The Monumental complex of Valsanzibio was brought to its contemporary magnificence in the second half of the Seventeenth Century by the Venetian noble Giovani Francesco Barbarigo, assisted by his sons Antonio and Gregorio. In fact, it was this last son, the first-born, Gregorio—Cardinal and Bishop of Padua and future saint—who inspired the symbolic meaning of the plan drawn by Luigi Bernini— the top Vatican architect and fountain expert. The then Cardinal Gregorio Barbarigo, as the result of a solemn ‘vow’ made by his Father to our God in 1631 , desired the garden of Valsanzibio to be a monumental, symbolic pathway to perfection; a journey that brings man from the false to the
truth, from ignorance to revelation.

This little fellow is an expert in his field! A Grey Squirrel that loves peanuts. How does a Squirrel in this part of the country grow up to know that this is something good to eat. The Peanuts don't grow locally, so someone must have taught them that they are good!
Broghammerus reticulatus or Malayopython reticulata, Netted Python, once had a nice, short name. Back in 1801 it was first described under the name Boa, then later it was called a bit longer: Python. And in the first decade of our own century a dispute arose on whether to call it by the long Broghammerus reticulatus or Malayopython reticulata. The ARTIS zoo clearly chose the former name, after German reptile lover and expert on pythons, Stefan Broghammer. The 'reticulatus' is for its 'net-shaped' markings.
Photographed in the Oak Creek Wildlife Area, Cowiche Unit. I believe I have this plant correctly identified, but I am not an expert. If you believe I am incorrect please let me know. There are multiple common names for native plants so I include the scientific name. IMG_7487
The Bottle Brush shrub is related to the New Zealand native Pohutukawa, but the two plants are quite different.
I'm certainly not an expert on New Zealand plants, but for starters, the Bottle Brush (above) is a shrub; the Pohutukawa grows into a tall tree, and: the Bottle Brush flowers look just like a brush that would be used to wash the inside of a bottle - whereas the Pohutukawa flower (though the same colour) is round in shape.
This Bloom was captured whilst on the same Walk as the Plovers were found in the previous Image - and like Pohutukawa (and their near cousins the Rata), they add a lovely splash of Red wherever they're found...!
I had to start work at 6am this morning, and although I was home by 3:30pm, I have to admit: I was - and am - feeling rather shattered (I must have been on holiday for too long)...! Then the Internet (AND disaster of disasters) Cable TV!!! went down as Gale-force winds roared up the Valley at high speed, and so - unable to get onto the Web - I went for a walk, wrote a couple of letters to Flickr Friends... posted this photo, and have now finally decided it's time to call it a night!
So I'm sorry Folks: I'll catch up with all your photos in the morning (I'm back on holiday!), but in the meantime: thanks for all your kind Comments!

Alpine Chough / Alpendohle (Pyrrhocorax graculus)
My first sighting of the awesome Alpine Chough! This was one of a pair that I was pleasantly surprised to see hanging out for a few minutes on the rooftop of the solitary "Grubighütte", situated ~1800m up the at the top of the Grubigstein mountain - just next to the famous 3000m Zugspitze.
Other than their chosen environment, they can be told from other crows by their red legs and slim, downturned bills.
Alpine Choughs are high mountain experts, and are thought to nest at a higher altitude than any other bird. Their eggs are adapted to the thin atmospheres, enabling improved oxygen uptake and reduced water loss. (Wiki)
A white stork efficiently dispatching an eel - apparently their favourite food - on the Ria Formosa at Ludo. The eel was found, killed and swallowed in well under a minute.
I was fooled when I first saw this, thinking it was a real dragonfly.
(Dedicated to my old E-410 ... a great introduction to Olympus cameras).
I'll readily admit I thought this might be a fragment of fossil wood. However, it has been re-identified by a well-known local expert as the fragment of an Ichthyosaurus rib bone. The specimen is approx 1 3/4" / 4cms long.
Here is Wiki's short version simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthyosaurus
