Beautiful Malaysia
This shot was taken before the midnight of Jan 2010 while waiting for the New Year Countdown. i make some difference in taking this shot instead of either lanscape or portrait format by tilting at the angle.....
Are they really different?
How man are different? On, two or three?
What is the reason of the difference?
The thickness? The color? The material?
Are they really different? They all are ropes ....
This is one from a clutch of 4 eggs, two of which have already broken out, and the third is now just in the process of doing so.
You can see the tortoise's eye looking out of the small aperture of shell, which it will have made with its adapted beak..
The red-footed tortoise (Chelonoidis carbonaria) is a species of tortoises from northern South America. These medium-sized tortoises generally average 30 cm (12 in) as adults, but can reach over 40 cm (16 in). They have dark-colored, loaf-shaped carapaces (back shell) with a lighter patch in the middle of each scute (scales on the shell), and dark limbs with brightly colored scales that range from pale yellow to dark red. Recognized differences are seen between red-footed tortoises from different regions. They are closely related to the yellow-footed tortoise (C. denticulata) from the Amazon Basin. They are popularly kept as pets, and over-collection has caused them to be vulnerable to extinction.
Their natural habitat ranges from savannah to forest edges around the Amazon Basin. They are omnivorous with a diet based on a wide assortment of plants, mostly fruit when available, but also including grasses, flowers, fungi, carrion, and invertebrates. They do not brumate, but may aestivate in hot, dry weather.
Eggs, hatchlings, and young tortoises are food for many predators, but the main threats for adults are jaguars and humans. Population density ranges from locally common to very scarce due in part to habitat destruction and over-collection for food and the pet trade.
There was a time, there was always a time. A time when she was nothing more than a figure in the crosshairs of some scope, years had passed with this being the case. Something had changed, a point of no return... he wasn't just a thick headed marine anymore following orders, he was here by his own free will.
Taking this shot on the Manhattan sail coco and jazz was so much fun. I love how you can see the size difference between these two.
There are only 3-colors, 10-digits, and 7-notes in my life now but not too long ago those numbers were each in trillions.
Funny how one person can make all that difference.

I have only seen Fiddler Crabs on TV before now and in the space of a couple of days, I have now seen at least four species. The difference in size between the two claws is amazing, as are the colours! This one lives in burrows on the beach.
I was about to leave because I thought I had the shot I wanted. I packed everything in my car, but when I turned around the light changed into this beautiful golden yellow. I set up again and kept going. A split-second can make all the difference. :)
“What is the difference between a squash and a pumpkin?”
Well, to keep it simple, pumpkin is one type of squash and squash generally refers to four species of genus cucurbita, including the species to which pumpkin belongs. So, to make it clearer, both squash and pumpkin belong to the same family (the cucurbitaceae). A pumpkin is a type of squash. Squash is considered a fruit and it grows on a vine. Here in the US and Canada, we usually break down the squash family to winter or summer squash, depending on when they are harvested.
One thing that makes pumpkin a little different from other squash, besides being orange with yellow-orange skin, is its stem. Anyone who has ever handled one knows that its stem is stiff and spikey. Another thing that sets pumpkin apart from its sisters in the squash family is that its seeds are edible.
Pumpkin can be grown in many parts of the world whereas growing other varieties of squash is more restricted by specific weather conditions. At the market, our world magically comes together. There you’ll find many varieties, some edible, others ornamental.

A Kind of Anchorage (A work/mediation in progress)
My title derives from, and acknowledges, Harold Pinter's 'A Kind of Alaska'. Although it shares its title with the name of the capital of that cold state, my subject for mediation is of another state completely. It is geographically divorced from that region of America.
It relates more to the Anchorage or Anchorhold of medieval self-imposed isolation. There is a fundamental difference between the hermit and Anchorite of that distant time. Whilst the hermit removed him or herself from the community and went into self-imposed exile, the Anchorite chose to be incarcerated or isolated within the community. These Anchorholds were usually a small cell carbuncled onto a church where the Anchorite was immured. His (the Anchorite) or her (the Anchoress) role was thenceforth to be that of mediator between the community and what was held to be the divine.
Pinter's play, in turn, was inspired by 'Awakenings' by Oliver Sacks. Pinter acknowledges this in the introduction.
"In the winter of 1916-17, there spread over Europe, and subsequently over the rest of the world, an extraordinary epidemic illness which presented itself in innumerable forms--as delirium, mania, trances, coma, sleep, insomnia, restlessness, and states of Parkinsonism. It was eventually identified by the great physician Constantin von Economo and named by him encephalitis lethargica, or sleeping sickness.
Over the next ten years almost five million people fell victim to the disease of whom more than a third died. Of the survivors some escaped almost unscathed, but the majority moved into states of deepening illness. The worst affected sank into singular states of "sleep"-conscious of their surroundings but motionless, speechless, and without hope or will, confined to asylums or other institutions.
Fifty years later, with the development of the remarkable drug L-Dopa, they erupted into life once more."
In Pinter's play Deborah describes this incarceration:
'Oh dear. (the flicking of her cheek grows faster)
Yes, I think they're closing in. They're closing in.
They're closing the walls in. Yes. (She bows her head, flicking faster, her fingers now moving over her face)
Oh.well.oooohhhh.oh no.oh no.(during the course of this speech her body becomes more hunch-backed) Let me
out. Stop it. Let me out. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.
Shutting the walls on me. Shutting them down on me. So tight, so tight. Something panting, something panting.
Can't see. Oh, the light is going. They're shutting up shop. They're closing my face. Chains and padlocks.
Bolting me up. Stinking. The smell. Oh my goodness, oh dear, oh my goodness, oh dear, I'm so young. It's a
vice. I'm in a vice. It's at the back of my neck. Ah.
Eyes stuck. Only see the shadow of the tip of my nose.
Eye's stuck. (She stops flicking abruptly, sits still.
Her body straightens. She looks up. She looks at her fingers, examines them) Nothing.'
Between these spaces, this disease-imposed Anchorage, and the chosen Anchorhold of the medieval Anchorite is the area I want to pillage and mediate.
An image useful in showing that there are signifcant subtle differences among cygnets especially. Tundra Swans (Cygnus columbianus) at a local pond, Kelowna, BC.
This trio (quartet at a push) of London Tridents demonstrate a difference in the shade of red applied. 17486 (LX51FME) is a much darker shade of red that the others, and is also the only one to carry corner adverts for a stage show - Miss Saigon in this case. 17448 (Y448NHK) wilst not numerically the oldest one to appear here so far is the only one with a pre-51 style registration.

