As these two were doing at Bryce Canyon National Park.
Every year, Bryce Canyon National Park awes visitors with spectacular geological formations and brilliant colors. The towering hoodoos, narrow fins, and natural bridges seem to deny all reason or explanation, leaving hikers gazing around with jaws agape in wondrous incredulity. This surreal landscape is what brings people from around the world to visit Bryce Canyon National Park.
How are those Hoodoos and fins formed? It starts with rainwater seeping into cracks in the rock. The water freezes during Bryce’s cold nights, expands and breaks apart the rock. The deep, narrow walls called “fins” result from rain and snowmelt running down the slopes from Bryce’s rim. Eventually the fins form holes (called windows), and when the windows grow larger they collapse and create the bizarre hoodoos that we see today.

It looks like I've put a vignette on this photo (which I haven't), so much so that it got me wondering and checking other photos with that lens - which seem fine to my rubbish eye. I centre weighted the metering on the white flowers so it must be a combo of that and the shady light. Can't think what else created that effect - never noticed it on other lenses. Any other explanation will be glad to hear it........
I think it works quite well though.
This beauty is member of the falconry of the wildlife park Eekholt. I am always again fascinated of these gorgeous birds..

The Tebinquinche Lagoon is a large lagoon in the Salar de Atacama that impresses by the amount of salt. On the day of my visit, we could hardly see the thick layer of salt, a lot of rainwater, forming an impressive scenery with the blue of the sky, against mountains and volcanoes.
It is not allowed to enter the lagoon, nor to get too close. The whole area is preserved and we can only walk along a marked trail around the Tebinquinche Lagoon. In this place we did a walk that lasted about half an hour, with some stops along the way where our guide gave several explanations about the origin of the place and also other interesting information of the Atacama region.
Gerrie was explaining to Huntley what the white cups were for. I personally like tea over coffee but do like it occasionally.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
It's said that the West was built on legends...and that legends are a way of understanding things greater than ourselves. Forces that shape our lives. Events that defy explanation. Individuals whose lives soar to the heavens...or fall to the earth. This is how legends are born.
Isn't this cutie adorable? A young harbor seal watching us very curious.

Niente storie, niente detagli, solo un attimo a guardare questa rosa ai suoi ultimi giorni di gloria e bellezza.
No stories, no details, only an instant to admire this rose at it's last days of glory and beauty.
I've mentioned "karst" in my previous photo and I'd like to visualize it with this photo.
I was talking about the "Gottesacker", a Karst landscape on the Hoher Ifen. Imagine the cracked rock face in this photo as a huge area with even deeper cracks and crevasses, lying under your feet. That is a Karst landscape. It took millions of years for rain and streams to dissolve part of the limestone (like the one we see here).
This photo was taken from the same spot as the previous one.
These animals are a mystery for me, absolutely fascinating and so beautiful. Spending their lifes floating through the sea. No brain inside, no bones, no eyes.. What a strange way of life.

This song sparrow was telling me the reason I shouldn't approach any further on the path. Unfortunately, I had too far to go to return back the way I came, so it eventually had to be the one to yield.
Still watching the konik horses. Here two foals are playing together. They were so adorable!

POSTING JUVENILE BIRDS FROM HOME.
=====================================
JUVENILE is similar to a adult but the colours are subdued, utters a harsh tche-tche-tche alarm call, and the song is a stiking variation on a teecha-teecha-teecha theme. The great tit is widespread, and resident all year round. One of our nest boxes, was successfully used by them, with the result above. On occasions, they can become remarkably bold when, for example, attracted into the garden with food, they tend to be a dominant force, top of the pecking order among small birds, the only exception to this is a greenfinch.
======================================================
Thank you for your visit and comment, will enjoy visiting and commenting on your lastest image.

Hello world, just an explanation: I haven't use any artificial light in this picture. That's the "magic" of this place...the warm colours reflected in the "departing" boats come from the streetlamps scattered around the avenue which follows the sea shore.
Hola mundo, una breve explicación: no he usado luz arificial, qué va, esto es justamente la magia del lugar...los colores cálidos reflejados en las barcas que "añoran el mar" proceden de las farolas del paseo de la playa.

A bit of explanation might be helpful... our little town in west Ireland holds a tractor parade each Christmas season, and my photo captures one (rather blurry) participant as it passes a pub. Now, Fitzpatrick may be the name on the sign, but everyone knows it by the current owner's name, to the extent that if you said you were going to Fitzpatrick's for a pint your mate might hesitate to know which pub you were referring to. The shops on either side are vacant; one for years, one for decades. Our man in the doorway, hiding a pint behind his back, is an old friend, but hates having his photo taken. Years ago I attempted to take his portrait, and he quite seriously threatened to shove the camera down my throat. I love the awe with which the little ones are struck by the sight of the illumniated Santa on the front of the passing tractor. Oh, the little joys of small town life. (Dear Santa; please bring me a 1.2 lens; anything is better than the f 4 I have for shots like this one.)
A candid street style Snap captured two women chatting. One appeared to be explaining something to the other.
