I'm off to Europe in 2 days so this is my last day posting. I will try to post a little in October but I won't be back in action till November
Does this look more purple-ish or more blue-ish?
On my pc it looks purple but on my phone, blue, dark royal blue. Odd.

After a short period of frost and snow, the temperature rises and all ice-forms start to melt. Winter is gone……. or…..?
Happy weekend!

Location:
while it was still dark we had gone to a simple bird hide to be there before the flocks of Meyer's parrots and African green pigeons arrive at the clay eating site at sunrise.
While we were waiting we heard some noise behind us and after a while we knew these were warthogs ( definitely safer than some other possibilities...)
The family of warthogs came closer and had picked up our scent but they had no clue where we were.
The huge male in this image was walking in front and stopped nearby to look in our direction.
You can clearly see both set of tusks of which the very sharp small ones are used for fighting other warthogs or for defense against predators. The larger ones are used for digging etc.

I'm taking some time off Flickr. I don't know when i'll be back again.
The elegant Great Egret is a dazzling sight in many a North American wetland. Slightly smaller and more svelte than a Great Blue Heron, these are still large birds with impressive wingspans.
They hunt in classic heron fashion, standing immobile or wading through wetlands to capture fish with a deadly jab of their yellow bill.
Great Egrets were hunted nearly to extinction for their plumes in the late nineteenth century, sparking conservation movements and some of the first laws to protect birds.
Great Egrets are tall, long-legged wading birds with long, S-curved necks and long, dagger-like bills. In flight, the long neck is tucked in and the legs extend far beyond the tip of the short tail.
All feathers on Great Egrets are white. Their bills are yellowish-orange,
Great Egrets wade in shallow water (both fresh and salt) to hunt fish, frogs, and other small aquatic animals. They typically stand still and watch for unsuspecting prey to pass by. Then, with startling speed, the egrets strike with a jab of their long neck and bill.

DIANA KRALL - THIS DREAM OF YOU
This Dream of You
Bob Dylan
There's a moment when
All old things become new again
But that moment might have come and gone
All I have and all I know
Is this dream of you which keeps me living on
