Sant’Elia is a small fraction of the municipality of Santa Flavia, in the province of Palermo.
The inhabited center, founded around the seventeenth century, located largely on a promontory overlooking the sea, was initially born as a fishing village dependent on an ancient trap.

Happy Macro Monday!
Just remember, during the winter, far beneath the bitter snow, that there's a seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes a rose.

REPOST ... OCT 26/14
Going through some older Flickr posts and decided to bring this one forward. I think it's my most favourite flower shot. Pin Cushion Protea .... I bought these from a flower stand outside a home on the slopes of Mount Haleakala, Maui.
Commercial Fishing Vessels at rest.
Last light of the day
Steveston is an ever so romantic fishing village that is situated in Richmond BC, on the Mighty Fraser River

Definitely one of British Columbia's best kept secrets.

Yellow-rumped warbler on Cholla Cactus skeleton
Although genetically distinct, there is no plan to split Yellow-rumped warbler in to 3 or more species. In the USA we have Myrtle and Audubon's warblers and in Central America there is Goldman's and a few others. However, they are all still yellow-rumped warblers.

I drove down to the Willow's beach the other day and sat on this log for awhile. It was most relaxing and enjoyable. I don't go to the beach anywhere near enough. I'll have to do this more often. I hope everyone has a great day tomorrow. 😃
This day was lots of rain and overcast sky's in the desert. This was a tough shot to get in focus, hand held @ 1/160 w the big rig.

Although it has been fairly dry for the last couple of weeks, the rains of a month ago are still filtering through the ground. As a result, Missouri's springs are flowing with unusual force. This is a side branch of Turner's Spring, flowing down to join the main output.

A male Anna's Hummingbird in our grapefruit tree. It's a great place he can watch the feeders and chase off others who come to feed. With a dozen or more hummingbirds in our yard and 4 feeders, there's a lot of chasing going on. I thought this guy's gorget looked rather metallic at this angle. If you look at my other post today, you can see one of the feeders on a shepherd's hook behind Jasper and the grapefruit tree behind that where this guy is sitting.

It's a busy week again for me and I have close to no time for photpgraphy and so I post a photo of Filou taken last week when I worked in the garden and the cats joined me. He looked pensive because his cousin Tofu had climbed over the fence into the neighbour's garden. Tofu had chosen a route where the fence is rather high and Filou couldn't follow him there because he is an even worse climber than Tofu. :)

A Lawrences's Warbler at Colchester Pond, Vermont
"If warblers are the jewels of North American songbirds, then the Lawrence's Warbler is one rare and beautiful gem. Not only is it rare in numbers of birds observed but also in terms of its origin. This bird does not rise to full species level but is a hybrid of two recognized species, the Golden-winged Warbler (Vermivora chrysoptera) and the Blue-winged Warbler (Vermivora cyanoptera).
Many if not most hybrids of birds are thought to be infertile. However, there is an established history of fertile hybrid offspring of the mating of the Golden-winged and Blue-winged Warblers. The offspring can take one of two stereotypical forms known as Brewster's Warbler and Lawrence's Warbler. There are a number of plumage variations between these two classic types. When first discovered, the Brewster's Warbler ("Vermivora Zeucobronchialis") and the Lawrence's Warbler ("Vermivora lawrencei") were considered new species. But around 1880, William Brewster concluded that these two were in fact hybrids between the Golden-winged and Blue-winged warblers.
The Brewster's is the more commonly occurring hybrid with dominant genes while the Lawrence's is rare due to the fact that the genes that produce the plumage pattern for this hybrid are recessive and their proper combination occurs infrequently. John T. Nichols of the American Museum of Natural History worked out the initial Mendelian model for the inheritance pattern for these hybrids which was later refined by Kenneth C. Parks.
