Across the street from Mr. Paru1a and Mrs. B1ackburnian we had Mr. Canada. I think David got a better image of him than I did. We didn't get too many looks at this fella. He wasn't singing much at all, so we soon left him and our hotbed of warbler activity, and drove up the off-road to the top where we would soon find....
May 11, 2018. Smoky Mountains.
I mainly took this photo because Charlie sat still for a moment and looked nice with the heather bokeh. He was watching Fynn who was dozing on a table and Charlie seemed to fancy jumping onto him (an idea he luckily gave up).
For now things between Charlie and his new brother are looking quite good IMHO although my niece isn't happy that the little one is still hissing and growling a lot. Apparently Charlie behaves exactly how he behaves with Tofu too, which means he is dominant but in a playful way. I add a capture in the comments which shows a typical situation between Charlie and Tofu. That's something Tofu can cope with and I'm sure Charlie's new brother will quickly learn that too.
It's getting to the time of year where we have deer all over the place round here. Last night I saw 20-30 run away and jump over a fence together, in one fluent movement, a bit like I remember the horses in the Grand national doing, and no fallers. I was too slow to anticipate what they were going to do so no picture to show you
Can you see him looking?

Køge, Denmark is home to some fascinating sights, including a unique display of rusty bicycles. This intriguing installation captures the essence of urban life and the beauty of decay. Each bike tells a story, showcasing the passage of time and the charm of weathered metal.
If you ever get the chance to visit, it's definitely a sight worth seeing—perfect for photography enthusiasts and those who appreciate the unusual in art.
I finally found Blue the other day and was overwhlemed with joy to see him!! May sound stange but I really do adore and love this blue jay.
Speyeria idalia -- male
By the first week of July many of the male Regal Fritillaries are quite beat up - but with no females yet flying the challenge for this one might be slipping away. He has to stay alive for a few more days. This one briefly enjoyed a rare rest at the peril of a female eclosing and a more vigorous male beating him to her.

This is a quick snapshot of Fynn sitting on the sundeck of Cleo's cat house on the porch. As the cat house doesn't have a heating, Cleo won't use it any time soon. The sundeck offers a nice view over the neighbouring gardens which Fynn often enjoys.
Fynn is doing okay although it has been quite difficult to feed him over the weekend as eating is painful for him. The vet thinks that it's because of his cat flu related gingivitis and tongue ulcers but I think that there is another problem. We have a vet appointment anyway on Monday morning and I will ask the vet to consider an x-ray to see if there is a problem with his teeth.

"Here I met the Newcomer ‘HORACIO’ on our Climbing Frame. Quite impressed how quickly he got up to the top of the frame. Not only that – he also has a bucket of Honey with him which comes from his home Honey Forest. Can’t await to try this special treat after Hibernation ……."

Black Swan, Nevada County, California on 26 January 2018. This duck seems almost demur with his crest down. He must have seen me admiring him.
I called him a few names. Bubba-Luke. Lukey Madukey. He would lay at my feet sometime with his head on my feet whi;le I fooled with a new song of mine.
We had to put this great old guy to rest the other day and the house feels so empty without him.

This is not the Norman mentioned in the previous photo description but another very cute draft cross type horse. We caught him having a marvelous roll in the snow and is shaking the extra off here. Sorry for the tight crop, but he was quite far away and there was another horse that wasn't adding to composition so I cut him out! LOL Have a great day everyone. We are expecting snow here later on I think. :)
"Through the Veil "
High up in the wilderness of the Wicklow Mountains, the first light of dawn moves along the horizon, on the first day of January, 2017.
Taken from the slopes of Tonelagee Mtn at 600m.

