Was going to post in previous thread when I noticed we are due for a new one.
Taken on my Ricoh GR II with light edits and crop in Lightroom mobile
i hope the lil one is well.
I do love the orange-reddish-yellow gradient on the chest. Looks like a flame.
Pixel 3. Near the Exploratorium at Pier 17. Totally forgot to take a photo of the plaque to remind me what this structure represents.
Beautiful, vibrant colors!
Poor thing. I see dozens of these near where I live.
That is so cool. We have no birds like that here.
That’s a great shot - gotta love fog.
Thanks! 
The place is perfectly magical, pretty much our current favourite. Either it’s mystically foggy or stunningly beautiful. The free-roaming cows are like wandering spirits in the midst of it. Hardly any people there. The quietest place I’ve ever been. We sat there once, just marvelling and all of a sudden, we heard something that sounded like a landing glider - we turned to find that a medium-sized bird landed beside us. Lovely experience for us city folk… 
(taken 2019, same phone, and 2016, S8+)
I can read the title of the plaque, it says it’s a buckyball, and a google search reveals this:
https://ethw.org/Discovering_the_Buckyball
" A buckyball is a molecule called Buckminsterfullerene. Composed of 60 carbon atoms formed in the shape of a hollow ball, buckyballs have, as yet, little practical use, although they do make up nanotubes, which have some uses."
I love me some good landscape photography. Very nice.
@andrewmelder You’re in Perth aren’t you?
That’s a Rainbow Lorikeet, I am lucky enough to have a couple of trees in my yard that produce a fruit they like, so I get lots of them here in Brisbane. Apparently Perth has it’s own population of them now, but it’s introduced. Are they common in Perth?
I have never been that close to one, usually they stay high in trees, and are very fast moving.
They are also very noisy. There is a supermarket near me that has a massive tree in the car park. They like to roost in that tree overnight, and there would easily be a thousand of them all calling at once. If you park near the tree at dusk the sound is deafening. Literally put your finders in your ears deafening.
Yep, Perth here. I don’t see them often yet. Around my house we have a lot of Australian Ringnecks and Galahs.
Completely unrelated, but maybe interesting:
Where is that at? It looks great!
Thanks. It’s in Fort Worth, Texas going across the Trinity River.
Cool. I lived in Dallas about 15 years ago. But, never went around Ft Worth too much except for downtown and the Stockyards.
