Pima County Fair – Tucson, AZ

We were having a donut snack at the famous Kenilworth bakery in Queensland when this honeyeater flew on to the next table top and eyeing our donuts.

 

No, we did not feed it. It stayed just long enough for me to get a quick shot.

 

The Blue-faced Honeyeater is a large black, white and golden olive-green honeyeater with striking blue skin around the yellow to white eye.

 

The crown, face and neck are black, with a narrow white band across the back of the neck.

 

The upperparts and wings are a golden olive green, and the underparts are white, with a grey-black throat and upper breast.

 

The blue facial skin is two-toned, with the lower half a brilliant cobalt blue.

 

Juvenile birds are similar to the adults but the facial skin is yellow-green and the bib is a lighter grey.

 

This honeyeater is noisy and gregarious, and is usually seen in pairs or small flocks.

 

It is known as the Banana-bird in tropical areas, for its habit of feeding on banana fruit and flowers.

 

Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated...

 

Peaceful Sunday

The Happy Caturday theme for 24 September 2022 is "Indian Summer" or "Warm Tones" or "Warm Colours." Tikki is, as we know from past Caturdays, the queen of fallen fall foliage, but with the Autumnal Equinox only a few days ago, it's too early for that here. So I tried to make her a warmly colored place which I believe did work for her - not as well as beneath the Japanese Maple or oak, but not half bad eh? (Her Majesty has just been diagnosed as hyperthyroid and we're trying to control that with a twice daily pill, and possibly her fur will regain glossiness once her metabolism is more normal. She should put on some of that weight she dropped unnecessarily, also.)

Friends gave us a pot of flowers planted in colours of purple, green and white: geraniums, petunias, variegated ivy - and these lovely tiny flowers, verbena I believe, which in particular took my eye.

Such a wonderful color and tone. It enriches the area where it stands. It’s tendency is to enhance any vegetation nearby. I think beauty like this can’t go ignored so why not take the photo opportunity to capture, share and save a piece of God’s natural beauty. Thanks for viewing my work. Gratitude and Kindness aren’t partial to any species as it’s meant to be part of life’s beauty for all to witness.

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Earthy Tones. The warm sunshine helped out today! HMMM!

Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees full of colour like this one in its glorious golden autumn livery one sunny early Autumn day in May.

 

Melbourne experienced a wonderful Indian summer this year, and as a result, not only were there still plenty of beautiful blooms about, but the Autumnal colours were brilliant.

A bit of a random street shot from Glasgow, Scotland. I just loved the 'character' of this pigeon and how it was poised on the edge here. Enjoy something a bit different from me, normal service will be resumed tomorrow ;)

Eat and sleep...what Atticus does best! He eats dinner everyday at about 4:00 and while he can't tell time, of course, it is uncanny how he knows when it is within 15 minutes of 4:00pm!

Macro Mondays theme, musical instrument. Master Key, chromatic pitch instrument. this is leftover from my days as a madrigal. My instrument was my voice.

Thanks for all the support!😊

My Fitbit goes with me everywhere. If I work out and forget to turn it on to track the workout, I don't feel like I've done a workout. I may be a bit obsessed with trackers and workout statistics I must admit.

 

This photo is for Macro Mondays theme Everyday Day Carries. It had me thinking I pretty much only carry a car "fob" , a phone & my trusty Fitbit (on about my 10th now) these days. No need for a wallet when your phone has your cards, license, travel card and everything else you need. Most of the time I just swipe my Fitbit for small purchases. Haven't used cash for years. I'm not sure if that is a good or a bad thing, but its convenient, love travelling light and unencumbered.

 

Happy new week out there !

Just before the color faded completely, some soft pastel tones lingered for a moment. Near Olds, Alberta.

These individuals were photographed in close proximity in the same space and time, but on different perches. The plumages are a bit different, but according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:

 

"Great Horned Owls are mottled gray-brown, with reddish brown faces and a neat white patch on the throat. Their overall color tone varies regionally from sooty to pale".

 

Females are also slightly larger than males, but without a shot of these together, it is impossible to tell which is which.
