Seasonal differences
View allAll Photos Tagged differences,
As you may have guessed, I stayed on the Salar to enjoy the sunset too. The difference with sunrise is that more tourists watch the sunset than the sunrise; not everyone is an early riser. But it was worth it I think.
Ingredients:
1) Speaker 2) Apple Slice 3) Ice
4) Strawberry Slice w/Apple Pits
Directions:
1) Apply wavy filter to speaker composite layer.
2) Add Apple Slice and Strawberry Slice w/Pits.
3) Blend until happy (again with the Difference setting).
Happy Slider Sunday - HSS
The difference between a "Burg" and a "Schloss" (castle) is that a Burg is more like a fortress, built for protection from the enemies, and a Schloss was for the nobility to reside in, and very lavishly decorated.
Over time, some of the Burgs were also turned into castles.
Burg Eltz is somewhat unusual, in that it's been in the same family that had it built over 850 years ago, and Count and Countess Eltz still live there today.

I had never really seen the difference in color of the top and bottom of a butterfly wing until I observed several monarchs flying around on this evening.
A butterfly wing is often seen as a canvas, but it’s actually two. The ventral side (underside, seen when wings are closed together) is often used for camouflage and predator avoidance, whereas the dorsal side (top side, seen when wings are open) is used for sexual signaling.
The male monarch butterfly has a black spot on each hind wing, as can be seen on the left monarch, while the female monarch (right) has thicker wing veins.

The Flame-faced Tanager is one of the most spectacular members of the diverse and exceptionally colorful genus Tangara. Living up to its common name, the forehead begins as a deep glimmering red, shading into a brilliant yellow on the nape and sides of the head. This "flame" contrasts sharply with the jet black back. The Flame-faced Tanager is a common member in mixed species foraging flocks in the canopy of humid montane forest from the Andes of extreme southwest Venezuela south to central Peru. It forages exclusively along mossy branches and occasionally peering at the underside in search of arthropods. There are three subspecies of the Flame-faced Tanager, described based mostly on minor differences in plumage. The species is typically found from 1000-2600 m and is most numerous above 1500 m. The IUCN Red list assesses the Flame-faced Tanager as a species of Least Concern; however, the population size is declining due to habitat destruction. Thus, the Flame-faced Tanager should become the focus of future studies.
Have a Peaceful Saturday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Always difficult for me to tell the difference between Neotroic and Double-crested Cormorants. There are Double-crested in the Riverstone Wetlands, but the orange coloring around the eyes (the lore) is more pronounced this time of year. I’ll go with Neotropic. Sugar Land, Texas.
Some of you may have noticed that the last few shots I've uploaded were all captured on the same day.
That was our summer holiday....
We spent a week up north - 6/7ths of which were blessed with horizontal rain but we were lucky enough to get one freakishly good day which we made the most of, but by late afternoon, the next front of low pressure was upon us.
Even my B&W shot of the boat at Inverasdale had to be cleaned up to remove a few rain spots from the filter.
Someone once said that the only difference between a Scottish summer and a Scottish winter is that the rain is warmer.
This view, with obligatory bonnie purple heather in the foreground, is taken looking out across Loch Ewe with Aultbea and Mellon Charles on the right.
I'm still amazed at how blue the sky and water is. No polarizer used, just a medium grey grad for balance and a bit of cloud structure.
Our last day and last shot of summer.
Summertime blues....there ain't no cure.
Many thanks as always for your welcome views and comments.

This lovely origami model is called "Rain Star" or in Spanish "Estrella de la Lluvia", because when it was created by Aldo Marcell it was raining ;-)
I wanted to see what the difference is when I changed the color, so that's why you see 2 variations, I like them both....which one has your preference?
I put them on a mirror so you can see at the same time the other site.
Model: Origami Rain Star / Origami Estrella de la Lluvia
Designer: Aldo Marcell
Paper: 30 pieces of rectangle kamipaper 1:3 (2,5x7,5cm)

There is a video tutorial by Evan Zodl, if you want to fold it too ;-)

