Phaethornis eurynome - Only large hermit hummingbird in its range with black feathers on the throat giving it a scaled appearance. The bill is slightly curved. The back is olive-green and it has a strong mask. The tail is long and white-tipped. Similar to Dusky-throated Hermit, but Scale-throated Hermit is bigger with a longer tail. Found in the understory of humid and montane forests.
Happy Tuesday!

The Scale is the results of a weekend long Light Painting Workshop that Harold Ross, a brilliant fine art photographer, offers. The workshop was intense but -- I loved every minute of it!
Snakes, like other reptiles, have skin covered in scales. Snakes are completely covered with keratinous scales or shields, of various shapes and sizes. The scales protect their body and, aid in locomotion, allow to maintain humidity within it, alter surface characteristics such as roughness to aid in camouflage, and in some cases they are even useful in capturing their prey.
And some flowers bokeh for a Peaceful Monochrome Thursday!
This comparatively large hummingbird, which is endemic to the Atlantic Forest biome, is easily identified within its range by virtue of it being the only larger, predominantly green and gray-plumaged hermit, with a rather long, decurved, bill. The Scale-throated Hermit inhabits the understory of both lowland and highland forests, as well as old second growth, from southeast Brazil (as far north as southern Bahia) to eastern Paraguay and northeast Argentina, and is recorded at 2250 m at least. It feeds, like most hermit hummingbirds, by trap-lining, although some arthropods are also taken, and the species will periodically also visit feeders to take ‘artificial’ nectar. This hermit is tolerably common in most parts of its range.

A little backlight but not something I see everyday so thought I'd upload it anyway. There were a few chicks circling the base of the fencepost but too hidden by the sage to get a shot.

There's two paths leading up towards Blencathra's summit, the one on the left goes up via Sharp Edge, the one on the right is an easier safer way.. the choice is yours, whatever you prefer :-)
What could be more tempting, an empty beach, a changeable weather forecast, and a strong wind making things happen. As the season progresses storms denude the beach of it's sand , and the rock strata is more emphasised. It's like walking on pavements of fossils. Fossil Scale is by Georgia Ruth
The line along the shores of Puget Sound at Edmonds had its moments. Like many it seemed to be quiet for lengthy periods and then a series of freights would pass within no time at all. This loaded coal train surprised me whilst we were waiting in the car to board the ferry to Kingston. I had been ready for some potential bird photography so I had to make do with using my long lens. That being said this train was over two miles away when I took this photo.
The view looks north and sees BNSF unit 5302 at the rear of the consist. A mile and a half further up the coast three other locomotives propel the freight towards Canada with this export.
A little beauty - enjoying the nectar of the sage flower - at Tapiraí, São Paulo.
Happy Sunday!

too small for the space.
too large to ignore.
this image doesn’t measure meters — it measures meaning.
it’s not the wall that remembers.
it’s the ones who walk through it.
What a treat to observe and photograph a "life-bird". While in Texas at the border, we took cover in a hide and first saw this lovely bird. Later, there were two quails and we watched as they both share dirt and dust to bathe in the setting sun. A ground-dwelling bird of the southwestern desert grasslands, the Scaled Quail usually runs to escape enemies rather than flying.
