(couldn't resist posting another prairie chicken sparring shot)
This was from the morning gathering at the lek* - these are Lesser Prairie Chickens (they don't have as much brown in them). They share territory in some areas.
*A Lek is a hill/or rise area where birds and animals gather to do their courting and sparking!
Le Queyras est une vallée du département des Hautes-Alpes, mais également un parc naturel régional, où se pratiquent le ski en hiver et randonnée pédestre en été. Il est notamment traversé par le GR 58 qui permet d'en faire le tour ou le GR 5.
La vallée est traversée par le Guil et comporte sept communes aujourd'hui regroupées au sein d'une communauté de communes : Arvieux, Abriès-Ristolas, Aiguilles, Ceillac, Château-Ville-Vieille, Molines-en-Queyras et Saint-Véran. Ceillac ne faisait pas partie du Queyras historique : il appartenait à l'évêché d'Embrun et n'entrait pas dans l'escarton du Queyras.
Le parc est délimité au nord et à l'est par la frontière avec l'Italie, depuis le sommet du Grand Glaiza jusqu'à la tête des Toillies via le col Agnel. Puis il suit la crête délimitant le bassin versant de l'Ubaye jusqu'à la Mortice et remonte au nord-ouest jusqu'à Guillestre, dans la basse vallée du Guil, qui constitue la principale porte naturelle sur le Queyras. Depuis Guillestre, la limite suit la crête orientée Nord séparant la vallée d'Arvieux de la Durance et passant par le pic du Béal Traversier puis prend une direction nord-est jusqu'au col d'Izoard, passage mythique du tour de France cycliste et finit par la ligne de crête séparant la vallée des Fonts au nord et passant par le pic de Rochebrune, jusqu'à la frontière italienne. Le Queyras correspond au bassin versant du Guil ; son point culminant est le pic nord des pics de la Font Sancte et non le mont Viso dont le sommet se trouve dans le Piémont en Italie, mais dont le tour passe par le Queyras.
The Queyras is a valley located in the French Hautes-Alpes, of which the geographical extent is the basin of the river Guil, a tributary of the Durance. The Queyras is one of the oldest mountain ranges of the Alps, and it was one of the last ones to be opened to public tourism towards the end of the 20th century, thus being relatively untouched by environmental destruction.
The Queyras is also one of the 58 Regional nature parks of France.
The GR58, also known as the Tour du Queyras ("The tour of Queyras" in French), is a long-distance walking route that forms a 108-km hiking loop in the Queyras.

