A slow shutter speed shot on a beach with added texture and tone .

Yesterday morning at the Four Mile Cove Eco Park. I had the place to myself. What a nice bonus with the sun rising and reflecting on the water through the mangroves. Oh and hints of fall on the boardwalk!

 

With her high cheekbones and her hair in an elegant bun, she made me imagine a fashionable lady in the Roman Empire.

This is the day Marnie and I went to Blackroot Pool and walked all the way round, mostly in woodland. The light was beautiful. Actually we weren't quite sure where we were a lot of the time, but it was a lovely experience !

 

Title taken from the book "Travels with Charley" by John Steinbeck, which I'd recommend to anyone. A great read !

Great White Egret - Ardea Alba

 

The great egret is generally a very successful species with a large and expanding range, occurring worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. It is ubiquitous across the Sun Belt of the United States and in the Neotropics. In North America, large numbers of great egrets were killed around the end of the 19th century so that their plumes could be used to decorate hats. Numbers have since recovered as a result of conservation measures. Its range has expanded as far north as southern Canada. However, in some parts of the southern United States, its numbers have declined due to habitat loss, particularly wetland degradation through drainage, grazing, clearing, burning, increased salinity, groundwater extraction and invasion by exotic plants. Nevertheless, the species adapts well to human habitation and can be readily seen near wetlands and bodies of water in urban and suburban areas.

 

The great egret is partially migratory, with northern hemisphere birds moving south from areas with colder winters. It is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.

 

In 1953, the great egret in flight was chosen as the symbol of the National Audubon Society, which was formed in part to prevent the killing of birds for their feathers.

 

On 22 May 2012, a pair of great egrets was announced to be nesting in the UK for the first time at the Shapwick Heath nature reserve in Somerset. The species is a rare visitor to the UK and Ben Aviss of the BBC stated that the news could mean the UK's first great egret colony is established. The following week, Kevin Anderson of Natural England confirmed a great egret chick had hatched, making it a new breeding bird record for the UK. In 2017, seven nests in Somerset fledged 17 young, and a second breeding site was announced at Holkham National Nature Reserve in Norfolk where a pair fledged three young.

 

In 2018, a pair of great egrets nested in Finland for the first time, raising four young in a grey heron colony in Porvoo.

Osprey with catch gets chased by Sea Gull.

The Osprey was continually harassed by this Seagull for quite some time as the Osprey rode the updrafts in order to get higher. I managed to get a couple of hundred shots of this encounter and after a while, the Osprey landed on a rock ledge where it finally devoured its meal in peace.

Halva is an oriental sweet made from caramel mass whipped with a foaming agent and crushed roasted kernels of nuts, peanuts, oil seeds (sunflower, sesame), with a mass fraction of fat of at least 25%. Halva is also called other types of sugary confectionery.

On the left in the photo, the halva is decorated with edible rice paper butterflies. They are tasteless but look beautiful.

 

I don't really like halva, it's very sweet :) And I liked it with coffee. I know at least three recipes for coffee with halva. Here is one of them.

ingredients:

ground coffee - 1 teaspoon (I like strong coffee, so there were 3 coffee spoons)

water - 120 ml

halva - 20 - 50 g (I took about 20 g)

milk - 120 ml

Cooking:

Brew coffee (or prepare in a coffee machine).

Mix hot milk with halva and punch with a blender.

Pour into a cup of coffee, add a mixture of halva with milk. And enjoy! You can add whipped cream if you like.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

 

Today is an orange day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Crazy Tuesdays is hearts. This is perfect since we have Mr. Teddy Bear and Princess with us to celebrate love and most importantly Happy Teddy Bear Tuesdays !

 

As we all know by now, Princess and Teddy Bear are very much in love. But like in many relationships, Mr. Teddy Bear is the most romantic one… He loves surprising his Princess with lovely surprises. This week, he decorated his orange apartment with hearts… Hearts are everywhere and the whole decor screams : love !

But Princess was very confused: Valentine’s Day isn’t in March ! Why all those hearts then ? Why decorating for Valentine’s Day one year ahead ? It is way to early !

But for Mr. Teddy Bear everyday is Valentine’s Day when he is with Princess…. and the 2 just kissed under a beautiful red heart.

But I have a meeting this morning and i need my coffee so I will not be able to continue that story … and it is a family friendly Photostream so we will not be able to see what happens after the kiss ;-).

 

I wish you all an amazing day !! See you later my friends !!

 

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!

Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.
