Most pups tend to sleep off a rather large meal. This grey seal pup was very lively and a complete cutey... lots of engagement with the camera.
Donna Nook is a wonderful place to visit on the Lincolnshire coast. There tends to be a really biting cold wind coming in from the sea but you forget all that with the wonders of what is on that beach. My friend and I witnessed a birth and..... unfortunately lots of fighting between naturally protective mothers protecting their pups and males wanting their pick of who to mate with. Then of course there are the numerous pups who, when awake, will grace your camera with some lovely images.

Photographed in the Ndutu sector in the southeastern Serengeti in Tanzania .
On this trip we also had a few sightings of Lions in trees in Lake Manyara NP, a park that is famous for this behavior just like the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth NP in Uganda.
The reasons for this special behavior are not completely understood. There are several assumptions like escaping biting insects on the ground ...

A bull elk uses his antlers to scratch and drive off biting flies on a warm day in Estes Park, Colorado. The bull and his harem retreated into Lake Estes to cool off, but the flies continued to plague them. If you look closely, you can see a few of the flies on his upper leg and rump.
This shot was taken on the first day of our fifth trip during 2022. It has become an annual tradition to visit Rocky Mountain National Park for the elk rut.
In general, Vaska is indifferent to shoes (unlike our previous cats). But one of our guests wore knitted slippers, to which Vaska was clearly interested :-) HAPPY CATURDAY!
Thank you all for visits, faves and comments - greatly appreciated!
Despite being dear friends, she is thinking about biting his nose off to spite his face ;-)

Even though the heat, humidity and biting bugs are hell, summer walks in the woods are well worth it since the mushroom finds can be heavenly. Golden chanterelles taste as good as they look when cleaned up, with a rich buttery steak-like flavor, but without any calories!
Snow me the way, set me free
Send me to the tall, bare tree
That stands, beautiful, wild and old
Surrounded by the biting cold
That flows above the carpet of white
Leading the way to a thats bright
Don't forget to tend to your garden, lets it (t)end you in return. Talk about hangry!

✦ Calling all Little Shop of Horrors fans! (Or, any beastly botany buffs!) Now you, too, can have a mean, green mother from outer space, all to your own! Introducing the product of SEmotion and Genus' newest collaboration-- the Vorella companion! This fiery little plant comes with a total of six unique animation, and several beautiful colors for its chompy little head and its sprawling foliage. It features an optional dropper/pipette for feeding the little critter (very important, as it will get hangry without its daily dose of blood!), which when attached will automatically appear when choosing the feeding animation from the HUD!
Go get the Vorella Companion at the Collabor88 event ☆HERE☆, now until September 6th!
BugGuide identified this as a non-biting Midge. I hadn't seen one before but that's just me ;) I find it quite interesting that it has interesting mouth-parts, like two little arms with which I believe it uses to hold it's food while it eats it. It also has these very interesting and quite fuzzy antenna. Cute for a bug - in my opinion and ever better when it's a bug that doesn't bite me!
Taken 29 May 2023 in my yard near Wasilla, Alaska.
Non Biting Midge (family Chironomidae)
It had been running around on this leaf of the Mirror bush, thankfully it decided to rest for a few moments.

Despite the biting cold wind whipping across the water, these folk were determined to enjoy a tour around Portsmouth harbour on the catamaran.

Bright and long days and the sun has got some power to heat the air in the shelter of the wood, while the wind is biting cold and the frost is written in 2 digit figures, - It will be spring one day ...

A biting –19°C winter day in Hjerdalen, where the sun pushes through frost‑laden birch trees and turns the deep cold into something strangely warm. Soft shadows stretch across untouched snow, and every branch glows like it’s holding its own quiet ember. A perfect moment from the slopes above Sollia, captured in the golden calm of a Telemark winter.
Fun fact: In very cold and dry air—typically below –15°C—sunlight often creates stronger golden hues because tiny ice crystals scatter and reflect light more efficiently, giving winter scenes a surprisingly warm color palette.
More than a week ago I got a lot of bites that made me very itchy, could this kind of insect be the culprit?
I need to find a good remedy for this...
We must have chosen the coldest of days to visit the Seated Man at Castleton Rigg on the North York Moors. A biting, icy wind with snow on the tops!. It is a 3 metre high painted bronze statue, created by the artist Sean Henry, and commissioned by the David Ross Foundation. David Ross is the co-founder of the Carphone Warehouse and owns the land that the statue stands on. Some people say that it looks like Jeremy Corbyn!
**The Seated Man is on top of Castleton Rigg above Westerdale. It is visible from the road out of Castleton towards Hutton le Hole. You have to park on the roadside and walk approx. half a mile uphill to reach it.
Published in the Northern Echo “Walks” section 22-03-2018.
**AN UPDATE ON THE SEATED MAN. It has been moved to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, 7 miles south of Wakefield. The reason given was it had proved so popular that the increased footfall on the paths up to it was causing too much damage to the moorland.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.
I was warned to take my camera out of the car - the sandstorm was biting hard on skin and eyes, 5 minutes were just about enough. This image looks a lot more peaceful than the situation was.
Another scene from the Euryops daisy patch, where most of our action is now. At first glance, I thought I'd caught a mosquito, but something was missing...Seek indicated "non-biting midge", a different Dipteran for this Fly Day Friday. HFDF!
47593 'Galloway Princess' passes White Birch cottages near Ais Gill with the early morning EC working, the 06.50 5Z40, Appleby to Skipton. Behind, still shrouded in some mist, is Wild Boar Fell and I was the only one there to witness this working. Perhaps it was because the midges were biting so well this particular morning. Still itching hours later but the biting was worth the result. 6/8/2020
This coastal brown bear yearling is rolling on the ground and chomping on its claws while giving a glance in my direction. Probably looking to see what's making that shutter sound as the cameras click away around me, capturing some endearing moments in the life this young cub. Momma bear was very close by during this.
