church of Rus’ (Ukrainian) remained on the Julian calendar.
Muscovy also stayed on the Julian calendar — not only the Church, but the entire state system of timekeeping — as did the Russian Empire later on. In 1918, the Bolsheviks finally adopted the Gregorian calendar, but the Church did not recognize this change and continued to celebrate Christmas according to the Julian calendar (that is, December 25 in the Julian calendar falls on January 7 in the Gregorian calendar).
And now, in 2023, due to the war and for reasons that are more political than religious, the Ukrainian parliament decided that Christmas would be officially celebrated together with Europe. However, ordinary people celebrate it in different ways: some according to the new calendar, some according to the old one, some celebrate both, and some do not celebrate at all.
Since Flickr provides only three minutes for free, the end of the song was slightly cut. At the end, Zhdankin proclaims: “Christ is born — let us glorify Him!” In Ukraine, Orthodox Christians greet each other in this way, and on the eve of Christmas they say when meeting: “Christ is being born!”

The eye gets lost in the mouth of this blue bottle, like a glass tunnel leading to the heart of color. The blurred background multiplies warm reflections and enhances the contrast with the glass, creating an abstract and vibrant image. Sometimes, the ordinary becomes art through a simple lens.
