The Shivering Sands Maunsell forts looking like invading aliens.
The Maunsell Forts are armed towers built in the Thames and Mersey estuaries during the Second World War to help defend the United Kingdom.
There are two pairs of Canada Geese nesting on small islands on our lake here on Bluebird Estates. On the far right you can see the nesting female while the soon-to-be Dad (with his one leg stance) on guard on the far left.
Birds' legs have an adaptation called "rete mirabile" that minimizes heat loss. The arteries that transport warm blood into the legs lie in contact with the veins that return colder blood to the bird's heart. ... And by standing on one leg, a bird reduces by half the amount of heat lost through unfeathered limbs. Bird Note
Will post photos of the recently hatched cute goslings:-))
Just like the mountains, he watches over me. And the best part not another soul around. He placed himself in all my pics... It is definitely all about Rooster. I think he has me trained because we hike everyday rain or shine or he starts to whine incessantly. lol

Santa Ifigenia Cemetery (Spanish: Cementerio Santa Ifigenia) is a cemetery in Santiago de Cuba and resting place of a few notable Cubans inluding Fidel Castro.
The cemetery opened in 1868 to replace smaller Cemetery of Santa Ana.[1]
The signature resting place is that of José Martí, whose mausoleum is guarded by three Cuban soldiers at the entrance. A round-the-clock guard of the mausoleum is changed, amid much pomp and ceremony, every 30 minutes.

The life guard towers designed by the architect Arne Jacobsen, standing tall against a breathtaking backdrop. These sleek and minimalist structures, with their clean lines and distinctive shape, harmoniously blend with the surrounding natural beauty.
This crow was being very vocal on the gate. It gave me a good laugh when I saw the sign. That crow was making sure that no one disobeyed that sign.
If you ever see a guy wearing a suit and a camera backpack hiking through the woods, it's probably me (who else does that?).
I always have my camera with me when I'm traveling for work. And when I see something interesting near the road and have some time, I spontaneously go on a little exploration tour.
So today I came to this cool forest, which is not far from the motorway near Ludwigsfelde. Shortly before a parking lot I saw a few of these “forest creatures” out of the corner of my eye. So I parked my car there and walked back. Luckily, all motorway parking lots have a rear exit that is always open. I've taken advantage of this several times.
On my way back I had to go through this group of mossy guards. who stand here and take a closer look at everyone who wants to pass by. Luckily they did let me through. I was immediately completely fascinated by this sight.
I first made a much brighter version of this scene and then decided on this one. On the one hand, I think it can convey the mystical atmosphere better and, on the other hand, because the mossy branches are shown off better here.
I also took a few close-up photos, so you'll be able to get a closer look for yourself shortly.
Wenn Ihr einmal einen Typen mit Anzug und Kamerarucksack durch den Wald wandern seht, dann bin ich das wahrscheinlich (Wer macht sonst sowas ?).
Ich habe immer meine Kamera dabei, wenn ich dienstlich unterwegs bin. Und wenn ich dann in der Nähe der Strasse etwas Interessantes sehe, und etwas Zeit habe, dann gehe ich spontan auf eine kleine Erkundungstour.
So bin ich heute zu diesem coolen Wald gekommen, der sich unweit der Autobahn Nähe Ludwigsfelde befindet. Kurz vor einem Parkplatz habe ich ein paar dieser "Waldgestalten" im Augenwinkel gesehen. Also habe ich mein Auto dort abgestellt und bin zurück gelaufen. Zum Glück haben alle Autobahn Parkplätze einen Hinterausgang, der immer geöffnet ist. Das habe ich schon mehrmals ausgenutzt.
Auf meinem Weg zurück musste ich durch diese Gruppe bemooster Wächter. die hier Spalier stehen und sich jeden genauer ansehen, der vorbei will. Zum Glück haben Sie mich durchgelassen. Bei diesem Anblick war ich sofort vollkommen fasziniert.
Ich hatte als erstes eine deutlich hellere Version von dieser Szene gemacht und mich dann doch für diese hier entschieden. Zum einen finde ich, dass sie die mystische Stimmung besser vermitteln kann und zum anderen, weil hier die bemoosten Ästen besser zur Geltung kommen.
Ich habe auch noch ein paar Nahaufnahmen gemacht, da könnt Ihr Euch in Kürze selbst ein genaueres Bild machen.

Proverbs 4:23
Above everything else, guard your heart;
for it is the source of life’s consequences.
No poetic attempt today just one good verse that comes to mind when I see this picture.
Looks like a sword and heart to me.

Black-tailed prairie dogs
Badlands National Park
South Dakota
The black-tailed prairie dog is one of the Badlands’ most entertaining residents. These social little creatures live in large colonies called “towns,” chattering and popping in and out of their burrows across the prairie.
