Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I don't know what this Red-necked Grebe is transporting, it almost looks like a dirty net of some kind, but it ends up part of the grebe's nest. Makes sense!
Thought I'd give the ole 2X tele a try with the 600 and the new R5. I was curious to see how that combination works together and I think it looks great! What do you think?
Taken 14 June 2021 in Anchorage, Alaska.
Here's a Red-shouldered Hawk on its way to the nest with some additional nesting material. I believe that the Florida Red-shouldered breed earlier than the species in other parts of the country. Once site had them breeding from January to May when general reference books state the species breed from May to July. In any event, I'm hoping that they are not just faking us out and that we have some new chicks to celebrate. In the course of my reading I learned that the females are larger than the males (probably smarter too) and that the pair are monogamous. Having said that, I've never been able to see the size difference but will pay more attention in the future. Happy 2023 everyone. (Buteo lineatus)
What can be the reason behind flower favourites? (They fit your photographic style? Childhood memories? Fragrance? Perfect material in which to project your self?) These remain a favourite for me, Spring or Fall.
Some boys kiss me
Some boys hug me
I think they're ok
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away

Unterordnung Großlibellen (Anisoptera)
Überfamilie Libelluloidea
Familie Segellibellen (Libellulidae)
Unterfamilie: Sympetrinae
Gattung Crocothemis
Art Feuerlibelle
Wissenschaftlicher Name Crocothemis erythraea (Brullé, 1832)
Feuerlibelle
Die Feuerlibelle (Crocothemis erythraea) ist eine ursprünglich vor allem afrikanisch und mediterran verbreitete Libellenart aus der Familie der Segellibellen (Libellulidae), die zu den Großlibellen (Anisoptera) gehören. 2011 wurde sie in Deutschland zur Libelle des Jahres gekürt.
Merkmale
Die reifen Männchen der Feuerlibelle sind signalrot, wobei die Intensität der Rotfärbung offenbar mit der Umgebungstemperatur zusammenhängt. So wirken mitteleuropäische Tiere manchmal bräunlich-rot, anders als in den Mittelmeerländern. Die Weibchen sind ockerfarben bis hellbraun; sie weisen außerdem einen auffälligen hellen Dorsalstrich zwischen den Flügelansätzen auf. Feuerlibellen werden in der Regel zwischen 40 und 45 Millimetern lang. Sie erreichen Flügelspannweiten von 65 bis 70 Millimetern. Bei beiden Geschlechtern befindet sich auf der Basis der Hinterflügel ein deutlicher gelb-oranger Fleck, auf der Basis der Vorderflügel ein kleinerer. Das Pterostigma (Flügelmal) ist gelblich bis braun.
Man kann Feuerlibellen aufgrund der Färbung mit roten Heidelibellen-Arten (Sympetrum spp.) verwechseln, insbesondere mit der Blutroten Heidelibelle. Allerdings unterscheiden sie sich von diesen durch ihren flacheren Hinterleib und ihren relativ großen Körper. Außerdem sind bei den Männchen selbst die Beine rot. Die noch nicht ausgefärbten Imagines und die Weibchen sehen manchen Blaupfeil-Arten (Orthetrum spp.) ähnlich. Im Unterschied zu diesen weisen die Feuerlibellen-Weibchen aber einen ungefähr senkrecht abstehenden Legebohrer auf. Ebenso sieht auch der Gefleckte Sonnenzeiger (Trithemis kirbyi) der Feuerlibelle ähnlich, bei diesem sind allerdings auch die Flügeladern rot gefärbt.
Lebensweise:
Die Art lebt hauptsächlich an stehenden Gewässern, in denen auch die Larvenentwicklung stattfindet. In Mitteleuropa sind dies vor allem Stillgewässer mit einer üppigen Ausstattung an submerser Vegetation, wie z. B. Tausendblatt (Myriophyllum spp.), etwa Altwasser und Sandgrubenweiher. Im wärmeren Mittelmeerraum entwickeln sich die Larven jedoch in fast jedem Stillgewässer bis hin zu kurzlebigen Kleintümpeln.
Die Männchen sitzen gerne am Boden oder in der bodennahen Vegetation. Wie alle Libellen lebt auch diese Art räuberisch und jagt insbesondere kleine Insekten.
Die Paarung wird in wenigen Sekunden im Flug vollzogen. Die Weibchen tauchen die Eier gleich anschließend im Flug mit der Spitze des Hinterleibes ins Wasser, wobei die Eier gerne an flutenden Wasserpflanzen oder Algenwatten abgestreift werden. Dies geschieht oft fern vom Ufer. Die Männchen bewachen die Weibchen dabei nicht.
Verbreitung:
Feuerlibellen sind ursprünglich in den warmen Regionen Südeuropas, Afrikas und Vorderasiens verbreitet. In den 1990er-Jahren hat die Art sich auch nach Süddeutschland ausgebreitet, wo sie mittlerweile nicht selten ist. Die Feuerlibelle erweitert ihr Areal in Mitteleuropa derzeit kontinuierlich weiter und dürfte mittlerweile in fast ganz Deutschland zu finden sein. Die Flugzeit reicht hier von Ende Juni bis Mitte/Ende August, in Südeuropa bei mindestens zwei Generationen vom Mai bis in den Oktober hinein.
Die Feuerlibelle galt vor ihrer in jüngster Zeit zunehmenden Bodenständigkeit in Mitteleuropa als ausgesprochene Wanderlibelle, die in warmen Sommern zahlreich aus dem Mittelmeerraum nach Zentraleuropa einflog. Die Ausdehnung ihres Areals nach Norden wird mit dem Klimawandel in Verbindung gebracht.

This nuthatch flew to a tree right next to me and began pulling at this fine material for nest building. Completely ignoring me, allowing me to compensate for the strong back light.

