This overlook of round valley (includes the towns of Eager and Springerville) gives the best view of this beautiful country. The monsoon clouds don't hinder the photo either :)
"I'm open for possibilities. I'm open for choices. I always welcome new ideas. I'm always eager to learn. I'm never going to close my mind from learning."
Quote - Cesar Millan
Our mountains..
I dreamed on your hillside and slept on your chest.
I was eager for the clouds and set my eyes on the summit..
Bizim dağlar..
Eteğinde hayal kurup, göğsünde uyumuşum.
Bulutlara heves edip zirvesine göz koymuşum..

Thank you :)
Absolutely adore photographing these little wrens - very vocal, very interesting and fun to observe bouncing around their territory!

Circus and building of the District President ...
In Germany, Regierungspräsident (district president, abbreviation RP) is the job title of the head of a federal state authority in the federal states of Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse, and North Rhine-Westphalia.
The jurisdiction of the authority defines a certain administrative division (Regierungsbezirk). The office holders are political civil servants, meaning they can be removed from their office by the government without reasons, and are appointed by the Minister President of the respective federal state.

Currently the dead of winter and work, so am working through some of my past trips. Here is a Beaver that was making it's way across a snowy afternoon.
Eurasian Siskin on my tray
Showing you my birds and their eagerness when eating, they are so messy and eat so much, lol
I have a huge tree in my garden, it is filled with cherries for a little while and my gardenbirds are eager to get their share and the cherries disappear pretty quickly
I have missed the flowers so many times, but today I was sitting and staring up at my tree and suddenly I saw these tiny flowers
No wonder I haven't seen them earlier, they were barely visible since the flowers are many meters up in the air
So I went up to catch my cherrie flowers
And I even got a bumblebee
What a treat
We've come a long way from debutants and cotillion balls.
I have started a new series for experimental portraits. I hope you enjoy it as much as I had fun making them.
I am thankful for all my friends and their eager cooperation.
I am also thankful for your support.
Models: Jessica, Melinda, Deborah, Amanda, and Karen.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
When out looking for the Hermit Warbler, this gem dropped by. It was eagerly searching all the trees for food
A highlight at the end of 2022
Eager with anticipation, often sat waiting for hours without seeing anything, but the time put in is more than worth it to catch a glimpse of this beautiful animal. I get a buzz every time I see them, and is one of the main reasons I visit Scotland regularly.
"Perfect" flowers will have structures called stamens that produce the pollen. A stamen consists of the anthers where the pollen is made and filaments which support the anther. Perfect flowers will also have the female reproductive structures called the pistil. Thus, a perfect flower may be described as bisexual or hermaphroditic.

An image taken along the banks of the Thames river here in London Ontario last week. I was looking for a good position to try and capture water fowl flying along the river and must have been close to this guys den. He was swimming right for me before disappearing into the darkness of the river. Made for some nice closeups though!
Thanks for viewing and have a great day :)
I love the doors, it is a photographic subject that I really like, because they give a lot of play and come in all shapes and colors.
But this was different because I had not seen anything like it. It is actually half door, the other half, given the low light was completely dark. I found in a farmhouse inhabited near Ogassa while I was walking looking for autumnal forest.
I suppose that must be the gates from one corral, but because of the total darkness of the interior, I did not dare to make more inquiries, lest came the farmer with a shotgun and with little desire to parley with a stranger who entered in his possessions .
Normally, they are very good people and eager to talk but now, no longer trust anyone. Me neither. Not going to be that they let go of the dogs.
He had always believed that photography was a safe and risk-free activity, but just in case, I left as fast as I could.
No more to say, a door is a door, just caught my attention textures and contrasts.

Me encantan las puertas, es un tema fotográfico que me gusta mucho, pues dan mucho juego y las hay de todas las formas y colores.
Pero esta come aparte, ya que no había visto nada parecido. En realidad es media puerta, la otra mitad, dada la poca luz, estaba completamente en penumbra. La encontré en una masía habitada cerca de Ogassa mientras paseaba buscando bosques otoñales.
Supongo que deben ser las puertas de un corral, pero debido a la oscuridad total del interior, no me atreví a hacer mas averiguaciones, no fuera que saliera el payés con la escopeta y con pocas ganas de parlamentar con un desconocido que entraba en su territorio. Normalmente, son muy buena gente y con ganas de charlar pero actualmente, ya no se fían de nadie. Y yo menos. No vaya a ser que me suelten los perros.
Siempre había creído que la fotografía era una actividad segura y sin riesgos, pero por si acaso me fui lo más rápido que pude.
No hay más que contar, una puerta es una puerta, solo me llamaron la atención sus texturas y contrastes.
Many thanks for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers
Black Kite
Scientific Name: Milvus migrans
Description: The Black Kite is a medium-sized raptor (bird of prey). From a distance, it appears almost black, with a light brown bar on the shoulder. The plumage is actually dark brown, with scattered light brown and rufous markings, particularly on the head, neck and underparts. The tail is forked and barred with darker brown. This feature gives the bird its alternative name of Fork-tailed Kite. The eye is dark brown and the bill is black with a yellow cere (area of skin around the nostrils). Both sexes are similar. Young Black Kites are generally lighter in colour than the adults, and have a comparatively shallower forked tail.
Similar species: The Black Kite's plumage is similar to other raptors (birds of prey), such as the Little Eagle, Hieraaetus morphnoides, Whistling Kite,Haliastur sphenurus, and Square-tailed Kite, Lophoictinia isura. In flight, however, its long forked tail and almost unmarked underwing make it unmistakable.
Distribution: The Black Kite's range covers the majority of the Australian mainland, as well as Africa, Asia and Europe. The Black Kite is arguably the most numerous species of raptor in the world.
Habitat: The Black Kite is found in a variety of habitats, from timbered watercourses to open plains, and is often observed in and around outback towns. Although it is more normally seen in small groups, the Black Kite may form huge flocks of many thousands of birds, especially during grasshopper plagues. No other Australian bird of prey is seen in such large flocks.
Feeding: The Black Kite preys on lizards, small mammals and insects, especially grasshoppers. It also is a scavenger, and frequents tips in outback towns. Black Kites also gather in flocks around bush fires, and eagerly pounce on small animals as these flee the flames. Both live and dead (carrion) prey is eaten.
Breeding: Black Kites nest in isolated pairs or in small, scattered colonies. As with other raptors, a ritualised aerial courtship display is performed by both sexes. This involves loud calling, grappling of feet (talons), and tumbling or cartwheeling. The nest is a bulky cup of sticks, lined with softer material, and is placed in the fork of a tree branch (generally close to the trunk). The female incubates the eggs while the male provides food.
Calls: The call is a descending whistle "psee-err" followed by a staccato "si-si-si-si-si".
Maximum Size: 55cm
Average size: 51cm
Average weight: 540g
Breeding season: Usually August and November; can breed at any time
Clutch Size: One to three.
Incubation: 28 days
Nestling Period: 40 days

Saw this beautiful bike and loved the way it looked sitting there. I’ve had several hot bikes and (to me) they always look as though they can’t wait to get going and to go as fast as possible on the way there. I speak as an authority on the subject.
