Galapagos Islands
There are not too many differences between the characteristics of the Galapagos frigates. They are very similar to look at in terms of shape, size and colourings. The most noteworthy difference is a slight colour variation between the two. The great frigatebird tends to have a green-ish sheen in the sunshine, while the magnificent frigatebird tends to look a rather more purple colour in this type of light. The magnificent frigatebird is slightly larger than the great frigatebird. The latter has larger wingspan than the former, and in both creatures, the female is bigger than the male bird. The wingspan is the largest wingspan to body weight ratio of any bird anywhere. What this means is that frigatebirds can glide for days on end.
THANK YOU for your visits, comments and favs
World desperately is in need of cutting out the differences and work towards peace, be it race, religion, region, politics, caste and opinion; it needs to be more healthy in the interest of humanity.
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!!
Greater difference between this image and the one I posted this morning shot on the first of December and the one I shot today. A stark b&w image withe the best light available this morning. I like them those contrasts.
... Between Night & Day :)
Captures taken about 12 hours apart. Both were at two seconds exposure time, one at ISO 100 and a 400ND Filter on, and the other at ISO 3200.
What a difference 30 minutes and 24 km makes, we arrived in Zutphen damp but drying out the sun actually tried to break through several times after leaving the car at a nearby parking lot exploring our way to the old town of this lovely historic Hanseatic town.
Zutphen has been inhabited for over 1700 years and was founded by the Franks during the time of the Roman Empire making it one of Holland’s oldest cities.
Being founders of the Hanseatic League the town has always been prosperous and despite its small size boasts over 450 national monuments thanks to its long wealthy history.
When you are slogging about dripping wet hunched over loaded down with camera gear in the pissing rain you just have to persevere and hope for a break in the weather or good spots that can shield you from the wet while shooting.
For most travel photographers its not like we will always have another opportunity to be back in the same direction so good wet weather gear and umbrellas are the order of the day when traveling in the fall most especially in the Netherlands.
Captured here is the pedestrian mall leading to the Tower of the Walburgis church which was at one time 113m tall but since 1600 reduced to a mere 76m though small in stature it is still a beauty and has been around since the 13th century ushering the locals to sermon.
I took this on September 19th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 28mm 1/8s, f/11 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

So many times I see these small woodpeckers and I try to remember which is the Downy Woodpecker and which is the Hairy Woodpecker. They are so similar at first glance. So I bought a really good bird book to help me identify the birds that will be returning to our area soon. The book is beautiful to browse through and it has me excited for the new birding season. I found out that this guy is the Downy Woodpecker. I will concentrate on trying to spot the two main differences to tell them apart. This guy has a shorter beak than the Hairy. Plus, the Downy has these black spots on the white tail feathers which you can just tell on the one image.
This brings me to my next goal in photography. I just deleted about 500 images from my photo stream this week. I will get rid of more. My work has changed and it has even improved over the years I have been on Flickr so there are images I do not need to keep online anymore. There are many I can even improve with better editing techniques I have learned and then I can replace those old images with newly edited images. My bird album is one of the first albums I will reorganize, I do not want to just collect bird images. I want to try for better bird images. I admire all the wildlife photographers on Flickr. I am not as dedicated to capturing all the amazing images they take. This is a simple practice for me to get to know my camera better and to try to keep improving while learning more about the world around me. Happy Wing Wednesday!

Thanks to Flickr’s Beatifuldays for the foundation photo of the Holy Wall...... if anybody is wondering what is the difference between the two of them the answer is in the upper right Corner of this photo
The difference between the morning temperature and the midday one is very huge!
When the sun is up it still looks like summer!
We were at the park here! With this usual abandoned and metallic thing! I think I’m the only one who find it useful!
The sky was beautiful and I needed to put it in my camera!
Lassie and I wish you all Happy Sunday from our blue sky (we’re sitting on a cloud just to be closer to the sky!!!!...yes, usual madness… :D )
PS
yes....it's better!
Tuesday was the warmest day of the year so far in the UK with temperatures up 33C or 91F in some parts. It was also full moon with the moon rising 30 minutes before sunset. The clear skies and timing make ideal conditions for mixing scenery with the moon without too much difference in exposure. A check of the Photographers Ephemeris online also revealed that the moonrise lined up perfectly with the local pier when viewed from the west. This also gave me a perfect chance to try out my new (second hand) 75-300 Minolta zoom lens for some moon shots.. When the tide is in there are always fishermen operating from the end of the pier in the evening.
The picture was taken with a tripod with a Sony A550 with a Minolta 75-300 zoom at 300mm. Processing was limited to adjustments in RAW and Topaz Clarity was also used.

