This shot was captured the same day as the previous upload (the Trillium closeup). Perhaps it will help put that flower, which was among those shown in the clump to the right of the road, into context for you.
Thanks to all who visit, fave, comment, and extend invitations. Your support is much appreciated. I will be sure to visit your work, too
Perhaps I should have titled this, "don't look if you are squeamish." I was surprised and rather grossed out, after uploading shots of a Yellow-shafted Flicker, when I saw this one of the bird seeming to savor the grub it was about to swallow.
Perhaps not an accurate title but catchy title anyway. This is a stream I discovered while hiking near Lake Minnewanka. It is located in Banff National Park, Alberta Canada. The day was perfect and the clouds were incredible. Processed in Lightroom and Topaz.
the Torre dell'Arenella, part of the complex of the Tonnara, Quattro Pizzi etc ... was built in 1852 by Don Vincenzo Florio Sr. (1799-1868), who had called a Dutchman to draw up the project. It served as a windmill or mechanical mill to grind sumac, a grass which, reduced to powder, was indispensable for the tanning of hides.
It worked for a few years, the exports were booming, then the workers began to get smart, mixing fake herb powder with that of the precious sumac, the result: the mill closed and business in smoke.
The tower also served as a lighthouse, as reported by an old nautical map of the port.
Arenella perhaps owes its name to the fine sand that once covered its coast.

la Torre dell'Arenella, facente parte del complesso della Tonnara, Quattro Pizzi etc...fu fatta costruire nel 1852 da Don Vincenzo Florio Sr. (1799-1868), che aveva chiamato un olandese per redigerne il progetto. Ebbe funzione di mulino a vento o meccanico per macinare il sommacco, un'erba, che, ridotta in polvere, era indispensabile per la concia delle pelli.
Funzionò per qualche anno, le esportazioni a gonfie vele, poi le maestranze cominciarono a fare i furbi, mescolando polvere di erbe fasulle a quella del prezioso sommacco, risultato: mulino chiuso e affari in fumo.
La torre ebbe anche funzione di Faro, come riportato da una vecchia carta nautica del Porto .
L'Arenella forse deve il suo nome alla fina sabbia che una volta ricopriva il suo litorale .
Perhaps I overate?
Dacnis Cayana - Male - The Blue Dacnis is a stunning inhabitant of humid lowland forest from Honduras to south to northeastern Argentina. The Blue Dacnis is sexually dimorphic: the male primarily is bright turquoise blue with a black throat, back and tail, whereas the female is mostly green with a blue crown. Blue Dacnis are most often found foraging for nectar and insects in the tops of trees along forest edges or small clearings. When foraging for insects, the Blue Dacnis usually takes its prey from leaves, often with acrobatic maneuvers; the Blue Dacnis frequently pays particular attention to brown spots on green leaves, apparently seeking out leaf damage that might indicate the presence of an insect.
The common name for this species in Spanish is the Dacnis Azul (Hilty 2011, de Juana et al. 2012), and in Portuguese it is Saí-Azul (CRBO 2010). The etymology of Dacnis comes from the Greek daknis, an unidentified bird from Egypt (Jobling 2010). The specific epithet cayana was used along with cayanensis and cayanus in to refer to Cayenne or French Guiana; Cayenne was often used for species that were from an uncertain province thought to be in the Amazon (Jobling 2010). Birds of the World.

Perhaps it does have a name, but it's not named on Google Maps. I found it while driving out in the country in Connecticut. I was happy to make a quick stop to explore and phtograph this little peice of nature right off the road!
Perhaps it is a walk through scenes like this that really does help to build whatever that is! Stay safe.

La dura vita della volpe in inverno.
Angelo Branduardi
La Volpe
Sento già l'inverno venire
e nell'aria c'è odore di neve,
silenziosa sul bosco cadrà
e lo coprirà...
Per il gelo gli alberi chini,
questa notte so che la volpe è venuta,
del suo passo lungo il sentiero
è rimasta l'orma...
Si è fermata là sull'altura
l'aria annusando indecisa,
si è ritratta poi tremando un po'
di paura
Ecco che l'inverno è venuto,
sul mio bosco è caduta la neve,
ora il gelo prenderà anche il fiume
e lo fermerà...
Lenti voli di corvi neri,
questa notte so che la volpe è venuta,
inseguendo lungo il sentiero
una vaga traccia...
Si è fermata là sull'altura
l'aria annusando indecisa,
si è ritratta poi tremando un po'
di paura
Perhaps it is true that any past time was better.
In my photography classes I always say that we cannot photograph far from our state of mind. What do you think about it?
Perhaps the most beautiful Italian city, with a wonderful pedestrian historical center, and beautiful reflections on the river Arno!!
Crack Den..Urban roleplay sim that has a taste for a more dark tales if you're into it and off course where is crime..there are cops!! I present you a roleplaying duo , partners in facing crime or perhaps the police tends to be a little 'naughty' as well? Who knows?!!
*hides his own files and whistles very innocent while hitting the button -Upload!!-*
Female or juvenile. Landed on a tree rope. In flight, next photo.
Many thanks for your kind comments and support.
Other hummy photo in first comment.
Perhaps another image which finds its beauty in B&W. The original green color was not a shade I was fond of! This was the parting glimpse I had of the beautiful canal that feeds into the lake of the backwaters. There are a few more images of the lake that are coming soon before we leave this beautiful place.

