Lone tree standing in a field at the top of a hill behind Bordlands, near West Linton, Peeblesshire, (more recently Scottish Borders) Scotland.
The northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is the only mockingbird commonly found in North America. This bird is mainly a permanent resident, but northern birds may move south during harsh weather. This species has rarely been observed in Europe. This species was first described by Linnaeus in his Systema Naturæ in 1758 as Turdus polyglottos. The northern mockingbird is renowned for its mimicking ability, as reflected by the meaning of its scientific name, 'many-tongued mimic.' The northern mockingbird has gray to brown upper feathers and a paler belly. Its wings have white patches which are visible in flight.
The northern mockingbird is an omnivore. It eats both insects and fruits. It is often found in open areas and forest edges but forages in grassy land. The northern mockingbird breeds in southeastern Canada, the United States, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Greater Antilles. It is replaced further south by its closest living relative, the tropical mockingbird. The Socorro mockingbird, an endangered species, is also closely related, contrary to previous opinion. The northern mockingbird is listed as of Least Concern according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The northern mockingbird is known for its intelligence and has also been noted in North American culture. A 2009 study showed that the bird was able to recognize individual humans, particularly noting those who had previously been intruders or threats. Also birds recognize their breeding spots and return to areas in which they had greatest success in previous years. Urban birds are more likely to demonstrate this behavior. Finally, the mockingbird has influenced United States culture in multiple ways. The bird is a State bird of 5 states, has been used in book titles, and has also been used in popular songs and lullabies among other appearances in U.S. culture.

en estos dias estoy aprendiendo sobre las individualidades, hacer lo que uno quiere sin perder la perspectiva de trabajar en conjunto.
necesitamos aprender a no opacar el brillo de los demas, y menos a una persona a quien quieres tanto y con la que estas formando un equipo...
In case anyone wants a better look at the two from that mating pair I posted recently, here they are with individual portraits- female on the left, male on the right. They favored the same perch, although I flipped the female around so they would face each other. Siskiyou County, California
Individual milkweed flowers are sometimes not really noticed because they are part of the larger round cluster of flowers, but for some reason I ran across a plant where one of the flowers seemed to be pushing the others for dominance.
As Thaipusam festival gets underway, devotees flood into the preparation site to have their bodies marked with holy ash to invoke the support of the Hindu gods. Energy is high and queues can be lengthly but in each line of people are individuals taking moments to reflect upon the elements of life that bring our communities together.
the lovely bird that popped up in a bush barely a couple of feet from Tracy Farrer and myself, as we stood waiting for the Waxwings to come down again.
Extraordinary to see an individual from what is normally such a shy species, up so close and actually stay and carry on feeding, totally unconcerned by our presence on the pavement in front.
It was so close, I was backing off as far as I could (without getting run over by passing cars), just to get all of it within frame and out to minimum focusing distance, at 420mm focal length - and most of the time I still couldn't do so.
Martin Wiese’s installation „Roman Series“ (2017-2023) consists of seven sculptures. The head of each individual stone/bronze figure can be manually turned, which creates a playful element. Seen at the 9th Swiss Triennial of Sculpture in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland (open from 4 May 2024 until 30 October 2024).
Thank you for your visits / comments / faves!

Home at sunset ll ..
She sits peacefully content in her presence of being in the comfort of home. Gazing with wonder through her window with paintbrush in hand. Time changes the gentle sky as the birds finish their final hums earths rich trees fade to nights shadows. As the rose glistens echoing its grace and elegance it's shadows so tender dancing shadows as her delicate skin echoes silk reflections in harmony with her inner music as the sky's turn to gold light transcends to leave feelings of peace and serenity where freedom resides...
A message to all woman in the world...Freedom resides deep within You!! You are precious unique individuals !! Freedom of choice and expression is your human right. Sending love and light!!
I am thinking about the earth quake tragedy and in Turkey and Syria. My heart and prayers go to victims and their families. May they rest in peace.
My heart goes out to the very brave courageous Ukrainian people, and all innocent people who are suffering through this war. l pray for peace and harmony soon to the Ukrainian people to the world. Stay strong !!❤️💙💛💙🌍🙏

This is a detailed, 121 megapixel panorama of the San Francisco holiday skyline, shot on December 28 2016. I've been working on making as sharp and as detailed as possible; you can make out exit sign lights above doors at the SFMOMA 2.4km (1.5 miles) and 555 California 3km (1.9 miles) away and individual lights on the Bay Bridge 5.5km (3.4 miles) away. Thanks very much to Florian Kainz for all of his advice to get this as good as it could be :]

The hardware used was nothing particularly special - a Canon 7D with the cheap, standard canon 70-300mm zoom lens at 260mm. I shot individual pictures at f/11, ISO 400 with a 1 second exposure (which underexposed most things about a stop). The panorama itself is shot from 46 individual images; and each one of these images consisted of locking off the camera and taking 4 photographs. In photoshop, these are exactly aligned and median filtered to reduce noise, remove motion artifacts from moving lights and recover a little dynamic range. I'd periodically switch the camera into live view to check that the focus of the lens was sharp. The process of shooting the images - the setup, calibration, checking focus and of course actual exposures - took a little under an hour.
After stitching, the image is around 50,000 pixels across. As expected, I wasn't able to completely eliminate all the things that could contribute to softness - nailing the focus, intrinsic shaking of the tripod & camera due to things like wind, and distortion due to heat haze and atmosphere. In the original panorama, there are large parts of the image that can be downsampled, resized back up and placed back in without any significant loss in quality. This 'empty resolution' means that I could wholesale resample the image to half it's size; this also had the effect of improving the signal to noise ratio a little, reducing the noise in the final image.
For the interactive panorama on Facebook (www.facebook.com/bjoshi/posts/10154212269427423), I used a modified version of Eric Cheng's fantastic PSD templates (www.facebook.com/notes/eric-cheng/editing-360-photos-inje...) to create a 6000 pixel wide, 300-degree-wide cylindrical panorama version of the image. It requires a little manual messing around with the XMP metadata to get it exactly where I wanted it (my image is not very tall); ping me in the comments below if you want more details or help figuring it out.
For those of you that have grabbed the original image from Flickr with the intent of printing or using commercially - please don't, and buy the image or hire me instead. I shoot high quality imagery at very reasonable rates. I'm easy to find, drop me a line.
Just in case this alone doesn't deter you, in the online copies of the photograph I've hidden (in plain sight) in a range of highly offensive imagery that would be extremely embarrassing and difficult to explain to a client. Have fun trying to find it all because I guarantee you can't :]
Eighth image in this autumn flowers series...
These buds are bright red, but when the individual budlets burst forth they do so in many colors, including yellow, orange, purple, and red! Tomorrow's post will show these many colors :)
The blue background here is a painted light post, giving the two buds a smooth and colorful backdrop.
It is October 4th here in Wisconsin and the nights are getting quite cold (high '40's), but these Lantana plants and flowers are still hanging in there and looking quite nice.
individual tributes
Remembrance Sunday 2020
The Fleet Air Arm Memorial at Lee-on-the-Solent is one of the lesser known Memorials in the UK. It remembers 1,925 men of the Fleet Air Arm who have no known grave, most of them having been lost at sea.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. There is so much that I can read into this shot and I love that this elderly man looks content sitting oustide of the dining crowd while watching the world go by. Enjoying the early summer sun in Glasgow. Best viewed large.
