Got a shot of a backyard visitor yesterday... the Lesser Goldfinch. He was eyeballing me while I put some sun flower seeds in the feeder. It was a good morning : )
Lesser Goldfinches are tiny, stub-billed songbirds with long, pointed wings, and short, notched tails. They are most common in California and Texas, with pockets of local populations throughout the rest of its U.S. range. They are quite small in stature, approximately 2.5 inches tall and weigh approximately ½ oz
Lesser Goldfinches feed in weedy fields, budding treetops, and the brush of open areas and edges. Depending on food availability, they may concentrate in mountain canyons and desert oases, but they are also fairly common in suburbs.
These finches primarily eat seeds of plants in the sunflower family, and they occur all the way south to the Peruvian Andes. Listen closely to their wheezy songs, which often include snippets from the songs of other birds.

Female seen here depositing here eggs. Although when both male and female emerge into adults they are both pale green with brown markings with the male later taking on a sky blue abdomen and an green thorax with the female being mainly green. Can be seen on the wing from June to August and sometimes can go beyond September depending on the weather. Can be found widespread and fairly common in Britain and are increasing in numbers in Scotland and Ireland.
Facade of one of the ancient buildings in the Schnoor quarter. This particular building dates to 1631.
The inscription on the lintel reads: "AN GOTTES SEGEN IS ALES GELEGEN 1631" (roughly: "All depends on God's blessing")
The Schnoor quarter is the oldest documented quarter of Bremen and it has largely preserved its medieval character.
First mentioned in the 13th century. The two oldest remaining buildings are from 1401 and 1402 respectively. Some buildings are just remaining facades or have been relocated from other locations.

Another photo from Tokkekøb Hegn, North of Copenhagen on Christmas Day. What I find interesting is how the snow appears different, depending on the light, e.g. compare the last 3 photos I posted.
Have a great weekend all!
I like fun :-)

I had a bit of rare time to try an experiment for Macro Mondays yesterday. The theme is 'Reflection.' Not sure the reflection here is good enough, so I probably won't use this shot, but I had so much fun, I couldn't resist uploading one ahead of time...
(Well, I decided this one was the best of the lot. Feather is just under or just over 2" in it's curled state, depending on how 'loose' the tips are in the breeze etc., which makes this frame barely in the 3" limit. If the moderators want me to crop it more, or upload another, I will comply....).
I sprayed the hood of our vehicle with water, stuck the feather on, hoping to get a clear shot and it wouldn't fly away in the slight afternoon breeze. It was wonderful to see how the image changed depending where one was in the light, the POV and where on the hood it was, as sometimes the reflection of nearby trees added some different colour.
Please don't use this image on websites, blogs, etc. without my permission.

** In general, coneflowers are a symbol of strength and – depending upon the genus – healing. These bright, beautiful blossoms are great to give as gifts as they are versatile, unique and long lasting – surviving nearly two weeks after cutting.

"Le ciel rouge à la fin du jour, du beau temps prédit le retour."
Proverbe cévenol
Le ciel de feu est un phénomène naturel qui peut se produire partout dans le monde, mais certaines zones géographiques sont plus avantagées que d'autres : l'embrasement du ciel dépend de la situation météo et de la composition de l'atmosphère à cet instant précis.
"The red sky at the end of the day, the good weather predicts the return. " Cévennes proverb
The fire sky is a natural phenomenon that can occur anywhere in the world, but some geographical areas are more advantaged than others: the sky's blaze depends on the weather situation and the composition of the atmosphere at that particular moment.

As promised yesterday, or threatened (depending on how you look at it), today is my last photo from Slovenia. And of course I end up where I started, at the beautiful Lake Bled.
I'm curious if and if so when I'll come by here again.
Wie gestern versprochen, oder angedroht (je nachdem wie man es sieht) kommt heute mein vorerst letztes Foto aus Slowenien. Und natürlich ende ich dort, wo ich auch angefangen habe, am wunderschönen Bleder See.
Ich bin gespannt, ob und wenn ja wann ich hier noch einmal vorbei komme.

