Re: Share your photography!
Don't rub salt in the wound! 
For such ceremonial shots, you need the sun, otherwise even a DSLR with its large sensor and high ISO will not allow you to get a decent result without Photoshop.
And this bird flies to me rarely and only in the rain.
Regards.

That was certainly not my intention. I thought you may also be interested in those bird facts: you were/are seemingly lucky to have spotted that specimen in the UK, so your shot is in itself a great feat. I like that bird, but I never noticed the variations in its singing mentioned in the article. I will need to listen more carefully.
EDIT: not sure why I assumed your shot was taken in the UK. I still like your hoopoe pic.

Re: Share your photography!
Just have to share this one because it was so colorful and tasty!
Top: Green beans with sauteed almonds and scallions
Bottom: Russet potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, rutabaga, leeks on a bed of brown rice with a touch of barley and hato mugi (special Japanese type of barley).
These days my main oils are coconut and olive.
Everything organic except for the rutabaga . . .

Re: Share your photography!
Plants are eaten by Buddhist monks, because they think that plants do not think. They tend to believe that consuming plants is less harmful than eating animals, as plants are not considered sentient beings capable of suffering in the same way animals are. However, those monks, who practice not-thinking, have to perform special rituals before eating not-thinking plants.

Re: Share your photography!
Plants do not "think". Plants respond to external stimulus and are not capable of intentional action.
As to what you think . . . it is truly an alternate reality . . .
