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!

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.

Sometimes you do not realise how big things are , these workmans huts look tiny in these surroundings
The Dinorwic quarry (/dɪˈnɔːrwɪɡ/ din-OR-wig; Welsh: [dɪˈnɔrwɪɡ]; also known as Dinorwig quarry) is a large former slate quarry, now home to the Welsh National Slate Museum, located between the villages of Llanberis and Dinorwig in North Wales. It was[when?] the second largest slate quarry in Wales, indeed in the world, after the neighbouring Penrhyn quarry near Bethesda.[1]
It covered more than 700 acres (283 ha) consisting of two main quarry sections with 20 galleries in each and a number of ancillary workings. Extensive internal tramway systems connected the quarries using inclines to transport slate between galleries

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.

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 bronze figure was created in the 1990s by sculptor Steven Liguori. The statue was based on a photo of one of the last of the high scalers then alive -- Joe Kine.

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.
A couple weeks ago a productive Saturday morning saw me make a chase of a U704 out of Dubuque into Northwest Illinois. I didn't know it until I got down around Galena, but there was a meet setup for Scales Mound, Illinois, which would make for a good chase back towards home as a follow-up.
In this view courtesy the aerial camera device, U704 rolls eastward through the picturesque town of Scales Mound on the main. Led by CN 2379, 2999, and 5469 the trio is working to lift the 98 car train up the grade it has been battling since they left the Mississippi River Valley 16 miles to the west. The former Illinois Central main follows the Galena River and it's forks through the scenic Northwest Illinois countryside as the route gains elevation. In what seemed like a pretty well-timed meet, U705 on the far track with CN 3151, 2236, and 8933 arrived only a few minutes ahead of the U704, just enough time to get locked into the siding and allow the dispatcher to keep the eastbound moving. In just a few minutes with the meet complete the U705 would get the light down the hill to continue west.

On top of the car there are scales to weight lemons.
My eye was caught by the light falling on the bowls with backlight.
Sweet memories of a lovely holiday in Egypt. Nearly 20 years ago.
Just a quickie, one that was already processed.. Not a lot of water flowing over it, water levels are dependent on Scaling dam further upstream... I like the leaves framing it from above :-)
