Had a blast seeing this little guy sing and do his round of a small area around a very steap cliff. The bokeh is made of fields that are a good 300 feet below. I still have much difficulty to differentiate most of the warbler songs but this week was a good practice. As the species gradually arrived I could see and hear each new species and have some practice to ear and remember them.
This is a photo of three colourful vertical stripes whose florescent intensity strongly differentiates them from the background of light blue cracked paint. The striking contrast was created by the application of a preset in Photomatix. I love the effect. The actual stripes are painted on a storage shed on the Yarmouth bar, and are more matte in appearance.
the stalactites reflect perfectly off of an one inch pool of water. It is hard to differentiate between what it real and what it being reflected. spelunking at its best!
FSO 2015 comment - One of my best water reflections to date, For anyone that has been here seeing is believing this and its very low light and a tough shot to pull off. Topaz was used to remove a fair amount of noise

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Apostles, in common use simply Church of the Apostles is the church at the centre of the Greek Orthodox Monastery of the Holy Apostles at Capernaum, standing among the ruins of ancient Capernaum (Kfar Nachum) near the shore of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. It is also known as simply the Greek Orthodox church at Capernaum, to differentiate it from the Franciscan monastery standing in the southern part of Capernaum. It is sometimes named as the Church of the Seven Apostles, based on the seven disciples mentioned in John 21 (John 21:1-2), but it is actually dedicated to all the twelve apostles of Jesus.
The church marks the site of the ancient village of Capernaum, which is an important place in Christianity. The village is frequently mentioned in the Gospels and was Jesus' main base during his Galilean ministry. It is referred to as Jesus' own city and a place where he lived. It was in the synagogue of Capernaum where he first started to preach.
Those who claim that the church is dedicated the seven apostles (or rather five apostles and two more disciples), base it on the Gospel of John, chapter 21. The church is actually dedicated to all twelve apostles, which also make sense due to the long stay of Jesus and his closest disciples in Capernaum.
The generic name, Sciurus, is derived from two Greek words, skia 'shadow' and oura 'tail'. This name alludes to the squirrel sitting in the shadow of its tail. The specific epithet, carolinensis, refers to the Carolinas, where the species was first recorded and where the animal is still extremely common. In the United Kingdom and Canada, it is simply referred to as the "grey squirrel". In the US, "eastern" is used to differentiate the species from the western gray squirrel (Sciurus griseus).
The eastern gray squirrel has predominantly gray fur, but it can have a brownish color. It has a usual white underside as compared to the typical brownish-orange underside of the fox squirrel. It has a large bushy tail. Particularly in urban situations where the risk of predation is reduced, both white – and black-colored individuals are quite often found. The melanistic form, which is almost entirely black, is predominant in certain populations and in certain geographic areas, such as in large parts of southeastern Canada. Melanistic squirrels appear to exhibit a higher cold tolerance than the common gray morph; when exposed to −10 °C, black squirrels showed an 18% reduction in heat loss, a 20% reduction in basal metabolic rate, and an 11% increase to non-shivering thermogenesis capacity when compared to the common gray morph. The black coloration is caused by an incomplete dominant mutation of MC1R, where E+/E+ is a wild type squirrel, E+/EB is brown-black, and EB/EB is black.
The head and body length is from 23 to 30 cm (9.1 to 11.8 in), the tail from 19 to 25 cm (7.5 to 9.8 in), and the adult weight varies between 400 and 600 g (14 and 21 oz). They do not display sexual dimorphism, meaning there is no gender difference in size or coloration.
The tracks of an eastern gray squirrel are difficult to distinguish from the related fox squirrel and Abert's squirrel, though the latter's range is almost entirely different from the gray's. Like all squirrels, the eastern gray shows four toes on the front feet and five on the hind feet. The hind foot-pad is often not visible in the track. When bounding or moving at speed, the front foot tracks will be behind the hind foot tracks. The bounding stride can be two to three feet long.
Once upon a time there were three blocks so beautiful as to differentiate themselves from the other mountains: the 'Tre Cime di Lavaredo'.
"Artists’ tools are important because they act as an attribute that can differentiate painters and their intellectual status from the artisanal world and manual labor."
I haven't seen as many Scrub Jays as in previous years, but as beautiful as they are, they're still on my "list." Besides, they're still playing "Hide The Acorn and Watch it be stolen by a squirrel or a crow.
I do not differentiate between the Coastal, Island, Inland, Valley, or Central Scrub Jay. This is the Central Valley Scrub Jay, quite a bit flashier than the Florida species.
Taken exactly 10 years ago today, and now it's time to practice avian photography once more.
Parque Provincial Ischigualasto. San Juan. Argentina

