In the rear gardens of Blenheim Palace. Blenheim Palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located close to Oxford. Besides an enormous palace built in the 1700s, the grounds includes immaculate and extensive gardens. Blenheim Palace is also the birthplace of Winston Churchill.
Cape May Warbler - from a trip we did to Quebec City a couple of springs ago.
Stayed in Mount Ste Anne almost directly across from Cap Tourmente National Wildlife Area
A highly recommended park for seeing snow geese as well as many spring migrants such as this warbler.
Recommend to view this Large On Black. Thank you.

Park Pavillion Tea house, Greenwich park.We will be away from Flickr for the weekend, catch up with you all next week, have a good one.
Who can resist an old abandoned building ? Despite the obvious state of neglect, the beautiful colours and reflections demanded that I get the camera out.

Just because it's Halloween and make you smile !
I change the small photo and instead of my beloved Puffins I put a photo of me and another one of an Arctic Tern. Both apparently have nothing to do with each other. Except that it is ! On my face the blood is real blood, most had been wiped off by the friend who took the photo. This one was taken on the Isle of May in July 2019. You should know that these Terns nest along the footpath that starts at the pier. These birds, to protect their nests, attack with their beaks the top of the visitor's heads who pass in the path.
They first target the tallest people in a group. This is the reason why it is recommended to wear a hat. For my Scottish and English Flickr's friends who know these Isles (not only on the May), I precise that I did wear a hat. It was my third visit to the Isle of May and since the first time I wore a hat !
It was time to join the boat to return to Anstruther but I noticed two or three visitors behind me so I told to myself I had enough time for a few more shots. Being alone in front of this bird I was the tallest and the other Terns had a great time on my head. As the head was busy, one of them attacked me UNDER the hat !! So, if I have an advice : next time go with a full face helmet š
For my readers from the U.K. please let me know if I wrote something wrong š

Juste parce que c'est Halloween et pour vous faire sourire !
J'ai changĆ© la photo du mĆ©daillon et, a la place de mes Macareux moine bien aimĆ©s, j'ai mis une photo de moi et une photo de Sterne Arctique dans mes images. Apparemment, ces deux photos n'ont rien a voir ensemble. Sauf que si ! Sur mon visage, c'est du vrai sang, la plus grande partie qui recouvrait ma joue ayant Ć©tĆ© essuyĆ©e par l'amie qui a pris la photo. Celle-Ƨi a Ć©tĆ© prise sur l'Ile de May, en juillet 2019. Ces Sternes nichent en bordure du sentier piĆ©ton qui part de l'embarcadĆØre. Ces oiseaux, pour protĆ©ger leur nids, piquent le sommet des tĆŖtes des visiteurs. Ces Sternes visent en premier les personnes les plus grandes du groupe. C'est la raison pour laquelle il est fortement recommandĆ© de porter un couvre-chef. Pour mes amis Flickr Ecossais et Anglais qui connaisent ces iles (pas seulement sur l'Ile de May d'ailleurs), je prĆ©cise que je portais un chapeau. C'Ć©tait ma troisiĆØme visite sur cette Ć®le et depuis la premiĆØre fois j'ai toujours portĆ© un chapeau !
Le moment Ć©tait venu de rejoindre le bateau mais comme j'avais remarquĆ© deux ou trois personnes qui traĆ®naient derriĆØre moi, je me suis dit que j'avais suffisamment de temps pour quelques photos supplĆ©mentaires. Etant seule devant cet oiseau, je me suis retrouvĆ©e ĆŖtre la plus grande et les autres Sternes s'en sont donnĆ© Ć coeur joie sur ma tĆŖte ! Comme cette derniĆØre Ć©tait occupĆ©e, l'une d'elles m'a piquĆ© SOUS mon chapeau ! Aussi, si j'ai un conseil : la prochaine fois, y aller avec un casque intĆ©gral š
This is a road I often recommend to our guests but few seem to take me up on my suggestion. It's the B8043 to Kingairloch. Perhaps it is too intimidating for most. It's home to mountain goats, deer, otters and a new pair of sea eagles amongst other wildlife. The local farmer might not be happy I said that
VisiĆ³n en monocromo desde el observatorio del rascacielos One World Trade Center (Manhattan - New York). La imagen estĆ” capturada al atardecer, trĆ”s los cristales de los grandes ventanales (MĆ”s de cuatro metros de techo a ras de suelo) y a una altura de 417 metros (La del mirador). En la imagen puede verse gran parte del famoso barrio TriBeCa y parte del Financial Distrit, el Civic Center (Barrio que alberga edificios pĆŗblicos y los Palacios de Justicia) y los icĆ³nicos puentes de Brooklyn y Manhattan.
En la parte inferior derecha de la foto se ve algĆŗn reflejo parasito en el ventanal que no pude evitar por el Ć”ngulo de picado del objetivo y por mucho que me arrimĆ© al cristal (pegado a el)...pero es casi inapreciable para el conjunto de la fotografĆa...por cierto, tal que hice la foto tenĆa una visiĆ³n hacia abajo vertiginosa, no apta para quiĆ©n huya de las alturas :)

When I met Michelle Zauner, lead singer of Japanese Breakfast, and autobiographical Crying in H Mart for this portrait, she was funny and sweet and I didn't know even a tenth of the multitudes she contains at that time. I'd recommend both her music and her autobiography, which gets into her relationship with her mom and her Korean identity and it also lays bare the process of grieving she goes through as her mom dies from Cancer. Zauner is honest and strong and an amazing human. I feel so honored I was able to take this portrait photo of her!
Her new album Jubilee was released June 4th!

I was amazed of the huge, I mean very huge LCD monitor in The Village as shown in my previous upload, but I was more amazed, I mean, astonished of the gigantic LCD that The Place has. There are two, four storey shopping malls beneath two office towers. A huge skyscreen links the two malls. The screen itself is a massive 4800 square meters! At night this screen is an amazing diversion for shoppers and a reflection of Beijingās determination to show off its modern capabilities when it hosted the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Onscreen is the aerial view of the legendary Great Wall of China.
Recommend viewing large the details there in the eyes is amazing to see. This was one little golden fly among the remaining raindrops
Highly recommending "It's What I Do" by war photographer Lynsey Addario. Truly one of the most riveting memoirs I've ever read.

ALL my photos..... .in small!
Recommend zooming in for a better view!
They are graceful, swift and powerful. F1 cars have nothing on this bird!
Still practicing panning the bird as it enters and departs the water hence my flipping between shutter, manual and auto mode.
Will be off and on a bit over the next week. Take good care... I'm grateful for your visit and comments!!
Be well!
Recommend using zoom for this one.
I believe this is a parent to two young adults that now have their white feathers. This one was watching two others as they sat on lower limbs of trees. I watched him soar over the mouth of a lake while driving home through Bristol Mills. Wonderful way to end the day:)
