New Holland Honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae)
Nev's extended family are back in our garden. No doubt scouting around for the best nesting spots for the coming season.
Oia is a scenic village on the north west edge of the Santorini island within the Cyclades. It extends for almost 2 km (1.2 miles) along the northern edge of the caldera that forms the island of Santorini, at a height of between 70 and 100 m (230 and 330 feet) above sea level. Immediately to the east is Phinikia), and about 500 m (550 yards) to the north is Tholos Amoudi Bay lies below the town. The small fishing village of Ormos Armen lies below Oia to the south and is reached via steps. There is a ferry connection to Therasia from the harbour village of Ormos Ammoudi (Όρμος Αμμουδιού; also spelled Amoudi) to the west. There are 300 steps down to the port from Oia. The small island of Agios Nikolaos lies to the southwest
This is another photo from my excursion to Sensorio in December. It's been extended through June due to it's popularity. I went at sunset, it's beautiful as it gets dark.
Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder. Consequently, I have chosen to explore digital AI artwork as an alternative. I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it diverges from traditional photography. However, I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.
Rot ist eine der Primärfarben. Manche weisen ihr Aggressivität als Merkmal zu, Das muss nicht immer stimmen. In die Farbfülle einer natürlichen Umgebung eingebettet entfaltet Rot eine durchaus angenehme Wirkung,
The favorite color of most people is blue. But red also has a lot to offer in his gradients.
Is there such a thing as being too relaxed? I had to take this blind as I was holding the camera high above her - a couple had missing heads but I managed it in the end
I used the fish-eye mode on my PowerShot for this Tiger Lily in my garden.

Mossy Throne - Recently, I had a dream encounter of a Gray Fox kit relaxing in a mossy Bigleaf Maple in the wilderness. Despite seeing several Gray Foxes over the years, I never had the opportunity to photograph kits before, let alone in a tree.
Gray Foxes fascinate me because they are the oldest extant lineage of canid (which means they branched off from other canids the longest time ago). They are not closely related to red foxes and consume more berries/vegetation than their more carnivorous distant relative. They also have several other unique adaptations and behaviors such as semi-retractile claws and tree-climbing.
It was challenging to expose the fox's eyes and avoid blowing the background - but I tried my best to do so real time. Special thanks to a good friend for making this opportunity possible.

La Ceja, Colombia; 2300 meters above sea level.
The Inca jay (Cyanocorax yncas) is a bird species of the New World jays, which is endemic to the Andes of South America.
Their basic diet consists of arthropods, vertebrates, seeds, and fruit.
The range extends southwards in the Andes from Colombia and Venezuela through Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.

The Great Bastion is a five-storey bastion with a semicircular plan. Its weight extends over the space of the parkland into the moat. A wooden ochodza was built on the side away from the town, on the level of which stone brackets have been preserved. It is connected to the Red Bastion by a castle wall.
Red (Royal) Bastion is a three-storey bastion with a semicircular ground plan decorated with red squaring. It is open on the side away from the town. It strengthened the defence of the Lower Gate. Under the upper cornice, on the outer shell, the remains of the coat of arms of the town and the coat of arms of Hungary are preserved, which were painted in 1597 by the then richtár Leonard Glatz.
Green Hylia (Hylia prasina) A tiny, restless sprite of West African forests, the Green Hylia is more often heard than seen. Its clear, whistled phrases drift from the mid-storey as it flits through tangled vines and shaded undergrowth, usually in pairs. Despite its vivid green plumage, it melts seamlessly into foliage, revealing itself only in brief flashes of movement.
This species feeds mainly on small insects gleaned from leaves and twigs, often hanging acrobatically while foraging. During the breeding season, Green Hylias construct a delicate hanging nest, well concealed among dense vegetation—an elegant solution for life in the forest interior.
Unassuming in size but rich in voice and character, the Green Hylia is a reminder that some of the forest’s most captivating birds are also its most easily overlooked.
I feel a sense of accomplishment with this photo as I believe there are only 2 birds in the Hylia family - HYLIIDAE. This one and the Tit Hylia(smallest bird in Africa - already in my stream ) which I have both seen and photographed. This was shot on the Kakum canopy and as much as I hate using extenders (as they slow down the auto focus) I ended up using it in manual focus and the skirtish nature of the birds intensifying that challenge.

As we reached the bottom of the Navajo Loop trail at Bryce Canyon, we saw this lonely Douglas fir tree sticking straight up between the rocks.
The Navajo Loop Trail drops down into the amphitheater and passes through "Wall Street," a narrow switchbacked slot between sheer cliffs, with towering Douglas fir trees growing along the trail. The Navajo Loop Trail extends 1.3 miles, starting and ending at Sunset Point, with an ascent/descent of 550 feet.
DESCRIPTION:
When we take a picture during a sunset , usually we are attracted by the bright colors we see in the west and rarely point the camera in the opposite direction, towards the east. Yet, if the condition are favorable (clear and transparent sky ) the show we would see would be just as beautiful. This photo, taken by Acireale, a city of Sicily located on a hill overlooking the Ionian Sea , wants to be a testimony. The color element that dominates and characterizes it is the pink band extended for about 20 degrees above the horizon, known as “ the belt of Venus”.
The belt of Venus is an atmospheric phenomenon due to backscattering of the red sunlight at sunset by the particles of the atmosphere that are on the opposite side of the sun.
Near the horizon, due to the shadow projected by the Earth, the belt progressively decreases in brightness and color until it disappears completely.
The phenomenon lasts a few minutes and is visible even at down, just before sunrise.
I had hard time in choosing the color of my latest origami-tessellation "Starry Flowerbed"…… I uploaded yesterday the mixed color version. But I find the other colors also interesting, because they emphasize a different aspect of this tessellation, at least in my eyes……. so I decided to show you all of them…
Folded with "Anett-Paper', grid 1:96, hexagon 43cm.
The final size 20cm.
If you are interested to see more, have a look at my tessellation album Origami - Tessellation Progression".
This image is a companion to the previous image and shows "the eager eater" receiving that serving of suet from his mother.