Ring-billed Gull (Larus delawarensis) - 20230603-05
Fairly small gull, common and widespread throughout most of North America. Breeding adults are white-headed with a bold black ring around the bill; nonbreeding adults have smudgy brown markings on the head. Note pale eye and yellow legs. Immatures are mottled brownish overall; note pink bill with black tip. Found along lakes, rivers, ponds, and beaches. More common inland than most other gull species, and quite fond of parking lots and urban areas. Often in flocks. Most similar to Short-billed Gull, but larger and larger-billed. Immatures of the two species are especially difficult to differentiate, but Ring-billed is usually more coarsely mottled. (eBird)
---------------
And now for something completely different. It's a bird, but not my usual style. I didn't realize how beautiful the water looked with the early morning sun sparkling across it until I downloaded my photos and found several of this almost adult gull taking off into the sunrise.
Nottawasaga Bay, Lake Huron, Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. June 2023.
This Great Egret flew very close as we explored the wetlands of the Bueng Boraphet Non-hunting Area in a boat. That protected area is in Thailand’s Nakhon Sawan province. This image shows the gape extending beyond the eye, a feature that differentiates this species from the slightly smaller Medium Egret (Ardea intermedia).
A big swell tonight.. at least 2.5m and high tide so I went to Mona Vale pool for the first time. The pool is some distance from shore and has its own lighting. There are two Rockpools - one suitable for toddlers and a larger pool measuring 30 metres for bigger kids and adults

I took the shots from the headland under cover as it was raining a lot. This was a longer exposure of 1.3 seconds allowing a wider aperture for the starbursts from the lights. The counterside is that the waves behind aren't as distinct. Next time a higher ISO would fix this.
Parking is 5 seconds away. Unfortunately no lightning or really differentiated clouds (I guess that a rainbow would have been sweet too) but still some great shots to share. It wasn't intentional to upload them all at the same time.
General information on ocean pools in Sydney:
This is a Mk Vc machine dating from 1942.
The pilot is clearly visible through the windscreen.
If you look very carefully indeed, you can just make out two wires, running between the tips of each tail wing to the body of the aircraft. These were used to transmit a radio signal that made friendly aircraft appear larger on the very early radar screens then in use to detect enemy aircraft.
The yellow stripes on the wing leading edges were added to help differentiate friend from foe when the aircraft was seen from head on, as here.
This Spitfire Mk Vc, AR501, is owned and operated by The Shuttleworrth Collection and based at Old Warden aerodrome.

Clicked at the famous Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary. It is a bird of large inland and coastal waters, especially large lakes. At a distance they are difficult to differentiate from other Pelicans in the region although it is smaller but at close range the spots on the upper mandible, the lack of bright colours and the greyer plumage are distinctive. In some areas these birds nest in large colonies close to human habitations. The species is found to breed only in peninsular India, Sri Lanka and in Cambodia. A few birds from India are known to winter in the Gangetic plains but reports of its presence in many other parts of the region has been questioned. Though the numbers of these birds have declined or in many instances become extinct in many other countries over the years, the populations in southern India are thought to be on the rise. Not shy by nature they tend to nest close to human habitations.

The Segway is a two-wheeled, self-balancing personal transporter invented by Dean Kamen and brought to market in 2001 as the Segway HT, subsequently as the Segway PT, and manufactured by Segway Inc. HT is an initialism for "human transporter" and PT for "personal transporter."
The Citroën H-Type vans (but mostly Citroën HY), are a series of panel vans and light trucks, produced by French automaker Citroën for 34 years (from 1947 through 1981), that are memorable for their Industrial design, using many corrugated metal outer body panels, to save material, weight, and costs. Early models of the uniquely styled trucks were just named Type H, but soon they were differentiated by a second letter, using the last four letters in the alphabet – except for the type HP for (flat-bed) pickups. Thus the vans were built as the types HW through HZ – with the majority of them built as Citroën HY.
The Citroën H-types were developed as simple, low-cost, front-wheel drive vans after World War II, using the same design philosophy as on Citroën's 2CV, but featuring a frameless, unitary body-structure. A total of 473,289 of their variants were produced in 34 years in factories in France and Belgium.

