Pied Flycatcher (M) - Ficedula hypoleuca

  

The European pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) is a small passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family. One of the four species of Western Palearctic black-and-white flycatchers, it hybridizes to a limited extent with the collared flycatcher. It breeds in most of Europe and western Asia.

It is migratory, wintering mainly in tropical Africa.

It usually builds its nests in holes on oak trees. This species practices polygyny, usually bigamy, with the male travelling large distances to acquire a second mate. The male will mate with the secondary female and then return to the primary female in order to help with aspects of child rearing, such as feeding.

 

The European pied flycatcher is mainly insectivorous, although its diet also includes other arthropods. This species commonly feeds on spiders, ants, bees and similar prey.

 

The European pied flycatcher predominately practices a mixed mating system of monogamy and polygyny. Their mating system has also been described as successive polygyny. Within the latter system, the males leave their home territory once their primary mates lays their first eggs. Males then create a second territory, presumably in order to attract a secondary female to breed. Even when they succeed at acquiring a second mate, the males typically return to the first female to exclusively provide for her and her offspring.

Males will sometimes care for both mates if the nests of the primary and secondary female are close together. The male may also care for both mates once the offspring of the primary female have fledged. The male bird usually does not exceed two mates, practicing bigamy. Only two cases of trigyny had been observed.

The old adage of if you don't succeed try, try again is well known to those shooting landscapes and cityscapes. We've all encountered the time when the weather, the sun, the clouds, the city lights, or maybe all of the above just don't want to cooperate when you're trying to get that perfect shot. If we're lucky we get to go back to try again and hope the next opportunity turns out better.

 

That's the story of this beautiful area along False Creek in Vancouver overlooking Science World and BC Place stadium. I was hoping to get a decent blue hour shot here and luckily was in Vancouver for 4 days which allowed for multiple attempts. On the first attempt the rain came pouring down right around when sunset was supposed to be through blue hour. The second attempt I was very hopeful. It was Victoria Day, a major holiday in Canada, and the weather was going to be wonderful! My hopes were up dreaming of fireworks and the Science World dome with amazing lights... only to find no fireworks and most of the dome lights off with only a small section in red... Luck was on my side on the 3rd try with the dome fully lit with a cool purple! Eureka! Third time turned out to be a charm :)

 

stop thinking that there's a trick to everything :-)

The weather pine on mt. Lilienstein. A tree that is been photographed uncountable times already. Nonethless I will give it again my full attention. You can see its life was anything else than easy. But it succeeded to survive and grow on this inhospitable place on plane rocks for many years now. Maybe its this breathtaking view, what makes him carry on.

 

Die Wetterkiefer auf dem Lilienstein. Ein Baum, der schon unzählige male fotografiert wurde. Trotzdem möchte ich ihm hier nochmal die volle Aufmerksamkeit schenken. Man sieht ihm an, dass sein Leben alles andere als leicht ist. Doch ist es ihm gelungen an diesem unwirtlichen Ort auf nacktem Felsen viele Jahre durchzuhalten und zu wachsen. Vielleicht ist es dieser atemberaubende Ausblick, der ihn zum Weitermachen bewegt.

In this anthological light at sunset, I was very happy to succeed in this huge panorama of Mâcon from nine original photos assembled 3 by 3 in HDR mode, then with the 3 resulting HDR photos juxtaposed in one.

 

I tried on this photo to give the widest possible view of Mâcon. It gives a good idea of the scale and beauty of the panorama. It is particularly highlighted by extraordinary reflections in the Saône river, and by the sunset which illuminates the 2 towers of Saint-Pierre church and tints the sky with magnificent colours.

You can also admire here almost the entire Saint-Laurent bridge, dating from the 11th century. Only the last arch on the Saint-Laurent side is missing. Its extraordinary length for a medieval bridge (215 m - 706 ft) is obvious.

On the other side of the bridge, the whole Saône river's front of Mâcon unfolds, with in particular the 2 towers (14th century) of old Saint-Vincent, and the departmental archives tower which dates from the 1960s.

Immense panorama au coucher du soleil

 

Dans cette lumière d'anthologie au coucher du soleil, j'ai été très heureux de réussir ce panorama immense de Mâcon à partir de neuf photos d'origine assemblées 3 par 3 en mode HDR, puis avec les 3 photos HDR résultat juxtaposées en une seule.

