Rainbow lorikeets are true parrots, within the Psittacoidea superfamily in the order Psittaciformes. The rainbow lorikeet or lorikeet (common name) is a species of parrot found in Australia. It is common along the eastern seaboard, from northern Queensland to South Australia. Its habitat is rainforest, coastal bush and woodland areas. They are true parrots of medium-size, with the length ranging from 25 to 30 cm, including the tail. The weight varies from 75 to 157 g. The plumage of the nominate race, as with all subspecies, is very bright. The head is deep blue with a greenish-yellow nuchal collar, and the rest of the upper parts (wings, back and tail) are green. The chest is orange/yellow. The belly is deep blue, and the thighs and rump are green. In flight a yellow wing-bar contrasts clearly with the red underwing coverts.
Gordonia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae, related to Franklinia, Camellia and Stewartia. Of the roughly 40 species, all but two are native to southeast Asia in southern China, Taiwan and Indochina. They are evergreen trees, growing to 10–20 m tall. The bark is thick and deeply fissured. The leaves are alternately arranged, simple, serrated, thick, leathery, glossy, and 6–18 cm long. The flowers are large and conspicuous, 4–15 cm diameter, with 5 (occasionally 6-8) white petals; flowering is in late winter or early spring. The species are adapted to acidic soils, and do not grow well on chalk or other calcium-rich soils. They also have a high rainfall requirement and will not tolerate drought. 2327
Well... some poor misguided person nominated me for the Bloggies. So, I talk about that on the blog, PLUS, newness, PLUS... other things. You're going to have to read it to find out. readmeri.wordpress.com/2020/10/09/nom-nom-nominated/
Alex is an actor, singer, composer and photographer, who brings you new tunes wrapped in old time feeling. He sounds like Sinatra; his mannerism is also from the 1950s-60s. I have seen him treating his numerous fans, who range from twentysomething to seventysomething, with kindness and respect. The vocalist was nominated for 2022 Juno Award. (Canadian Grammy). His band the 'Jazz Mavericks' include Jacob Gorzhaltsan-sax, Ewen Farncombe-piano, Daniel Botos-drums and Ben Dwyer on bass. At 'Tapestry' on the day it opened under new ownership.

A view looking east into downtown Austin from the rusted rails of the West 3rd St. Railroad Trestle over Shoal Creek. Constructed in 1925 by the International-Great Northern Railroad as a replacement to an earlier 1876 bridge, the wooden structure is one of the last physical reminders of the rail lines that fueled Austin's rapid development as a regional hub starting in the 1870s. The trestle was last used in the 1990s, and is currently nominated for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.
With a population of just over one million residents, Austin is the 10th largest city in the United States. The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Area, now with a population of 2.3M, also is the fastest growing large metropolitan area in the country having added more than 579,000 residents since 2010.

After being nominated by several people here is my SLBareface Challenge 2020 picture.
I guess not that different to my usual pictures anyways as I barely use any makeup except a little eyeliner. My lashes as they are also not that big I kept on, as even without makeup I have some in RL right? But I took off my hair and wrapped it up so the attention is on the face.
Thank you for challenging me and I wish you all an amazing humpday! <3

The very heavy dark streaking below probably point to this bird being of the Icelandic race coburni. We get visitors from both Scandinavia, the nominate race, iliacus, and from Iceland. Icelandic birds are generally more common in Scotland but the flocks mix a lot.

