Beautiful
Thanks for the rainbow

👍👍👍

I recorded it this evening.

Thanks Doogle. I've seen many pheasants on country walks but never been able to get a decent photo of one. But on this occasion, during a walk around a lake, we were sitting down eating our sandwiches when this fella came wandering past only a few yards away!

Lovely photo

Just enjoying a stroll.

Comm0dore-H,,
That's some name, I used to keep Tropical marine Fish. Mainly Lion Fish. But I knew that one as the Trigger Fish which is it normal name in English.
So the Hawai'ian's.
This name was too simple and boring for the imaginative Hawaiian people who love stories, legends, and myths. They decided to name it Humuhumunukunukuapua`a.

Don't you just love people with great imaginative brains.
Not an easy word to remember or even say.
When I saw the picture I thought that cannot be right that's a Trigger Fish. I never actually kept one of those I did keep Powder Blue's, Clown fish. Lion Fish and Banded Cat Shark's, Copper Banded Butterfly Fish and a Regal Tang. Used to have two tanks. That was when I was working and was able to afford to keep them. It becomes an expensive hobby. Even keeping the water to a specific Ph and running a Reverse Osmosis Unit. I used to sell the water to other people that had marine tanks at the time as well.
We also kept and showed Afghan Hounds we also breed them some years back, But have been completely pet free now for over 14 years. After loosing the last 2 Afghans it comes too hard on the emotions and we decided enough was enough.
No more. Plus we are now too if we took ion another dog they would out live us and that would not be fair on them.

Alessandro - Yes, fallow deer. Another here from my archives.

Beautiful photo CommodoreH, great Jumpugly.

Thanks for your kind words gentlemen. Believe it or not it's mostly a rattle can base, supplemented with lightly brushed facial features, and air-brushed highlights. The old less is more approach.

Nice job on the cat, looks very natural
I didn’t paint that bird, she came like that.

This is the state fish of Hawaii, the name is much bigger than the fish it’s a