As 2022 draws to a close, I am looking forward to turning the page on this year, which has been a difficult one for me, and starting the new chapter that is 2023.
There are a few lines from a Josh Groban song called "Thankful", that I have always loved:
Even with our differences
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each others' light
For me, Flickr has become a beautiful place to find that light and that connection, especially in a world that seems to grow increasingly dark and troubled. So I want to share a deep and sincere Thank You to all my Flickr friends and contacts for the light you give and all the ways in which you uplift my spirit. Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity which both awe and inspire me, for sharing your beautiful places, special moments, and great adventures, for your thoughtful and generous support of my photography and writing, and most of all for your personal kindness, caring, and humanity. I truly enjoy all of the conversations, comments, and connection with each of you, and am incredibly thankful for your encouragement and good wishes through some of the tough times this year.
I am profoundly grateful to have met such wonderful people here on Flickr. Because in the words of the incomparable Maya Angelou in the poem below,
"Nobody, but nobody, Can make it out here alone.
I wish each of you health, happiness, and beautiful light (both in photography and life) in the new year ahead!
Alone
by Maya Angelou
Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don't believe I'm wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
There are some millionaires
With money they can't use
Their wives run round like banshees
Their children sing the blues
They've got expensive doctors
To cure their hearts of stone.
But nobody
No, nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Now if you listen closely
I'll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
'Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
*** Walking alone takes courage
For it feels safer having people around
It feels nicer being surrounded by a friendly crowd, being popular.
Most of us want to be loved
Some work hard on being hated.
But walking your own path
Means burning your boats, your bridges
Sailing unsafe waters.
Independence is one high form of courage
Difference is one high form of strength.
*** Dedicated to those who are different,
do not obey,
do not conform,
do not accept,
do not bend,
do not break,
do not kneel,
do not follow,
do not capitulate,
declare YOUR independence, before it is taken from you.
<3

My last minute entry to this week's Mastermind contest
What is the difference between "I like you" and "I love you"?
Buddha replies: when you like a flower, you take it. When you love a flower you water it all day.
Whoever understands this understands life.
(Buddha)

When I came upon this Cormorant gazing out over the water at a local lake, I wondered if it was lonely or just liked hanging-out alone. I’ve found there is a difference.
"All by Myself" is a song by American singer-songwriter Eric Carmen. The most notable cover version of the song was recorded by Canadian singer Celine Dion in 1996.

My guess is that this little guy was in fact a Solitary Sandpiper, actually this shot almost lines up with the allabout birds shot! Funny how similar they look to Lesser Yellow Legs - the only real difference in my uneducated opinion being size. I love the warm golden early morning light in this photo.
If this garage was in a Jewish neigbourhood 'Ah Wai' would be out of business as 'Oy Vey' is a cry indicating dismay, disappointment or grief. I was also intrigued by the samurai painted on the door for protection.

A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.
Albert Camus
Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.
John Milton
Any fool can make a rule
And any fool will mind it.
Thoreau
No-one is free when others are opressed.

We seem to be getting dangerously close to world war! Is it worth it???? Do you have any idea how many people lose everything and are left in complete and utter misery? Why can we not find a way to sit down and discuss our situation, without the power of money and greed? It is beyond time to find a solution and if we don't we have no-one to blame other than ourselves!!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Note the eye size difference between these chicks, born about a week apart. The food the parent is offering appears to be a dragonfly nymph.

Yesterday evening at Sunset....Temp: 13C.
The second image was a day earlier and 23C.

“The only difference between an extraordinary life and an ordinary one is the extraordinary pleasures you find in ordinary things. “ - Veronique Vienne. Although this sunflower pales by comparison the vibrant hello ones we saw, it has it’s own extraordinary beauty. For Sliders Sunday, I kept the tones light with a warm edit and created a bit more blur in the background. Celebrate the simple pleasures.
Happy Fence Friday !! A look back at March , the only difference being, we have leaves on the trees !!!

Our similarities bring us to a common ground; our differences allow us to be fascinated by each other.
Tom Robbins
We can find common ground only by moving to higher ground.
Jim Wallis
It's good to find common ground with people. When you find common ground and you see things from other people's perspective, you can have a voice in their lives, you can have an influence.
Victoria Osteen
The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another.
Thomas Merton
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️ ❤️
Supper Moon: Closest to the Earth. Approximately 14% bigger and 30% brighter than that of usual full moon.
This is for record only. I am sure there will much better picture of Super moon at various sites. But this is one is partly unique as angle of moon is different from most of the other photographs. Have a close look of super moon photographs taken from different parts of the World to see the difference!!

I was never too thrilled with this photo before I cropped it, but when I was looking through older photos for a project, I thought this might be a good crop. I made a few other tweaks, like erase the flag, but the crop is the main difference. I will put the original, which I posted in July 2013, in comments. For all I know, you may prefer that one.
