Large heron with rusty head and streaky neck; juvenile is extensively rusty brown on upperparts. Favors fresh marshes with tall reeds and other vegetation. Often more retiring than Gray Heron and rarely seen in open situations. Only likely to be confused with larger and bulkier Gray Heron, which is paler and grayer overall, with a stouter bill. (eBird)

This was the most active Purple Heron we saw in Singapore. Striding down the hill towards to the pond, it was obviously intent on finding a snack. Most of the others that we saw were pretending to be statues.

I am retiring as a blogger on September 6.
I started as a blogger 6 years ago when I received an offer from Flor Held, the blogger manager at Mon Chéri.
I still feel very honored and very grateful.
Since then I have applied to be a blogger for other stores and happily received multiple offers to be a blogger.
Bloggers have to take pictures to promote their products and make them look better.
Of course I tried to do that, but I also had a lot of conflicts because I was very particular about "taking pictures that look like me.
I still wonder if I was able to make the products look better.
But I definitely had fun!
And although I am Japanese, my sponsors were foreign stores and events, with the exception of a few event sponsors. I am not very good at English, but still, I am happy to have more opportunities to interact with people from overseas and use English, which I think is a typical SL thing to do.
I have received offers to be featured in magazines and have had the opportunity to interact with some wonderful photographers.
I am very grateful for the many sponsored stores and events. I am also grateful for all the support I have received.
I will continue to enjoy shooting and updating my Flickr.
Thank you so much.
私は9月6日にブロガーを引退します。
私は6年前にMon ChériのブロガーマネージャーのFlor Heldからのオファーを受けブロガーを始めました。
今でもとても光栄なことだととても感謝しています。
それからは他のショップのブロガーに応募したり、うれしいことに複数のオファーを受けてブロガーとして活動してきました。
ブロガーは商品の宣伝のために商品がより良く映るように撮影をしなければいけません。
もちろん私はそれを心掛けていましたが「自分らしいSSを撮る」ことにもこだわりがあり多くの葛藤がありました。
はたして私はより良く商品を魅せることが出来ていたのか、いまだに疑問が残ります。
しかし私は楽しんでいたことは間違いありません！
そして私は日本人ですが、私のスポンサーはイベントスポンサーの一部を除いて海外のショップやイベントでした。私は英語が不得意ですがそれでも海外の方と交流し英語を使う機会が多くなったことは嬉しいことで、SLらしいことではないかと思います。
私がブロガーとして活動する中で、雑誌掲載のオファーをいただいたり、素晴らしいフォトグラファーの方々と交流することが出来たことも私にとって宝です。
多くのスポンサーのショップやイベントにはとても感謝しています。応援して下さった方々にも感謝しています。
私はこれからも撮影を楽しみFlickrを更新し続けます。
本当にありがとうございました。
Not sure if this was an older male but it had white feathering around its beak and eye not noticed before??
Nice to see these beautiful finches close up and out in the open rather than skulking in the hedges. They are extremely shy and retiring so very happy to get shots of these in the beautiful Autumn sunshine .

This was the female of female that was accompanying the previous male bully I have put on here.
Nice to see these beautiful finches close up and out in the open rather than skulking in the hedges. They are extremely shy and retiring so very happy to get shots of this bird perched out in the open on a lichen covered branch. Was fortunate that the floor was covered in snow and really enhanced the colour of the bird taking away the shadows on the plumage

Retiring and watching a part of me fade away. Watching what has made me into an adult fade away. Looking at myself saying that chapter is over, but hopeful for the next chapter. We've got this.
Taken @ Sunny's Photo Studio Using the Homies Pose
Fairly common, but often retiring, in tropical lowlands of both drier and more humid areas. Occurs across much of South America, from Colombia to Argentina. Can be found from sea level to around 1,500 m elevation. Favors forest edge, second growth thickets, hedges, and tangles, especially with morning glory flowers, which it munches quietly. Note plain bluish-gray coloration with warm tawny vent and short white eyebrow. Immature looks slightly different, with a yellowish wash to the face and upperparts. Listen for sweet song with slurred whistles. (eBird)

This great tanager came to the lodge's feeding station, providing us with great looks at a usually skulky bird.

I know not another 1 but its a blackcap.Taken years but finally a male out of the shrubs.
The blackcap is a distinctive greyish warbler, the male has a black cap, and the female a chestnut one. Its delightful fluting song has earned it the name 'northern nightingale'. Although primarily a summer visitor birds from Germany and north-east Europe are increasingly spending the winter in the UK.

... not! This is another Osteospermum flower from my garden and very different from the last one I posted. All of the Osteospermum plants, after seeming to fade, have come back to life and are flowering profusely again. I believe this variety is called 'Whirligig' and it's pretty wild. :)
Before retiring, I lived in the city of Surgut, northern Siberia. With real winter and real frost. Now I live in the south of Russia, where it rarely snows, and even in winter, sometimes the temperature is above zero Celsius. Recently, I was looking through photos taken in Surgut in winter. Today I'm posting photos from 2005.
This shy and retiring barn blushed bright red when I said I wanted to take its picture. I don’t think anyone has been using it recently.

