"All 335 living species of hummingbirds are found exclusively in the Americas. These birds astounded and fascinated the adventurous European naturalists who first encountered them zipping about in the tropics. Ever since, the logical assumption has been that this family of tiny, hovering birds originally evolved in the New World. It therefore came as a great surprise when in 2003 a fossil-bird expert named Gerald Mayr recognized that several 30-million-year-old remains from a site in southern Germany were actually fossil hummingbirds. Mayr carefully described those hummingbird fossils, clearly documenting that hummingbirds occurred in the Old World during the early part of their evolutionary history.
Mayr’s specimens were clearly hummingbirds—features of their bone structure showed that they could rotate their wings to hover, and their elongated bills even suggested that they fed on flowers. However, these first-known European hummingbirds differed from all present-day hummingbirds in various details of their anatomy, suggesting that they were an early precursor on the hummingbird evolutionary tree.
A spectacular new hummingbird specimen from the same early period was recently unearthed in southern France and described by a team of paleontologists. The skeleton of the new hummingbird fossil is nearly complete, and the rock matrix around the bones even reveals the outline of the bird’s feathers, making it easily possible to discern the shapes of this ancient hummingbird’s wings and tail.

Another day is gone by.. Standing high, looking on a wide spectrum of things, and see, and realize, that we keep on evolving in so many directions.

I'm going to make other people I follow anyways. It's fun!
Cambridge fence.
I spotted this railing while walking along the Backs in Cambridge.
I love rust! (... and perspective and blur too, clearly.) (Hmmm...how can you love blur clearly? :) ).
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Fence Friday :)
[Handheld in daylight.
Developed simply in Capture One, mainly to emphasise the blue in the fence paint and take down the greens a bit.
Sharpened with Unsharp Mask in Affinity. Added a gradient mask to the bottom left corner to take down the brightness. Avoided a vignette to retain people, top left.]
I've taken a few more shots like these in the past but a recent photo I've stumbled upon by someone else inspired me to take another one.
The Northern Harrier Hawk evolved to fill a unique ecological niche - it seems other raptors were not frustrating enough to attempt to photograph, so this one evolved to push me right over the edge. I think I'm going to be extinct soon from these birds!
A day at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
Ring-tailed lemurs are listed as endangered on the IUCN red list.
Endemic to Madagascar, Ring-tailed lemurs are easy to spot due to their long, striped black and white tails. Thought to have floated to Madagascar on rafts of vegetation millions of years ago, lemur’s like many of Madagascan species have evolved very differently to other animals around the world due to Madagascar’s isolation. A fun fact for all the ladies out there, it is actually the females that are dominant in lemurs.
Ring-tailed lemurs use their distinctive tails to to communicate with each other, they will also use them in “stink battles” by rubbing scents on their tails and flicking them at other lemurs.
Ring-tailed lemurs spend a lot of their time on the ground (as you might notice when you are at the park) foraging for fruit, leaves, flowers, sap and tree bark to eat.

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
Foto feta amb una Rolleiflex Original (K1 612) fabricada el 1929; objectiu Carl Zeiss Tessar f3.8 / 75mm; pel·licula Fomapan 100 de format 120 re-enrollada en format 620, revelada "stand" en Rodinal.
Diu la llegenda que Reinhold Heindecke, durant la 1a Guerra Mundial, va tenir la idea de disenyar una càmera que es pogués fer servir com un periscopi per fotografiar des de la trinxera sense ser vist. Als anys 20 aquesta idea va anar evolucionant molt, però al final el que donà fou la Rolleiflex com a mare de totes les càmeres reflex de dos objectius (TLR).
Però heus aquí que es pot fer servir una Rolleiflex tal i com va somiar Heindecke, per fotografiar panorames per sobre d'obstacles (invertint la càmera i mirant amunt): com aquí, amb la vista del Vapor Casanovas, de Sabadell, on estan començant obres de rehabilitació (i per tant hi ha una gran valla metal·lica).

================================================
Picture taken with my Rolleiflex Original (K1 612) made in 1929; Carl Zeiss Tessar f3.8 / 75mm lens; Fomapan 100 film, respooled to 620 format, stand developed in Rodinal for 56 minutes.
Legend has it that Reinhold Heindecke, during World War I, had the idea to design a camera that could be used as a periscope to photograph from the trench without being seen. In the 1920s this idea evolved a lot, but in the end what resulted was the Rolleiflex as the mother of all two-lens reflex cameras (TLR).
But see, you can use a Rolleiflex just as Heindecke dreamed, to photograph panoramas above obstacles, inverting the camera and looking upwards: like here, with the view of the Vapor Casanovas, in Sabadell, where rehabilitation works are starting (and therefore there there is a large metal fence).

What is it about hospitals that make them so depressing?
Is it the circumstances in which you visit them?
Is it that they are so damned bureaucratic and rigidly devoted to the details of administrative procedure?
Is it that they ban photography?
Is it that they started off planned, but evolved into a higgledy piggledy mess?
Is it that they were never planned properly in the first place?
Is it the boring architecture?
I find hospitals very depressing.
I took this picture by the depressing bus stop, whilst waiting to abuse my depressing NoWcard , catch the depressing bus, and head on out of the depressing place.
Friends,
I will be spending far less time on flickr than I have in the past. I will continue to post my pictures and visit your streams from time to time as my schedule permits, but I have far too much going on in my life to devote the amount of time as i have in the recent months. I hope that i will continue to have the many friendships i have made and hope you will understand if i visit your photo streams less than l have to this point.

Evolvulus genus flowers, in the Convolvulaceae family, are frequently referred to as non-twining dwarf morning glories.
Streetsville (Mississauga). My friend, Steve Maxwell, took me out to get some practice with his XT. I'm going to buy either an XTi or the new Canon 450 that will appear within the next few months.
Steve took the picture; I processed it.
We stopped in Giverny, to see the home and gardens of Claude Monet, where he spent the last 40 years of his life - digging, planting, weeding, and painting... after seeing his paintings, it's really quite stunning to see this with your own eyes.
This Japanese style water garden includes a peaceful bamboo forest and was designed entirely by Monet, starting in 1893 and was a constantly evolving creation, changing in appearance according to the time of day and the season, always offering new perspectives.
TGIF and have a wonderful weekend !
