Hier, je suis resté 4 heures pour assister à cette belle scène de vie animalière que j'affectionne particulièrement car ce sont des oiseaux que j'aime beaucoup observer à distance..!!
Les grèbes se relaient sur le nid et le consolide...
Il y a quatre oeufs ....
Il faudra attendre la naissance des grèbes huppés.....
C'est la première couvée de ces grèbes huppés.
J'espère assister aux naissances.
Le Grèbe huppé niche entre avril et juillet.
À cette époque, les adultes portent une double huppe et des oreillettes brunes encadrant la tête.
Le nid peut reposer sur un fond vaseux mais il est conçu en principe pour affleurer la surface.
Il peut également flotter mais il est alors arrimé à une souche ou à un paquet de végétaux entremêlés.
Les adultes en garnissent la coupe peu profonde de végétaux qui servent à recouvrir les œufs si les adultes s'absentent du nid. La ponte est composée de 3 à 6 œufs blancs qui virent ensuite au brun et deviennent de ce fait plus discrets.
Les adultes couvent en se relayant toutes les quelques heures. L'éclosion intervient au bout de 28 jours.
Les jeunes sont capables de nager aussitôt mais ils restent dépendants de leurs parents plusieurs semaines.
Un grand merci à toutes et tous pour vos visites et vos commentaires qui sont toujours très appréciés.

Yesterday, I stayed 4 hours to attend this beautiful scene of animal life that I particularly like because they are birds that I really like to observe from a distance..!!
The grebes take turns on the nest and consolidate it...
There are four eggs...
We will have to wait for the birth of the great crested grebes.....
This is the first brood of these great crested grebes.
I hope to attend the births.
The Great Crested Grebe nests between April and July.
At this time, adults wear a double crest and brown ear flaps framing their heads.
The nest can rest on a muddy bottom but it is designed in principle to be flush with the surface.
It can also float but it is then secured to a stump or a bundle of intertwined plants.
The adults fill the shallow cup with plants which are used to cover the eggs if the adults are absent from the nest. The laying is composed of 3 to 6 white eggs which then turn brown and therefore become more discreet.
Adults brood taking turns every few hours. Hatching occurs after 28 days.
The young are able to swim immediately but they remain dependent on their parents for several weeks.
A big thank you to all of you for your visits and your comments which are always very much appreciated.
should not have the courage to do right in some future case. Every public action which is not customary, either is wrong, or, if it is right, is a dangerous precedent. It follows that nothing should ever be done for the first time :-)

The pleasure principle is the driving force of the id that seeks immediate gratification of all needs, wants and urges. In other words, the pleasure principle strives to fulfill our most basic and primitive urges, including hunger, thirst, anger, and sex.
Construction of the station began in the spring of 1933, simultaneously with work on the Moscow-Volga canal, and lasted four years and eight months. The building itself and the adjacent berths and the cargo port were built on a dry place, before the reservoir was filled [2]. Khimki river station became at that time the twelfth station in Moscow [3], however, the builders had no previous experience in creating stations of this scale. The principle of the station building with a central tower and a spire became a model for the construction of a number of river stations, which subsequently appeared, for example, in Krasnoyarsk and Nizhny Novgorod [4].

Le Grèbe huppé niche entre avril et juillet. À cette époque, les adultes portent une double huppe et des oreillettes brunes encadrant la tête. Lors de la parade nuptiale complexe, le mâle et la femelle se font face et dressent le cou. Il nagent de concert, se frottent le cou tout en émettant des cris sonores, plongent puis réapparaissent, l'un des deux présentant des algues à l'autre. Le couple s'immobilise, poitrine contre poitrine, et chaque oiseau tourne la tête d'un côté puis de l'autre. Ce manège peut se perpétuer même lorsque les grèbes sont occupés à la construction du nid. Ce dernier est constitué principalement d'algues . Il peut reposer sur un fond vaseux mais il est conçu en principe pour affleurer la surface. Il peut également flotter mais il est alors arrimé à une souche ou à un paquet de végétaux entremêlés. Les adultes en garnissent la coupe peu profonde de végétaux qui servent à recouvrir les œufs si les adultes s'absentent du nid.

