Made of pink marble and coquina, the 205-foot tall neo-Gothic and Art Deco Singing Tower houses the 60-bell carillon. The bells do not swing, instead the bell is rung by a clapper from the inside. The largest bell, called the Bourdon, is 22,400 pounds (just under 12 tons) with a diameter of 102 inches. The smallest weighs 16 pounds. The total weight of the bells is 62 tons.

Most likely the bird has a nest in the nearby bushes.
It came out to see who was passing by, and just as quickly disappeared into the bush again.
The most beautiful blue I have ever seen. These shy birds show up once a year and it is always a treat when they do.

Thank you for looking at my images. It is very much appreciated.
Singing Honeyeater

The wet foggy morning had saturated even the most careful of creatures. And Singing Honeyeaters defending their piece of the Cape Leeuwin Wattle are hardly careful.
This Fox Sparrow was singing energetically in late April (presumably on breeding territory) on the west side of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. This individual is of the “Sooty” form, which some authorities consider a separate species. (Some taxonomists divide what was known as P. iliaca into no less than four species.)
“Before I fell
in love with words,
with setting skies
and singing birds—
it was you I fell
in love with first.”

For my dearflickrfriend Izakigur who shares the most bright photos from the Alps...
Singing the 1970's song Everything Is Beautiful
Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world
Everything is beautiful in it's own way
Like a starry summer night
On a snow covered winter's day
And everybody's beautiful in their own way
Under God's Heaven
The world's gonna find the way
There is none so blind
As He who will not see
We must not close up minds
We must let our thoughts be free
For every hour that passes by
You know the world gets a little bit older
It's time to realize that people lies
In the eyes of the beholder
And everything is beautiful in its own way
Like a starry summer night
On a snow covered winter's day, ah, sing it children
Everybody's beautiful in their own way
Under God's Heaven
The world's gonna find a way
We shouldn't care about the length of His hair
Of the color of His skin
Don't worry about what shows from without
But the love that lives within
And we're gonna get old again now
Everything is gonna work out fine
Just take a little time to the look on the good side my friend
And spittle in out in your mind
And everything is beautiful in it's own way
Like a starry summer night
On a snow covered winter's day, ah, sing it children
Everybody's beautiful in their own way
Under God's Heaven
The world's gonna find a way, one more time
Everything is beautiful in its own way
Like a starry summer night
On a snow covered winter's day
The African Darter (Anhinga rufa), also known as the Snakebird, is an animal unique to sub-Saharan Africa. It is known for its very long neck and its unique swimming style. The African Darter gets the nickname "Snakebird" because it swims similar to the way a snake slithers. Its head is above water while swimming, which is a different style from many birds worldwide. The African Darter is typically found in tropical wetlands, and they spend a lot of time sitting beside bodies of water, particularly in areas where mangroves are prominent. The African Darter is fond of shallow, still waters and usually swims with its head above water. Unlike many birds, the feathers of the African Darter are not waterproof, and the bird must dry its feathers before taking flight. For the most part, these birds lead a sedentary lifestyle. These birds are fairly large, with a body size reaching close to 80 centimeters and weight close to 1.4 kgs.
Since the African Darter spends a lot of time in and around shallow bodies of water, its diet is composed primarily of amphibious animals. They mainly eat fish, frogs, crustaceans, or molluscs. These birds are able to eat fish and other foods from either saline or freshwater environments.
This beautiful African Darter was photographed singing on a late evening boat ride on Lake Baringo, Kenya.

Another from the Foggy Morning.
Time for this Singing Honeyeater to dry out a bit.
