Tight cropped image of Panthera Leo showing his scars and his menacing eye contact that would send the shivers down any one's spine.
YWP Lion.
Yes it's a Gannet
A very young Gannet
Their plumage changes as they get older of course., and they are a very beautiful bird at all stages
Although I have to say I do like this early rendition
A close-up, eye-level portrait of a young lion with its head tilted back and mouth wide open in a playful or tired yawn. The warm, soft light of the setting sun bathes the lions´ face in a golden glow, highlighting its youthful features and capturing a rare, intimate moment of a future king in its natural African habitat.
'Love' is handwritten on the first yellow round to the left. A nice little touch to this rather intriguing start to the slide at the playground in Mana. We were the only ones there.
These very beautiful works of art, have been very popular at the Tulip Festival for the last few years!
My Mom's gorgeous blooming hibiscus shrub, located just outside her front window which she can enjoy from both inside & out.
Sie ist ein echter Eyecatcher, die 155 111 von Budamar.
Die doch recht ungewöhnliche und auffällige Lackierung hebt sich deutlich von den anderen ab.
Hier bringt die Lok den Düngermittelzug von Hamburg nach Großkorbetha. Sie fährt im Auftrag der Infraleuna.
Away from the UK we are in Norway at the moment seeing family over the Christmas/New Year holidays
These guys are also away at the moment
Many are In the UK and away from the sometimes harsh Norwegian winter
In other words our paths have crossed., they are where we would regard as home and we are where they would probably regard as home
A slight irony as we love photographing owls
But never mind., those eagles are mightily impressive!
Sombre Hummingbird is indeed drably coloured for a member of its often eyecatching family. But it fills its role nonetheless. The white spot behind the eye is a good field mark for this species which otherwise lacks many identifying features. This bird was at Casa Tukani in the small city of Guapimirim in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil.

A full-frame, eye-level portrait of a male Chacma baboon, Papio ursinus, sitting on the sandy ground, with a branch of a thorny acacia tree in the foreground. The baboon's direct gaze and the soft, natural light highlight its expressive face and the texture of its fur, capturing a moment of quiet contemplation in its natural habitat in the Okavango Delta.

This backlit dandy seedhead displays an eyecatching iridescence (also known as goniochromism).
.
Iridescence is an optical phenomenon of surfaces in which hue changes in correspondence with the angle from which a surface is viewed. [...] Conventional photography only records the specific effect of iridescence (not the phenomenon itself).
The word iridescence is derived in part from the Greek word ἶρις îris (gen. ἴριδος íridos), meaning rainbow, which in turn derives from the goddess Iris of Greek mythology, who is the personification of the rainbow and acted as a messenger of the gods. Goniochromism is derived from the Greek words gonia, which means angle, and chroma, which means color.

1821 - 1867
The deafening street around me screamed.
Long, thin, in great mourning, majestic pain,
A woman passed, with a lavish hand
Lifting, swinging the festoon and hem;
Agile and noble, with her statue leg.
I was drinking, tense as an extravagant,
In her eye, livid sky where the hurricane germinates,
The sweetness that fascinates and the pleasure that kills.
A flash of lightning... then the night! - Fugitive beauty
Whose gaze has suddenly reborn me,
Will I only see you in eternity?
Elsewhere, far from here! too late! perhaps never!
For I know not where you flee, you know not where I go,
O you whom I would have loved, O you who knew it!
La rue assourdissante autour de moi hurlait.
Longue, mince, en grand deuil, douleur majestueuse,
Une femme passa, d'une main fastueuse
Soulevant, balançant le feston et l'ourlet ;
Agile et noble, avec sa jambe de statue.
Moi, je buvais, crispé comme un extravagant,
Dans son oeil, ciel livide où germe l'ouragan,
La douceur qui fascine et le plaisir qui tue.
Un éclair... puis la nuit ! - Fugitive beauté
Dont le regard m'a fait soudainement renaître,
Ne te verrai-je plus que dans l'éternité ?
Ailleurs, bien loin d'ici ! trop tard ! jamais peut-être !
Car j'ignore où tu fuis, tu ne sais où je vais,
Ô toi que j'eusse aimée, ô toi qui le savais !