These breakwaters can be found on almost all beaches in Zeeland. They are wooden piles on an embankment made of stones and boulders, also called pile heads. Depending on the ebb and flow, the piles are completely or half submerged.
American Tree Sparrow perched in a dried out Common Burdock in the backyard in Timmins in the Township of Mountjoy in the City of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario Canada
The American Tree Sparrow nests in the tundra and is one of the most northern sparrows. It is identified by its rufous cap, yellow bi-coloured lower mandible and an upper dark mandible. It also has a single dark spot located on the center of its clear breast. The sparrows may spend their winter in Canada and are the most likely sparrows to be seen at birdfeeders in the colder months. Depending on the time of the year, the American Tree Sparrow can be seen in two different areas of North America. In nesting season the sparrow is seen in the northern boundaries of Quebec, Ontario, northern Manitoba, across Nunavut and the Northwest and Yukon Territories. It is also seen throughout Alaska and northern British Columbia. During the winter months, it will most likely be in the northern states but no further south than Oklahoma or northern Texas.

Sciurus carolinensis, common name eastern gray squirrel or grey squirrel depending on region, is a tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus. It is native to eastern North America but has since been introduced to European regions.
Sciurus carolinensis is native to the eastern and midwestern United States, and to the southerly portions of the eastern provinces of Canada. The eastern gray squirrel is found from New Brunswick to Manitoba, south to East Texas and Florida. Breeding eastern gray squirrels are found in Nova Scotia, but whether this population was introduced or came from natural range expansion is not known.
It has also been introduced into Ireland, Britain, Italy, South Africa, and Australia (where it was extirpated by 1973). Eastern grey squirrels in Europe are a concern because they have displaced some of the native squirrels.
A prolific and adaptable species, the eastern gray squirrel has been introduced to, and thrives in, several regions of the western United States. The gray squirrel is an invasive species in Britain; it has spread across the country and has largely displaced the native red squirrel, S. vulgaris. In Ireland, the red squirrel has been displaced in several eastern counties, though it remains common in the south and west of the country. That such displacement might happen in Italy is of concern, and gray squirrels might spread from Italy to other parts of mainland Europe. - Wikipedia
(L)a prensa internacional está manipulada. Y las razones de dicha manipulación son diversas. Hay, por ejemplo, razones ideológicas: entre las actividades humanas, los medios de comunicación son los más manipulados porque son instrumentos para determinar la opinión pública, algo que puede ocurrir de maneras diversas, dependiendo de quién los gestione. Hay diversas técnicas de manipulación. En los periódicos, se puede llevar a cabo una manipulación según lo que se escoja colocar en la primera página, según el título y el espacio que dedicamos a un acontecimiento. En la prensa hay cientos de maneras de manipular las noticias. Y otros cientos existen en la radio y en la televisión. Y sin decir mentiras. El problema de la radio y de la televisión es que no es necesario mentir: podemos limitarnos a no decir la verdad. El sistema es muy sencillo: omitir el tema. La mayor parte de los espectadores de la televisión reciben de forma muy pasiva lo que ésta les ofrece. Los patronos de los grandes grupos televisivos deciden por ellos qué deben pensar. Determinan la lista de las cosas en que pensar y qué pensar sobre ellas. No podemos pre-tender que el telespectador medio pueda llevar a cabo estudios independientes sobre la situación del mundo, sería imposible incluso para los especialistas. El ciudadano medio, que trabaja, vuelve a casa cansado y quiere tan sólo estar un rato con su familia, recibe únicamente lo que le llega en esos cinco minutos de telediario. Los temas principales que dan vida a las «noticias del día» deciden qué pensamos del mundo y cómo lo pensamos.
(…) El problema de las televisiones y, en general, de todos los medios de comunicación, es que son tan grandes, influyentes e importantes que han empezado a construir un mundo propio. Un mundo que tiene poco que ver con la realidad. Pero, por otro lado, estos medios no están interesados en reflejar la realidad del mundo, sino en competir entre ellos. Una cadena televisiva, o un periódico, no puede permitirse carecer de la noticia que posee su rival directo. Así, todos ellos acaban observando no la vida real, sino a la competencia.
(…) Naturalmente, hay revistas, boletines y sobre todo libros que ofrecen una imagen más equilibrada y completa, pero son para minorías, para grupos pequeños de especialistas. Para el gran público, la información es sólo el resultado de la competencia, de la lucha entre los grandes medios de comunicación. Y eso es otra historia.
El otro tipo de manipulación es la consciente.

