Ladybug on the window in my car

Thank you!I like it. The dry stick does it for me.
I thought that the dry stick was a nice detail that stood out from the stones. Glad that you also liked it😊
Ooooooooooohhhhh it's an iguana!
I swear, when I first saw this picture with blurry eyes, I thought the end of his muzzle was the top of his head, and the eye was looking from left to right, and I thought, "WTF! Is that a pachycephalosaurus????"
I remember the first time I saw King Kong, the character: in the awful movie, King Kong vs. Godzilla. I know now that it was awful, but to the 7-ish year old watching it on TV, it was AWESOME. I was transfixed. I can't know for sure, but I think it was the first movie that ever sucked me in. Giant monsters! A giant octopus! A battle atop Mount Fuji!
Later, I had a book on movie monsters, and I learned about the original King Kong. One night my parents woke me up at midnight to watch the original, I was so excited! And again, it enthralled me. I remember the approach of the 1976 film, and being so so excited, but being a little let down. But I understand that there is a lot of poking fun hidden in the script. I get now how funny it is that the oil company that evil Charles Grodin ran was called "Petrox".
With the recent Warner Brothers' MonsterVerse film series, I was delighted. A series of films just as campy as I remembered them, but with modern digital effects to make it come alive. Godzilla vs. Kong was exactly what I wanted. Light on plot, but heavy on monster fights! And I was seven years old again.
(Oh, one related story: a couple of years ago, for Hanukkah my daughter gave me a vintage 60's poster of King Kong vs. Godzilla. It was a moment where I looked at my child and thought, "Wow, you really are paying attention." I mean, I couldn't possibly have told the story about being bowled over by the movie as a child more than once or twice in her life, and she had held on to that and let that guide her to a gift that would be meaningful to really no one but me. It was such a thoughtful moment that makes me very proud of her.)
Been playing with this old shot of the Yoho River over in BC Canada. Nearly 50 years ago the left and center peaks were called The President and The Vice President. The one on the right Mt. Kerr. Given the recent woke decimation who knows what their current nomenclature is. I doubt that the old fire break bridge has survived this many years. I suspect it has been replaced with something which is no doubt safer and uglier. Anyways I've been trying to pull a digital image that resembles what I was able to get when I printed this, but without much success. So I went a different route and let some of the shadows go black. Good or bad here it is.

Birds mostly gone away migrating here - except pigeons thanks to us.
From 2017 on my 25th wedding anniversary trip to Scotland! Info says iPhone 6 - but that can't be right!
Neat pic. Visiting Scotland is high on my bucket list.
He certainly LOOKS like he's mocking me. Humph.
They’ll leave here too unless you put feeders out. Then you can get all sorts of wonderful winter visitors. We’re up over 40 unique species sightings since we moved here. The birds that migrate will migrate, but many stick it out through the winter and like the easy food source, and we like their company.
Yes. I’ve not been shooting much so just posting a few archive shots.
We're a regular Wild Kingdom today: cardinal, siskin, pigeon, mockingbird, junco, and an iguana!
EDIT: And a ladybug!

I almost put down the dog as well...but I said Wild Kingdom!
(Though I guess the iguana was probably in a zoo.)
