Finally, one stopped moving long enough to get a photo! These beautiful finch live in large flocks and all want to land on the feeder at the same moment. This one was just contemplating his next move.

I allà era ell, amb menjar pel petit que hi havia dins del niu... No m'hi vaig acostar més, no volia estorbar-lo.

Ensenada de Baiona
La ensenada de Baiona constituye un pequeño sistema dentro de la Ría de Vigo. En ella desembocan distintos cursos fluviales entre los que destacan el río da Groba, y especialmente, el río Miñor. La dinámica litoral hizo que delante de la desembocadura de estos cursos se acabase constituyendo la flecha de arena conocida como Playa Ladeira.

Yup , another random car find and this time a Morris Minor convertible .
I think it is a 1961 948 cc model .
It looked in a very good condition from what I saw at a distance .
Always nice when you start a gray day on the road, and you drive along a lake, the sky opens up, and you see this!.
Norway, a stunningly beautiful country. Around every corner a chance for a scenic image, forcing me from time to time to stop every kilometer to get out of my car, sometimes with screeching brakes, and sometimes forcing me to curse because there was no place to stop.
Lovely valleys, bare mountains and cold winds, snow packs, glaciers, beautiful lakes, and then there are the enchanting fjords that never stop to amaze. The most beautiful country of Europe, for me no doubt about that, with only one minor aspect, which is the weather. During my month of traveling I only had 4 really nice days, the rest of the time clouds, rain, and very changeable! Still no regret, and I will go back to make even more than the 3500 pictures that I took this time.
Another very active vacation that took me to the south west up to Trondheim in a sort of triangle between Oslo- trondheim and Bergen with the whole route visible here (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153668247101759&set...).
This American Goldfinch had been perched atop the bird feeder holder and is seen here just as it flew away. I am calling this a Sunday Slider, due to a few minor tweaks, including cleaning up the top of the feeder, if you know what I mean. 😊

We don't see the native hares in our neighbourhood frequently, but certainly every once in a while. Initially I was thrilled to see one in the front garden this morning, but then noticed the injury on its left side. It looks like it's had it for a while, and so we're hoping and praying it's only minor. Not sure if the scar is from a run-in with one of the local predators, or a fence...
Dongdaemun Design Plaza's "Design Playground" is a long corridor inside the building winding its way through the snailhouse and has a total length of 533 meters! Us tiny humans get lost in it. Surprisingly, almost nobody was there when I visited.
Today I saw a picture from an Uzbekistan city, which reminded me I still have lots of nice pictures from that part of the world that I never posted. Many are from older buildings, that are stunning pieces of architecture, but this one is a recent building (opened in 2014) that shows the people in Uzbekistan are still very talented when it comes to making magnificent mosques.
Earlier I posted a fragment (the inner dome www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/49683223038/in/album-...), this is the building from the outside.
20 September 2019 I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.
Seal Lake, Sauvie Island.18 April 2021.
Musky carefully waded out into the lake in order to get a closer look at a Greater Yellowlegs. He doesn't swim much anymore, and is not that interested in following the common ducks. But the Yellowlegs were a new sighting for his life list and he was very curious about and intent on them.