Malgré les nombreux périls auxquels le village de St Marcellin en Forez a du faire face, le village recèle de trésors architecturaux comme le Pont du diable, classé monument historique depuis 1921. Il est l'un des ponts les mieux conservés du Forez.
Il se situe à quelques kilomètres du bourg, au lieu dit Vérines. C'est un pont haut et étroit à deux arches datant du XIVème siècle. La Mare est la petite rivière qu'il enjambe. Ce pont semble mener nulle part. Pourtant il a facilité les communications entre la plaine et la montagne car plusieurs voies convergeant vers lui. On pense qu'il facilitait le passage des mulets chargés de chaux extraite à Sury-le-Comtal, en direction du Velay. On n'explique pas autrement la présence d'un pont qui n'était pas vraiment nécessaire au franchissement d'une rivière de cette taille sauf en période de crues, la Mare est une rivière assez capricieuse.
Classé Monument Historique en 1921, le Pont de Vérines connu sous l'appellation "Pont du Diable" ou "Pont Peyrard" franchit La Mare, rivière à régime torrentiel, au débouché des Monts du Forez. Formant un dos d'âne et composé de deux arches, son élan au-dessus de l'eau est impressionnant . L'avant bec de la pile était destiné à réduire les remous et à dévier les corps flottants. Sa hauteur peut indiquer le niveau des crues autrefois.
Ce pont est mentionné dans une charte du Forez au XIVème siècle sous l'appellation 'pont nouveau' et devait donc remplacer un plus ancien. Des moulins existaient au même endroit, leur association avec des ponts étant très fréquente au Moyen-Age. Cependant, nous ignorons leur dispositif d'origine ainsi que leur relation avec le Pont de Vérines. Selon toute vraisemblance ce dernier assurait la mise au sec d'un chemin utilisé pour le commerce de la chaux entre Saint-Marcellin-en-Forez et le Velay.
La libélula, debido a su posición en la cadena alimentaria, no tiene miedo. Así que si encuentras una volando a tu alrededor y mirándote directamente a los ojos, no te sorprendas ni te asustes. Ellas están acostumbradas a mirar con sus 30 000 ojos para encontrar comida y pareja.
Claro que aunque 30 000 es un número aproximado, ese es el número de ommatidia que tienen dentro de sus ojos compuestos. Al igual que todos los artrópodos, las libélulas tienen ojos compuestos, solo que los suyos son un poco más especializados, los adecuados para un depredador nato.
Cuando las libélulas ven, ver no es lo que hacen exactamente, sino que más bien ellas sienten. Sienten el movimiento en un ángulo mucho más amplio que cualquier humano podría incluso imaginar, ya que sus ojos son de tipo bola y ven un rango completo de 360 grados.
Esto ayuda a que la libélula pueda sentir el movimiento en cualquier lugar a su alrededor.
El cuerpo de la libélula es apoyado por dos pares de alas muy poderosas que la ayudan a flotar en la brisa más leve, pero puede batirlas rápidamente y con fuerza suficiente para volar incluso con un viento fuerte en contra.
A pesar de que estas alas son transparentes y parecen ser bastante frágiles, en realidad son mucho más fuertes de lo que podrían parecer a primera vista.
Muntjac Deer - Muntiacus reevesi
Doe
Reeves’ muntjac are small, stocky and russet brown in colour in summer and grey/brown in winter. Bucks have short (10 cm) antlers growing from long pedicles. Antlers are usually unbranched but a very short brow tine is occasionally found in old bucks. They also have visible upper canines (tusks) suggesting that they are a primitive species. Muntjac have two pairs of large glands on the face. The upper pair are the frontal glands, whilst the lower glands, below the eyes, are called sub-orbitals. Both glands are used to mark territories and boundaries. They have a ginger forehead with pronounced black lines running up the pedicles in bucks, and a dark diamond shape on does. The haunches are higher than the withers giving a hunched appearance. They have a fairly wide tail, which is held erect when disturbed.
Muntjac were brought from China to Woburn Park in Bedfordshire in the early 20th century. They are now widespread and increasing in number and range. Deliberate releases and escapes from Woburn, Northamptonshire, and Warwickshire led to the establishment of feral populations. Movement and release by humans led to their rapid spread across south and central England and Wales, however, north of the Humber distribution is patchy but reaches close to the Scottish border.
Muntjac like deciduous or coniferous forests, preferably with a diverse understorey. They are also found in scrub and overgrown urban gardens. Unlike other species of deer in Britain, muntjac do not cause significant damage to agricultural or timber crops. However, high densities may prevent coppice regeneration and the loss of some plants of conservation importance, such as primulas. Muntjac trophy hunting has only recently become popular so there is little tradition of muntjac stalking on country and forest estates. The most significant direct economic impact that muntjac have on human interests is in collisions with cars. However, this has welfare as well as economic implications.
In contrast to all other species of deer in Britain, muntjac do not have a defined breeding season (rut). Instead, they breed all year round and the does can conceive again within days of giving birth. Bucks may fight for access to does but remain unusually tolerant of subordinate males within their vicinity.
Does are capable of breeding at seven months old. After a gestation period of seven months, they give birth to a single kid and are ready to mate again within a few days.
Bucks can live up to 16 years and does up to 19 years, but these are exceptional.
Muntjac are generally solitary or found in pairs (doe with kid or buck with doe) although pair-bonding does not occur. Bucks defend small exclusive territories against other bucks whereas does' territories overlap with each other and with several bucks.
They are known as ‘barking deer’ from the repeated loud bark given under a number of circumstances. An alarmed muntjac may scream whereas maternal does and kids squeak.
Muntjac are active throughout the 24-hour period but make more use of open spaces during the hours of darkness in populations subject to frequent disturbance. Peak activity is at dawn and dusk. Long periods are spent ‘lying up’, where the deer lies down to ruminate after feeding.