The Great Crested Grebe nestles between April and July. At this time, adults wear a double crest and brown atria framing the head. During the complex courtship, the male and the female face each other and raise the neck. They swim together, rub their necks while emitting loud cries, dive and then reappear, one of them having algae to another. The couple stands still, chest to chest, and each bird turns its head on one side then the other. This ride can continue even when grebes are busy building the nest. The latter consists mainly of algae. It can rest on a muddy bottom but it is designed in principle to be flush with the surface. It can also float but is then stowed to a stump or a bundle of plants intermingled. Adults fill the shallow cut of plants that cover the eggs if adults are absent from the nest. The egg is composed of 3 to 6 white eggs which turn brown then become more discreet. Adult convent by taking turns every few hours. The hatching occurs after 28 days. The young are able to swim immediately but remain dependent on their parents for several weeks.

. . . Looking at this Snowy Owl's right wing (on the top), I could not help but notice it's curved shape on the top side. This allows air to move faster on that side, and reduces the pressure there, allowing for lift, much like an airplane wing's shape. I know some former students of mine are groaning big time right now, but you cannot take the physics out of the teacher!
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
By principle, I do not want to feed birds my myself to make them come for photo shots, because I dont want to change their behaviour ..
Yet I have to admit that it is much easier to get decent bird pics close to feeders than anywhere else ..

