I don't know what kind of message the artist was sending with this fancy enamel pin, but I think it's perfect for Pride Month 2025.

Wide-angle long exposure of an inviting jungle pool. In 27-years, this pool has changed little, but it's well and truly on the map now, so it gets packed at weekends and holidays. It's holding up well, but litter is an unfortunate ongoing issue. The local authorities keep talking about an entrance fee, but once money gets involved, everything goes belly up in these here parts!

Smile on Saturday theme: Fancy Fence
I shot this one out my window to capture all the light and shadows.
By the ford on the road from Lythe to Ugthorpe, during a week away in the North York Moors.
( No sheep in this one - normal service will be resumed shortly !)

One of the more welcome sights in the early stages of spring in Minnesota is the return of Hooded Merganser ducks. They don’t travel extremely long distances compared to some ducks. Many spend the winter in the southern United States, in places with ice-free ponds, rivers, and swamps.
When the ice begins to disappear up north, they head back. In our area of Minnesota, they usually return in March and April, often among the earlier ducks to show up.
Right now, this resting female is likely in the midst of scouting for a nesting site. Hooded Mergansers are cavity nesters, which means they look for holes in trees near water. Old woodpecker holes are a favorite. Over the next few weeks, she will settle on a spot, lay a clutch of eggs, and begin incubating them.
When it comes to raising the young, the female does most of the work. The male helps early in the season but usually leaves once incubation begins. He’s got more important things to do, like work on his boat or go to Twins’ games with his friends.
Hooded Mergansers are full of little surprises that make them way more interesting than their modest size suggests.
First, their eyesight is exceptional underwater. These birds are true hunters, not dabblers. When they dive, they can actually adjust their vision to see clearly beneath the surface of the water, almost like putting on a pair of built-in goggles. This helps them manage to chase down small fish with great accuracy.
Second, that hood sitting on top of its head isn’t just for show. On males, it’s dramatic and obvious, but even females raise their crest into a spiky fan when they’re alert or agitated. It’s a form of communication, but with feathers.
One peculiar aspect is that mergansers sometimes lay eggs in each other’s nests. It’s called “egg dumping,” and a single nest can end up with 20 or more eggs from multiple females, kind of like a sleepover that lasts for weeks.

I don't know what is crazier - the young child and mother on the motor scooter without any safety gear or the colourfully dressed up truck. A typical roadside scene in India.

MERCI à tous pour vos gentils commentaires et votre curiosité. Cette photo a été prise dans le sud de la Nouvelle zélande. On trouve dans la campagne des clôtures comme celle-ci . Je ne sais s'il y a une signification. Peut-être contre le cancer du sein ????
THANK YOU all for your kind comments and your curiosity. This photo was taken in southern New Zealand. In the countryside there are fences like this one. I do not know if there is any meaning. Maybe against breast cancer ????
A long exposure shot under the Valentine Bridge. For some reason this area of the city is officially off limits to photographers but the 24 Hours in Bristol organisers got permission for us to shoot there so I took the opportunity. Better at night I suspect but I didnt really fancy the area after dark on my own and I have snapped this in the dark once before- unnoticed by security!
Immature male Scarce Chaser showing his rather flashy ornage wing veins. These dissapear when he reaches adulthood (but are present in the simililarly coloured female).
This is the gate that I spotted months ago and loved it. There was such a "golden haze" and it was about 7.45pm yesterday when I took these shots.
