This is the same flower as the one I posted yesterday, but taken at a lower pov and with a different focus. Here the sun is the focus instead of the flower and I filtered it to bring out the sunshine. This might be what my friend Gunta has suggested to be a flowerscape rather than a flower shoot! Which one appeal to you more?
Same area as the latest shots. Four captures blended for the sea motion. It looks like a long single exposure, but the water catches the light in an other way.

As the Vulture flew off folks so do the Hawk, but as I watched him go, all he did was feel safe enough to make a small circle and return to the same perch, just lucky I did not move and hung in there.
Thank you all.
Daisy, always dancing to the same beat
Broken records stuck on repeat, Daisy, you got me
Daisy, don't you know that you're amazing?
Same place but other buildings, as in vintage picture in first comment box.

Immortality
by Lindsay Laurie
Mortal are us human kind
seeking peace with baited breath.
Immortality imparts the mind
to believe there is no death.
Immortality is really history …
writings from the then times wealth.
Replayed in a similar mode
as history repeats itself.
Each tiny fraction of the puzzle,
is ancient generations text,
leads the way to consider
what right now is needed next …
Each year reaches new horizons,
the past has been addressed -
and we live our life believing,
our time is the very best.
And again it's the same place, Podere Belvedere in San Quirico D'orcia, and again it's a different morning and again it looks completely different.
This time I'm a little later here and the sun is already a little higher. It's fascinating how the light changes the landscape.
I think you could spend an entire holiday just here and photograph just this one motif, every day at different times of the day and from different perspectives. A collection of photographs would be created, each of which has a different effect and which, as a whole, contain the beauty of Tuscany as a whole. And for me as a photographer it would not be boring. That reminds me a bit of my favorite tree at home in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. I feel the same about that one.
Of course I didn't do that, because I'm far too rarely here for that (this is my first time). So I'll save my last three versions (yes, there's always more) for later and bring you somewhere else tomorrow.
Und wieder ist es der selbe Ort, Podere Belvedere in San Quirico D'orcia, und wieder ist es ein anderer Morgen und schon sieht es hier wieder ganz anders aus.
Dieses Mal bin ich etwas später hier und die Sonne steht schon ein wenig höher. Es ist faszinierend, wie das Licht die Landschaft verändert.
Ich glaube man könnte einen ganzen Urlaub nur hier verbringen und nur dieses eine Motiv fotografieren, jeden Tag zu unterschiedlichen Tageszeiten und aus unterschiedlichen Perpektiven. Es würde eine Sammlung von Fotografien entstehen von denen jede einzelne eine andere Wirkung entfaltet und die in Ihrer Gänze die Schönheit der gesamten Toskana beinhalten. Und für mich als Fotograf würde es nicht langweilig werden. Das erinnert mich ein bisschen an meinen Lieblingsbaum zu Hause im Elbsandsteingebirge. Bei dem geht es mir genauso.
Natürlich habe ich das nicht gemacht, denn dafür bin ich viel zu selten hier (das ist mein erstes Mal). Darum hebe ich mir meine drei letzten Versionen (ja, es gibt immernoch mehr) für später auf und bringe Euch morgen an einen anderen Ort.