The adult male of the nominate subspecies, P. p. pica, is 44–46 cm (17–18 in) in length, of which more than half is the tail. The wingspan is 52–62 cm (20–24 in). The head, neck and breast are glossy black with a metallic green and violet sheen; the belly and scapulars (shoulder feathers) are pure white; the wings are black glossed with green or purple, and the primaries have white inner webs, conspicuous when the wing is open. The graduated tail is black, glossed with green and reddish purple. The legs and bill are black; the iris is dark brown. The plumage of the sexes is similar but females are slightly smaller. The tail feathers of both sexes are quite long, about 12–28 cm long. Males of the nominate subspecies weigh 210–272 g (7.4–9.6 oz) while females weigh 182–214 g (6.4–7.5 oz). The young resemble the adults, but are at first without much of the gloss on the sooty plumage. The young have the malar region pink, and somewhat clear eyes. The tail is much shorter than the adults.
The subspecies differ in their size, the amount of white on their plumage and the colour of the gloss on their black feathers. The Asian subspecies P. p. bactriana has more extensive white on the primaries and a prominent white rump.
Adults undergo an annual complete moult after breeding. Moult begins in June or July and ends in September or October. The primary flight feathers are replaced over a period of three months. Juvenile birds undergo a partial moult beginning about one month later than the adult birds in which their body feathers are replaced but not those of the wings or the tail.
Eurasian magpies have a well-known call. It is a choking chatter "chac-chac" or a repetitive "chac-chac-chac-chac". The young also emit the previous call, although they also emit an acute call similar to a "Uik Uik", which may resemble the barking of a small dog. Both adults and young can emit a kind of hiss barely noticeable from afar.

Bastian on my lap at the Darak cat show in Strøby today. He got nominated for the stage show, but didn't win. We did however have a wonderful day together. :)

I don't think the little calf to the side belongs to this poor mama, who does seem to have twins - very BIG twins. They were off to the side of the herd, almost like mama was nominated to watch the youngsters. Or maybe they just thought it better to stay out of the way when the rutting activities heated up. Other goings-on took my attention and I lost track.
I have been nominated three times!

I was nominated by my friend Jolie to do the Bunny's Challenge for Children Battling Cancer at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Thank you Jolie. This is a great cause and I am happy to be a part of this challenge..

Burnside, the 6 times Blues Music Award drummer of the year, did not touch drum sticks in Montreal. He played acoustic and electric guitar and sung. This was fine, as he had a competent drummer and bassist behind him. He was nominated for Grammy few times and won in 2022.
The grandson of R.L. Burnside seemed happy on the stage, first with few songs on acoustic guitar before his band mates joined. He is only 45, but plays blues already for 30 years. Fun fact: he replaced his father on drums in his grandpa band.
351. Montreal P1150316; Taken 2024-Jun 30. Upload 2024-Jul 29.
Burnside, seis veces baterista del año en el Blues Music Award, no tocó las baquetas en Montreal. Tocaba la guitarra acústica y eléctrica y cantaba. Esto estaba bien, ya que tenía un baterista y un bajista competentes detrás de él. Fue nominado al Grammy varias veces y ganó en 2022.
El nieto de R.L. Burnside parecía feliz en el escenario, primero con algunas canciones en la guitarra acústica antes de que se unieran sus compañeros de banda. Sólo tiene 45 años, pero ya toca blues desde hace 30. Dato curioso: reemplazó a su padre en la batería en la banda de su abuelo.

RUNSWICK BAY.
We drove through the Cleveland Hills, North-Yorkshire, the weather getting more and more ominous as we got closer to the Heritage Coast, flat light, no detail in the sky, ah well it was going to be 'an outing' of discovery and mental photography...
That's how we came to this beautiful little village, the road ends just before this, I was so enthralled by what I saw, grabbed my stuff, jumped out of the car, ran towards the sea, this was my first shot.
Thank you for all your kindness and as always, thanks for your visits and comments today, M, (*_*)

Taken awhile back!
We'd left Whitby because of the incoming sea mist.
The light gone, not dressed for it on this otherwise lovely summer's day for the cold surprise that suddenly enveloped us, we decided to go inland to capture the sunset.
The road took us passed Robin Hood's Bay.
Now, on that part of the beautiful North-Yorkshire Heritage Coast, you drive along the top of the cliffs, you are high up, it was sunny again, we gave into the temptation and turned in, with Nature, you never know, maybe it was just around Whitby...
You have to park your car above the village and walk down.
Before we arrived there we wanted to let our dog out, I followed the white plume of his tail as he wandered off into a field full of wildflowers, nettles and brambles, to my amazement this was the scene that unfolded in front of my feasting eyes, the mist was already grabbing the church.
I ran for my camera, back just in time for this.
Underneath that thick blanket are the bay and the sea.
By the time Paul got his gear out, that day he had decided on a Hasselblad-day + tripod... everything was covered in mist, yeah, sigh, when you miss it, you miss it!
Hope your day is clear, thanx for viewing, Magda, (*_*)