Nefekalum's fab new materials tattoo, Medusa's Gaze, reminded me a lot of the Japanese art of Kintsuku - especially with the gold in the gaps of the cracks. I added cinphul's carnal headpiece [I turned it upside down for a different look] and completed the entire outfit with various pieces for that otherworldly Mage look. Yes, the diet is going well...

Das Eden Project entstand nach einer Idee des englischen Archäologen und Gartenliebhabers Tim Smit in einer stillgelegten Kaolingrube nahe St Austell. Von der Idee im Jahr 1995 bis zur Eröffnung der Anlage am 17. März 2001 dauerte es sechs Jahre. Charakterisiert wird der Garten durch die zwei riesigen Gewächshäuser, die aus jeweils vier miteinander verschnittenen geodätischen Kuppeln in der Bauweise von Richard Buckminster Fuller bestehen. Hier werden verschiedene Vegetationszonen simuliert. Die Gewächshäuser des Eden Projects sind derzeit die größten der Welt.
Die Entwürfe für die geodätischen Kuppeln stammen vom britischen Architekturbüro Nicholas Grimshaw, die Tragwerksplanung von Anthony Hunt, ihre Ausführung erfolgte durch die Würzburger Firma Mero. Gedeckt sind die mehrfach miteinander verschnittenen Kuppeln mit doppelwandigen Kissen aus ETFE, einem besonders leichten, transparenten Kunststoff. Die Folienkissen wurden in eine Konstruktion aus standardisierten, sechs- und fünfeckigen Stahlrohrrahmenelementen (Raumfachwerk) eingepasst. Die Raumfachwerkkonstruktionen überdecken stützenfrei eine Fläche von insgesamt 23.000 m² (Oberfläche etwa 30.000 m²) und haben eine Höhe von bis zu 50 m bei einem Durchmesser von bis zu 125 m.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
The project was conceived by Tim Smit and designed by architect Nicholas Grimshaw and engineering firm Anthony Hunt and Associates (now part of Sinclair Knight Merz). Davis Langdon carried out the project management, Sir Robert McAlpine and Alfred McAlpine[4] did the construction, MERO designed and built the biomes, and Arup was the services engineer, economic consultant, environmental engineer and transportation engineer. Land use consultants led the masterplan and landscape design. The project took 2½ years to construct and opened to the public on 17 March 2001.
The Tropical Biome, covers 1.56 ha (3.9 acres) and measures 55 m (180 ft) high, 100 m (328 ft) wide, and 200 m (656 ft) long. It is used for tropical plants, such as fruiting banana plants, coffee, rubber and giant bamboo, and is kept at a tropical temperature and moisture level.
The Tropical Biome
The Mediterranean Biome covers 0.654 ha (1.6 acres) and measures 35 m (115 ft) high, 65 m (213 ft) wide, and 135 m (443 ft) long. It houses familiar warm temperate and arid plants such as olives and grape vines and various sculptures.
The Outdoor Gardens represent the temperate regions of the world with plants such as tea, lavender, hops, hemp and sunflowers, as well as local plant species.
The covered biomes are constructed from a tubular steel (hex-tri-hex) with mostly hexagonal external cladding panels made from the thermoplastic ETFE. Glass was avoided due to its weight and potential dangers. The cladding panels themselves are created from several layers of thin UV-transparent ETFE film, which are sealed around their perimeter and inflated to create a large cushion. The resulting cushion acts as a thermal blanket to the structure. The ETFE material is resistant to most stains, which simply wash off in the rain. If required, cleaning can be performed by abseilers. Although the ETFE is susceptible to punctures, these can be easily fixed with ETFE tape. The structure is completely self-supporting, with no internal supports, and takes the form of a geodesic structure. The panels vary in size up to 9 m (29.5 ft) across, with the largest at the top of the structure.
The ETFE technology was supplied and installed by the firm Vector Foiltec, which is also responsible for ongoing maintenance of the cladding. The steel spaceframe and cladding package (with Vector Foiltec as ETFE subcontractor) was designed, supplied and installed by MERO (UK) PLC, who also jointly developed the overall scheme geometry with the architect, Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners.
The entire build project was managed by McAlpine Joint Venture.

During the breeding season, the northern gannets (Morus bassanus), seen here on the German North Sea island of Heligoland, are highly dedicated to continuously transporting materials for their nest hollow. This is conveniently carried out using the bird's beak. The partner gratefully receives the materials in an elaborate greeting ceremony.

This House Wren has brought back some nesting materials and is looking up where it's nest is, about to take the final leap there.
Taken 15 May 2017 at Magee Marsh, Ohio.
Mangrove Swallow gathers nesting materials in March near the shore of Crooked Tree Lagoon. Funny Story: this guy sat there and kept eyeing the bigger stick you see in front of him. He finally dropped the small pieces of grass and flew off with the bigger stick which was nearly two feet long! I'm sure the Mrs. was impressed.
The crew of BIP 178 performs their last job of the day spotting a cut of tank cars for Asphalt Materials Inc. near Marietta, OH. Once done, they'll head west to Blue Knob Rd. where the afternoon crew will take over for the trip into Parkersburg's High Yard.
It looks as though this greater coucal (centropus sinensis) is about to peck its way into a large fruit. Not true!! The bird was actually gathering nesting material by pulling off individual leaf fibres. Photographed in Khao Lak, Phang Nga, Thailand.
On August 31, 2012 a long filament of solar material that had been hovering in the sun's atmosphere, the corona, erupted out into space at 4:36 p.m. EDT. The coronal mass ejection, or CME, traveled at over 900 miles per second. The CME did not travel directly toward Earth, but did connect with Earth's magnetic environment, or magnetosphere, causing aurora to appear on the night of Monday, September 3.