I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
But I don't like illusions
I can't see them clearly
I don't care
No, I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me
Eventually
What you'll do
I don't mind
I don't care
As long as you're here
Go ahead, tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
And do it all over again
It's all the same
Hours slide and days go by
'Til you decide to come
But in-between
It always seems
Too long for certain
But I have the skill
I have the will
To breathe you in while I can
However long you stay is all that I am
I don't mind
I don't care
As long as you're here
Go ahead, tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
And do it all over again
It's always the same
Wrong or right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
It's all the same
In my life
The compromise
I'll close my eyes
It's all the same
Go ahead, say it
You're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are now
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same
Kuznetsky Most is one of the most beautiful pedestrian streets in the historical center of Moscow.
The street got its modern - and at the same time historical - name thanks to the Kuznetsky Bridge across the Neglinnaya River. Today, Kuznetsky Most Street attracts citizens with its high-quality landscaping, an abundance of architectural monuments and an unusual relief: due to the significant difference in heights between Petrovka and Rozhdestvenka, the city landscape looks especially picturesque.
Kuznetskaya Sloboda on the high bank of the Neglinnaya River - Neglinnaya Upper - appeared in the 12th century, but its heyday came only at the end of the 15th, when the Cannon Yard was built in the vicinity, and the Moscow prince Ivan III ordered to settle in it blacksmiths and grooms who served new production. At the turn of the 15th-16th centuries, Novgorod and Pskov were annexed to the Moscow principality, and craftsmen of various professions from these cities were moved to the Neglinny Upper.
In 1737, the street burned out during the Trinity fire, but rather quickly new buildings were built on it, in which foreign shops began to be located. Gradually, the street turned into the abode of foreign trade: the French showed particular zeal, opening fashion and haberdashery shops here, thanks to which Kuznetsky Most became the main shopping street in Moscow. During World War II and the fire of 1812, it practically did not suffer from the fire, since the French guard took over the protection of the business of compatriots. After the war, trade flourished again, and many fashionable shops were opened on it (almost all of them were foreign, most of them were French). The abundance of foreign shops made Kuznetsky Most the most fashionable and aristocratic street in Moscow, which it remained until the 1917 Revolution.
During the Soviet era, the street lost part of the historical buildings, many buildings were rebuilt, and the street gradually took on a modern look.
After the reconstruction carried out in 2012, the Kuznetsky Most section from Bolshaya Dmitrovka to Rozhdestvenka became pedestrian.
Today Kuznetsky Most Street is a well-maintained pedestrian zone, where city holidays and festivals are often held.
Despite the losses of the Soviet years, a large number of architectural monuments have been preserved on it: tenement houses, partially preserved city estates and passages. Among them are famous Moscow sights: the building of the Moscow International Trade Bank, Khomyakov's trading house and others.

HSoS!
How to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you or if your cat adores you or if your cat thinks you're really funny??? It's difficult as you get the same expression.

Same origami rose bud as my previous photo, (see first comment box), but more blooming. You can very easily add small changes and make every rose look different.
This time folded with purple and green foil (7,5x7,5cm). Final size of these two brooches: about 4x4cm.
Added a little bit of oil paint effect. HSS ;-))

"You can miss places.
You can miss people.
Just know that what you're really
missing is the way things were.
And even if you could go there again...
see them again...
you can't go back.
They're not the same.
You're not the same.
The loss of them changed you."

Yellowhammer - Emberiza Citrinella
The yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella) is a passerine bird in the bunting family that is native to Eurasia and has been introduced to New Zealand and Australia. Most European birds remain in the breeding range year-round, but the eastern subspecies is partially migratory, with much of the population wintering further south. The male yellowhammer has a bright yellow head, streaked brown back, chestnut rump and yellow underparts. Other plumages are duller versions of the same pattern. The yellowhammer is common in open areas with some shrubs or trees, and forms small flocks in winter. Its song has a rhythm like "A little bit of bread and no cheese". The song is very similar to that of its closest relative, the pine bunting, with which it interbreeds.
Yellowhammer males learn their songs from their fathers, and over the course of time regional dialects have developed, with minor differences to the conclusion of the basic song; all are mutually recognised by birds from different areas. Each male has an individual repertoire of song variants within its regional dialect; females tend to mate with males that share their dialect, and prefer those with the largest repertoires.
The pine bunting and yellowhammer are so closely related that each responds to the other's song. The male yellowhammer's song is more attractive to females, and is one reason for the dominance of that species where the ranges overlap.
Yellowhammers of the British and Irish race, E. c. caliginosa were introduced to New Zealand by local acclimatisation societies in 1862, and soon spread over the main islands. They sometimes visit New Zealand's subantarctic islands, although rarely staying to breed, and have reached Australia's Lord Howe Island on a number of occasions. At the beginning of the 20th century, this bunting was seen as a serious agricultural pest in its adopted country.
Populations of yellowhammer have also been introduced to the Falkland Islands, and South Africa.
The yellowhammer is a bird of dry open country, preferably with a range of vegetation types and some trees from which to sing. It is absent from urban areas, forests and wetlands. Probably originally found at forest edges and large clearing, it has benefited from traditional agriculture, which created extensive open areas with hedges and clumps of trees.
Populations have declined in recent decades in western Europe, including the British Isles, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria and Italy. The yellowhammer is a red-list (severely declining) species in Ireland and the UK In eastern Europe, numbers appear to be stable, although the trend in Russia is unknown. Changes to agricultural practices are thought to be responsible for reduced breeding densities. The introduced population in New Zealand has been very successful, with breeding densities much higher than in the UK.
At the same place than the cormorant the Heron too got a catfish. Sorry for the IQ but I did it after sunset and so without any light, so their is some movement blur because to limit the ISO I used a slow shutter speed. Then in post processing I have had to brighten the héron and the water.
A la meme place que le cormoran, le héron a attrapé lui aussi un poisson chat. Désolé pour la qualité d'image, mais je l'ai prise après le coucher du soleil, donc sans lumière, donc il y a du flou de mouvement car pour limiter les ISO j'ai utilisé un temps de pose long. Ensuite en post procesing j'ai du ajouter de la lumière pour faire ressortir le héron et l'eau.

