This was very beautiful and idyllic view in Ichetu

This was very beautiful and idyllic view in Ichetucknee Springs State Park. Calm and slowly flowing river with lots of turtles and birds. Very peaceful. A lot like a scene from fairy tale.
The park is in Florida, USA.

🇫🇮 Today is the independence day of Finland!

🇫🇮 Today is the independence day of Finland! 🇫🇮
To celebrate the day here is very typical (summer) view in Finland - The Land of Thousand Lakes. Even though the real amount of lakes is actually about 188 000. This one is lake Päijänne which is the second largest lake in Finland. Location is western side of Tehinselkä, the largest open water area of Päijänne.

This one is Red Canyon in Eilat, Israel. It is getting so cold, wet and dark here in Finland so I am looking for some relief from my photos. Even though we visited this place in end of January it was very warm for us. There were also very much light which actually made photographing this amazing place quite difficult. Red Canyon is a lot of this kind of narrow passes, many ladders to climb the walls up or down and balancing on the edge of the rocky walls and more. Very nice hike and definitely a place to visit if you end up close to this.

Judith, very warm thank you for giving us excellent advises during our stay in your interesting and beautiful country! 😊

This is Black-mandibled (Yellow-Throated) Toucan.

This is Black-mandibled (Yellow-Throated) Toucan. They were regular visitors in our backyard of our Airbnb house at San Miguel, Alajuela, Costa Rica. This bird obviously has incredible beak and strong colors which makes it look like a toy or cartoon character rather than real animal. To multiply the effect the bird makes very strange and comical moves by pointing the beak upwards and then veeery slowly tilts his head left and right moving it in kind of figure of eight. They probably were looking for something to eat or maybe checking the sky for predators, but for us it looked very funny and unreal. 😊

Supermarine Spitfire is beautiful and iconic warbi

Supermarine Spitfire is beautiful and iconic warbird from the ww2 era. This one is flying in the Jämi Fly In & Airshow event which has unfortunately been on pause for few (too many) years. It is rare to see these wonderful machines in the air here in Finland therefore I hope the the event will be brought back to life soon.

This is one of the photos available in the shops.

I compared Ringed kingfisher to Kookaburra so here is photo of the latter. More precisely Laughing kookaburra. These guys don't dive into water as can been seen from the beak.
Surprisingly the two species actually are related like I guessed!

Photo is flashback from 2017 and this was one of the pair which lived close to our house. Kookaburras appear to let humans get quite close and sharing the garden does not bother them.

These guys don't care about proximity limits.

White-faced / Capuchin monkeys having quality time during the hottest hours of the day.

Longer trail of this biological reserve was closed due to some research project, but the shorter trail (about 1,5km) gave us plenty to see.

I have to reconsider my earlier comment about the speed of the sloths. That is because these three-toed (fingered) sloths aaaaaaaaarrrre reeeaaaaalllly sloooooooooooooow.

The cause of the slowness has to be either the increased amount of the fingers (+1) or vegan diet. Investigation continues.

Nevertheless these very strange animals seem to be enjoying their easy living with a permanent smile on their face. Pura Vida!
Even though the moss and most likely huge amount of insects living in their fur seems to be a little itchy.

This blue dude with cool mohawk is probably Ringed kingfisher. It was a lot larger than I expected a kingfisher to be. Especially the beak was big surprise to be so huge and very strong. It and actually the whole bird reminded a lot like a Kookaburra in Australia.

This one appeared while visiting Bogarin Trail in La Fortuna. That place is excellent to see many different wild animals practically in the center of the town. It's also very interesting to see how the nature takes the land back completely in just 25 years. More about this later.

It is very nice to have a lot of colors around! And sunlight.
It is fun to photograph little creatures when those are not as tiny as they are at home.
