ALTHOUGH it is rather nondescript the corn bunting does have a distinctive song. It dangles it legs when flying short distances, and just look at its nails, they are very approachable with extreme care, I love seeing them at the Ancient Highway Sandwich Kent.

Redshank - Tringa Totanus
The common redshank is a widespread breeding bird across temperate Eurasia. It is a migratory species, wintering on coasts around the Mediterranean, on the Atlantic coast of Europe from Ireland and Great Britain southwards, and in South Asia. They are uncommon vagrants outside these areas.
They are wary and noisy birds which will alert everything else with their loud piping call. Like most waders, they feed on small invertebrates. Redshanks will nest in any wetland, from damp meadows to saltmarsh, often at high densities. They lay 3–5 eggs.
The common redshank is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
It is widely distributed and quite plentiful in some regions, and thus not considered a threatened species by the IUCN.

My daddy is in hospital now, I just want to say because maybe I won't be really around these days. Hope you all understand. Thanks.
75% of getting a good shot is being there :-) I spend a lot of time scouting and looking for scenes and responding to changes in the light and landscape.
It had rained pretty heavy just hours before, and the water here is paper-thin, just enough for a reflection. No way was I going to pass this spot up.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the photo.
There is spring in the talk of the chickadees outside my window, and in the cheerful bluster of a red squirrel in the hickory :-)

well, it is time for me to say, all rights reserved ! I'm proud of and I adore this picture because the atmosphere of the lake made me feel free and very happy , which is not exactly my every day sensation !
I waited patiently for the boat to be right in the middle of the light and got a big satisfaction , I even guessed the right combination of aperture and time.

Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc ... Always very much appreciated !
I think this is a Sorbus? Rowan? Mountain Ash? Or are they all the same? I am rubbish at identifying trees!!
The oystercatcher is a large, stocky, black and white wading bird. It has a long, orange-red bill and reddish-pink legs. In flight it shows a wide, white wing-stripe, a black tail and a white rump that extends as a 'V' between the wings.
Because it eats cockles, the population is vulnerable if cockle beds are overexploited.
They breed on almost all UK coasts. During the last 50 years, more birds have started breeding inland. Most UK birds spend the winter on the coast where they are joined on the east coast by birds from Norway.
In the UK, Isle of Man, and Ireland, the Oystercatcher is resident in most coastal areas. It has an "Amber" status because it is considered Vulnerable in Europe and Near Threatened globally.
"Time is free but priceless
You can't own it but you can use it
You can't keep it but you can spend it
Once you have lost it you can never get it back..."

Erdkröte (bufo bufo)
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdkr%C3%B6te#:~:text=Die%20Erdkr%C...(Bufo%20bufo)%20ist,Familie%20der%20Kr%C3%B6ten%20(Bufonidae).
Die Erdkröte (Bufo bufo) ist ein häufiger und im paläarktischen Raum weit verbreiteter Froschlurch aus der Gattung der Echten Kröten innerhalb der Familie der Kröten (Bufonidae). Nach heutiger Auffassung handelt es sich wahrscheinlich nicht um eine einheitliche biologische Art, sondern um einen Komplex mehrerer Taxa, deren genaue systematische Stellung und Abgrenzung derzeit unklar ist.[1]
Die Erdkröte wurde von der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Herpetologie und Terrarienkunde zum Lurch des Jahres 2012 gekürt.
Common toad (bufo bufo), European toad, toad
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_toad
The common toad, European toad, or in Anglophone parts of Europe, simply the toad (Bufo bufo, from Latin bufo "toad"), is a frog found throughout most of Europe (with the exception of Ireland, Iceland, and some Mediterranean islands), in the western part of North Asia, and in a small portion of Northwest Africa. It is one of a group of closely related animals that are descended from a common ancestral line of toads and which form a species complex. The toad is an inconspicuous animal as it usually lies hidden during the day. It becomes active at dusk and spends the night hunting for the invertebrates on which it feeds. It moves with a slow, ungainly walk or short jumps, and has greyish-brown skin covered with wart-like lumps.
Midyat is a town in Mardin province of southeastern Turkey. The history of Midyat can be traced back to the Hurrians during the 3rd millennium BC. The town is a melting point of religions and languages.