Les Films du Poisson
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Films_du_Poisson
In Cooperation with:
MGM Studios
Is Proud To Present
A Twain Orfan Film:
Say Something !
The Critics Have Spoken:
'I haven't had much time to see Twain's movies lately, .. but this one really got to me. I was with a friend of mine, trying to eat pop corn, ya know ? ..and, .. I could barely chew it .. tears were just streaming down my face. It was really an emotional experience for me... One of his best films to date I'd have to say. [Gwyneth Evergarden / New York Times / Flickr Artist ]
'So, Lobo and me went to see this movie and we were like, ya know, the acting of the main star, Mollie. She was like .. 'Wow'. I guess Twain's directing skills have improved quite a bit. He'll never be a musician like my Lobo is. And this windlight he uses has got to go ! But, .. yeh. Great movie ! I kept pulling Lobo's arm around me for comfort. It was sad .. and touching. Bravo Twain ! [Carisa Franizzi / Baby Girl Times / Flickr Artist ]
'I don't really know Twain at all. So I thought I'd check out one of his movies and, ..well, .. the
cinematography was awesome ! It just hit me in my gut ! The lead actor, Mollie, she projected such emotion ... I felt her isolation. I just wanted to get up from my theater seat and give her a hug, ya know? It was a solid movie. [Betta B. / Chicago Times / Flickr Artist ]
'I finally had the time to see this movie of Twain's. It is definitely moody, sad, and pulls at your heart strings. It hits all the right notes. The Production behind the movie by both Claire Danes
www.imdb.com/name/nm0000132/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm and also by Reese Witherspoons Production Company 'Hello Sunshine' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_Sunshine_(company) insured the quality of the Production would be top notch !! Twain as the Director .. yes. He did seem to work with Mollie well. I can feel through out the film this constant searching for something 'more' .. the missing element. It is sad and touching. I admit .. I loved it.
[》Sιℛι《 Amblack 《 / Independent World Association / Flickr Artist ]
'I am on the same sim as Twain is ..I'm working near by on the MGM Studio lot. I am dressed in only a rather skimpy swimsuit. Twain comes up to me and asks me if I could help him out and be in this photo for him. Now .. I had heard that Twain is a bit of a caution. Actually .. insane ! Here I am in the middle of a photo shoot ..almost naked. I was ready to turn him down ..then he tells me. 'You'll need to put more clothes on for this movie.' .. Well? I've never had a Director tell me I'd need more clothes ! So I thought that was a good sign. So I walk off the MGM studio lot and go with Twain to this remote area. I sit down on these pillows, all comfy. Twain tells me.. 'No! No pillows ! ' Twain throws out the pillows .. ? So I'm sitting there on the bare wood. He asks me to tell him a sad story .. and I start to tell him about when I was much younger, and how I had this puppy .. how it suddenly took ill, .. and .. and .. [waves her hands in front of her face ],... sorry, .. I , ... I just can't ... go there ... Anyways, .. I just felt so sad and isolated. Alone. Twain really knew how to draw out my emotions. The funny thing is most Directors are really very talky .. talk a lot. Twain was really very quiet. It must have taken about an hour to do this one scene alone. But he seemed rather 'normal' ? I'd work with him again. The pay wasn't that great. But he seemed a good Director and he gave me a coupon that has a $35.00 Linden value at any Perkins Restaurant. He let me watch the dailies of the filming as it proceeded which no other Director had ever let me do before. Seemed like a decent fellow. So .. yeh .. I'd work with him again. What else can I say?
He dresses in a formal suit on set everyday .. that's a bit much. Other than that no complaints.

The direct stare of a SIka stag commands respect. Native to much of East Asia, the Sika Deer is also known as the 'Spotted' or 'Japanese Deer', 'Shika' being Japanese for 'Deer'. The population in Dorset is believed to have swam here from nearby Brownsea Island. The coat of this male is tending towards the dark grey winter coat rather than the chestnut red with whitish spots of summr.
Thank you all for your kind responses.
Direct sunlight reflected by face and camera, then via a mirror reflected back to the camera that registers only the strength of light, not its colours. The three points of interaction between photons and surfaces (face/camera, mirror, lens/sensor) must have reduced and modified the incoming light. Even when not taking into account that the final image becomes an image only when constructed in our brain, on a purely physical level the image can not possibly be a full representation of what is out there. It is a diminished representation - not of what "is" out there, but what "has been". Time is passing. The moment has gone. Photography is totally different from, say, painting. In painting, the act of painting is always in the present tense and the light is not received, it is created. Leica M246 Mono, Voigtlander AS 2.8/90, Olympus electronic viewfinder.

The Great Horned Owl – large, powerful, and long-lived – is adapted by its anatomy, physiology, and behavior to survive in any climate but arctic-alpine regions. Equally at home in desert, grassland, suburban, and forest habitats, north to the tree line, it has a diverse prey base and the most extensive range with the most variation in nesting sites of any American owl. Its large eyes are equipped with many rods for night vision and pupils that open widely in the dark. Although its eyes do not move, flexibility in the atlanto-occipital joint enables this owl to swivel its head more than 180° and to look in any direction. Its hearing is acute, assisted by facial disc feathers that direct sound waves to its ears. Wild - at Pantanal - Brasil.

We had nice clouds after some rain in the Silicon Valley. I headed to Alviso and I waited at the Amtrak train tracks for a train.
In Japanese, どですかでん (dodeskaden) is the sound a train makes when racing over tracks. I remembered this old film of the same name directed by Akira Kurosawa.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW long exposure, and carefully pulled the curves.