One source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains range is about 1,000 km (620 mi) in length. Its highest point is 7,090 m (23,260 ft) located 100 km (62 mi) to the northwest of Lhasa. The range is parallel to the Himalayas in the Transhimalayas, and north of the Brahmaputra River. [3] Another source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains extend 460 miles (740 km) from Nyêmo County in the west to Ranwu County (the southwestern part of Baxoi County) in the east.
Its highest peak is Mount Nyenchen Tanglha (Nyainqêntanglha Feng) at 7,162 metres (23,497 ft).[4]
The southern side of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains is precipitous, and falls by around 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), while the northern side is fairly level and descends about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). Most of the mountains are below 6,500 metres (21,300 ft).[5] They contain 7080 glaciers covering an area of 10,700 square kilometres (4,100 sq mi).[4]
The Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains have an average latitude of 30°30'N and a longitude between 90°E and 97°E. Together with the Gangdise Shan located further west, it forms the Transhimalaya [a] which runs parallel to the Himalayas north of the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
The Drukla Chu river rises in the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, where it is called the Song Chu river, and joins the Gyamda Chu river. The combined rivers run about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast to the Yarlung Tsangpo river.

Long-beaked common dolphins are gregarious and are often seen ‘porpoising' at the water surface, breaching and bow-riding for extended periods of time. They are also highly vocal and like the short-beaked common dolphin, can be heard whistling to each other when they are above the surface of the water. They typically travel in large social groups numbering between 10 and 50 dolphins.
A plena luz de sol sucede el día,
el día sol, el silencioso sello
extendido en los campos del camino.
Yo soy un hombre luz, con tanta rosa,
con tanta claridad destinada
que llegaré a morirme de fulgor.
Y no divido el mundo en dos mitades,
en dos esferas negras o amarillas
sino que lo mantengo a plena luz
como una sola uva de topacio
(Pablo Neruda)
San Francisco Square in the Historic Center of Quito.
From left to right, in the San Francisco building, you can see the doors of the Chapel of Cantuña, the Chapel of Villacísla, the main church, the convent and the museum.
***
The Church and its chapels (La Iglesia de San Francisco), which were considered sacred places.
Together, Church and Convent encompass three hectares including 13 cloisters (six of them major), three churches, and a large courtyard. In total, about 40,000 square meters of construction. San Francisco follows the classical typology of medieval monasteries. The main Church is the guiding axis and from there the cloister galleries extend: the refectory, the chapterhouse, and winery. These define a quadrangular courtyard, with the four respective pandas, or galleries: that of the chapter room, the refectory, the converts, and the mandatum. In addition to the basic dependencies of a convent, there were areas devoted to health care, education, crafts, a garden, and even a jail (to maintain strict discipline). The kitchen and dispensery operated in the cloister of services.

Walking from the Old Town’s narrow colonial streets into this open plaza reveals one of the finest sights in all of Ecuador: a sweeping cobblestone plaza backed by the mountainous backdrop of Volcán Pichincha, and the long, whitewashed walls and twin bell towers of Ecuador’s oldest church.
***
The Public Square (Plaza de San Francisco) was a purely urban space, demarcated and connected to various public activities (teaching, market, water supply).

Sad part of our History.
In pre-Hispanic Quito, the current lands of the Church and Convent of San Francisco were occupied by the royal palace of the Inca Huayna Cápac, before the advance of the armies commanded by the Spaniards from the south and the impossibility of defending the city the indigenous general Rumiñahui arranged the total destruction of it. In the city fire the palace was destroyed and buried under a huge amount of rubble and garbage. One of Rumiñahui's soldiers was the great-grandfather of the indigenous Cantuña, who as an eyewitness to the events had full knowledge of what was buried in the place. The construction of the church and convent of San Francisco began around 1537, just three years after the Spanish foundation of the city, with the completion of a provisional temple that was maintained until 1550, when construction of the current building began and which was completed around 1680. Although the building was officially inaugurated in 1705.
Ruines de l’ancienne chartreuse de Vallon (France)
La chartreuse de Vallon (latin Vallonis) ou prieuré Sainte Marie de Vallon (latin Prior de Bella valle) est un ancien monastère de l'ordre des Chartreux. Il a été fondé au début du XIIè siècle à Bellevaux, dans le Chablais, aujourd'hui dans le département de la Haute-Savoie.