 

J'ai cherché sur cette photo à donner la vue la plus large possible sur Mâcon. Elle donne une bonne idée de l'ampleur et de la beauté du panorama. Il est particulièrement mis en valeur par des reflets extraordinaires dans la Saône, et le coucher de soleil qui illumine les 2 tours de l'église Saint-Pierre et teinte le ciel de couleurs magnifiques.

On admire ici aussi pratiquement tout le pont de Saint-Laurent, datant du 11ème siècle. Il ne manque que la dernière arche coté Saint-Laurent. Sa longueur extraordinaire pour un pont médiéval (215 m) nous saute aux yeux.

De l'autre côté du pont, tout le front de Saône de Mâcon se déploie, avec notamment les 2 tours (14ème siècle) du vieux Saint-Vincent, et la tour des archives départementales qui date des années 1960.

Castle on the river ...

 

Drzewica , hdr , hand held .

 

This Castle is real, it is not an illusion.

Such photos are sometimes taken serina if the conditions are right.

This day is another example that it is worth waiting for a fabulous light that brings out unprecedented colors and shades. But that would not be enough to succeed.

I waited several years to take photos of the castle from the north side, because the location from which such photos can be taken is a private property usually unavailable, but that day the owner visited his old house. You also have to be a little lucky to be where you need to be at the right time - that day I did not have a camera with me but I had a phone, in less than 5 minutes I took 11 photos, walking closer to the river towards the castle - I only changed the focal lengths. It was worth waiting for the right moment.

 

My 1st experiment that I did for Splash, I never thought that i can Capture this much sharp image by my Cam……. I give my maximum effort and Finlay I succeed.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe, LLC is the parent company of the BNSF Railway (formerly the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway). The company is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, which is controlled by investor Warren Buffett.

 

History

The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation was incorporated in 1993 to facilitate the merger of Burlington Northern, Incorporated, parent of the Burlington Northern Railroad, and Santa Fe Pacific Corporation, which owned the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (Santa Fe). The corporate merger was consummated on September 22, 1995, at which point shareholders of the previous companies became shareholders of BNSF and the two companies became wholly owned subsidiaries of BNSF. In December 1996, the two holding companies and two railroads were formally merged, and in January 1998 the remaining intermediate holding company was folded into the railroad.

 

Robert D. Krebs of Santa Fe Pacific was president of BNSF from the merger until 1999, chief executive from the merger until 2000, and chairman from 1997 until 2002. He was succeeded in all three positions by Matthew K. Rose.

 

On November 3, 2009, Berkshire Hathaway made a $26 billion offer to buy the remaining 77.4% of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation it did not already own, valuing the purchase at $34 billion. The deal, which including Berkshire's previous investment and the assumption of $10 billion in Burlington Northern debt brings the total value to $44 billion. Consummated February 12, 2010, it is the largest acquisition in Berkshire Hathaway's history.

 

The deal was structured so that the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation would merge with and into R Acquisition Company, LLC, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway. The deal closed on February 12, 2010, and at the same time, the now merged company changed its name to Burlington Northern Santa Fe, LLC that remains an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway.

Fix You - Coldplay

youtu.be/k4V3Mo61fJM

 

When you try your best, but you don't succeed

When you get what you want, but not what you need

When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse

 

And the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can't replace

When you love someone, but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

 

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

 

And high up above, or down below

When you're too in love to let it go

But if you never try, you'll never know

Just what you're worth

To succeed means that you may have to step out of line and march to the sound of your own drummer. Keith Degreen

Photographing in the woods is always something special for me. Not only that I love to be in the forest, it's the creativ process what is drawing me here again and again. Photographing in the forest is quite ambitious. To find a system inside of this chaos is like searching for the needle in a haystack. So it’s even more delightful when I'm succeeding (what is not hapening every time) and I'm able to create a photograph what is meeting the grade of harmony of a place like this.