We took another walk yesterday down to the natural pools at the bottom of the waterfall in the nearby village; this time with my wide-angle lens. Dusk was fast approaching and so the mood with this photo is different as there was no direct sunlight filtering through the trees
portrait from vietnam
“Quando si fotografano persone a colori, si fotografano i loro vestiti. Ma quando si fotografano persone in bianco e nero, si fotografano le loro anime!”
– Ted Grant
Pubblico oggi questo ritratto eseguito in Vietnam nel 23 e che ha partecipato ad un paio di selezioni internazionali e che pertanto, non potevo pubblicare prima. E' un veterano che ho incontrato ad Hanoi, dove ora vive. Nell' album " Portrait " c'è un'altro scatto della stessa serie.
I am publishing today this portrait made in Vietnam in 23 and that has participated in a couple of international selections and therefore, I could not publish before. It is a veteran that I met in Hanoi, where he now lives
In the album "Portrait" there is another shot from the same series.

Depiction of the Last Supper in the St. Janskerk in Gouda. The church in Gouda, Zuid-Holland, boasts a magnificent collection of 16th-century stained-glass windows of biblical and historical scenes. As often happened in those days, this one blends the two by showing Philip II (the infamous king of Spain) and his spouse Mary Tudor as direct witnesses of the Last Supper. As donators of the window they were entitled to a front row seat in any possible event, historical or other. The piety and act of faith shown here in this Dutch church shouldn't fool anybody as Philip became during his reign (1556-1598) by his ruthless policy one of the worst enemies of the Dutch and would eventually be kicked out of the country. The window was crafted by Dirk Crabeth in 1557.

Sos del Rey Católico es un municipio español de la comarca de las Cinco Villas, al noroeste de la provincia de Zaragoza, en la comunidad autónoma de Aragón. Dependen del municipio cinco asentamientos de población: Barués, Novellaco, Mamillas, Campo Real y Sofuentes.
La ubicación de esta población, en una elevación del terreno rocosa la convirtió durante mucho tiempo en plaza fuerte y, desde que fue reconquistada en el siglo X, tuvo gran importancia como ciudad fronteriza. En 1044 fue incorporada por Ramiro I al Reino de Aragón.
En el año 1452, en plena Guerra Civil de Navarra, la reina Juana Enríquez se desplazó a la entonces llamada "Sos" a secas, donde dio a luz al infante Fernando que luego se convertiría en Fernando el Católico. Ese nacimiento añadió la coletilla de "del Rey Católico" al nombre de la población.
En 1711 fue nombrada Capital de las Cinco Villas.
Todo su casco histórico está muy bien conservado y el pueblo está declarado Conjunto Histórico Artístico y Bien de Interés Cultural en el año 1968. La excepcional conservación de su casco urbano hace que un paseo por esta localidad se convierta en un viaje al pasado destacando las murallas, iglesias, la Plaza de la Villa y el Palacio de los Sada, donde nació Fernando el Católico en el año 1452. En Sos del Rey Católico se rodó la película La vaquilla (1985) de Luis García Berlanga, en la que actuaron como extras muchos de los vecinos de la localidad.
En enero de 2016 entró a formar parte de La asociación de los pueblos más bonitos de España.
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sos_del_Rey_Católico
Sos del Rey Católico (in Aragonese: Sos d'o Rei Catolico) is a historic town and municipality in the Cinco Villas comarca, province of Zaragoza, in Aragon, Spain.
Located on rocky and elevated terrain, this important border town served well as a stronghold from the year 907 when it was reclaimed by Sancho I of Pamplona.
It was incorporated in 1044 by Ramiro I into the Kingdom of Aragon.
In the year 1452, during the Navarrese Civil War, Queen Juana Enríquez de Córdoba moved to the town, then called "Sos". There she gave birth to the infante Ferdinand on March 10, 1452, who later became Ferdinand II of Aragon, one of the Catholic Monarchs. His birth added "d'o Rei Catolico" to the name of the town, which translates as "of the Catholic Monarch".
In 1711 it was named as the capital of the Cinco Villas.
The exceptional preservation of the historic center makes a stroll around this town becomes a journey into the past highlighting the city walls, churches, Plaza de la Villa and the Palacio de los Sada, where Ferdinand was born in 1452.
The film La vaquilla was shot in Sos with many locals working as extras. It was directed by Pablo Garcia Albano.
Leadership and development of tomorrows leaders today. They volunteer throughout the year for many events. They do much of there volunteering working with veterans.
