J'étais venu à la rencontre des chevaux Henson ... Ce poulain de poney Shetland m'a tapé dans l'oeil... Il a six jours, sa démarche est aléatoire...
I came for Hanson horses... I met this baby...
When it rains I share my umbrella. If I have no umbrella, I share the rain......

After I do not know how many days now I can sit here at the computer. Surely I missed many of your works, I'm sorry ...
I wanted to thank all my flickr friends for their greetings, wishes, comments and invitations to my previous images. Slowly I will return to my rhythm here until the end of the holidays ...
A year is ending and a new year approaches.
I wish everyone a peaceful holiday season and a New Year full of creativity and satisfaction, health, love, work etc ....
in short, as you say, "All the Best" !! :)

DSCN6917-003
Le Combattant varié présente un dimorphisme sexuel extrême et les ornements du mâle diffèrent d’un individu à l’autre au niveau de la couleur et des dessins.
En plumage nuptial, le mâle a le bas du dos et la queue barrés de noir. Le manteau et les scapulaires varient du noir au brun, en passant par chamois, châtain, ocre et blanc. Les parties inférieures sont plutôt sombres, excepté le bas de l’abdomen, le dessous des ailes et les sous-caudales qui sont blancs.
Sur la tête, les oreillons et la collerette varient beaucoup en couleur, allant du chamois ou châtain au violet noirâtre, noir ou blanc, souvent avec des dessins barrés ou mouchetés.
Le bec est brun ou orange terne. Les yeux sont brun foncé. Les pattes et les doigts sont jaune verdâtre ou orange foncé. Les petites caroncules verruqueuses de la face varient et peuvent être verdâtres, jaunâtres, orangées, rougeâtre ou brunes.
Au moment des parades, les mâles observent une hiérarchie dictée par les couleurs des plumes ornementales. Les mâles « résidents » ou « indépendants » ont le plumage plus foncé, en particulier les oreillons et la collerette, tandis que les mâles « satellites » sont légèrement plus petits et ont généralement la collerette et les oreillons clairs ou blancs.
Ces plumes ornementales sont visibles pendant une durée relativement courte, en général d’avril à juin. En dehors de cette période, le mâle ressemble à la femelle au niveau de la silhouette et de la couleur du plumage, mais il est nettement plus grand.
Le Combattant est une espèce dont la reproduction est atypique chez les limicoles, ne donnant pas lieu à la formation
de couples. Les mâles se rassemblent sur des places de parade (appelées leks) où ils se livrent à des simulacres de
combats afin d’attirer les femelles. Certains mâles présents sur ces arènes pourront se reproduire avec plusieurs
femelles, d’autres ne trouvant jamais de partenaire. Les femelles, quant à elles, pourront fréquenter plusieurs arènes
et s’accoupler avec plusieurs mâles.
Les femelles nichent solitairement jusqu’à plusieurs kilomètres des arènes. Les œufs sont déposés dans une cuvette
grattée dans le sol, garnie de quelques végétaux et bien dissimulée dans la végétation. La période de ponte s’étale de
début avril à fin juin . Les quatre œufs, brun-olive tachetés de noir, sont incubés par la femelle durant trois
semaines. Les poussins, nidifuges, peuvent être abandonnés par la femelle après seulement 10 à 15 jours. Ils sont
aptes au vol au bout de quatre semaines. La femelle n’élève pas plus d’une nichée par an. La maturité sexuelle est
atteinte parfois dès un an et plus généralement à deux ans chez les femelles, les mâles se reproduisant rarement avant
deux ans.
Le baguage des jeunes oiseaux a permis de montrer l’absence de philopatrie. Le « brassage » génétique qui en résulte
peut expliquer l’absence de sous-espèce et même de population biogéographique chez cette espèce dont l’aire de
reproduction est pourtant très vaste.
La longévité maximale observée grâce aux données de baguage est d’environ 13 ans
33203 climbs away from Salisbury on Christmas Eve 1986 with the 0650 Waterloo to Exeter St Davids service.
In October 1986 I had bought my first SLR camera and two months later, putting it politely, I was still very much getting to grips with it.
On Christmas Eve I was aimed to capture some images of class 33s and 50s at Salisbury, which operated virtually all passenger trains at Salisbury then.
What I hadn't bothered with was the weather forecast, which combined the saying 'red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning' and the photographer's saying of 'f4 at a fortnight'. A heavy overnight frost was about to be obliterated by a blanket of cloud rolling in from the west.
Out I trotted and this photograph was the closest I came to any sun on a train that day. Everything else was hopelessly composed, dark or speed-blurred, or sometimes all three.
However, 34 years on, it is now clear the day wasn't a complete write-off: this image has reacted well to the wonders of today's photo-processing, and a reasonable image has finally appeared, 34 years after I took the original photograph.
After the small orchids presented in my last uploads, I now present to you an exuberant flower of Brazilian origin, and know as Bráunia, Rosa da mata, Rosa da montanha, Chapéu de sol (see the names in english below).
Although quite large (the ones I photographed here are approximately from 15 to 20cm in diameter), they were also difficult to photograph properly because they are hanging on the branches, wrapped in the shadow of numerous leaves, therefore with low light.
.Scientific name: Brownea grandiceps
.Family: Fabaceae, Caesalpinioideae.
.Popular Names: Rose of the jungle, Brownea, Mountain's Rose, Sun Hat
.Origin: The species is native to Brazil, but not endemic, being also recorded in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela and Bolivia. Its occurrence in Brazilian lands was officially registered in Amazonas, Pará, Federal District and Rio de Janeiro. Possibly it is also present in other states, a fact that can only be confirmed by more comprehensive botanical studies.
.Average height: 6-8m in cultivation, 10-20m in the forest.
.Morphological characteristics: They have large leaves and, when young, have a pinkish-purple color, turning green when adults.
The inflorescences are showy, large and composed of several dense flowers in the form of pendant balls, which appear at the end of the branches; the color of the flowers can vary from orange to red.
Very ornamental tree due to the beauty of its flowering, which especially attracts hummingbirds. The wood can be used to make crates. The flowers are used in traditional medicine as an anti-hemorrhagic, property already partially confirmed by scientific studies.

