Looks like this Blackcap is mated up and out collecting for the nest-build early this morning. Spring seems to have only just arrived here.... was like winter two days ago,
Many thanks to those who view, fave and/or comment on some of my images.

I do not like to photograph people because I always have to seek their permission to do so. These two of my neighbors agreed but on condition that I give them those photos. It was a very fun experience. First they posed by leaving their shovels and standing side by side,serious as in church . When I shot them the way they wanted, I showed them the photos and they were pleased. Then I asked them if they allowed me to shoot their tools and they continued to work on making concrete and I was able to shoot them as they worked.
Talking to them, I learned that my neighbors thought I am a weird woman and they call me 'Rambo'. They never know what bush I am hiding behind, passing by they often see me at some strange place, roof, tree or crawling through the grass just like Rambo.
I unsuccessfully explained to them that is a best way to take a good wildlife photos.
While walking into woods, I happened to see this shining spiderweb between the trees, as if a sparkling wheel. Not sure how long the spider has been building the web, but I admired its persistence and hardwork to make this happen. Nature is powerful.

Past few days we have done this welding, 12 hours in a day.
It has been really hard for the neck, shoulders and knees, but now its done. What a relief!

Black Swallowtail -ovipositing female- (Papilio polyxenes) Allegany County, Maryland
She never stops moving and fluttering her beautiful wings when she looks for her host plant, touching many and stopping only very briefly to deposit her single egg on the right plant.
Her larvae will only survive and thrive on plants in the parsley and carrot family (Apiaceae). So include parsley, dill, or fennel in your garden and you may be rewarded with her visit and as a bonus you will witness and observe the astonishing life cycle of a butterfly from egg, to larva, to chrysalis and finally the amazing emergence of the beautiful adult.
Seaweed farming is a common activity for women in Zanzibar and other coastal areas in East Africa and it involves cultivating different types of seaweed, primarily for commercial purposes. During low tide, women wade into the shallow waters along the coastline to tend to their seaweed farms. They typically tie small pieces of seaweed to lines or nets anchored to the seabed. These lines are then suspended in the water column, allowing the seaweed to grow and flourish.
They produce excellent Garnacha grapes every year and they are used to make wines at Domaines Lupier, Navarra, Spain. We just tasted them just before harvest.... incredible. And after fermentation... more incredible :-)

Winner of the 21 vol. Contest of the "The best of Day".
While in Nepal for 5 weeks, I got to meet so many wonderful people. I'm amazed at the heavy load this woman carried, and yet she still took time to visit with me. My burdens no longer seem heavy.
This guy who I believe to be in his late 60s is a farmer from a neighboring town. When I initially saw him, he was cutting some tall wild grass on a vacant private lot near the junction of the highway and the road leading to the Subic Shipyard.
Out of my curiosity, I later asked him what he is going to do with the grass that he already cut with a long knife and which he is preparing to transport via his motorcycle taxi. He said that he will feed it to his four female cows and that he came to Subic Town because he could not find any of that kind of grass in any areas near his farm.
Taken in the aforementioned municipality of Subic, Zambales, Philippines.
Antsirabe (Madagascar) - Cette photo a été prise très tôt vendredi matin alors que je cherchais, un endroit où prendre un café, ma guest-house ne s'embarrassant pas avec ce genre de service.
J'attendais l'heure d'ouverture devant une boulangerie française qui sert un excellent expresso et de délicieux croissants, quand j'ai vu ce pousse-pousse arriver. J’ai eu le temps de faire un filé.
Tous les matins pousse-pousses et cyclopousses emmènent les enfants à l’école privée. Ceux qui sont scolarisés à l’école publique s’y rendent à pied. Question de pouvoir d’achat. Là, c'était l'un des premiers transports scolaires de la journée.
Je n'ai pas vu en prenant la photo que l'homme était pieds nus. A Madagascar, ce n'est pas rare. Côté empreinte carbone, si on ne tient pas compte des conditions de travail, ce type de transport c’est le top. Mieux que les Amishs ou les cars Macron.
School transportation
Antsirabe (Madagascar) - This photo was taken very early in the morning when I was looking for a place to have a coffee, my guesthouse not bothering with this kind of service.
I was waiting for opening time in front of a French bakery that serves excellent espresso, when I saw this rickshaw arrive. I just had time to shoot.
Every morning rickshaws and cycle rickshaws take the children to private school. Those who attend public schools go there on foot. question of purchasing power. There, it was obviously one of the first school transports of the day.
I did not see when taking the photo that the man was barefoot. In Madagascar, this is not uncommon. On the carbon borrowing side, if we do not take into account working conditions, this type of transport is the best. Better than the Amish.
A foggy day in Corea Harbor, Gouldsboro, Maine
I live in a working waterfront community with a very old time feel. Most folks look out for each other regardless of whether you have been here for generations, or are from away like myself.
7th February 2020:
I did it! Not only have I managed to change the dreadful wallpaper, but finally this morning I turned off the S mode.
Since we got our first computer many moons ago, we've always had Windows in French and usually I can navigate between the two languages to do something. But, not knowing Windows 10 couldn't do it in the two.
While on G's laptop yesterday I found a help page in French on how to get out of it, took a photo and uploaded that to my laptop. This morning with Graham reading the instructions in French I finally got out and I'm not going back in!!
Got him onto Google Chrome and installed Malwarebytes and had already got him PhotoScape X. I might get to play with that, if I'm lucky. ;-)
It's taken a week, but at least it's now all done. :O)
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Have a wonderful week!
