Downy Woodpecker, Okeeheelee Park, West Palm Beach, FL
It's been a very long time since I have seen one of these woodpeckers. And on this day I saw two as they were following each other around the tree. One was pecking away and getting the grub and then feeding it to the other. Hmm... a pesky youngster following around Mom? I don't know. I've never seen this behavior.

I just wish they would have let me get closer (or I had more glass). The shots are 100% crops almost. And I could have lowered the ISO.
It's raining too, so Pippy isn't the only one who's getting wet today!!!
It was such a beautiful sunny day yesterday!

An UN-forgettable experience !!!!!! ❤️❤️❤
I will tell you now a heartfelt S.African story of Liza’s recent experience over there, with this adorable giraffe girl, that you can see in my today’s photos!!
Well, that very warm day I was alone with Alex , my lovely Scottish guide and driver , in that huge savannah jeep of the Lion Park in Johannesburg. No other tourists participated in that hour of the day…Just Liza. The jeep was not protected in that specific area, because we were surrounded by harmless African animals, ….like giraffes!!
A certain moment, turning my head to my left, and about some 600m away, I see a lonely giraffe staring at our jeep. Alex stops the car , and says, “ Ah, she is Alice”!! Suddenly, I see …Alice starting galloping towards us…She stops some 50m away, and then calmly starts walking towards our jeep….My camera in my hands, does not stop shooting…Alice stops, and starts sniffing around the jeep, getting closer to me, while I was sitting on the left back, upper seats of the jeep!! My heart is about to explode!!! I see her ….enormous head with those adorable eyelashes approaching …..my face holding the camera! I leave the camera aside!!! ….I touch her cheeks!!! ….Start cuddling her face! She feels like a horse!!!.... She comes VERY close to my face, and leaks my face all over, and breaths all over my face!! I close my eyes cuddling her cheeks!! She makes a horse-like noise with her mouth , staring directly into my eyes, while I see her with my eyes wide open now. And….. then, ….she starts getting away from the jeep slowly!!!
I am sitting on my seat, motionless, breathless! Was this real???An African giraffe just kissed my face ??? I cuddled a lovely giraffe’s face, for, at least, 4 minutes???.....I started jumping up and down on my seat, laughing, joyfully saying “Yess! Yess!!!!” , while Alex jokingly, says, “She was just a friendly girl, Liza, not a handsome man!!” ❤️❤️❤️
Shooting from Alexandra Palace, North London
Alexandra Palace is an historic entertainment venue in Alexandra Park, North London. It is located between Muswell Hill and Wood Green, in the north of the city. It was originally opened in 1873 but was rebuilt in 1875 following a destructive fire.
In the recent years many “Reception Halls” became common in the villages of Cyprus, which cater for the typical Cypriot wedding receptions of 2-3 thousand guests. (I refer to the villages!)
These photos here show one such a hall getting prepared for a wedding dinner. Thousands of plastic chairs are stacked on the tables while workers are cleaning the floor.
We finally saw the Shepard Fairey "Imperfect Union" show on its final day at the Merry Karnowski Gallery in LA.
I shot this one a while back, but never got around to posting it. The scene that unfolded was pretty entertaining... the woman was flailing her arms around because the vendor wouldn't lower his prices, and she turned around the moment I took the picture. She was caught pretty off guard I think, hence the expression.
Pretty sure this was Tri-x 400 in D-76, I'll have to double check

DDC-Exercise
Shizandra gets exercised a lot. Stu walks her in the morning, then we take her out to the backyard, then Stu walks her in the afternoon and we exercise her in the backyard again.
My daughter and her boyfriend are heading to Lisbon during their reading week break. We taught her to fly, and she is flying solo (of sorts), traveling sans parents!
Just learning to ride under a helpful eye. Seen while walking back from the beach near dusk. The background walker was too close in the best photo of the boy so she has been moved from the second photo when the boys leg was on the ground.
Have a good weekend when you get there. We are just 6 hours off it.
"You can reach me by sailboat, climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down the slope, into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt, cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here, just get here if you can
There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way, surely you would be closer
I need you closer"
My hair is getting silly long now and i am so enjoying it especially in this colder weather. Starting to get better at styling it although it rapidly disappearing from the front that could cause a few problems in the future but I can always go for fringe pieces or toppers.
Such a cosy outfit this turned out to be have to admit ive got the jumper on tonight with a shorter black skirt and tights and his slippers! not a great look from the ankles down lol
Left to right: Dave Gibbons, Cam Wilson, LJ Mounteney, Andy Millhouse, Brent Gubbels, and Allan Dionne. The core group is "The Wahs", which consists of Cam, Andy, and Brent.
The We're Here! gang is celebrating The Beatles today. As luck would have it, I went to a concert tonight that was having a Beatles celebration of its own.
The group performed almost exclusively late-period Beatles (there were a couple of early Beatles numbers too). Their creative arrangements were just wonderful, and included folk, Celtic, blues, jazz, and classical elements. Their five-part harmonies were delightful, and Cam's long, extraordinarily intricate fiddle riffs were beyond impressive. LJ's vocals were outstanding. It's no wonder she is sometimes referred to as the "Canadian Bonnie Raitt". For me, her vocal skills tied with Cam's fiddling for best performance.
Project: Get polarized!
I often find single use plastic straws, cups, bags, caps, and water bottles washed ashore. We can all do a better job by reducing these items on a daily basis
Equipment #Nikon D500 + Tokina Atx-I 100mm f2.8 ff macro