We were lucky enough to be able to see this uncommon visitor to the Bay Area. We saw it in Pond A17 and had better views than now it has now moved to A18 and viewing is better with a scope. Another life bird to add to my list!
Not the best shot but you can see some of the differences: more pale overall especially the underside, prominent eyebrow and bill more pink. It apparently has shorter legs which we were not able to see. And it is nice to be able to compare to our Marbled Godwits.
Photo below shows more pale belly.
When I lived in Lakeview, Oregon during 1985-1986, I discovered that trackside access to the Southern Pacific branchline into town was somewhat limited. There was an infamous sinkhole seven miles south of town at milepost 505 that was adjacent to a county road. It was the last public access to the right of way north of the state line. As such, I recorded a fair collection of photos there.
These two shots show the differences that took place in a seven month span. On a Tuesday night in August 1985, I caught SP's Lakeview Local rolling timetable westbound at MP 505. Although I couldn't have imagined it at the time, eight years later I would get to ride in the GP9 pulling this train from Woodburn to Salem via Silverton on the new Willamette Valley Railway.
In January 1986, SP sold the Lakeview Branch to Lake County Oregon as a shortline. The county hired Great Western Railroad of Colorado to operate the new shortline. Severe storms during February 1986 caused so much damage that GWR was out of service for three weeks making repairs. Fortunately, GWR had stockpiled empties in Lakeview, so they were able to spot cars for loading during most of the time they were out of service.
Once the branch was reopened, I caught the first GWR train out of Lakeview down at MP 505 on March 4th. It was nice that the train departed town during my lunch hour! Aside from the lack of a caboose and the paint on the locomotive, the image was very similar to what I had seen the previous summer.
A Volvo PV544 in Langen. According to Wikipedia, "In 1958, the PV544 was phased in. Subtle differences with the PV444 included the introduction of a curved one-piece windshield to replace the two panes of flat glass, larger taillights, and a ribbon-type speedometer. "

As nouns the difference between portrait and profile is that portrait is a painting or other picture of a person, especially the head and shoulders while profile is the outermost shape, view, or edge of an object.

The southern royal albatross or toroa (Diomedea epomophora) is a large seabird from the albatross family. With an average wingspan of above 3 m (9.8 ft), it is one of the two largest species of albatross, together with the wandering albatross.
The southern royal albatross has a length of 112 to 123 cm (44–48 in)[ and a mean weight of 8.5 kg (19 lb). At Campbell Island, 11 males were found to have a mean mass of 10.3 kg (23 lb) and 7 females were found to have a mean mass of 7.7 kg (17 lb), thus may be heavier on average than most colonies of wandering albatross.
Males are about 2 to 3 kg (4.4 to 6.6 lb) heavier than females. Average wingspan has been reported from 2.9 to 3.28 m (9.5 to 10.8 ft), with an upper limit of about 3.50 m (11.5 ft). The wandering albatross can exceed this species in maximum size and averages slightly larger in linear dimensions if not bulk, but the two species are close enough in dimensions that size cannot be used to distinguish between them.
The juvenile has a white head, neck, upper mantle, rump, and underparts. There are black speckles on the mantle, and dark brown or black wings with white flecks on coverts. The tail is white except for the black tip as is the under-wing. Young birds soon lose the black on their tail and backs. White appears on the upperwing gradually, as speckles starting from the leading edge.
All ages have a pink bill with black on the cutting edge on the upper mandible, and the legs are flesh-coloured. Young birds with all-dark upperwings can be hard to differentiate from the northern royal albatross. There are clear but subtle differences from the wandering albatross, with the southern royal having a clean black and white appearance, lacking the peach neck spot often found on the wandering albatross.
Most wandering albatrosses have dark feathers in the tail and crown and the white in this species expands from the middle of the wing, in larger blotches. The bill is also slightly paler, as well as the dark cutting edge along the middle. The average lifespan is 58 years.
This image was taken in the South Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Argentina.

There is quite a size difference between Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, yet their plumage is all but identical. This makes them quite difficult to identify from photographs where there is nothing to give scale. Greater Yellowlegs usually has an almost imperceptibly slight upturn to the bill. But when you see the two species together the size difference is like that between Greenshank and Redshank. The bill is also relatively longer and stouter in Greater Yellowlegs, so more like a Greenshank. Incidentally, DNA studies reveal that it is more closely related to Greenshank than Lesser Yellowlegs. Both species of Yellowlegs breed across the boreal forest zone of Canada, but Lesser Yellowlegs peters out around Hudson Bay so does not reach the Atlantic coast. Puzzlingly Lesser Yellowlegs is much, much more common as a vagrant in Britain compared with Greater Yellowlegs, yet Greater breeds right up to the Atlantic Coast. Both species winter in the southern States and throughout South America. I photographed this Greater feeding on the shore at Port Hardy on Vancouver Island.