 

Fotografieren im Wald ist für mich immer etwas ganz besonderes. Nicht nur, dass ich es liebe im Wald zu sein, es ist auch der kreative Prozeß, der mich immer wieder dort hin zieht. Fotografieren im Wald empfinde ich als sehr anspruchsvoll. Ein System in diesem Chaos zu finden ist wie die Suche nach der Nadel im Heuhaufen. Um so mehr freue mich mich, wenn es mir gelingt (das passiert nicht jedesmal) und ich ein Bild schaffen kann, was der Harmonie dieses Ortes gerecht wird.

Flit is thankful for the rain and ventures out to get some smokes while the population density is low. Buying a few packs might be a good idea, and some snacks while she's out before hunkering down in her bunker for another week... or so.

 

53 days in self-isolation is starting to get to her, the uncertainty starting to weigh on her mind trying not to get caught up in the endless variables that play in her circuits. That and the humans using all the bandwidth watching Netflix at home is interfering with her own communications systems.

 

She will have to take the lockdowns one day at a time, we've all come too far to muck it all up now...

Blowing in the Wind this little Wren was trying to get bird seed in a strong wind, he succeeded but looks a bit annoyed.

De la taille approximative d'un moineau, la sittelle torchepot est facilement identifiable grâce à son long trait oculaire noir, à son bec large et puissant et à sa queue courte. La couronne, la queue et le dessus sont bleu-gris, plus foncé sur les ailes. Le dessous est brun-orange, virant à l'orange foncé sous la queue. La gorge et les joues sont blanches. Les couleurs du mâle et de la femelle sont semblables mais chez le mâle le dessous de la queue et les flancs sont brun marron, alors que chez la femelle, ils sont plus pâles. Les oiseaux originaires de Scandinavie sont plus pâles en dessous. La sittelle, oiseau forestier, peut fréquenter les jardins avec des grands arbres. Oiseau très peu sociable, la sittelle vit généralement toute l'année en couple sur un territoire bien délimité, auquel elle est très attachée. Elle le défend même en hiver, contre ses congénères et on peut la voir parfois avec les bandes de mésanges lorsqu'elles visitent les mangeoires. Les sittelles visitent les aires de nourrissage à condition de disposer dans les environs immédiats de vieux arbres. Sur les mangeoires, les sittelles sont des oiseaux agressifs, dominants toutes les espèces plus petites et la plupart des espèces de même taille. Si l'autre oiseau ne quitte pas immédiatement les lieux, il est immédiatement attaqué avec virulence. Seuls plusieurs verdiers réussissent à repousser une sittelle agressive. À l'instar des mésanges noires et nonnette, elle est connue pour faire des réserves de nourriture dans des crevasses, notamment des noisettes, qu'elle mangera en période de disette. Dans son long bec, elle peut emmagasiner deux ou trois graines de tournesol. Elle s'envole alors en direction d'un arbre pour dissimuler son butin dans les crevasses du tronc. Elle camoufle ses caches de graines avec des morceaux d'écorce, de lichen ou de mousse. Comme la sittelle est très fidèle à son territoire, elle retrouve toujours ses cachettes aux cours de ses pérégrinations. Elle coince les noisettes dans des crevasses et assène de puissants coups de bec jusqu'à ce que la coque se fende en deux. Ces martèlements sont si forts qu'on croirait entendre un pic.

**********************************************************

Approximately the size of a sparrow, the Eurasian Nuthatch is easily identifiable by its long black eye line, large, powerful beak and short tail. Crown, tail and upper surface are blue-gray, darker on the wings. The underside is orange-brown, turning dark orange below the tail. The throat and cheeks are white. The colors of the male and the female are similar, but in the male the underside of the tail and the sides are brownish brown, in the female they are paler. Birds native to Scandinavia are paler below. The nuthatch, a forest bird, can frequent gardens with large trees. A very unsociable bird, the nuthatch generally lives all year round in pairs on a well-defined territory, to which it is very attached. It defends it even in winter, against its congeners and we can sometimes see it with the bands of chickadees when they visit the feeders. Nuthatches visit feeding areas provided they have old trees in the immediate vicinity. On feeders, nuthatches are aggressive birds, dominating all smaller species and most species of the same size. If the other bird does not immediately leave the premises, it is immediately attacked with virulence. Only several greenfinches succeed in repelling an aggressive nuthatch. Like the black and barnacle chickadees, it is known to store food in crevices, especially hazelnuts, which it will eat in times of scarcity. In its long beak, it can store two or three sunflower seeds. She then flies in the direction of a tree to hide her booty in the crevices of the trunk. It camouflages its seed caches with pieces of bark, lichen or moss. As the nuthatch is very faithful to its territory, it always finds its hiding places during its wanderings. She wedges the hazelnuts in crevices and pecks hard until the shell splits in two. These poundings are so loud that you think you hear a pickaxe.

