Faces in Places

...That’s why I’d Love to Hang my Hat in Tennessee.
A bit of a twist of the lyrics from George Strait’s 1987 Country Hit Recording : )
Last October, the Mrs. and I enjoyed a week in the Beautiful State of Tennessee. In addition to visiting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (a Bucket List item) we had a delightful day at the gorgeous Cumberland Mountain State Park located in Crossville Tennessee.
The Byrd Creek Bridge is the centerpiece of the Cumberland Mountain State Park. The seven span bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Cumberland Homesteads Historic District. The Byrd Creek Dam is the largest masonry structure ever built by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Men of the Civilian Conservation Corps built this unsuspended bridge between 1935 and 1940, for a 30-acre impoundment of Byrd's Creek. Three thousand five hundred and fifty cubic yards of dirt and rock were excavated and the core, containing 8,000 tons of concrete, is faced with Crab Orchard stone for the 319-foot span. Seven spillways, rising 28 feet above the stream bed, carry the 18-foot wide roadway approximately, which is 16 feet above water level.
Cumberland Mountain State Park began as part of the greater Cumberland Homesteads Project, a New Deal-era initiative by the Resettlement Administration that helped relocate poverty-stricken families on the Cumberland Plateau to small farms centered on what is now the Cumberland Homestead community. The 1,720-acre park was acquired in 1938 to provide a recreational area for some 250 families selected to homestead on the Cumberland Plateau.

I ain´t gonna feel sorry for myself
Even though I got the winds of doubt on my breath
So laddie pick up your musket now
A strong man don´t need no loaded bullets somehow
Am
Thousand scattered are pieces burning in my skin
But if u call for me you know ill hear your voice
If u bleed for me
I know you made the choice
I will stand by you
every time that u may fall
I believe it´s true together we are tall enough

The third photo in my Columbian tanager series
The Flame-faced Tanager is one of the most spectacular members of the diverse and exceptionally colorful genus Tangara. Living up to its common name, the forehead begins as a deep glimmering red, shading into a brilliant yellow on the nape and sides of the head. This "flame" contrasts sharply with the jet black back. The Flame-faced Tanager is a common member in mixed species foraging flocks in the canopy of humid montane forest from the Andes of extreme southwest Venezuela south to central Peru. It forages exclusively along mossy branches and occasionally peering at the underside in search of arthropods. There are three subspecies of the Flame-faced Tanager, described based mostly on minor differences in plumage. The species is typically found from 1000-2600 m and is most numerous above 1500 m. The IUCN Red list assesses the Flame-faced Tanager as a species of Least Concern; however, the population size is declining due to habitat destruction. Thus, the Flame-faced Tanager should become the focus of future studies.
Have a Peaceful Saturday!

Another face on the wall, maybe you see it too ;-)
We were having a donut snack at the famous Kenilworth bakery in Queensland when this honeyeater flew on to the next table top and eyeing our donuts.
No, we did not feed it. It stayed just long enough for me to get a quick shot.
The Blue-faced Honeyeater is a large black, white and golden olive-green honeyeater with striking blue skin around the yellow to white eye.
The crown, face and neck are black, with a narrow white band across the back of the neck.
The upperparts and wings are a golden olive green, and the underparts are white, with a grey-black throat and upper breast.
The blue facial skin is two-toned, with the lower half a brilliant cobalt blue.
Juvenile birds are similar to the adults but the facial skin is yellow-green and the bib is a lighter grey.
This honeyeater is noisy and gregarious, and is usually seen in pairs or small flocks.
It is known as the Banana-bird in tropical areas, for its habit of feeding on banana fruit and flowers.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated...

The Black Faced Ibis is found in grassland and fields in Southern and Western South America. This bird I saw at the Florida Zoo.
Common Gum Tree Shield Bug (Poecilometis patruelis)
This one was happy to pose for a photo session today.
I saw a face in my hiking shoes, in a fabric, in a food processor and in the remote control. Too much fun!
Whilst out cycling in the New Forest last week we came face to face with this beautiful New Forest pony.
Many thanks for all the kind comments and faves on my images. They are very much appreciated.
