King Tides, the term is non-scientific and refers to when the moon, sun and Earth align at their closest points and the gravitational pull on the Earth is the greatest. This happens for three day periods during the months of November, December, and January. We finally had a break in the weather and went in January to shoot these big waves at high tide. This is at Shore Acres down by Coos Bay.

Opening. I will post another shot when it is fully open. It is a very large flower - perfect for drying when it 'Dies'. :)
Done for Crazy Tuesday.
A little bit of wildlife. A king vulture or Sarcoramphus.
Have a beautiful day, everyone!

"All the wants you waste
All the things you’ve chased
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there’s no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle’s crumbled
And you’re left with just a name
Where’s your crown, King Nothing?
Where’s your crown?
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight
I want that star, I want it now
I want it all and I don’t care how
Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish, you may regret it"

Thank you for your likes and comments very much appreciated
I spotted this Wood Stork standing in the very top of a large cypress tree while driving through the backroads of the Everglades. They say they are a barometer of the health of the Everglades. They also like to stand tall looking down on the rest.
Using just the lights outside in the yard and what lights were on inside. A Timeline events photo charter.

Don't forget...no matter your status, wealth, or power during your lifetime, everyone ultimately shares the same fate.
So, do we call a female King Parrot a Queen? I think we should. This beauty was lurking in the depths of my old computer which I managed to wake this morning from what has been a year long sleep. Had all sorts of dramas with it, but it seemed to wake up fine and I was able to salvage a thousand or so old images from it.
Taken near Apollo Bay in Victoria where they regularly visited the local houses and gardens. So wonderful to get close!
Day and night versions of Dubrovnik, the night version had to be lower because the Lovrijenac fort where I took the day photo was already closed, and I was standing at the top of the steps in front of the gate to the paid area. It was super windy in both cases. I wonder who will die in tonight's GOT episode.

Thank you very much for your kind comments, favorites and looking and please stay safe !
Beside the fact that humans release lots of bred mallards in nature every year this duck have several own adaptations that make them so succesful. One of these adaptation is there way of flying off from water when danger lures. Mallards are one of few aquatic birds that can take off without any "starting distance". In a split second they birst directly from the water to the air! This take off reminds of a launched missile!
I slightly missed focus on this shot but I like it anyway
The snow is falling and the sun sets at 4:30pm - so it seems fitting, at least for today to post a dark image. I had a good time with this crow, we sort of had a moment together. I love this pose, even with the head out of focus. The feathers look like a work of art - perhaps this is why I am so fascinated with birds:)
Have a lovely weekend! And I'm incredibly grateful for your visit:)