Great Ocean Road Series
Part of the Twelve Apostles at the Great Ocean Road - Victoria, Australia.
I'm so glad I got to see this beautiful area last November - no idea when all the travel restrictions will be lifted.
Be safe everybody and do the right thing by staying HOME.
~~~ Thank you all for viewing, kind comments, favs and awards - much appreciated! ~~~
A simple picture of an Egyptian Vulture ... or is it ?
Yes it is an Egyptian Vulture at the Hawk Conservancy Andover.
But in photographic terms is is very difficult to get the eye and the beak both in focus on a bird looking straight at you. Plus this was taken in an aviary so you have to be at f4 to 'lose the mesh', so even less depth of focus.
This is two photographs one focused on the eye, and one on the beak. Then Focus Stacked with Photoshop. It has to be a very cooperative bird that does not move or react to the noise of the camera.
Simple.

This is Tyrone Singleton, principle of the Brirmingham Royal Ballet, performing Beauty and the Beast.

The principle labour of the Christian is to believe that divine love is the breadth and length and height and depth, and that there is simply nothing above, below or beyond it. It is our home; it enfolds us and is our utmost security both in this life and in death and beyond.

I guess I am into minimalism this week......not sure why exactly.
Here I get to indulge in minimal, texture and my square addiction all at the same time!
Texture: mine
:~)
I am not sure if this is balanced or not.....sigh
This is Delia Mathews, principle of the Birmingham Royal Ballet, performing Beauty and the Beast.

With so much uncertainty in the world, it was a privilege to capture such amazing talent and beauty.
Saint Barbara's Church is a Roman Catholic church in Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic, and a stunning piece of architecture. Among the many things that makes it special is its wonderful roof. Tried a slightly different approach for the interior this time around. Following the principle of "photographing things for what they are, and for what else they are" the beautiful ceiling vault reminded me of a prawn, too.
Vital principle is ascribed to a hypothetical force to which the functions and qualities peculiar to living matter are needed. Just like we need air to breathe, food to eat and shelter we also need water. In this case the water we need is the Great Salt Lake. Without we will no longer have a hospitibital environment to live in.
After watching this two slightly immature eagles fight over this stump space I think I can say that, like the quantum mechanical Pauli exclusion principle, this proves that two eagles cannot occupy the same space on a stump simultaneously. Of course this violates the Schrodinger's cat thought experiment that tries to illustrate the absurdity of applying quantum theory to the macro-physical world, but hey, even that appears to be in question these days...

Bulls*** Asymmetry Principle
The amount of energy needed to refute bulls*** is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.
Also known as Brandolini’s Law, the Bulls*** Asymmetry Principle captures a circumstance we’ve all experienced. Those with an indifference to the truth are at an advantage. An argument is easily made. But dissecting a claim and verifying propositions and evidence is tiresome. And what if it’s part of the bulls****er’s plan to keep us busy refuting his nonsense?
I share the above principle, created in 2013 as a segway into this photograph. It is from my archives and was taken on 07 October, 2018 in Silver Glen on the docks of The Juniper Club.
As a tradition, I pass on photographing blue herons as they have become like robins…they are everywhere and way too easily photographed! In this case, a large pickerel looking to be near death swam slowly just below the docks. The heron stabbed it, snatched it up, walked it over to the grass behind the dock and proceeded to try and swallow it. As I sat in my chair fishing, I lifted my camera that unfortunately had my 600mm on it, deciding to capture its attempt to swallow the fish whole. This shot is not cropped vertically, it was all I could get without getting up and walking away.
Watching as it lifted it, I did some “Fancy Cyphering” (Jethro Bodine reference) and realized that the length of the fish was greater than the length of the heron body (minus tail feathers) and if swallowed, some of the fish’s tail would surely be in the heron’s neck. Not to mention the girth of the fish. I sat my camera back down to watch the action. The heron rocked the pickerel back and forth a few times building momentum, then with what seemed to be all the strength it had, while maintaining this grip, swung the fish high in the air and swallowed it with ease!
I watched in amazement as the large lump in its throat quickly slid out of sight and into its stomach! My mind quickly spun back into fancy cyphering mode as I tried to guess the weight of the bird* vs the weight of the fish…and if it would be able to fly now with that heavy a load of cargo?
*I just googled the average weight of a blue heron. It can range from roughly 4-8lbs. Let's call this one 6lbs…the fish was certainly in the 4-5lb range…that is a huge get for this hunter!
It continued to stand around for a few minutes until I decided to change locations. Once I got up, it swatted down for takeoff, pushed off the dock into the air. Remarkably, the weight of its meal didn’t seem to slow it down a bit.
Had I not seen “the swallow” for myself, I might have thrown the BS card on someone else telling this tale!
In principle, with this, I mean any kind of intimacy, but I think each of you can imagine what this two kingfishers are doing right now ;-)))
In many other photos there is too much to see from this perspective, even for me ;-))) So I chose this one!

Have a wonderful new week!
Minimalists such as Flavin, Carl Andre, Donald Judd and Sol LeWitt explored abstraction through reductive, repeated and monochromatic forms in the early 1960s. Flavin’s distinctive medium consisted of white or coloured florescent tubes and the light and shadows they create. In this, perhaps his most iconic work, he used the minimum number of ordinary fixtures necessary to establish a series. The title pays tribute to William of Ockham, the fourteenth-century philosopher who developed the philosophical principle kno0wn as “Ockham’s Razor”: “it is vain to do with more what can be done with fewer.”

Whether you're for or against nuclear power, the people voted the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station closed in 1989. You can peruse information on the links below to find out why.
We lived fairly-close to it in the 70's and I recall the place in the news often enough, while growing up in a city about 65 miles away---closer, as a radioactive steam cloud flies.
Anyway, with the third worst nearly-catastrophic incident in the nation's history occurring there and seeing what can happen after Chernobyl, I am glad the place is now mostly just the two, big cooling towers. Built during the first phase of construction in 1966, they are what one sees for miles around the prairies southeast of Sacramento, California.
The area around the old station is a park now. It's a good one, too. After checking things on google earth, I thought I'd go there with the camera.
Thanks for your time and support!

My attempt at the "Crazy Tuesday" theme "Childhood Memories".
I remember playing with the wooden Brio trains and tracks a lot, as a child. Now 30+ years later my kids do the same. There's a bit more plastic involved now, and also some electric parts (which admittedly are pretty cool though because you can steer the train via an app), but overall it's the same principle. Lots of fun.

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
It’s funny.
That it takes losing things you love.
To realize that you loved them.
And to realize that you shouldn’t.
Because there is something better, more beautiful, more constant to put your hope in.
Nothing in this world is constant.
But I believe there is more than this world. . .