OK so this could well be a "Lady" but it's impossible to differentiate between the sexes & Lord has a nice ring to it. Common Buzzards are, as the name suggests, fairly common in SE Ireland. This one obligingly perched on the telegraph pole at the end of our garden.
Processed with Topaz Glow "Ion Radiation" to lift the colours slightly. Wishing everyone a Happy Telegraph Tuesday and Happy Wing Wednesday too.
Like the bokeh on this one :-) This is an immature male. They can be differentiated from females by the dark spots on the breast.
Those who control the gates control the universe - their power grants any soul the ability to mingle and crash immensely differentiating worlds into one another, causing chaos and death. Hence the Gatekeepers were created during The Act of Existence - a group of individuals with the obligation to serve and protect the inhabitants of the Cillenial Worlds, destroying all possible threats one world could have on another. Mostly the Gatekeepers have only to keep a watchful eye on their wards, however on rare occasions evil attempts to break through their barriers...

It's winter break over here in Poland and I'm waiting on some bricks to finish another project, so I figured while I'm waiting I might as well build an immersive scene. I spent 3.5 days building and photographing this guy and am incredibly pleased with the final result, especially after factoring in how little time I spent on it. I really have the urge to build more fantasy/medieval immersive scenes now 😊
Feedback is always appreciated,
Happy Building!

Turkey
The Panorpa aspoeki group (or species group) is predominately found in Turkey. While identification keys for the group are lacking, researchers rely on detailed morpholoigal analysis of the male genital structures and specific features like the caudal recess on the subgenital plate, to differentiate species.
Which means we will never know. !!!!!!
THANK YOU for your visits, comments and favourites
The Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus) is a passerine bird in the sparrow family with a rich chestnut crown and nape and a black patch on each pure white cheek. The sexes are similarly plumaged, and young birds are a duller version of the adult. This sparrow breeds over most of temperate Eurasia and Southeast Asia, where it is known as the tree sparrow, and it has been introduced elsewhere including the United States, where it is known as the Eurasian tree sparrow or German sparrow to differentiate it from the native unrelated American tree sparrow. Although several subspecies are recognised, the appearance of this bird varies little across its extensive range.
The Eurasian tree sparrow's untidy nest is built in a natural cavity, a hole in a building, or the disused nest of a European magpie or white stork. The typical clutch is five or six eggs which hatch in under two weeks. This sparrow feeds mainly on seeds, but invertebrates are also consumed, particularly during the breeding season. As with other small birds, infection by parasites and diseases, and predation by birds of prey take their toll, and the typical life span is about two years.
The Eurasian tree sparrow is widespread in the towns and cities of eastern Asia, but in Europe, it is a bird of lightly wooded open countryside, with the house sparrow breeding in the more urban areas. The Eurasian tree sparrow's extensive range and large population ensure that it is not endangered globally, but there have been large declines in western European populations, in part due to changes in farming practices involving increased use of herbicides and loss of winter stubble fields. In eastern Asia and western Australia, this species is sometimes viewed as a pest, although it is also widely celebrated in oriental art.

