I took a road trip last week in search of some warbler species that aren't common in my area. This Chestnut-sided Warbler was one of the species I hoped to get a look at.
Wikipedia: The chestnut-sided warbler (Setophaga pensylvanica) is a New World warbler. They breed in eastern North America and in southern Canada westwards to the Canadian Prairies. They also breed in the Great Lakes region and in the eastern United States.
The chestnut-sided warbler breeds in Eastern North America, from Saskatchewan to the Maritimes. They overwinter in Central America to northern Colombia, with a confirmed sighting from as far south as Ecuador. While they mainly spend their non-breeding period in Central America, with the highest numbers in Costa Rica, the chestnut-sided warbler does winter in southern parts of Mexico and some north-western parts of South America. These birds are Neotropical migrants, and are very rare vagrants to western Europe.

Side (Σίδη) (meaning pomegranate) is located in the region of Pamphylia in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) and was both a prosperous Aegean trading centre in Hellenistic and Roman times and a base for Cilician pirates in the 1st and 2nd centuries BCE.
One of the first things you notice on arrival at the site is that modern Side is a tourist town. However, it is also one of the best preserved classical sites in Turkey. The ancient city of Side is found on a small peninsula measuring about 1 km by 400 m.

I have a zinnia plant that is still quite in bloom. On a warm day, there are over a dozen butterflies on it at one time. And, they don't easily get chased away. These two happened to be side-by-side.
Matilija Poppy has been called the "Queen of California Flowers". Unique and distinct, it is one of the most recognized and beloved of California’s native plants. The large white blooms are the size of a saucer. The petals look like wrinkled crepe paper, the center is a bright yellow disk. Some have likened the flower to the appearance of a fried egg. A solitary bloom is a very fine thing, but a large stand of Matilija in full bloom is a sight to behold! Hundreds of huge white flowers borne at eye-level on long straight stems, contrasted by attractive blue-green foliage… a real show stopper in late spring/early summer!
Thanks to everyone for stopping by to view, fave, and comment!!

Not the usual perspective, in fact, is the easiest one since I made the photo from the parking lot, hehehe. I had to use the 300 mm lense and the tripod I carried all the way up, but didn't use since it was not necesary, like in every trip.
The tripod thou can become a permanent since it really helps sometimes.
After taking in the sunrise yesterday I descended the other side of the hill where the atmosphere was quite different.
after visiting Carrapateira beach I had to stop the car to capture this amazing light.

After taking several photos of cubs following their mothers, I really wanted a shot of the a grizzly mother and cub walking side by side along the water's edge. Watching and waiting paid off with this shot, Chilko Lake, BC.
