I think these are Texas river cooters and at least a couple of red-eared sliders. Below Longhorn Dam, Austin.
I don't think these Polish flags sit in front of Wavel Castle permanently, I think they were there for the Popes benefit as he'd been visiting the previous day for 'World Youth Day'.

From Wikipedia : "The Wawel Royal Castle and the Wawel Hill constitute the most historically and culturally important site in Poland. For centuries the residence of the kings of Poland and the symbol of Polish statehood, the Castle is now one of the country’s premier art museums. Established in 1930, the museum encompasses ten curatorial departments responsible for collections of paintings, including an important collection of Italian Renaissance paintings, prints, sculpture, textiles, among them the Sigismund II Augustus tapestry collection, goldsmith’s work, arms and armor, ceramics, Meissen porcelain, and period furniture. The museum’s holdings in oriental art include the largest collection of Ottoman tents in Europe. With seven specialized conservation studios, the museum is also an important center for the conservation of works of art."

I can't be sure, and I'm not one to start rumors, but I think I saw GNorman coming out of the pointy house this morning! That's really strange because GNicky lives there and I thought Gnorman was married?
I love stumbling across people who match their surroundings. Wish I remembered what the statue is, but I all know is that it is one of the gardens in Paris.
The roadway that goes around the building was flooded after heavy winter rains. It is also a fair distance to the sea, the tides aggravates the situation.
I think Luca looks so cute with chocolate ice-cream all over his mouth!!
His mum was not very impressed, but he loved it!!!
The alliteration does seem to be appropriate!
At the 2016 Keystone Transgender Conference, Jamie, Ava, Carmen, Julie, Bree, Cindy & I got together after the Saturday night Gala Dinner to recreate a group pic to show off our legs that we all participated in the year before! I think we all look fabulous! I hope you think so too!

We have an insane number of people killed walking the tracks in North Carolina each year...
So how old did you think I was?
I ask a lot of real girls when Im out and about and 99% of them think I'm around 27 then I tell them...
Please leave a comment, only takes a few seconds!
Wow ! This is my current fav photo of me ever. Taken in my hotel room on January 1st 2017.
I'm 48 years old and look like this, I really find it hard to believe when I see how I look in this photograph. Not Photoshoped, no pro makeovers, no dressing service, JUST plain old me !
How old do YOU think I am?
PLEASE leave a comment rather than just clicking that Favorite button, after all if you like it then please tell me WHY you like it :)

Recall those days,
look back on all those times,
think of the things we'll never do,
there will never be a day when
I won't think of you...

At a certain time of the day during July, The Sun strikes these rocks and produces an image of Rodins, The Thinker within the rocks.
I think the very first Long-eared Owl that I ever saw was seen on 13 October 2006. SInce then, I have been very fortunate to have seen several other individuals (see my Album) - including yesterday. These owls are very secretive and many birders go years between sightings. It is so important not to give the location of this species. Be careful that there is nothing in your photos that gives away the location.
Various people had been posting photos of a Long-eared Owl recently, but I had no idea where they were seeing it. Someone had posted a photo and labelled it "Calgary", so I had thought it must have been seen in one of our local city parks. Yesterday, I decided to go for a short drive and get a bit of sunshine and fresh air. Our deep freeze has lasted for more than four weeks, and I have been home for most of that time. Yesterday was a milder day, so I decided to make the most of it, especially with more snow forecast for tomorrow.
Imagine my surprise when a stranger told me just where it was, and my absolute horror when I came upon a huge crowd of photographers with their lenses raised! So how did they all know about this owl?? Apparently, Facebook has such a bad reputation for people trolling everyone's photostream there, finding out locations for all sorts of things (old barns included!). Then, of course, some people phone others, to ask or to tell. Most people were down in the ditch at the fenceline, so no doubt they were able to get stunning close shots, especially those with enormous lenses. My photos were taken from the road, which was twice as far away, with a point-and-shoot. I'm not out to try and get better photos than anyone else : ) As always, there is so much competition among photographers. I was also not out there all day, like various people always are, and often day after day after day.
So, after saying those things, perhaps you can imagine how extremely upset I am to have been told yesterday (when I arrived at the owl) by a couple of friends (both of whom are superb photographers) that my photograph had been taken, along with two other people in it, standing at the edge of a road earlier in February. These friends thought it was hilarious and I sure was teased a lot. As they said, my "goody two-shoes" image was gone. They both know I have very high ethics, including when it comes to photography. This photo was posted on Facebook on a provincial birding page, pointing out how dangerous it is for people to stand by the road. This thread turned into a string of comments about people harassing the owls, etc., etc., etc. Actually, the other two people in the photo are both seen taking photos (when I was told they already had taken thousands). There's me, camera not raised, looking disgusted that an owl had been flushed so that they could take flight images. The reason I was out of my vehicle was that these two people were out of theirs and racing down the road at top speed to get yet more shots. When I was sitting in my car, these photographers blocked my view of the owl, so out I got and caught up with them. To prove that I was not planning on getting out of my car this trip, I was wearing just my thin summer jacket (over fleece) in windchill in the minus 20C's. PS: I rarely allow people (i.e. friends) to photograph me. Not sure what right this man thinks he has, to take my photo and especially to then post it on a very popular Facebook group page. I would like it removed from Facebook, or at the very least, to have myself totally blurred out of the image. When this sort of thing happens, it can totally destroy a person's joy of photography! 127 comments on this man's posting - angry, rude, critical, by people who don't even know me or my ethics!!!
Sorry to rant, but it just upsets me so much that this photo was taken and posted on Facebook. The very last thing I would ever want is to be connected with bad ethics!! Of course, I must be such a bad person to actually stand by the road - ha, you should see all the dozens of people who do exactly the same (without being photgraphed)!
Yesterday, I took maybe 30 photos of the Long-eared Owl, and maybe a couple of dozen of a Short-eared Owl, almost every single one of the latter needing to be deleted, because they were all totally blurry, thanks to taking the photos from inside my car. You can be sure that most of the others went home with yet another memory card containing thousands of photos.
Sorry for the rant, but I am hoping that now I won't be stressing out over it quite as much, every second of the day! Ain't life fun? To the man who took my photo (as far as I know, I have never met him), how about taking a few photos of the crowds of people, especially those who were as close as they could get to the LEO. Or those who stress out the owls day after day after day, often from morning till evening! You might just get even more likes and comments on photos of those repeat "offenders". How about giving it a try? 127 comments on this man's posting - angry, rude, critical, by people who don't even know me or my ethics!!! Note: the photo and all comments were removed from Facebook.

Actually, on a more serious note, something that I'm sure most people don't think of. You really need to be careful about taking a photo of someone and then posting it (without signing a consent form). For various security reasons, doing this could actually put someone in danger. For example, a woman (or vice versa) might not want their photo being advertised in this way, not wanting an abusive spouse/partner to know where they go sometimes or what they do. Just something to keep in mind.
"Africa: Whatever you thought, think again" was the title of a Special Edition of National Geographic in 2005. I love that this photo doesn't resemble any of my preconceptions of Africa. The hills, lake, and duck look more like Montana.
But this is Lake Chilwa, a major stopping point for migrating birds traveling through Africa. And just another example of how Africa never fails to surprise.