Perhaps the oldest settlement in Brazil, since the exploratory expedition of Gaspar de Lemos and Américo Vespúcio arrived at the place on January 24, 1502, which left a Portuguese exile Cosme Fernandes, known as Bacharel de Cananéia, who became a powerful figure in the region, coming to own many slaves and not paying allegiance to the Portuguese crown. Years later, in 1531, Portugal sent another expedition, under the command of Martim Afonso de Sousa, who arrived in the community of Cananéia, this date being considered the foundation of the village.
This facade seems to be a remnant of the early 18th century, a house built with stone and clay and lime mortar and waterproofed with whale oil.

A few weeks back, I was in Niagara on the Lake. I was shooting a few windows but I did like this shot.
Happy Window Wednesday
Grandpops Woodlice, also known as Philip Male, wrote that he would prefer to see one yellow bead. (See his comments on the previous macro, if curious.) I'm not certain if that meant one yellow bead without the tiny 18mm glass container or cork top. Perhaps he is quite a minimalist, although perhaps not. That is a large bear he posted today.
Fiddled with this a tad in an old version of Photoshop.
Perhaps as close to parity as I have ever seen in a fight between a Yellow-crowned Night Heron and a blue crab but still a one-sided affair. After only a couple of rounds the crab had lost most of the appendages on the right side and those on the left soon followed. Even then it took quite a while for the bird to pulverize the crab's carapace sufficiently to get it down the hatch. On Horsepen Bayou.
You don't have a soul , you 'are' a soul and you have a body. Your body you can have but I claim what you are.
Agaliarept , one of my roleplay characters at Revenland and just like my earlier pictures are many touches on this picture linked to the personality of my guy. He will trick the weak , he will claim the broken ones and seduce those who hunger for a touch but at the end he 'will' take one's soul or simply drain one to death.
I'm a role-player , proud to be one and even more..it inspires me in so many ways.
Enjoy and perhaps we will meet! ;)

Seagulls are quite chatty. They have no problems squawking and letting their voices be heard.
Gulls are social creatures and will communicate with other birds flying above, this was very loud at the harbor, perhaps was complaining about the water being frozen:-)
Perhaps not. Bandit decided to check it out and I thought it would make a nice platform for a puppy family photo. Unfortunately, Bailey had better things to do. I did manage to get a few quick snapshots of Trinity and Bandit before they were off exploring again.
It's unpredictable. When your mind crosses a certain line. You're unable to breathe even when there is abundant air around you. There is just one thought in your mind and you must fulfill it. That is when all the energy of the universe aspires to push you, encourage you, make you believe that this is your desire and yours alone that has to be done this instant. Nothing else rules your being and your feet are no longer yours when you rush out, chasing it, not allowing anything to stop you.
Dodging the fear, the uncertainty, all the lies and hatred that was disguised in kindness. All the care with hidden agendas and most especially all those promises coated in loneliness. Leaving behind your aspirations just for the sake of validity. Being silent instead of speaking since it would go unheard anyways. Enough is enough.
And when you reach your destination, an understanding that it's alright to put yourself first. You are allowed to want without judgment. When you have done it. An explosion of worries and failure rise to the surface. Your breath suddenly returns, the feeling of relief washes over your senses. All it takes is a smile as you can rest peacefully for once. And perhaps for awhile...
P.S. There is a rainbow in the windlight itself! Bambi is amazing!

Perhaps the best-known group of Narcissus, many of these large Trumpet Daffodils such as 'King Alfred' have been favorites since Victorian times. Multiplying freely, these terrific naturalizers have a long blooming season. Large flowers, with trumpets as long as or longer than the flower petals.
Perhaps this will be my last winter image for this season since we are officially into spring. Taken about 7 years ago of the historic Wagaman Mill near my home. HMM
but you can always make it less thankless. :-)

Perhaps the most famous view with Prague Castle and the St Vitus Cathedral on the hill. My first attempt at a blue hour shot, only heard about it a few months ago, still not used a tripod. This was taken from a river side restaurant, every table was taken by 5.00 pm.
Then as the sky darkened, cameras came out & you could not move or see the bridge for all the people, tripods & selfie shooters.
Great watching the more professional photographers with their multiple shots,long exposures & different filters.
One even felt sorry for me, looking at my expensive camera balanced on railings, he offer the use of his tripod, too late already taken this, not bad for a first attempt
Grass is perhaps on of the most unremarkable plants that I know. We see it almost everywhere and because of that we hardly are noticing it anymore. But in moments like this, when the sun is creating an aura of light around the blossoms, suddenly its full of magic and beautiful.
To see things in the right light is a phrase, what has importance not only in the field of photography. We all give the final meaning to the things around us and to our own experiences by the way we are looking at them. There is so much magic, there are so many miracles hidden around us and inside of ourselfs. It is worth searching for the right light and the right perspective, to discover as much of them as possible.
Gras ist wahrscheinlich eine der unscheinbarsten Pflanzen die ich kenne. Wir sehen es fast überall und nehmen es somit kaum noch wahr. Doch in solchen Momenten, wenn die untergehende Sonne eine Aura des Lichts um die Blüten erschafft, ist es plötzlich voller Magie und wunderschön.
Die Dinge im richtigen Licht zu betrachten ist eine Formulierung die nicht nur in der Fotografie von großer Bedeutung ist. Wir geben den Dingen um uns herum und denen, die wir selbst erleben, erst die wahre Bedeutung, durch die Art wie wir sie betrachten. Es ist so viel Magie, es sind so viele Wunder um und herum und in uns selbst verborgen. Es lohnt sich nach dem richtigen Licht und den richtigen Blickwinkel zu suchen, um so viele von Ihnen wie möglich zu entdecken.
