Chaffinch making several attempts to land on a feeder, not really very successfully! Tho it did give me opportunity for trying some flight shots :)
This bird came very close to me in nice light! This photo was taken a fraction of a second after this earlier one on my Photostream - www.flickr.com/photos/142990502@N03/52964163744/in/datepo...

This cartoon-like balancing "Sax on legs" is playing 'Trinkle Tinkle' (song by Thelonious Monk) and it is a funny design by Rikki Donachie.
The Sax On Legs is made from 3 parts, the sax itself is folded from half of A4 paper and the arms and legs from a fourth of A4 paper. It's not completely closed.
Diagrams in BOS magazine #207 (april 2001)

Found this in a plant pot while I was gardening.
Found one last year as well.
Have a lovely day.

this is just one of a bazillion beautiful scenes to behold at The Flower of Scotland. Read about it here on The SLuggle.
the title of the picture I thought should come from Scotland's Robert Burns, and it's from a lovely love poem called Composed in August which you can find here.
This juvenile Burrowing Owl gave me the evil eye when I photographed him. I wasn’t that close but he didn’t want to be photographed that early morning on Marco Island.
This image was taken for the theme "flowers in march" of the group "smile on saturday". In particular, this theme is dedicated to the memory of a member of the group, Marcy Schrum. Even if I didn't know her well, I offer this flower image to her memory.
If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Music for your trip to the Universe:
Ground Control to Major Tom. Ground Control to Major Tom. Take your protein pills and put your helmet on. Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)... Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)... Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff...)
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."

Loch Linnhe near Port Appin in Argyll and Bute. Castle Stalker is in the distance in the middle of the shot. It is built on a small island on Loch Laich, an inlet off Loch Linnhe .
The original castle was a small fort, built around 1320 by Clan McDougall. Around 1388 the Stewarts took over the Lordship of Lorn, and it is believed that they built the castle in its present form around the 1440s.
Castle Stalker is now in private ownership and is open to the public at selected times during the summer.
This adult Bald Eagle looks seriously out of place in a background of snow! But nature can be a curious thing.

I`m standing at an altitude of more than one kilometer, the journey up the slope of the fell was long and sweaty, but I have enjoyed every step, almost. The fell's name is Saana and it`s said to be the most beautiful fell in Finland. The scenery from up here is amazing too, lakes and snow-capped fells. The wind is also strong, I have put on all the clothes in my backpack, a wool hat and gloves, a warm jacket. I have my hair braided and the strong wind is blowing them around my head, I must look funny lol. I sit sheltering from the wind next to a big stone and open the thermos bottle, the wonderful scent of coffee fills the air... Here is everything I need at this moment.
Saana, Kilpisjärvi, Lapland, the far North in Finland.
Sunrise this morning .
My prayer for you today is that God's blessings and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.
In this uncontainable night,
be the mystery at the crossroads of your senses,
the meaning discovered there.

I stop by every week or two to take pics. they are lucky to be free range. The "owner" driving a 60K truck doesn't appreciate my taking pics. I guess some kind of liberal plot. they are funny. They are in a ten acre pasture and they come running to say hi when I pull up.
A single guiding light burns brightly in the Steveston Harbour.
*** To give you a better perspective of this nautical scene, this image indirectly connects with my last post.. If you notice the wharf section to the right....it is the continuation of the same wharf from the previous photo on its left.
The scenic, Steveston Heritage Fishing Villiage is a charming fishing village that is situated in Richmond BC on the Mighty Fraser River
Definitely one of British Columbia's best kept secrets.

April 12, 2015. We had spent the afternoon at the local pub, playing pool, having a few awful beers, and eating half-frozen pies. I had my fingers crossed that sunset would turn something special on for us at this windmill, and shortly after, we were flying down the highway in a bid to catch the light before it drifted below a thick cloud teetering on the horizon.
After dodging a few emu's at high speed, we arrived at one of my most loved Australian scenes. This windmill embodies the classic Australian outback feeling better than anywhere else I've found.