The Paths of Light
I know you're not really interested in this, or at least not in detail. Nevertheless, I'd like to explain the image and my photography in general.
My camera is often the same as the sketchbooks of painters from back when they couldn't take tubes of paint outside. They captured what they saw in their sketchbooks, primed their canvases, transferred their preliminary drawings (usually altered in scale and dimensions/proportions), and then, if necessary, further differentiated them with color in many layers.
Every part of the image you see is truly newly conceived, and much of it isn't even the origin of Gehry's "original."
He provided basic elements and inspiration in three-dimensionality, which I used as abstract two-dimensional elements to make them appear three-dimensional.
So, the basic image of my photo here was initially vertical and rectangular, with a section in the original that I couldn't logically or spatially comprehend at all. Then, I altered it, first making it square, then adding another rectangle... and only when I turned it horizontal did it become graphically understandable again.
Every edge, every surface you see was drawn, painted, by me with the Photoshop brush. The lighting was recreated.
If you now look at my account, it appears very heterogeneous at first glance. Here, too, despite the strong similarities in composition, I haven't adapted to the contrasts and gray tones of the previous image.
Art, for outsiders and laypeople alike, can often only be understood as such if it is based on a certain long-term program, a concept, an idea, and doesn't appear arbitrary and random. Therefore, it is also completely independent of any aesthetic (on the contrary, it is always suspect).
It often thrives on disruption, not harmony. Sometimes, even ugliness, provocation, disturbance, banality, or "lack of talent" can make something artful.
For me, each image is important only as an individual. Each image gets its own frame, its own stamp. Everything has to do it justice.
Curiosity about diversity is in my nature, and I can afford to be completely indifferent to everything else. ;-) ...

Ich weiß ja, dass euch das gar nicht interessiert oder zumindest nicht so genau. Dennoch möchte ich das Bild und meine Fotografie im Allgemeinen erläutern.
Meine Kamera ist oft das Gleiche, wie früher Skizzenhefte von Malern, die noch keine Tubenfarben mit nach draußen nehmen konnten und das gesehene in ihren Skizzenheften zurück in ihr Atelier brachten, ihre Leinwände grundierten, das vorgezeichnete, meist im Maßstab und Dimension/Proportion verändert, übertrugen, es gegebenenfalls in vielen Schichten dann noch farblich differenzierten.
Jedes Bildteil, das ihr seht, ist wirklich neu konzipiert und vieles ist gar nicht der Ursprung von Gehrys "Origina".
Er lieferte Grundelemente und Anregungen in der Dreidimensionalität, die ich als Abstrakt zweidimensional ausnutzte, um sie dreidimensional erscheinen zu lassen.
So war das Grundbild, meines Foto, hier, erst senkrecht, rechteckig, mit einer Stelle im Original, die ich logisch, räumlich, gar nicht nachvollziehen konnte, dann, von mir verändert, erst quadratisch, dann wieder rechteckig ergänzt ... und erst als ich es in die Waagerechte brachte, wieder grafisch zu verstehen.
Jede Kante, jede Fläche, die ihr seht, ist von mir mit dem Photoshop-Pinsel gezeichnet, gemalt. Die Lichtsetzung wurde neu geschaffen.
Wenn man nun auf meinen Account schaut, so ist er sehr inhomogen, auf den ersten Blick. Auch hier habe ich mich nicht, obwohl viel Ähnlichkeit in der Komposition vorliegt, an die Kontraste und Grautönungen des Vorgängerbildes angepasst.
Kunst ist oft, für Außenstehende und Laien wie Profis, nur als solche zu begreifen, wenn ihr eine gewisse langfristige Programmatik, ein Konzept, eine Idee zugrunde liegt und sie nicht willkürlich und zufällig erscheint, eben darum auch vollkommen unabhängig von irgendeiner Ästhetik (im Gegenteil, sie ist immer verdächtig).
Sie lebt oft vom Bruch und nicht von der Harmonie. Manchmal machen sogar Hässlichkeit, Provokation, Verstörung, Banalität, "Unbegabtheit" eine Sache erst kunstverdächtig.
Mir ist jedes Bild nur einzeln wichtig. Jedes Bild bekommt seinen eigenen Rahmen, seine eigenen Stempel. Alles muss nur ihm gerecht werden.
Neugier auf Vielfalt ist meine Natur und ich kann es mir leisten, dass mir der Rest vollkommen egal ist. ;-) ...

