White-Headed Buffalo Weaver, Dinemellia dinemelli, native to the dry brush and savanna of eastern Africa. San Diego Zoo's Africa Rocks aviary. Conservation status: least concern

This little one is doing some reno on the old homestead which just happens to be my garden.

Just about every small town in the Midwest has one or more of these…an empty lot caused by the removal of one of the old buildings in a commercial row. Looking a bit like a missing tooth, what can you do with it? The days of commercial prosperity have flown the coop and about all you have now that is viable is a Casey’s gas station and a Dollar Store. These old commercial rows present a challenging situation for a bold entrepreneur who can think outside the box. Maybe we should just order dentures.

  

Please me.

Show me how it's done.

 

Port Hercules (French: Port Hercule) is the only deep-water port in Monaco. The port has been in use since ancient times. The modern port was completed in 1926, and underwent substantial improvements in the 1970s. It covers almost 40 acres (160,000 m2), enough to provide anchorage for up to 700 vessels. The port is located in the La Condamine district. Harbour pilots are required for all vessels longer than 30 metres. The depth of water in the harbour ranges from seven metres for standard berths and up to 40 metres for the outer piers and cruise ship docks.

Cill Chriosd Manse House, Nr Broardford, Isle of Skye

 

I'll give you a break from Valencia for a while!

 

Back to March and my trip up to Skye. I met up with Skyeweasel and although the weather/tides meant Elgol was pretty pointless she was kind enough to show me a few locations I'd not shot before on the Broadford to Elgol road.

 

I'd seen this old manse house on a map and aerial photo and had it in mind to try to find but Louise took me straight there and we must have spent 90mins at least trying different povs and portrait v Landscape orientations. The snow on the mountains added a different feel. Several areas of rock existed to create leading lines and this was one of them.

 

Have to say I really enjoyed this location so once again my sincere thanks to Louise for her help and guidance on the day. Check out her channel if you haven't already www.flickr.com/photos/95388056@N02

Some time before I shot the previous photo, the Black-shouldered Kite male was carrying this twig and landed in the tree where the nest should be. I suppose this was just some small addition to the already completed construction because I had observed the nest building process at lest a month ago. I wonder about the strength of his beak holding the twig so precisely at its very tip during the fast flight.

What do you all think?

 

Do you guys want another review?

This Red-necked Grebe pair is working side by side to improve the nest with floating materials gathered nearby. Here they are moving the materials with their beaks to where they like them.

This house looked so sad for a very long time. The area at the front was overgrown and full to bursting with three cornered leeks.

 

It took the new owners a bit of time, but it's now looking lovely. You can just see the Welcome sign I took a photo of on the left hand wall - www.flickr.com/photos/44506883@N04/50176710771/in/album-7...

 

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

'twas great fun watching a pair shore up their nest in anticipation of little ones this morning.

Some of my old 1/72 were pretty rushed and all getting a good revisit. Much improved Mig-29 and now working on some camo versions.

a few golden oldies processed with up to date de-noise software and L/R P/S some improvements over the years but not a great deal // exif data will give camera /lenses choices

66747 Made in Sheffield crawls up to the unloading point at Tinsley yard. To the left is the main part of the old yard and where the old yard signal box was. This area now appears to be being extended.

 

An update on the text and this area was actually being strengthened for use as a mud / waste unloading pad allowing HS2 excavation materials to be unloaded from trains from Acton to transfer to lorries and deposition in the Thurcroft area.

a wetlands muskrat selected some new greenery from the opposite side of the pond to add to his shoreside home

Thank you for stopping by to look at my images. Any comments and faves are always appreciated. Have a great day!

I last stopped to photograph this small ruined building near Elphin back in 2014 ('Des Res'). It sits atop a small 'hill' with stunning views to Cul More and Suilven at left and right. The skies on this visit were particularly 'angry', rendering the mountains as almost black. I was pleased to see that perhaps this is not quite as abandoned as I thought; there was some additional, unexpected garden furniture added since my last visit.

A CSX West Olive coal train turns the corner toward Grand Rapids in Plymouth, Michigan with a much improved yellow nose scheme. I hated the all grey and blue/grey schemes, this was an improvement but far from what could have been considering all the classy schemes that disappeared into Family Lines and CSX. April 1990

I know I have used this subject already, but this was just too much of an improvement from my point of view, not to be used for today's picture.
