Not yet able to fly, this youngster was wandering from tree to tree. As it was returning to the nest tree it walked along the edge of the water, completely ignoring my presence.
At normal viewing distance, there's the face of an alien with large oval eyes. Move closer and the right eye looks like a big nosed winking cartoon character. Move further away and the left eye looks like the face of a demon looking at the winking cartoon character. Hmm, what's he planning?
Taken within walking distance of my home , and if there was anyone else was about it was easy to maintain a safe distance
Take care and stay safe
It's not about battling the strength of the beast...It's about battling the weakness within yourself.

Located within the awe-inspiring Lochaber Geopark in the Highlands, the deep valley and towering mountains of Glen Coe were carved out centuries ago by icy glaciers and volcanic explosions. In autumn, nature is adorned with magnificent colours of orange and brown, although the green never disappears.

At this morning's Band of Brothers group - The Portal - at Christian Fellowship Church - we discussed the power that lives within each. Recognize it. Cultivate it. Radiate it. "His divine power has given us everything we need to experience life and to reflect God’s true nature through the knowledge of the One who called us by His glory and virtue. Through these things, we have received God’s great and valuable promises, so we might escape the corruption of worldly desires and share in the divine nature." 2 Peter 1

Located within Lassen Volcanic National Park at 8,714 feet of altitude is Reading Peak which actually is small plug dome volcano located about 2.5 miles from Mount Lassen in Shasta County in California. Mount Lassen for whom the national park was named last erupted in the early Twentieth Century. My sweet damsel and I camped within this amazing national park several years back which sadly suffered damage from the Dixie wildland fire that ravaged the lake Almanor area. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot @nationalparkservice @lassennps @visitcalifornia
Have a nice weekend my friends. I don't know Nancy Pelosi will visit Taiwan or not, we sincerely expect her coming. :-)
Mount Hehuan, also called Joy Mountain, is a 3,416-metre-high (11,207 ft) mountain in Central Taiwan. The peak lies on the borders of Nantou and Hualien counties and is located within Taroko National Park. Hehuanshan is a popular destination in central Taiwan. The 3,421-metre east peak and 3,422-metre north peak of Hehuanshan are both higher than the main peak.
Mount Hehuan is part of the Central Mountain Range.
These chandeliers are quite spectacular. Take time to notice them the next time you pass through what used to be the very grand waiting room at Grand Central.
"The Happy Family" is a renowned painting created by the Dutch artist Jan Steen. Painted during the 17th century, Steen was known for his ability to capture scenes of everyday life with a touch of humor and wit. "The Happy Family" exemplifies his style and showcases his talent for storytelling within a single image.
In this painting, Steen depicts a bustling household filled with various members of a family engaged in different activities. The composition is lively and intricate, presenting a chaotic yet harmonious scene. Steen's attention to detail is evident as he portrays each character with unique facial expressions and body language, adding depth and personality to the painting.
At the center of the composition, a jovial couple sits at a table, surrounded by their children and other relatives. The scene is filled with laughter, lively conversation, and playful interactions. The family members engage in various activities, such as eating, drinking, playing music, and engaging in games. Steen's use of vibrant colors and intricate brushwork further enhances the joyful atmosphere of the painting.
Despite the apparent chaos, "The Happy Family" also carries a deeper message. It serves as a reminder of the importance of familial bonds and the joys of shared moments. Steen's portrayal of the diverse characters and their interactions reflects the complexities and dynamics of family life. Through his portrayal, he highlights both the humorous and challenging aspects of domesticity.
"The Happy Family" is a testament to Jan Steen's skill as a painter and his ability to capture the essence of human experience. It continues to be appreciated for its rich storytelling, vibrant imagery, and its ability to evoke a range of emotions from viewers. The painting stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of art that celebrates the joys and challenges of family life.

Named after the rich cinnamon color of the body, this is a resident bird in India, but migratory for short distances within the country though. They are also found outside of India.
The female is more shy of the pair and they are less seen compared to the males. The area has several males and females - the males are seen flying a lot, but the female tends to stay with the nest. I am sure there is a nest nearby - but since the reeds are pretty tall, its hard to get a sight of the chick. This is also one of the few shots I have of the female in flight.
Its preferred habitat is reed beds on the edges of shallow lakes, wet rice / paddy fields, swamps and marshy areas surrounded by reeds.
Thank you so much for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
Within an hour of laying down my new organic slug bait, it was being devoured by this cute critter and also hauled away by ants to their nest. Another poor investment, and all for the sake of a few marigolds which were half eaten by slugs the first night in the ground!!

(War)
Friend only to the undertaker
Ooh, war

Induction, then destruction
Who wants to die?

(War)
It's got one thing and that's the undertaker
Ooh, war
Has shattered many a-young man's dreams
Made him disabled, bitter, and mean
And life is much too short and precious
To spend fighting wars each day
War can't give life
It can only take it away
Oh, war!
(H'uh) Good God, y'all
(What is it good for?)
Absolutely (nothin')
Say it, again

Whoa (h'uh) whoa-whoa, Lord

Friend only to the undertaker
Woo!
Peace, love and understanding tell me
Is there no place for anything else?
They say we must fight
To keep our freedom
But Lord, knows there's got to be
A better way
Oooh
(War)
God, y'all! (uh)
(What is it good for?)
You tell 'em! (h'uh)
Say it, say it, say it
(War)
Good God (h'uh) now, h'uh
(What is it good for?)
Stand up and shout it
(Nothin'!)

Los tiburones cebra (Leopard Shark en Thailandia) son nocturnos y pasan la mayor parte del día inmóviles en el fondo marino. Por la noche cazan activamente buscando moluscos, crustáceos, pequeños peces óseos y ocasionalmente serpientes marinas dentro de las cavidades y huecos de los arrecifes. Aunque son criaturas solitarias durante la mayor parte del año durante la estación de apareamiento forman grandes concentraciones. El tiburón cebra es ovíparo: las hembras depositan varias docenas de cápsulas de huevos, que aferra a estructuras subacuáticas con filamentos adhesivos.
Los tiburones cebra (Tiburon leopardo en Tailandia) son inofensivos y no representan una amenaza para los humanos, son muy populares en acuarios públicos y en excursiones de buceo. La World Conservation Union tiene catalogada la especie como Vulnerable en todo el mundo. La principal amenaza para la especie es la pesca comercial que se realiza en toda su zona de distribución (excepto en Australia) debido a su carne, aletas y el aceite de su hígado. En los últimos años las estadísticas sugieren que su población se encuentra en retroceso.
Zebra shark (Leopard Shark in Thailandia) are nocturnal and spend most of the day motionless on the seabed. At night, they actively hunt for mollusks , crustaceans , small bony fish, and occasionally sea snakes within the cavities and hollows of reefs . Although solitary creatures for most of the year, they form large aggregations during the mating season. Zebra sharks are oviparous: females lay several dozen egg capsules, which they attach to underwater structures with adhesive filaments.
Zebra sharks are harmless and pose no threat to humans. They are very popular in public aquariums and on diving excursions. The World Conservation Union lists the species as Vulnerable worldwide. The main threat to the species is commercial fishing throughout its range (except in Australia) for its meat, fins, and liver oil. In recent years, statistics suggest that its population is declining.