Slide Rock State Park, originally the Pendley Homestead, is a 43-acre historic apple farm located in Oak Creek Canyon. Frank L. Pendley, having arrived in the canyon in 1907, formally acquired the land under the Homestead Act in 1910. Due to his pioneering innovation, he succeeded where others failed by establishing a unique irrigation system still in use by the park today. This allowed Pendley to plant his first apple orchard in 1912, beginning the pattern of agricultural development that has dominated the site since that time. Pendley also grew garden produce and kept some livestock.

 

As one of the few homesteads left intact in the canyon today, Slide Rock State Park is a fine example of early agricultural development in Central Arizona. The site was also instrumental to the development of the tourism industry in Oak Creek Canyon. The completion of the canyon road in 1914 and the paving of the roadway in 1938 were strong influences in encouraging recreational use of the canyon. Hence, Pendley followed suit and in 1933, built rustic cabins to cater to vacationers and sightseers.

 

Todays visitors can still enjoy the fruits of Pendley's labor. Historic cabins are available for viewing, and the creek offers the park's namesake slide for adventures seekers and those looking for a place to cool off.

 

An old shot I've just got round to processing - (I'm very slow)

This week is the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London so this one seemed appropriate - I've posted a wider shot of this evening before with the old wooden posts in the foreground.

Here I'd zoomed in to 55mm to get more detail in Tower Bridge & the City but had to create a pano to include the Shard & Tower 42.

I particularly liked the burning red reflections in the windows of the Thames Clipper & Tower 42 in this one.

One of those grey overcast days where I wasn't expecting any colour but the Sun broke under the cloud right at the end.

The sky colour was so intense that the raw file was too saturated to need any increase.

 

The Great Fire of London was started in Pudding Lane by the Royal Baker (inadvertently) in 1666 - so they say.

Luckily very few people were thought to have been hurt & the fire succeeded in sterilising most of the run down slum filled bits of London that had been ravaged by the Great Plague.

For some reason Great Fires, Puddings & Bakers brought 'The Great British Bake Off' to mind.

If you're a fan of the show like my wife - (although I suspect the real reason she watches it is to see the steely eyed scouser - Paul Hollywood) - & you're a serious baker - be sure to turn off the oven before going to bed :))

Succeed

"To laugh often and much.

To win the respect of smart people,

And the affection of children,

To earn the approval of honest critics,

And face the betrayal of false friends,

To appreciate beauty,

To find the best in others,

To leave the world a bit better,

Whether by a healthy child,

A garden patch,

Or a redeemed social condition,

To know one life has breathed easier,

Because you have lived,

This is to have succeeded.”

The Continental Mark II is an ultra-luxury coupé that was sold by the Continental Division of Ford for the 1956 and 1957 model years. The only product line ever marketed by Continental during its existence, the Mark II served as the worldwide flagship vehicle of Ford Motor Company. The vehicle derived its name from European manufacturing practice, with "Mark II" denoting a second generation (succeeding the 1939–1948 Lincoln Continental).

 

As the most expensive American-produced automobile of the time, the Mark II was marketed against the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Produced solely as a two-door hardtop coupe, the Mark II used standard Lincoln mechanical components, including its "Y-block" V8 and automatic transmission. The rest of the vehicle was largely hand-assembled, leading Ford to lose thousands of dollars for each example produced.

 

Following the 1957 model year, Ford discontinued its flagship Continental division, with the division phased into Lincoln from 1958. For 1969, Ford revived the chronology of the Mark series with the debut of the (second) Continental Mark III coupe, leading to five successive generations; the model line currently ends with the 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII coupe. In modified form, Lincoln still uses the four-point star emblem introduced by the Mark II; each version of the Mark series (and the 1982-1987 Lincoln Continental) was styled with a "Continental" spare-tire trunklid.