An old house that has been beautifully restored, the abbey of which parts have been ruined and others survived time, some signs of modern times, all in harmony in Malmesbury!

brought to me yesterday evening by my Timmy :-) He always let her run for a moment in the living room and then caught her again. I was able to catch her with a glass and of course she was quickly snapped before I let her out in front of the house :-) Hopefully I didn't hurt her tail with the glass.
I locked Timmy in the living room for this time. He then looked disappointed that I didn't properly appreciate his gift. He had probably thought that we could chase the mouse together in the living room ;-)
Because of good behavior during the holidays, Benny gets a present from Mummy Marian.
ME:
Benny?
I have something for you
BENNY:
Wow....a present....for me?????
ME:
Yes Benny..it's just for you
Because you've been so sweet during the holidays.
I know it is very difficult for you to share something when it comes to something delicious. I've seen you can do it and I'm proud of you. So this is all for you... just open the package.
Benny tears off the paper:
BENNY:
WOW!!! Mummy! That's a big one! It has more than 3 layers!
Thank you Mummy.....I love you so much!!!!
May I also give Jago a piece?
ME:
You decide Benny...it's your pastry!
BENNY:
I love Jago very much...he is my best friend and that's why he gets half of the pastry.
ME:
Well Benny...that's really nice of you.
I think Jago likes it too
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

I had to go out and look for this present of a Snowy Owl for several hours in various farm lands north of Toronto. At the end it was a nice present. It was a gorgeous sunny day, so I decided to drive around in search for one. I found four; however, they were all sitting in the middle of farm lands far from the roads. I knew that I was in for a long wait. Then around 3:20 PM I found this juvenile sitting on a road-side hydro pole for 15 minutes and then taking off to sit on another field. I took my eyes off for a sec just when she took off; by the time I lifted my camera up she was already moving away from me. When I left, the other three were still sitting in the field. I guess, being young, this one couldn't sit still for too long. My first Snowy sighting of the season. They are such a gorgeous bird. Recent research shows that their number has declined by 60% between 1970 and now. What a shame it will be if this bird goes out the Dodo way. Sunnidale, Ontario.
The Wild flowers of today take over the remains of the past and as the sun shines through the empty windows, the stories of the past remain in the shadows.

Esta foto es porque estoy esperando mi regalo/presente!!

The Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society founded in 1833, "to promote the useful and fine arts, to encourage industry, and to elicit the ingenuity of a community distinguished for its mechanical skill". I have to say, the main entrance is a lot nicer looking......
I'm very grateful for all your visits and would like to thank you now for stopping by, and any comments you may leave. Much appreciated, John...
