This olive tree was standing in front of a stage which was lighted with green spots. Perfect opportunity to try out the bokeh capabilities of this vintage lens.

Colaptes rubiginosus
(Golden-olive woodpecker / Carpintero verdidorado)
The golden-olive woodpecker (Colaptes rubiginosus) is a resident breeding bird from Mexico south and east to Guyana, northwest Argentina, Trinidad and Tobago. It was formerly placed in the genus Piculus. The scientific name rubiginosus means "full of rust", describing the color of the bird's wings and back.
The habitat of this woodpecker is forests, more open woodland, and cultivation. It is most common in the mountains. Due to its habitat—mainly montane forest, separated by large rivers—it has evolved into about 20 subspecies. Andean birds show a pale eyering.
Golden-olive woodpeckers mainly eat insects, including ants and beetle larvae, with some fruit and berries.
Franciscan Monks took olives to Central America and moved North through the missions of Mexico. In 1769, the first olive cuttings were planted in California at the San Diego Mission where the olives thrived in California’s climate.
Taken from the taxi window - it was so wet that morning from the storm the night before that the trail we were supposed to ride had been washed out!

So there you go, oh
Can't make a wife out of a ho, oh
I'll never find the words to say I'm sorry
But I'm scared to be alone
You cut out a piece of me, and now I bleed internally
Left here without you (no, no, no), without you (ooh, ooh)
And it hurts for me to think about what life could possibly be like
Without you (no, no, no), without you (no, no)
♥
Thank you my friends for popping by.
I really appreciate your visits, comments & favourites.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a great week ahead
Take care and stay safe everyone
Thank you

The John Oliver Cabin was constructed in the early 1820’s by John Oliver and his wife Lucretia. The Oliver's were the first permanent white settlers of Cades Cove, which is now part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Dogwoods blooming and it's a beautiful spring evening in the mountains.
Thanks for viewing.
"with their honeyed heaviness, their lush trembling,
their eagerness
to be wild and perfect for a moment, before they are
nothing, forever?"
Wikipedia: The olive-backed sunbird (Cinnyris jugularis), also known as the yellow-bellied sunbird, is a species of sunbird found from Southern Asia to Australia. Originally from mangrove habitat, the olive-backed sunbird has adapted well to humans, and is now common even in fairly densely populated areas, even forming their nests in human dwellings.

This was Olive, my sister's family's dog. She was a loving, quirky dog, slow to warm to people, yet devoted to her family. She passed away last night.
This Olive Warbler is yet another of our target birds in Arizona last week. The first one we found was a youngster so we kept searching until we found this nice adult male. He gave us a surprisingly good look and put some serious smiles on our faces.

I photographed this bird at Jerrabomberra Wetlands in Canberra. I am thinking it is an olive-backed oriole. Please let me know if you think it may be something else.
