The expectant looks on the faces of these two chicks as they search for signs that mum has food to give them.
Each chick has a dot of white near the tip of their beak and it was fun watching them walking quickly across the lily pads to get to the food bought to them.
It is interesting how the tip of mum's open beak has cast its shadow on the lily pad located immediately behind her and the first chic.
I spent over an hour photographing these coots and watching mum and dad foraging for food. Every now and again dad would wander off, up or down the river attending to perimeter defense.
As adults, [all] coots have a drab color scheme, with black bodies and white bills. Their chicks, however, have an aesthetic that’s part drunk friar, part disheveled lion, and part tequila sunrise. Their faces and bald pates are bright red, while their necks are encircled in scruffy yellow-orange plumes - extract from an article by Ed Yong, "The Survival Advantage of Being a Fancy Baby Coot" printed in 'The Atlantic', date unknown

Nevada City is an unincorporated community in Madison County, Montana, United States. In the 1880s, it was one of the two major centers of Commerce in what was known as one of the "Richest Gold Strikes in the Rocky Mountain West", sharing this role with its sister city Virginia City. Since the late 1990s, Nevada City has become a tourist attraction for its collection of 19th century buildings within or surrounding the Nevada City Museum & Music Hall.
Archaeological evidence found between the Music Hall and the Nevada City Hotel would indicate earlier than mining era habitation, possibly by white hunters or trappers. The earliest white hunters and trappers in the area had no conscious intention of establishing a city on the site, because the existence of a city would have presumably destroyed their economic base, which was based on the harvesting of beaver.
Nevada City, settled June 6, 1863, contemporary in settlement with Virginia City, as miners following the Fairweather party settled the length of Alder Gulch, and established homes, and businesses in convenient locations, the length of the gulch was known as 14 mile city. Nevada City was the first to become an incorporated city, on February 9, 1865, fully constituted a body corporate and politic. In 1896, the Conrey Placer Mining Company was organized to dredge the gulch for the next 24 years, destroying many of Nevada City’s buildings. The dredges were then disassembled and the heavy wooden barges were left to slowly be reclaimed by nature.
Nevada City was populated by placer miners working several mining districts including Browns Gulch just south of the town and Granite Creek, about two miles northwest of Nevada City. Nevada City was occupied by residents as early as June 6, 1863, and its boom era was between 1863–1875, at this point it was boasted that Nevada City was home to dozens of stores and housing that stretched for six blocks (“Nevada City.”). By 1869, the population of the mining camp had fallen to about 100 people. In 1869 mercantile representation included three general stores, and two saloons. In April 1872, the city contained one miners' store, one brewery, blacksmith shop, butcher shop, livery stable, and a Masonic Hall. Most of the citizens were engaged in mining pursuits, but some of the residents had farms and stock in the valley. In 1875 Nevada City's Population was still in decline, by 1880 the Nevada City census listed 50 people occupying 16 dwellings (US Census 1880). The most commonly listed occupation of Nevada City's working class was "placer miner."
When the mining had come to an end in 1922, about $2.5 billion worth of gold in today's market had been extracted.
An extract from this morning's Journal:
Up at 5 this morning and out in the safari vehicles before dawn. Our guide promised us two male lions; much excitement. As he searched we came upon Kudu, Impala, Springbok, Zebra, Eland, Baboons, Vervet Monkeys, Hartebees and any number of raptors and smaller birds.
Over the radio the other guide said he'd found two lions resting by the road at the top of a rise. By now the sun was just above the horizon and the lions were catching the first of the morning warmth.
We arrived to find two safari vehicles with the lions. We circled around them at a safe distance, the low angle of the sun on their faces was perfect, I couldn’t stop taking photos.
I should have been photographing my grandchildren climbing on the fallen trees but was taken with this small patch of bark detail on one of the trees. The resulting image was dry, dull & flat but returning a couple of days later after rain the colours and detail were really brought to life.
Mines de fer. Alquife. Espagne 2020.
Son nom arabe "al-Kahf", la grotte, dénote son passé d'exploitation minière commencée par les romains.
Les mines de Alquife furent et continuent à être l'orgueil minier de la province de Grenade. C'est une exploitation en plein air et elle jouit d'une beauté caractéristique.
Depuis très longtemps son histoire a été liée à l'extraction de minéraux que les romains utilisaient déjà.
Pendant la période arabe-andalouse les mines continuèrent à être exploitées et ce sont les arabes qui donnèrent un nouveau nom au lieu: al-Kahf, d'où vient Alquife.
Historiquement, il fait partie de la région connue sous le nom de Marquesado del Zenete.

Extract from the context volumes, colors and shapes by subjectively creating a new self-sufficient harmony.

Definition: a small elite securing and extracting ("raking in") an excessive slice of the economic cake without investing in the common good. In the UK, this has created a high-inequality, high-poverty cycle. This cycle is the responsibility of the British Tory Party and, consequentially, the rake ought to be its visual signature - not the tree.