Everything is the same
Everything is broken
Everything still works
Everything stands still
Everything goes through everything
There's nothing I know for sure anymore
Blue was the sky under wich I slept
Green was the grass I walked on
There could be clouds full of worries
In the end they floated by
I'm looking for the common thread
Something that makes it all logical
I want to see, the way I saw, when I still had you
Because now, everything is gray
'Cause I can see the sun
But I don't feel the heat
The world is still spinning for me
But she's lost her colors

Kuznetsky Most is one of the most beautiful pedestrian streets in the historical center of Moscow.
The street got its modern - and at the same time historical - name thanks to the Kuznetsky Bridge across the Neglinnaya River. Today, Kuznetsky Most Street attracts citizens with its high-quality landscaping, an abundance of architectural monuments and an unusual relief: due to the significant difference in heights between Petrovka and Rozhdestvenka, the city landscape looks especially picturesque.
Kuznetskaya Sloboda on the high bank of the Neglinnaya River - Neglinnaya Upper - appeared in the 12th century, but its heyday came only at the end of the 15th, when the Cannon Yard was built in the vicinity, and the Moscow prince Ivan III ordered to settle in it blacksmiths and grooms who served new production. At the turn of the 15th-16th centuries, Novgorod and Pskov were annexed to the Moscow principality, and craftsmen of various professions from these cities were moved to the Neglinny Upper.
In 1737, the street burned out during the Trinity fire, but rather quickly new buildings were built on it, in which foreign shops began to be located. Gradually, the street turned into the abode of foreign trade: the French showed particular zeal, opening fashion and haberdashery shops here, thanks to which Kuznetsky Most became the main shopping street in Moscow. During World War II and the fire of 1812, it practically did not suffer from the fire, since the French guard took over the protection of the business of compatriots. After the war, trade flourished again, and many fashionable shops were opened on it (almost all of them were foreign, most of them were French). The abundance of foreign shops made Kuznetsky Most the most fashionable and aristocratic street in Moscow, which it remained until the 1917 Revolution.
During the Soviet era, the street lost part of the historical buildings, many buildings were rebuilt, and the street gradually took on a modern look.
After the reconstruction carried out in 2012, the Kuznetsky Most section from Bolshaya Dmitrovka to Rozhdestvenka became pedestrian.
Today Kuznetsky Most Street is a well-maintained pedestrian zone, where city holidays and festivals are often held.
Despite the losses of the Soviet years, a large number of architectural monuments have been preserved on it: tenement houses, partially preserved city estates and passages. Among them are famous Moscow sights: the building of the Moscow International Trade Bank, Khomyakov's trading house and others.

"Nature" is what we see—
The Hill—the Afternoon—
Squirrel—Eclipse—the Bumble bee—
Nay—Nature is Heaven—
Nature is what we hear—
The Bobolink—the Sea—
Thunder—the Cricket—
Nay—Nature is Harmony—
Nature is what we know—
Yet have no art to say—
So impotent Our Wisdom is
To her Simplicity.

In my heart is a Christmas tree farm
Where the people would come
To dance under sparkling lights
Bundled up in their mittens and coats
And the cider would flow
And I just wanna be there tonight

The icy view from on top of Modjeska Peak - 5,499 ft (1,676 m) . Santiago Peak, which is slightly higher is in the background and covered with an antenna farm. From Modjeska peak, you get nice views of the three highest mountains in Southern California - San Gorgonio Mountain, San Jacinto Peak and Mount San Antonio. You can also see much of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, the Pacific ocean, and the islands of San Clemente and Santa Catalina. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modjeska_Peak