Happy New Year!
I'm continuing the focus on the seals for the next couple of weeks before they move away from the coast.
Here's a couple from sunrise, the day after Storm Deirdre - what a difference a day makes...
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
When You Wish Upon a Star

Seeing eye to eye doesn't necessarily preclude a difference of opinion when it comes to boundaries.

Benoît est un adulte que j'accompagne en tant qu'éducateur depuis plus dix ans..c'est un homme lumineux..Merci a lui et à sa mère de me permettre de poster ce portrait dont je suis particulièrement fiert...
Benoît is the man... I host him since more than ten years in the adult handicap center I worked..A bright man...
This young and recently fledged roseate spoonbill gave me a nice profile shot to highlight the differences between it and a full adult. It's bill is noticeably shorter and its eyes are much darker than an adult. It also has very soft colored pink feathers that will darken and grow richer with age.
My sincere thanks to all who spend the time to view, like or comment on my photos. It is much appreciated!

Perspective makes a huge difference in photography and I can think of few birds that illustrate it better than the Black-necked Stilt. Those crazy long, thin legs are pretty neat looking and nothing I know of shows them off better than getting nice and low; they really do look like stilts! This individual was watching over its downy chicks at Brazoria NWR during a recent visit and while I was waiting around in hopes of getting a photo of one of the little fluff-balls I was reminded why this species is one of my favorites. To my eye stilts look like they were made by an artist who was making a sculpture to illustrate delicate elegance with an exaggerated, stretched out design. This moment didn’t last long as this dutiful parent found me a lot less interesting than the nearby Killdeer that it was determined on chasing away.

Himantopus mexicanus
This Greater Yellowlegs was preening at Westchester Lagoon and gave me some time to get some shots of it from different positions. I like this one with a good reflection of the bird in this swampy area. It's hard to tell the difference between the greater and lesser, but the voice helps. In this case definitely the three cries of the greater.

This is also a Viceroy Butterfly
The main visual difference between the viceroy and monarch butterfly is the black line drawn across the viceroy's hind wings, which monarch butterflies do not have.
Another characteristic of the Viceroy are larger but fewer spots oh the upperbody
What a difference a day makes.
Thursday was like a Summers day yet I woke to blizzards on Friday morning

What does it take to understand that guns kill? Why do we insist upon having guns? Can we think, instead of being governed by fear?
Violence only adds to more violence. Start with eliminating poverty and creating more equality thereby eliminating squalor, indignity, hunger, death and desperation. Try a little love, it goes a long way and does not create violence! History repeats itself, violence has never been and never will be the solution, helping one another in a peaceful way does make a difference, the damage has been done, so it won't be easy but it is better than violence.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
Greek Cactus doing an X-over display
Archive capture of a cactus, Kefalonia, 2012.
I doubt it knew it would end up on flickr in another guise. At the time I made the shot I had no idea either :)
You see them in many big cities, especially those with historic city centers: horse-drawn carriages. The discerning and well-off tourist can be chauffeured through the streets in style.
As you can see, Krakow, Poland, is no exception. With one difference. While the coachmen are usually male, here you see exclusively pretty women in beautiful, colorful traditional costumes. Undoubtedly a beautiful sight and something special.
I still didn't take a ride. Firstly, I don't think the money is worth it (I'm just not well-off enough), and secondly, as a photographer, you have to walk through cities to feel them.
Man sieht sie in vielen Großstädten, vor allem in denen mit historischen Stadtzentren, Pferdekutschen. Mit Ihnen kann sich der geneigte und solvente Tourist standesgemäß durch die Strassen kutschieren lassen.
Wie Ihr sehen könnt macht Krakau in Polen dabei keine Ausnahme. Mit einem Unterschied. Während sonst mehrheitlich männlicher Kutscher am Werk sind, sieht man hier ausschließlich hübsche Frauen in schönen bunten Trachten. Zweifelsfrei ein schöner Anblick und etwas Besonderes.
Ich bin trotzdem nicht mitgefahren. Denn zum einen ist mir das Geld zu schade (ich bin eben nicht solvent genug) und zum anderen muss man Städte als Fotograf erlaufen um sie zu fühlen.