"One of the most abundant birds across North America, and one of the most boldly colored, the Red-winged Blackbird is a familiar sight atop cattails, along soggy roadsides, and on telephone wires. Glossy-black males have scarlet-and-yellow shoulder patches they can puff up or hide depending on how confident they feel. Females are a subdued, streaky brown, almost like a large, dark sparrow. Their early and tumbling song are happy indications of the return of spring." allaboutboids
Male Eurasian Green-winged Teal
Depending on who you talk to or what website you go on, the American and Eurasian are or are not the same species. The American has a vertical white stripe on the front side chest and the Eurasian has the horizontal white stripe on the top below the wing. To me it is a bird I have never seen or photographed. We saw two different birds at Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Galloway, NJ.

Leur couleur dépend du nombre de bulles d'air emprisonnées dans la glace. En effet, dès qu'un rayon de soleil entre dans une des bulles, une partie de la lumière est réfléchie. ... Une partie seulement de la lumière est alors réfléchie, en particulier les longueurs d'ondes bleues.
Parce qu’ils sont faits de glace pure, avec peu de bulles d’air ,la lumière blanche qui pénètre l’iceberg subit une absorption sélective selon les longueurs d’ondes qui la constituent. Les grandes longueurs d’ondes, comme le jaune et le rouge, sont absorbées en premier, les courtes comme le bleu subsistent plus longtemps. A 30 m de fond, dans la glace, seul le bleu n’est pas totalement absorbé. De plus, en rebondissant sur les molécules de glace, les ondes subissent un important phénomène de diffusion. Les fréquences du bleu semblent alors amplifiées. La fraction de lumière qui ressort, privée de ses radiations rouges, donne sa couleur bleue à l’iceberg. Les icebergs blancs, eux, sont formés par accumulation de neige. Leur glace contient beaucoup de bulles d’air. La lumière pénètre peu, car elle se réfléchit à leur surface. Après une infinité de réflexions, la lumière ressort sans avoir subi d’absorption. Conséquence : elle est toujours blanche.

Depending on season and weather, it's always a completely different view. The sun was hidden here behind a cover of clouds for a long time until it was visible just before sunset.
Sonnenuntergang an den Schrammsteinen - je nach Jahreszeit und Wetter immer ein völlig anderes Bild. Hier war die Sonne lange hinter einer geschlossenen Wolkendecke versteckt bis sie sich kurz vor dem Untergang doch noch sehen ließ.

Apatura iris belongs to the Nymphalidae family and has a wingspan of 55 - 70 mm. The males have a purple/blue sheen on the upper dsides of their dark brown wings. This effect is caused by iridescence and depends on the angle of view. They are distributed throughout Central Europe and as far east as Korea and China. They can only seldom be seen because they mostly fly over trees and even more seldom sitting on flowers. So I got very lucky to spot this one sitting on the ground feeding on dry ordure.

Taken from the place we stayed at a few weeks back called Misty Cliff.
Misty Cliffs is a little village that lies on the mountain and on the beach, divided only by Main Road, between Kommetjie and Scarborough, roughly an hour from Cape Town.
It acquired its name for its, rather obviously, misty cliffs - it overlooks the wild and tempestuous sea, and is renowned not only for incredible days and beautiful beaches, but also for windy and wet days, depending on the season. It was something of a magical little hamlet that is also a conservation village bordering on a nature reserve, a wonderful place to find peace and quiet and a spectacular setting at the best of times.
