As the weather get cooler and the white stuff is just around the corner, I start missing the Arizona hummingbirds. This is a male Broad-billed Hummingbird.
IC 1396A is the Elephant's Trunk nebula, located in the constellation Cepheus. The Elephant's Trunk Nebula is a concentration of interstellar gas and dust within the much larger ionized gas region IC 1396, at an estimated distance of about 2,500 light years.
At the heart of the nebula lies the open star cluster Trumpler 37, where several hot, young stars (less than 100,000 years) are thought to be forming. These stars emit copious amounts of hot plasma winds and energetic particles that ionize the gas in the nebula and causing it to glow with the characteristic red light of hydrogen atoms. The winds are also sculpting the nebula creating the central cavity, but also compressing the gas in dense regions and triggering a new generation of protostars, hidden inside the dust.
At the estimated distance of the nebula, the Elephant's Trunk is about 20 light-years long.
Thanks to all for your continuous support and kind comments. I wish to all my Flickr friends a happy and relaxing summer and looking forward for your beautiful photos and stories!

The art of forward motion is falling over, but before you hit your nose on the ground, alternate feet stop you....... think about it !!
When Little Owls move long distances, they fly of course (as all birds do come to that)(ok not all birds) but when they are on short haul stuff, they walk or run ( the same again for all birds)......... but in all my years of watching birds, I have never seen any other bird do this with such style as a Little Owl :o)
OK, maybe a Puffin comes close LOL
It's coming...
something new...
something exciting...
something scary...
If you are unhappy, don't stand still on broken glass, keep walking, then the pain of loss will quickly pass.
Starting tomorrow, after many years, things will finally go in the right direction again...
like I said: Forward...
to be continued...
Lesser Yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes)
Hi There!
Many of you have asked how I'm doing since my foot surgery. I saw the surgeon yesterday, so now have a little news. First, I want to thank my Flickr friends for your support! Your kind comments, notes and prayers have helped enormously! I am still housebound, but have been given permission to try and start bending my forefoot and toes (now impossible) and when the swelling goes down enough, to start to wear my own shoes and boots again! That'll be a nice change from the brace I currently wear. I can walk carefully around my home, but it will be some time before I am out and about as usual. Most importantly, I am moving forward!
Thank you all again a thousand times over!
And thank you for stopping by to view and comment on this image! Have a wonderful day!

The snow is almost gone and the ice on the lake is thin but the weather has gone cold again so it may be a while yet before winter's last breath.
While shopping for essentials Rosa spotted a couple of potted flowers amongst the hand sanitizer and couldn't resist adopting them and bringing them home. The hydrangea are called 'Hortense' in Portugal and that was almost Rosa's name until her Godfather overruled her parents and named her Rosa. In retrospect, Rosa is very thankful to her Godfather for the 'save.' :)
I decided her 'adoptees' called for a bit of macro photography.

This shows a tiny part of a 4K TV panel (around 5 mm or 1/5 inch), so you can clearly recognize each element of the RGB subpixels. It‘s interesting to see so much color and realize that the actual image looks quite different to they eye (probably something close to a white tone).

Let's start moving forward together globally and internally. We all need one another and do so much better when we are together and pulling together as a team. We all belong to the human race, so let's start living with it, ALL of it!!!
HMM 😊😊😍
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
Philippians 3:13-14
New International Version
13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
We are back from Portugal - very jet lagged and tired but happy to be home in spite of the fact that we were in 18C temperatures in Portugal and have returned to -28C at Keefer Lake (and a lot of snow).
I am looking forward to reviewing the 900 plus photos that I took in Portugal ... hopefully there are a few 'keepers.'