Update 9/1/ 17
You will notice that I havent written my usual stuff with this photo. I think its beyond that for me. You would have to go up there and seen it happening to comprehend what it does to your senses. { Er....I changed my mind...again!!! }
I took this photo at dawn from the side of Tonalgee { " Ass to the wind" } Mountain at 600m. A wild, boggy and isolated place but with its own unique beauty which draws some of us crazy people like a magnet!
I think the shape of the light flaring out from the sun behind the ridge line which was changing by the second, is something to behold. I did wonder, as I looked at it if there was a place between the light and the dark where you could stand and. what would it do to your mind.
Then I realised I was standing, up to my knees in freezing bog water and I could hear the red grouse calling out to one another in the darkness and probably saying " Whose yer man with the camera. Bejaysus wouldnt you imagine he`d get sense and go home! { They were Irish red grouses obviously! Lol! } Anyway, I ended up breaking into a fit of laughter at the thought of it so the moment was gone and I got quickly out of there.
Im very pleased with it as I think its very different but my honest friends on Flickr have ways of letting me know whether they like it like I do! Pat.
UPDATE 1/1 2017
AS it is New Year, I just wanted to remember our two good friends that we lost during 2017. Firstly my good friend, the Birdman, Steve-h from Dublin who took such amazing bird studies in St Stephens Green. A master and a true gentlemen who still inspires me and I keep all his wonderful stories with me always! Heres to you Steve!
And secondly but by no means in that order, our larger than life friend Richard Gregory. A wonderful photographer wth a zany sense of humor who took the P out of me constantly and me out of him. How many people can you actually do that with without causing offence? Very few and only those that you truly like and admire. Gone but not forgotten "and no I dont want to hear your latest Irish joke, Richard!! Oh! ok then, seeing as its yerself but Ill get you later!!! "
If you scroll down the page they are both on it here
and with all of us too!

Found him on my car antenna. Moon was out. Just had to pic him.
Little late for HMB, but, oh well! lol
Enjoy your day and night! xoxo
Seventeen degrees, and 8 inches of accumulated snow, brought this moose calf to our back yard. His mommy was close behind him, as they rooted through the snow looking for the grass that remains beneath it.
In the Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales.
That is the actual James Bond Aston Martin DB5 as first seen in Goldfinger in 1965. Probably the most iconic and famous car in the world and likely priceless too. If you google that licence registration BMT216A, it will confirm that it also appeared in Thunderball, Golden Eye, Tomorrow Never Dies, Casino Royale, Skyfall, Spectre and No Time to Die. Or you can see the registration here -

And now here it is on the Flickr page of old Magoo - who’d have thunk! A scoop or what? Here it has its latest modification to its front bumper - a guy in.a luminous orange jacket trying to take a photograph.
So how did old Magoo bumbling around with his white stick and who can’t tell a farmers truck from a pedal cycle happen to bump into it in the back of beyond on the Brecon Beacons, how did he know what it was and more importantly, is that the real James Bond behind the wheel?
So there I was on a very quiet mountain road in the middle of nowhere when I hear the throaty roar of a vehicle coming up behind me. The road isn’t wide enough for man and car so I step off to allow it through, but it pulls to a halt alongside.…
“You’re looking very official by the side of the road” Says James Bond. It puzzles me for a second and I realise he must be referring to my luminous coat. (I later realise he must have been looking for the camera crew and thought I was with them).
“Oh the jacket” I say “It’s so I can be seen by cars because I can’t see them” and I hold up my white stick. And then, listening to the sweet purr of the engine I say “That’s a beautiful sounding car you have there, what is it?
“An Aston Martin DB5” Bond says.
“Wow” says I “How old?”
“59 years” replies 007 without hesitation because if anyone would know he would, right? “It’s the James Bond car” he adds.
I wrongly presume he means ‘like the James Bond car’ not the actual car itself and so like an idiot I ask - “How long have you had it?”
“We are actually filming here for a couple of days” says James by way of explanation.
“Are you James Bond then?” I ask with a wry grin.
“Well, sort of “ he replies with a chuckle. I expect he was being covert. I’m stood there close enough to touch the car and am wondering whether or not this is Daniel Craig or the new Bond guy driving - I certainly can’t tell, the car is just a fuzzy haze to me and the driver non existent, when he politely excuses himself and drives off. I’m left wondering whether he was pulling old Magoo’s leg or whether this really was the real Bond car and then feel more than a little disappointed that I didn’t get a photo. Wouldn’t you?? Let’s face it, it’s not the sort of thing you expect is it?
I continue on my deflated way when after about half a mile I pass a group of people by the side of the road. There is absolutely never anyone here and even though I cannot see their equipment I presume it must be the film crew. I wander on thinking they must be waiting for me to walk on through so they can do the take, which means the Licence to Kill and his car must be up ahead somewhere - and sure enough, a couple hundred yards on I catch that sweet throaty purr again.
“Would you mind if I take a photograph of your car Mr Bond, so I can see it on the big screen when I get home?”
“Be my guest” says James. Realising I was probably holding things up and I would have only time for one shot I quickly took it and wandered up to his window and showed him the back of the camera and asked if it looked okay?
“Haha” Laughs the Licence 2 Kill “It’s right in the middle”. Well, that was good enough for me, a crackshot secret agent with such an eye for the ladies and who bumps off global super villains for fun should be able to judge a photo right? And after thanks, I wanders on me way, and when I was clear he must have got the ‘camera - action’ instruction because the pedal hit the metal and it leapt away towards the cameras with a glorious roar.
So was that the real James Bond, or another actor filling in for him? I have absolutely no idea, couldn’t see him at all - but I’ll go this far……it wasn’t Sean Connery or Roger Moore, I would have recognised those voices for sure…….
A big thanks to the photography gods for causing James Bond to stop and talk, because if he hadn’t I would have had no idea there was filming taking place and wouldn’t have got the shot - and a double big thanks to 007 for being sociable and letting me take the photo! If you see a tramp in a bright orange coat cluttering up the movie - that’ll be old Magoo……
Well, I had me a boy, turned him into a man
I showed him all the things that he didn't understand
And then I let him go
Now there's one in California who's been cursin' my name
'Cause I found me a better lover in the UK, hey-hey
Until I made my getaway
Ex's and the oh, oh, oh's
They haunt me like ghosts
They want me to make 'em oh, oh, oh
They won't let go, ex's and oh's