I had a molar extracted and it caused me a fair amount of pain so I worked in the mornings and then spent the afternoons this week in bed. I've discovered that Pippi is as big a couch potato as I am. She LOVES TV. George thought she just liked bird videos created for cats so I showed her a couple of those. She loved them but I got bored so I switched tabs on my Chromebook and went back to watching TV shows. Turns out Pippi likes those too! She's never sat on either of our laps until I hauled out the Chromebook and suddenly she wants the best seat in the house - lying on me as I try to watch TV. She will truly sit still for 2 hours watching the screen on my Chromebook. I have no idea what she sees or what she's thinking but I love our new routine of chilling in the afternoons watching TV together.
Happy Caturday: Describe your cat in one word
(Sorry, "couch potato" is two words but it perfectly describes Pippi this past week.)
Cette photo est décalée... photo de Norvège. J'ai décalé d'une lettre le nom (NORVEGE en français)... ce qui donne OPSWFHF... titre de la photo... j'ai extrait cela de la prochaine photo (4053 UN AUTRE REGARD SUR LA NORVEGE) laquelle au départ devait partir à la poubelle... mais je trouvais ça décalé... juste pour un peu d'humour... très décalé j'avoue.
This photo is off... picture from Norway. I offset the name (NORVEGE in French)... which gives OPSWFHF... photo title... I extracted this from the next photo (4053 UN AUTRE REGARD SUR LA NORVEGE) which was originally going to the trash... but I found it out of place... just for a bit of humor... very out of place I admit.
The extractor spins one way then the other to empty the honey from the cells in the frames. The honey goes into a sump, the wax is trapped in the first compartment and then honey collects in the next one until it is pumped out. We sell our honey but are not going to be well off any day soon 😊
A male Green Thorntail Hummingbird extracts nectar. This wide ranging hummingbird is small and will frequent feeders. There are many of these shimmering green hummingbirds at Rancho Naturalista, Costa Rica.
This Australian parrot is a Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus) and it is using its bristle brush tongue to extract sweet sticky nectar and pollen from within the flowers of a 'Corymbia' Summer Red (formerly Eucalyptus).

« Cette image a été prise à Snettisham Beach, célèbre pour ses vastes vasières qui attirent un nombre impressionnant d'oiseaux migrateurs.
Le sujet du premier plan est une jetée délabrée, construite pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale pour permettre le transport par bateau du gravier extrait des carrières voisines.
Le canal incurvé dans la vasière reflète les étoiles filantes. »

“This image was taken at Snettisham Beach, famous for its vast tidal mudflats that attract migrating birds in staggering numbers.
The foreground subject is a dilapidated jetty, which was built in the Second World War to allow gravel extracted from the nearby pits to be moved by boat.
The curved channel in the mudflat mirrors the trailing stars.

I can never resist FebRovery, and wasn’t going to let my tiny rover from the Astro Warden be my only contribution! This mining vehicle brought back lots of memories of playing with Power Miners and was a ton of fun to build. I managed to utilize some interesting yellow elements I’ve had around for a while along with the unusual sand blue technic column.
The saw arm can rotate 360° and extend or retract for mining or transit mode. The windscreen also opens, and the whole roof can be removed for easier access to the cabin.
Full credit for the wheel design goes to Frost.

Have you ever tasted a Whitstable oyster? If you have, you will remember it. Some quirk of the Kentish coastline makes Whitstable natives – as they are properly called – the largest and the juiciest, the savouriest yet the subtlest, oysters in the whole of England. Whitstable oysters are, quite rightly, famous. The French, who are known for their sensitive palates, regularly cross the Channel for them; they are shipped, in barrels of ice, to the dining-tables of Hamburg and Berlin. Why, the King himself, I heard, makes special trips to Whitstable with Mrs Keppel, to eat oyster suppers in a private hotel; and as for the old Queen – she dined on a native a day (or so they say) till the day she died.

An Extract from Tipping the Velvet
extract from the personal photoproject called "quarantine | 20"
"quarantine | 20" è un progetto fotografico personale realizzato durante il periodo di isolamento da covid-19. Rigorosamente realizzato in casa e negli spazi strettamente esterni, si avvale dell'uso di materiale semplice e di facile reperimento. Idee fotografiche molto minimaliste per descrivere, raccontare, questo periodo storico decisamente anomalo così come viene visto attraverso i miei occhi.
Solitudine, isolamento, paure, necessità, desiderio di tornare alla normalità di sempre. Ma cos'è la normalità?
"quarantine | 20" is a personal photographic project created during the period of isolation from covid-19. Strictly made in the home and in strictly outdoor spaces, it makes use of simple and easy to find material. Very minimalist photographic ideas to describe, tell, this decidedly anomalous historical period as it is seen through my eyes.
Loneliness, isolation, fears, needs, desire to return to the normalcy of all time. But what is normalcy?

I was aiming for Policeman's Waterhole in the Davenport Range National Park, north of Alice Springs. The rain had stopped a day ago and the track off the highway seemed good. The plan was to overnight at Murray Downs, half way along the track to the NP. But the track got wetter and wetter until finally I couldn't go any further. After using the maxtracks for the first time to extract myself, and now being on my own, the vote was for discretion so I spent the night at this bore. The clouds and moon were scenic anyway.
Happy Macro Mondays, HMM !!
"Plastic"
Blue light backlighted plastic foam
The Great Pacific garbage patch, also described as the Pacific trash vortex.
The Ocean Cleanup is a foundation that develops technologies to extract plastic pollution from the oceans and prevent more plastic debris from entering ocean waters.
During the autumn the deer "rut" (breeding season) takes place. The Red stags and Fallow bucks compete for females.
The males roar, bark and clash antlers to fight off rivals and attract as many females as possible.
Do not touch, feed or photograph the deer at close range.
The above was extracted from the Richmond Park website.
I shot this deer before the morning mist had cleared and the deer's breath formed clouds around it.
