The carnage continues as the Mara crocodiles feast on yet another unlucky Zebra that was caught while crossing the river.
A cedar waxwing eats berries dried over the winter. I have no idea what kind of berries they are - but a couple days later the bushes were picked clean.
Paper wasp + apricot tree + caterpillar = no more caterpillar.
The poor caterpillar was still alive at this point. I annoyed the wasp enough that he flew away with his meal.
a boodle feast is the philippine version of a popular southeast asian preparation of a dine in feast. the viands are arranged in between a long line of rice where the guests, eating together, can partake of the meal. traditionally guests will be eating standing up. it is a fun and enjoyable way of enjoying a meal with friends and family occasionally
i guess they deserve some privacy. no flash photography please. LOL!

Let me share more about Hunza. Apart from all those high mountain peaks, arid zones, high altitude lakes, and large glaciers, with sense of tranquility and peace, there is much more to cherish by the hospitable people of the Northern Frontiers of Pakistan. One of it is, the rich cuisine that the area offers in a perfect harmony with the natural world with views of wide stretches of their irrigated land with so such growth of fruits it makes the tree bow itself to the ground.
Those who divert from the norm and try to enjoy the real Hunza Experience should look for local food rather than eating the same which is widely available. And those who have searched for it must know a special cook Lutfi Ali of the Hidden Paradise Restaurant in Karimabad. Along with the family serving apricot pan cakes in Pasu.
Either its Chhap Shuro: Whole wheat chapatti wrapped around meat, vegetables and spices cooked in the fire. Often referred to as a Hunza Pizza. or it is Haneetza Berikutz: A mix of crushed apricot kernels with onions, mint and coriander, filled between two chapattis then cooked. You would not forget the rich, mild and energetic taste of these dishes for a long time.
Start your meal with a A slightly sour soup made from the local dried cheese, believed to be a stimulant, called Qurutze Dawdo. I am sure you will sense the real Hunza experience running through your blood for a while. Enjoy your feast with the view.
Taken: Hidden Paradise Restaurant, Karimabad, Central Hunza, Gilgit Baltistan, Northern Areas of Pakistan.

On this beautiful day, with my friend and cameras in hand we took a walk at the park with our brunch and coffee/tea. We decided to sit at a bench to enjoy our food in a quite area. For some reason we looked up. OMG!! this beast was having its own feast!!! We forgot all about our own food on the bench and for couple hours all we did was snap, snap and click, click. I was just praying my shots will come out decent. I did not have time to check to find out .
This Red-Tail Hawk had caught himself a pigeon!! We said a prayer to the poor soul!! I wish I had taken out my point and shoot to have a small movie footage of how s/he was ripping the little pigeon and pulling out the feathers!! It was a sight to see.
More interesting photos from this beast's feast later.
Better seen large!!
the feast of the black nazarene was also a feast for vendors and buyers as well as the prices were dirt cheap if you haggle smart

Flickr Friend Paul and I spent an enjoyable Saturday recently at Wellington Airport, but not all the birds that we captured carried passengers or had engines on their wings...!
During a lull in the in-coming Flights, we noticed a small flock of Sparrows in a nearby shrub; neither of us knew what the shrub was, but those birds were certainly feasting...!
Often, hastily-grabbed photos don't come off, but sometimes - just sometimes - the Light and the F-Stop, the Shutter Speed and the hands holding the camera all combine as they should to produce an acceptable Image...!
I was just about to delete this photo when I had a second look, and - well - here it is...!
However, the shutter button had no sooner clicked when one of the birds sounded the alarm, and that was it: they'd gone... which didn't matter too much because with another aircraft rapidly approaching, it was time to look skywards again...!
Thanks for visiting my Site Folks, and thanks especially for taking the time and trouble to leave a Comment; it's always nice to hear from you...!

This part of the creek is full of Duckweed**, but this pair of Mallard Hens (Yes common ol' Mallards!) didn't seem worried. In fact, the bird on the left spent most of the 10 or 15 minutes I was observing them with her head under the water, feasting...!
** A little further down-stream, the stream is far more pristine...!
PLEASE NOTE
If you're posting more than one photo (which of course is your right!), please don't be disappointed if I don't leave a Comment beneath each photo...!
THANKS
And thanks so much for the very kind and encouraging comments beneath this photo...! Your support is always greatly appreciated...!
For us Maltese, the feasts are an essential part in our lives. What we say, a feast without all the ingredients is not a feast. The decoration plays an important part in the feast. Shading of quality attracts the visitors.
The praying mantis reminds me of some "alien" representations in the movies. Triangular head & powerful fast predator. The behavior to give nightmares comes from the adult female, who sometimes eats her mate just after or during mating. This behavior seems to not deter reproductive behaviour from the male!
I've always thought of them as a useful insect, as they do not eat the plants of farmers & gardeners. They are carnivore, eating other insects.

EDIT: Although I didn't get excellent macro photos of the ladybird, I'm sure it had only the two spots, so most likely Adalia bipunctata but sorry I'm not certain... seeking advice from experts & can provide some extra shots upon request?
You would have thought this was some type of canoe. But in fact it is a feast bowl. Get a few gallons of tattie and leek soup in there. Feasting played an important role in traditional Cook Islands’ culture, with food being a measure of prosperity. Offerings were made to the gods to ensure success in daily activities such as fishing or the planting of crops. Neglect of ritual duties could cause imbalance in the natural world, whereas abundance indicated that all was well. At feasts, the blessings of the gods were both being sought and being praised. The more lavish the feast, the more honoured the gods.
In 1871, Parua, the high chief of Atiu, gifted this bowl to a chieftainess of the neighbouring Society Islands and it was transported there by canoe across a distance of over 500 miles.The bowl was inherited by the Tahitian princess, Titaua, whose second husband was a Scottish businessman, George Darsie. Together they ran a plantation trade and labour business. In 1892, they retired to Darsie’s hometown of Anstruther, taking the feast bowl with them. In 1895 Darsie sold a number of objects to the Museum, including the bowl, as well as Polynesian jewellery, tools and a chief’s headdress.

A 'regular' in the Houghton Feast Parade is the reincarnation of early 19th century entertainer and showman, Billy Purvis.
Billy was born in Scotland in 1784 and looked set to become a carpenter. However, his career would take off in a different direction after his family moved to Newcastle. Billy toured across the North of England and southern Scotland and eventually died in Hartlepool where his grave can still be seen in the cemetery of St Hilda's Church on the town's headland.