FOUR.
I am a sensitive realists who through photography escapes from reality, by capturing real moments in time.
That is how I see the world.
The cathedral like trees, dappled light, and again, the silence only broken by a bumblebee, a bird, a distant moo, the shutter of the camera.
This is ZEN.
Hope your day is filled with smiles and thank you,,M, (*_*)

Fragment of us
Fragment of Us is a short documentary set inside a virtual world, observing a 21-day period of connection between two people through their avatars. The film considers how experiences that might take a lifetime in physical life can unfold repeatedly and rapidly online, yet carry the same emotional weight. By documenting this compressed cycle, it questions why intimacy, attachment, and loss remain just as real when lived digitally, even as the environment allows them to begin again
The adult male of the nominate subspecies, S. e. europaea is 14 cm (5.5 in) long with a 22.5–27 cm (8.9–10.6 in) wingspan. It weighs 17–28 g (0.6–1 oz). It has blue-grey upperparts, a black eye-stripe and whitish throat and underparts. The flanks and lower belly are orange-red, mottled with white on the undertail. The stout bill is dark grey with a paler area on the base of the lower mandible, the iris is dark brown and the legs and feet are pale brown or greyish. Most other members of the S. e. europaea group differ only in detail from the nominate form, often with respect to the hue of the underparts, but S. e. arctica is quite distinctive. It is large, pale, has a white forehead and a reduced eye-stripe, and it has more white in the tail and wings than any other subspecies. Nuthatches move on trees with short leaps, and do not use their tails for support. In flight, they have a characteristic appearance, with a pointed head, round wings and a short, square tail. Their flight is fast, with wings closed between beats, and is usually of short duration.
S. e. caesia, the most widespread of the western subspecies, has orange-buff underparts except for a white throat and cheeks. The other western forms mainly differ in the exact shade of the underparts, although some southeastern forms also show a white forehead and supercilium. S. e. sinensis and S. e. formosana, of China and Taiwan respectively, have buff underparts like the western races, but have buff, instead of white, throats.
The female is similar in appearance to the male, but may be identified by her slightly paler upperparts, a browner eyestripe and a more washed-out tone to the flanks and lower belly. In the eastern form, S. e. asiatica, some males have buff underparts like the female, and birds with this appearance are difficult to sex in the field. Young birds resemble the female, although their plumage is duller and they have paler legs. Individuals can be reliably sexed as female from about 12 days old by their paler and buffer flanks, or, in some white-breasted subspecies, by the creamier hue of their underparts.
Adults have a complete moult after breeding which takes about 80 days, starting from late May onwards and finishing by late September. The moult period for Siberian birds is more compressed, running from June to mid-September. Fledged juveniles moult some of their wing coverts when they are about eight weeks old.
In much of its range, Eurasian is the only nuthatch present. In southeast Europe and southwest Asia, the western and eastern rock nuthatches are larger and paler than the Eurasian species. They also lack white spots in the tail and are usually found in a different, stony habitat, and Krüper's nuthatch is small and has a black cap and reddish breast patch. In southwest China, the chestnut-vented nuthatch is very similar to the European bird, but is darker above, has less white on the face and has greyer underparts.
The Indian golden oriole was described by the English naturalist William Henry Sykes in 1832 and given the binomial name Oriolus kundoo.Although initially described as a separate species, the Indian golden oriole was usually treated as a subspecies of the Eurasian golden oriole. In 2005, the ornithologists Pamela Rasmussen and John Anderton in their Birds of South Asia decided to treat the two varieties as separate species based on the differences in morphology, plumage, calls and the fact that the two varieties do not intergrade. Support for this split was provided by a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010,and most ornithologists now treat the Indian golden oriole as a separate species.[6] The race baltistanicus was judged by Charles Vaurie to be indistinguishable from the nominate subspecies and the Indian golden oriole is considered to be monotypic.