 

Intended as a successor to the Lincoln Continental, effectively making its predecessor a Mark I, the Continental Mark II made its world debut at the Paris Motor Show in October 1955.The Mark II debuted in the United States at Ford Motor Company headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. With a $9,966 base price (equivalent to $95,100 today), the Mark II was the most expensive domestic-produced automobile sold in the United States at the time. The only extra cost option offered for the Mark II was a $595 ($5,700 today) air conditioner. Despite its high price, Ford Motor Company estimated it lost nearly $1,000 ($9500 today) for every unit produced

 

To streamline production, powertrain components were adapted from the Lincoln model line and checked through the division's quality-control program during production. The 368 cubic-inch Lincoln Y-block V8 powered the Mark II, paired with the 3-speed Turbo-Drive automatic transmission. For 1956, the engines produced 285 hp, increased to 300 hp for 1957

Total productions for the two years produced was 3005 units including about one half dozen preproduction and prototypes.

Spring, also known as springtime, is one of the four temperate seasons, succeeding winter and preceding summer. There are various technical definitions of spring, but local usage of the term varies according to local climate, cultures and customs. When it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it is autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. At the spring (or vernal) equinox, days and nights are approximately twelve hours long, with daytime length increasing and nighttime length decreasing as the season progresses.

[He] succeeded in touching some of the deepest chords in his little friend’s heart and in evoking in him the first and still vague sensation of that eternal and sacred longing which many a chosen spirit, having once tasted and experienced it, will never afterwards exchange for some cheap feeling of satisfaction. (There are even such lovers of sensations to whom this longing is dearer than the most complete satisfaction, if such a thing were at all possible.)

-Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Devils, translated by David Magarshack (Middlesex: Penguin Books, 1971), 54.

When I heard that I might find limpkins at Harn’s Marsh in Lehigh Acres I went to look them up on my trusty iBird app as I had no clue what they looked like. Armed with this knowledge I set off one morning in search of them and a couple of other species I had not seen or photographed before. The Marsh did not disappoint, for no sooner had I got out of my car and headed for a pond I saw limpkins around the shoreline. Score!

 

I knew that they ate mollusks, but I had no idea how they opened them up. I soon found out. A limpkin picked up a clam shell and proceeded to tip it up on end. It would slip the tip of its beak inside the shell and then proceed to lift it up and then push down, hoping to pry the shell apart. After a few attempts it succeeded in opening the shell and then downed the treat inside. Nature is so ingenious!

 

Thanks so much for your views, faves and comments!

What do photographers do? Most of the time, they seek to reproduce images that they saw in their childhood or in the more recent past. I am very happy to be able to do this and to succeed in producing images almost as beautiful as those which were in my memory. These are the iconic images.

Then, when we advance in mastery, sometimes the Universe offers us access to our own compositions. But the way to learn is to go through iconic images.

 

Que font les photographes ? La plupart du temps, ils cherchent à reproduire des images qu'ils ont vues dans leur enfance ou dans un passé plus récent. Je suis très content de pouvoir faire cela et de réussir à produire des images presqu'aussi belles que celles qui étaient dans ma mémoire. Ce sont les images iconiques.

Ensuite, quand on avance en maîtrise, parfois l'Univers nous offre d'accéder à nos propres compositions. Mais le chemin de l'apprentissage, c'est de passer par les images iconiques.

This gull was so happy to have captured this big fish.

But she never succeeded to eat it.

Why ?

I let to find the reason.

Explanation : the fish is fake, it is a fish in plastic that fisher use to fish.

Fortunately she couldnt eat it, else I think she would died.

 

Cette mouette était si heureuse d'avoir capturé ce gros poisson.

Mais elle n'a jamais réussi à le manger.

Pourquoi ?

Je laisse chercher la raison.

Explication : le poisson est faux, c'est un poisson en plastique que les pêcheurs utilisent pour pêcher.

Heureusement elle n'a pas pu le manger, sinon je pense qu'elle serait morte.

These hot pink late tulips are my absolute favourites, they have pointed petals which makes them look like stars... and that is it, they have star-quality!!!

They are begging to be photographed, and make it easy, their beauty so prominent, yes, we had fun together!

Take care, be safe!
