Spent the day with my girlfriend in this wonderful city in Tuscany...and found this spot on the road while returning home...
20 shots, one for the foreground and 19 for the sky :)
Kynance Cove, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and a few miles further along this stretch of coast the beautiful picture-postcard harbour at Mullion Cove protects a small fishing fleet from the ferocious Atlantic storms.
Leucism is defined as a condition in which there is partial loss of pigmentation in an animal resulting in white, pale, or patchy coloration of the skin, hair, feathers, scales or cuticle, but not the eyes. It differs from albinism in which there is no dark pigment at all, the animal appears pure white, and even the eyes appear red.
Leucisitic animals may have some dark pigments and the eyes are the normal color.
I found this young male in my backyard. Lake Wales, Polk County, Florida.