Somebody told me, this man decided to wear this blue pajama after he retired from his job. You can see him everyday wearing it while he stares at people sitting in the square in front of his appartment.

The Pertsova, or Pertsov House, is built in modernism style and depicts the aspiration to have both architecture and art combined. It was built from 1905 to 1907 after the Kazan nobleman Pyotr Pertsov was inspired by the house with a view to the Kremlin which belonged to the collector Ivan Evmeniyevich Tsvetkov. Tsvetkov promised him to have some land for Pertsov as well if he would build the house in Russian style, similar to his own, decoration of which was based on the project by the famous Russian painter Victor Vasnetsov.
Pertsov began construction and managed the whole process himself. He initiated the competition, in which actually Victor Vasnetsov won. But Pertsov liked the proposition of Sergei Malyutin, the author of the painting of the first Russian Matryoshka doll. The front side of this fairytale house resembles Russian teremok. It has a lot of mythical creatures and Old Russian motifs. It’s called the Pertsova House because Pyotr Pertsov made his wife the owner. In this house different famous artists, such as Alexander Kuprin, Robert Falk, or Vasily Rozhdestvensky, created their works. This house was even called “the Moscow Montparnasse” for it.

I almost never post 2 at the same time but I felt they needed to go together. Plus vacation is over and it's back to work.
The Yellowhammer is one of my favourite birds but they're getting harder to find in Surrey these days. So I was pleased when I heard this particular birds distinctive song along a hedgerow the other day. It was also great to be able to take a few photos of him in full song.

“Let him keep careful watch over his thoughts. Let him observe their intensity, their periods of decline and follow them as they rise and fall. Let him note well the complexity of his thoughts, their periodicity, the demons which cause them, with the order of their succession and the nature of their associations.”
-Evagrius, The Praktikos, chap. 50, in The Praktikos and Chapters on Prayer, trans. J. Bamberger (Kalamazoo, MI: Cistercian Publications, 1981), 29-30
He says, whenever you are plagued by distractions, “try to look over their shoulders, as it were, searching for something else—and that something is God, enclosed in the cloud of unknowing.”
-The Cloud of Unknowing, chap. 32, in The Cloud of Unknowing and Other Works, trans. A. C. Spearing (Harmondsworth, UK Penguin, 2001), 55.
