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.

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/
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

Thank you to all of you who made this possible.
It means a lot for me ♥

Mon premier article a été posté le 13 sept. 2016, alors c'est vraiment une grande et belle surprise d'avoir été nominé.
Merci à vous tous d'avoir rendu cela possible.
Cela signifie beaucoup pour moi ♥
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.
I have been nominated by Derek Roberts to carryout the 5 day B&W challenge, so here is my fifth contribution.

This photo was taken a few years ago on a pre-Christmas trip to one of my best top destinations ever, beautiful Prague... It is not only that my Grandmother was a Czech but the City is so well-fraught with wit, this Slavic spirit that makes both Slavic and non-Slavic visitors alike feel like home...Added by famous second-to-none Bohemian humour (just remember My Sweet Little Village by Jiří Menzel nominated for the Academy Award, or Jaroslav Hašek's satire The Good Soldier Schweik which is the most translated novel of Czech literature) not to mention some of the most impressive pieces of architecture, numerous theaters and squares providing venues for jazzers playing in the open-air, teamed with the world-renowned beer, and greasy and unhealthy but extremely delicious noodles with bacon bits, this is a feeling no one should miss experiencing ...
Having purchased my Canon EOS 550D just a couple of months previously, little did I know then what proper night photography was. I just stood there fascinated by the scene and thrilled to witness one of the world's most photographed sights best known for being the location from the first Mission Impossible movie. If I hadn't been a total photographic beginner then, I'd never have dared take this photo in such a lighthearted and easy going way and, of course, without a tripod (still don't have one :)...and it turns out I'd got a beginner's luck...Well, I took it anyway, and now I'm glad I did because whenever I see it I feel like going there again...and now i do have one reason more to do so...and delight in that all around at-home-like feeling once again...:)
Key word: mission impossible.:).. Cheers, my friends!
Got this poster sent and I´m nominated in several categories.
Proud to post it - please vote for me 😘👍😁

I was out birdwatching at a local reservoir this morning and this stunning male Yellow Wagtail dropped in. They are largely a bird of the lowlands nowadays so birds in my part of the Pennines are not at all common, though I usually see one or two on passage each year. I took a few photos of him in the sunshine but the colours seemed to bleach so I prefer this one where he was perched in the shadow of the dam wall.
The subspecies of Yellow Wagtail that breeds in Britain is flavissima, which means very yellow, as opposed to the nominate Continental breeding subspecies flava, which just means yellow. The two are pretty similar from the neck down but our British flavissima is also yellow on the throat, cheeks and eyebrow with a complementary green crown and eyestripe. The British Yellow Wagtail population has been in steep decline particularly since the 1980s. Between 1967 and 2013 the breeding population dropped by nearly 75% with the losses mainly from the margins of its distribution. It is now largely found in central and eastern England but has all-but disappeared from the uplands where it used to nest in may-meadows. Now it nests in damp places, low-lying farmland and river valleys. It increasingly nests in arable crops (eg rape, root crops and peas) but feeds mainly in pasture or along drainage ditches.
WOW!
I'm both thrilled and humbled

Lagopus muta muta (nominate, french : Lagopède alpin) - Around Mont de Grange, Upper-Savoy, France
This species being tight to cold climates, it is in the high mountains that it lives all year round in France, over 2000 masl, and it is where I came to find him, around the magnificent Mont de Grange, maybe the wildest mountain around my home.
I had met this bird it this place two years ago, when I was not using a camera, so I came back with a good hope that they might be resident and still here, and thus take a picture.
Indeed two of them were there, feeding on a slope mixing grass and rocks lanslides, its prefered habitat, that compose the background of the picture. They first gave clue of their presence by the so peculiar song, described as "that of a stick being pulled rapidly across the slats of a picket fence", a sort of strange rattle. Then one showed up near the trail, and stay standing a long time, for the best sight I could expect.
This species has the particularity of moulting three times a year, so that it is perfectly camouflaged all year round according to the seasons and the changing colors in its environment. Also, the red comb above the eye is more or less swollen by a blood supply controlled by the bird. During my observation, the size of the eyebrow varied greatly, and was sometimes much more visible than when I took the photo.
The male is completly white during winter when snow covers everything, only the comb remains red, and here it is the breeding plumage. Another adaptation to its life in the snow is found in its tarsi, which are covered with feathers.
It is a fantastic bird, and we enjoy to be close to some individuals during a hike in the most preserved mountains.

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, (*_*)

A dwarf of the nominate mainland subspecies reaching a total length of about 250mm and is also less "rugose", this subspecies is restricted to Rottnest Island off the coast of Fremantle / Perth, Western Australia
I was nominated , the world through my eyes.
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, (*_*)

Thank you so much for all your support ♥
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 Liberty Historic District is located in the small community of Liberty (population of 374 in 2019) in rural western Dekalb County in Middle Tennessee. The District was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places under criteria A & C for its association with the Sparta-Lebanon center for the surrounding farms in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and as a fine collection of vernacular architecture dating between the 1820's and 1930's. When Liberty's small scale vernacular architecture is combined with its narrow tree-lined streets, rock walls and stone fences, outbuildings, and surrounding farmland, the feeling of a nineteenth to early twentieth century community is readily conveyed. Located at 375 East Main Street, this is the Organ House built circa 1890 with its Greek Revival architecture. This house is listed on the original documents submitted to the NRHP as inventory item #65 and includes a great description of the details of the house. The historic district, including the Organ House, was added to the registry on June 25, 1987. More information about the historic district (and that description of this house) can be viewed on those original documents located here:

The nominate White Wagtail - Motacilla alba alba – is found over most of Europe. The Pied Wagtail is the subspecies that occurs, primarily, in the UK and Ireland - Motacilla alba yarrellii.
This male White Wagtail in summer breeding plumage was seen on a fence post in the stunning Tyrol mountains near Seefeld in Austria.
The masked booby (Sula dactylatra), also called the masked gannet or the blue-faced booby, is a large seabird of the booby and gannet family, Sulidae.
The largest species of booby, the masked booby ranges from 75 to 85 cm (30 to 33 in) long, with a 160–170 cm (63–67 in) wingspan and 1.2–2.2 kg (2.6–4.9 lb) weight. It has a typical sulid body shape, with a long pointed bill, long neck, aerodynamic body, long slender wings and pointed tail. The adult is bright white with dark wings and a dark tail.
The sexes have similar plumage with no seasonal variation, but females are on average slightly heavier and larger than males.[31] The bare skin around the face, throat and lores is described either as black or blue-black. It contrasts with the white plumage and gives a mask-like appearance.
The bill of the nominate subspecies is pale yellow with a greenish tinge, sometimes greyish at the base. Conical in shape, the bill is longer than the head and tapers to a slightly downcurved tip. Backward-pointing serrations line the mandibles. The primaries, secondaries, humerals and rectrices are brown-black. The inner webs of the secondaries are white at the base. The underwing is white except for the brown-black flight-feathers that are not covered by the white coverts. The legs are yellow-orange or olive. The iris is yellow.