My husband shot this patient—or scared-witless—Pacific tree frog using his Nikkor 200mm macro lens and his old Nikon D4.
Same position but different angle than mine—in first comment.
There's room in the world for many different styles and apertures, and Howard and I are at either end of the spectrum. He's an IT Doc and physics guy, and has little close-sighted vision. We make a perfect pair, united in admiration of this tiny frog. Howard took this at 13:58. I took mine at 11:40. Both in shade of back deck.
...as last holidays. Every time since the little pier of Hvidbjerg Strand has been constructed I have to creep under the building to take a shot. It has become almost an obsession. Needless to say that this exercise is more convenient in Summer and times of low tide. Blavand, Jylland, Denmark
Nothing in a society stays the same and that includes the economy. Factories close, people lose their jobs, brands disappear......
One such disappeared icon in the automobile industry was the Belgian top brand "Minerva". which began producing automobiles in 1904.
This brand was named after the Roman goddess Minerva, the goddess of wisdom and arts, and her image adorned every radiator cap on the Minervas as a small work of art.
Many Minervas were soon exported to England with which heads of state and others famous people were transported.
The brand became increasingly popular with the wealthy part of the world's population, and many members of the royal houses of Romania, Thailand and India, among others, drove them.
Over time, the automobiles were also exported to America and Australia and were a huge succes in these countries.
Thus, even the American car manufacturer Henri Ford drove around in a Minerva because of its famous "Sleeve Valva System" of the Minerva's engines.
This engine system was executed without the conventional valve system.
This system made it possible to significantly reduce the excessive noise produced by the conventional engines of the time.
Minerva automobiles were a very formidable competitor to Rolls Royce, Isotta-Franchine, Hispano-Suiza and Duesenburg, the other greats of this period.
However, the great Belgian automobile brand Minerva did not survive the Great economic crisis of 1930 and went bankrupt in 1934.....
The automobile in the photo is the 1921 Minerva 00-Tourer with a Van der Plas bodywork and was very popular with the world's wealthy population and this model was driven privately by Henri Ford.
The engine was equipped with a 6 inline cylinders and had a capacity of 5.355 cc and an output pf 30 HP and of course it is equipped with the "Sleeve Valve System".
The "Sleeve Valve System" is a four-stroke engine that does not use inlet and exhaust valves and a camshaft, but sliding or rotating shutoff slide in the cylinder wall.
Therefor , the great advantage of this system is undoubtedly its noiseless operation.
However, there are also disadvantages to it and this concerns that it needs a complicated construction and has less direct cooling.
A still working example with a complete original engine is very, very rare and is one of the most sought after examples for colectors.
Same rose, different look!
I added a light vignette which I thought suited it very well.
I have a very similar rose growing in my garden, which seems to given up flowering now so this one is from a bouquet ....
same bear as posted yesterday. He is young here and I'd imagine by now he is huge. This was taken in 2013 and if he's grown into his legs and paws, he is a boar to reckon with.
Here he is just across the river from me and I had a 500mm lens with a 1.4x on it. no crop or anything. Taken at 10:15 PM
The times they are a-changin'
We're here to turn the page
It's the same old story but it's told a different way
The more things change the more they stay the same
The same sunrise, it's just another day
If you hang in long enough they say you're comin' back
Just take a look, we're living proof and baby that's a fact
You know the more things change the more they stay the same
The same Ruddy male I posted three days ago. This time I got him doing his breeding display.
They expand their breast muscles and feathers to trap air and then rapidly beat their breasts with their bills to force the air out to create bubbles. I did not see a female to be impressed or not today.
