A FAMILIAR MIGRANT VISITOR, that can be recognized in flight by its pointed wings and in the adult long tail streamers. But to photograph one is the problem as the adults rarely perch, and then it's on roadside wires, so this had to be taken on something natural !!!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISIT AND FRIENDSHIP, hope you all have a great weekend, God bless............... Tomx

Off the water and back to the woods to soak up some of the remaining color which is holding fairly well, especially given the strong winds we've had the last few days. I went out specifically to take a bunch of photos to upload into my "new friend," with the single and not unrealistic (I thought) hope of being able to find them...which I did, but not until after numerous wrong guesses as to where I thought they seemingly should be...like "Pictures."
By the way, I appreciate your support and tips re: my new desk top (not a laptop as some seem to have guessed), and it progresses slowly. I really don't use a computer for much other than my photos so I haven't even begun to tap the capabilities of this one...and am uncertain as to whether I will even try or not. What I would like to find is the 90% of my photos which did not appear with the others when I transferred them from the flash drive to the new computer. 10% are in fancy new folders...the rest unpleasantly invisible. Everything sees very hit and miss...mostly miss for now causing me to simply walk away from the computer and find other occupations. My learning curve and patience have both suffered with old age.

I had always loved seeing a photo of this tree in many of my contacts photostreams. I had never known where it was until James and I were wondering around Steptoe one night. I was so happy when I saw it even though I knew I couldn't do it justice. So here is my first attempt, and I am looking forward to photographing this tree next spring.
I recently bought this for the garden and learned they can grow into shrubs here in the tropics. Hopefully this one will thrive and make lots of flowers.

The Familiar chat (Oenanthe familiaris), is a small passerine bird of the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. It is a common resident breeder in Africa south of the Sahara in rocky and mountainous habitat and around human habitation. This cheeky little bird came to join us for morning tea and happily accepted small offerings of food.
Macro Mondays theme: Familiar
Christmas beads and bells supply the bokeh! 3 angles of light. Less than 5cm / 2in.
Thank you for your kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated. HMM
I look at this and smile, in that ever bit of fellside and top, every bit of woodland you can see I've wandered or traversed ... still I seek out perhaps the odd carbuncle perhaps where I haven't been .. but struggle :))
With all the excitement of the new spring birds arriving, it is easy to take the familiar faces for granted. I truly enjoy watching the Cardinal couple in our backyard. Although I have not put a feeder out this spring, they still come to nibble on my suet that I had left over and they bathe in the bird bath under the budding Lilac tree. They whiz through the yard with such expertise. When they fly in, they fly low and barely skim the hedge. My husband wondered if they stay low because of their bright color. It may make them less visible to predators and give them quick access to cover if they need it. I just get ready to duck out of the way when they come.