The sun lights up Bell Butte (r) and an unnamed butte in Valley of the Gods, with Monument Valley on the horizon. The hazy atmosphere was due in part to the numerous vehicles driving the local dirt roads, seeking a place to watch the annular eclipse of the sun.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year, with good light and cooperative subjects throughout 2024!
some advice for 2024 shared from readers of the NYT:
We are all juggling so many balls. Differentiate between glass balls and rubber balls — and don’t be afraid to drop the rubber balls.
Wait as long as possible to get your kids a phone
Instead of calling someone out, call them in: Invite them into a judgment-free conversation with the intention of promoting understanding
Every time you receive a box containing something you bought online, fill it with items to donate
Nothing good is happening on your phone past 8 p.m
Just book the trip
Be a fountain, not a drain
Wear a watch. This way I pick up my phone half as often. How many times do you pick up yours to check the time and get sidetracked by 30 minutes of doomscrolling?
Walk at least a little way down into the Grand Canyon; don’t just stay up on the rim

The Batten Kill Railroad was and is a great railroad to visit for that classic short line experience. In a view from 20-plus years ago, Batten Kill's pair of Alco RS-3s gingerly tread through the village of Cambridge, NY. The scene was backlit under threatening skies, but still worth exposing a few frames of slide film as the units were briefly throttled up. It's not easy differentiating between the adjacent lawns and the BKRR right of way!
BKRR 605 RS-3 (ex-L&HR 10)
BKRR 4116 RS-3 (ex-D&H 4116)
Galaxy Explorer was my favourite set as a kid, so when Pete Reid nagged me into building something Classic Space it naturally led to this.
I wanted to capture the overall layout of the old set, but give it a really striking, modern look. The eureka moment was when I realised that instead of having the grey wing with a blue superstructure on top I could merge them into a single shape only differentiated in colour.
The model has a ramp that opens to reveal a buggy and uses custom LED lighting for the interior and engines etc. You can’t see it in the photos but there’s also blinking running lights and a cool pulsing effect on the engines. The windows are all trans-clear dyed yellow with turmeric.
The blue tit is one of the most colourful and recognisable birds in the UK garden. Their bold mixture of blue, yellow, white and green differentiate them from the crowd. As with the great tit, as it heads towards the colder months, blue tits gather together with other groups to search for food. If your garden has four or five blue tits at a feeder at one time, it is likely to be feeding 20 or more. You can spot the blue tit in woodland, hedgerows, parks and gardens. When feeding blue tits, you have a lot of choice. They feed mostly on insects and seeds however in spring they turn to pollen, nectar and sap whilst in autumn they enjoy berries
The roe deer, also called European roe deer to differentiate it from the Siberian roe deer, is the most common and smallest species of deer in Europe. As a decoy deer it is more closely related to reindeer, moose and the American white-tailed deer than to the red deer, which is also native to Central Europe.

Seen along the Meadowbrook at the Los Angeles County Arboretum. I believe this is a non-breeding male, but it is dfficult to differentiate from the female. He/she has a nice red-orange beak.
Indigo bunting, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, May 15, 2021.
It certainly stands out even for me (colour blind, aka Colour Differentiation Disorder).
Sat just above the water feature but didn't come down.
Passerina cyanea
Indigo Buntings migrate at night, using the stars for guidance. Researchers demonstrated this process in the late 1960s by studying captive Indigo Buntings in a planetarium and then under the natural night sky. The birds possess an internal clock that enables them to continually adjust their angle of orientation to a star—even as that star moves through the night sky.

This is second species of nomad bee hovering menacingly over the garden mining bee colony. These have varying amounts of red on the abdomen and could be one of two very similar species - Nomada flava or Nomada panzeri. I've spent ages poring over photographs but can't differentiate them with confidence. Consequently, I've started using the iRecotd recording category 'Nomada flava/panzeri'!!

This European butterfly is as beautiful as it is common in the central and Southern part of the butterfly's range. It will often rest with wings open showing the orange and black pattern for which fritillaries are noted. As you can see, here, it is displaying it's equally striking and impressive underside wing. It is generally these underwing patterns that are used to differentiate between the many fritillary species.
It is almost impossible to differentiate between the young males and females Satin Bowerbirds. That morning many birds seemed to be just fooling around and I caught this one swinging on a thin eucalyptus twig.
Living in the Pennines I see lots of Dippers. But they seem to prefer shady, wooded rivers to ones on the open hillside. So I was really pleased to stumble across a pair that were nesting behind a small waterfall in full sunshine out on the open moorland. I sat quietly and the Dippers came and went with nesting material. You can see on this photograph that below the white bib is a band of chestnut/orange that differentiates British Dippers from their black-bellied Continental cousins.