Charles, the Prince of Wales and future King of England, wrote an influential book called "Harmony". In it he outlined his vision for a balanced way of life, being completely sensitive to the requirements of a sustainable environment, and also maintaining a productive life. This is a vision worth striving for. Balance and harmony are two words that we desperately need to rediscover in our fractured world.
After retiring from the Australian senate in 2012, Dr Bob Brown decided to gift "Oura Oura" to the Australian people. He did this through entrusting it to the care of Bush Heritage Australia.
Bush Heritage Australia is an independent not-for-profit that buys and manages land, and also partners with Aboriginal people, to conserve our magnificent landscapes and irreplaceable native species forever.
Nature, harmony and a balanced lifestyle. That's what we need today.
My sunflowers came and went so quickly this year. This is one that was in the process of opening up.
Lightened slightly
Much better large please xx
I had been observing this Buck defend a sizeable Harem of Doe all afternoon with quite a few rutting rounds. He was well rewarded with the female attention he got by holding off the competition. A slow autumnal amble back to the woods for a rest was certainly on the cards ( until next year ).
Built by GE as Conrail C40-8W 6060, Norfolk Southern 8319 was still wearing Conrail paint as it led a westbound intermodal past the Amtrak depot in Hammond-Whiting on an overcast day in 2004.
NS ran the Dash Eight into the ground before retiring it and selling it to Progress Rail in 2020.
I thought I’d name my children after you
We’d live in a house on Mermaid Avenue
And we’d drink champagne and admire the view
The last thing I’d say before sleeping is, “I love you”

Normally shy and retiring this bird has spent the winter in an urban park in North Tyneside.
Despite having only a few square metres of reeds to hide in it still took three visits for it to show for me, the last visit just before the virus lockdowns there was some fantastic late afternoon sunshine.
Since retiring I start each day, sitting with a book my pup Leica on my lap and a latte.

This is the lock on a wooden tool box. It's one of the first toolboxes I acquired when I started working as a machinist. An old fellow that was retiring offered to sell it to me at a price I could afford. It was old and shop-worn then as it is even more so now after 40 years in my care. It didn't come with a key so I've never locked it. The image is about 70mm top to bottom. HMM and thank you all for any views, faves and comments.
Mediobogdum Roman Fort on Hardknott Pass in Lake District has some great slightly rebuilt ruins. The light on the evening here was a splendid Sun banquet lighting the way to older notions and even initiation upon ladder of lights that illuminated the ways to become enlightened. It is an amazing location to find history and to enjoy mystery.

My first sighting this year of the very shy and retiring Cuckoo today, out on Dartmoor with grey sky's and not much in the way of sun light, still...managed to come away with a record shot :)

For a week or so, I´ve listened to the acorns falling on the barns metal roof. Sounds like popcorn. Can´t be many left up there now.

The last film I took before 'retiring' from rail photography entailed a trip to the West Country. It had been coming a long time - the previous film I'd exposed on railway 'stuff' was just over 12 months before. Aside from the very occasional trip out for old times sake, the next time I'd seriously use a camera again on the UK network would be 2011, and it would be digital.
For this trip, the weather seemed to reflect the mood although the train, a BRC&W built class 118 3-car suburban DMU, made a spirited enough start from Newton Abbot. Plymouth allocated set P462 was doing the honours, and is signalled for the Paignton line.
In the background the engine shed is still standing although by now disconnected, at least at this end. The rest of the sidings look suspiciously empty, save for what may be a fuel tank wagon.
Just visible at right are the carriages painted in the colours of the David & Charles Publishing Company, who occupied premises around the station at the time and used the carriages for storage purposes. The nearest coach looks like it could be of LNER vintage and, if so, is presumably one of those now restored and in use on the Severn Valley Railway.
The engine shed, carriage and wagon works were eventually demolished and the land adjacent to Torquay Road used for a new Aldi supermarket. Happily the splendid GWR signal gantry survived the inevitable resignalling, and is now installed as a non-working exhibit on Aldi's land for everyone to enjoy and, for those of a certain age, to maybe dream.

Canada is a hostile country for elephants. There is plenty to eat here; people love animals, so that's not the reason. The Elephants (known then as Mammoths) all emigrated to warmer climates of Africa, Thailand or India about 5000 years ago. The Mom's name is Tembo and it is modeled after San Diego Zoo resident. Tembo was used to be a Hollywood actor before retiring to a Zoo. Derrick Hudson completed the sculpture in 2002 commissioned by Lou Odette. Commerce court with all the offices did not see much pedestrian traffic in last 2 years, so the elephants bring some kind of life into the large square. Tembo died relatively young in 2019. The life style of Hollywood stars can be demanding.
