Even the smallest amongst us, needs a sunny spot to rest. I don't often see them sitting still and this is the first time i've even seen one sleeping..

It's not only the scenery you miss by going to fast-
you also miss the sense of where you are going and why." Eddie Cantor

Cabalo de Pradeiras headland.
Fili was pooped after a 3-hr hike in the morning, a few hours of walking around A Coruña and a long lunch where she probably didn't get a chance to sleep because of the large dog of some nearby diners. We were walking through this park on the edge of the city when she just lay down and refused to go any further. So, here we stayed for the next hour. She certainly picked a nice spot.
A short tour with Mike, Andrew and John. Taking in some revisits and some new spots.

Black-naped Oriole, Oriolus chinensis, Dendang Selayang
This is common species in my backyard, particularly active in the early morning and late afternoon, and for some reason i cant get a decent shot at it with my Canon. But today i am lucky.
This is a species that has successfully made the transition from coastal wooded areas and mangroves into city gardens and parks. But it still prefers to stay hidden inside the low canopy. Usually its melodious fluty whistle gives it away. It feeds with other garden birds on fruiting trees like papaya and mango and also catches large insects.
Nappers Bridge and the Lake Bonney Hotel.
William Napper a farm labourer from Guernsey arrived in SA on the Oriental in 1855 when he was 28 years old. With his friend William Parnell they tried working as timber cutters for the passing riverboat trade along the Murray. Their wives and families joined them. In 1859 William Parnell built the Lake Bonney Hotel to capitalise on the travellers passing overland with their livestock. In 1863 Napper purchased 80 acres of land and the hotel buildings from. William’s first wife Ann died in 1869 and his second wife died in 1877 just after they had moved to become the licensees of the Overland Corner Hotel. It is not clear but the Lake Bonney Hotel probably closed when Napper left it. The hotel had eleven rooms, some with magnificently built chimneys and a store hut nearer Lake Bonney. Napper’s private residence which still stands was located in front of the old store and cellars. William Napper returned to the deserted Lake Bonney Hotel in the 1880s to operate it as an accommodation place. He died here in 1907 and was buried nearby in the Overland Corner Hotel cemetery just north of the old hotel.
This building is the old store and cellars.

Our Daily Challenge - Feb 11, 2016 - "Abandoned"
..., looks...
Daily Dog Challenge 1564. "Relaxed"
... and ready for a nap.
Sometimes a shoot surprises you.
I fully expected to choose a Henry Picture today - as Zachary doesn't usually "do" Relaxed, but my boy surprised me today and IMHO nailed it.
Yes, I could quibble about his semi-pricked ears and open eyes, but I won't.
For Zachary during a photo shoot, this is about as relaxed as it's ever going to get.

Red-naped sapscuker on MacQueen Lake Road, north of Kamloops, BC. What I like about the photo (aside from its such a cool bird to see close up!), is that it captures the "treatment" (liitle holes) the sapsucker is applying to the tree -possibly to creatte a good environment to attrack insects that it will later come back and eat,
Location: Novellara (Italy).
Subject: In the popular social networks, the cat is the flattering subject par excellence, the one which can make you have a lot of likes and honeydripping comments from true and fake friends. I realized that my portfolio was lacking cats, so here it is one catching its forty winks on a window-sill (and catching the attention of all my followers, I hope). By the way, this image was taken with a very cheap point-and-shoot camera: hence, when shooting cats for your favourite social network, you have no excuses for taking ugly pictures.
