Grey heron (3 of 3).

The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is a long-legged predatory wading bird of the heron family, Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and parts of Africa. It is resident in much of its range but some populations from the more Northern parts migrate southwards in autumn. A bird of wetland areas, it can be seen around lakes, rivers, ponds, marshes and on the sea coast. It feeds mostly on aquatic creatures which it catches after standing stationary beside or in the water or stalking its prey through the shallows. Standing up to 1 m tall, adults weigh from 1 to 2 kg (2.2 to 4.4 lb). They have a white head and neck with a broad black stripe that extends from the eye to the black crest. The body and wings are grey above and the underparts are greyish-white, with some black on the flanks. The long, sharply pointed beak is pinkish-yellow and the legs are brown.

Rook (Corvus frugilegus).

nobody@ipernity.com (Phil) — Wed, 15 May 2019 11:21:55 +0000

Phil has posted:

The rook (Corvus frugilegus) is a member of the family Corvidae in the passerine order of birds. It was given its binomial name by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. The binomial is from Latin; Corvus for "raven" and frugilegus is Latin for "fruit-gathering" from frux, "fruit" and legere, "to pick". The English name is ultimately derived from the bird's harsh call. Rooks are distinguished from similar members of the crow family by the bare grey-white skin around the base of the adult's bill in front of the eyes. The feathering around the legs also looks shaggier and laxer than the carrion crow. The juvenile is superficially more similar to the crow because it lacks the bare patch at the base of the bill but it has a thinner bill and loses the facial feathers after about six months.

Fast food.

A jackdaw carrying what appears to be a slice of brown bread back to it's nest on nearby buildings. The bird was about 30 metres / 33 yards from my shooting position according to the EXIF information so I had to crop the photo quite a lot to get a reasonably large image with my 200mm lens, therefore the resolution is not quite perfect. I used "continuous high speed" (10 frames per second) shooting mode and "continuous auto-focus" with an exposure compensation of +1.7 to avoid the bird becoming a silhouette against the bright blue sky.

➽ The Augsburg Eiskanal (ice channel) is an artificial whitewater river in Augsburg, constructed as the canoe slalom venue for the 1972 Summer Olympics in nearby Munich.
The first artificial whitewater course of its kind, it introduced the sport of canoe slalom (using decked canoes and kayaks) to the Olympic Games. The route doesn't require electrically operated pumps and therefore has low operating costs. Because of the rounded internals and the flat bottom, the risk of injury for athletes is low.

The Eiskanal is part of the historic Augsburg channel system and became known as the Eiskanal (ice channel), since it was used to deflect floating ice away from the waterworks facility, protecting its equipment. Read more on Wikipedia (engl.)

this year - 2014 -
Jim Donovan ( one of the founders of Rusted Root ) asked us a question -
"What is your word for 2014?"
- above are all the words sent to Jim .. mine .. it's in there .. to be used daily ..
- from an email sent by JD --

"Some friends and I have been doing this tradition for a couple of years with surprising success and I thought you might be interested in getting in on the fun. Basically, the idea is to come up with just one word... (Yep, only one!) that most sums up what you would like to bring to your life in the new year.

Personally, I use my word as a reminder each day through the year just to keep me on track. For example, two years ago my word was "Clear". During that year, I made it a priority each and every day to find ways to improve clarity in my words, intentions and actions. Though it was just one simple word, I found the effects of remembering it each day to be profoundly positive and that my increased clarity carries through with me to this day. I think of it as an easy way to make meaningful change for myself."
Jim said to share this --

so, I am -- with all my Friends and those I've yet to meet .. may 2014 be a year you will always remember because of the Good energies you received and gave out.
