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.

European Goldfinch m. [Carduelis carduelis] on a beech tree in my garden.
It was a cold and windy morning in the garden, but the snow was just melting as the sun came out. Lots and lots of wee birdies flitting around the trees and the feeders.
Lovely to sit in the sun, out of the biting north wind, watching the comings and goings of goldies, robins, chaffinches, dunnocks, blue-, great-, and coal-tits.
In my garden,

cuz there's so much I want to say ...Remember.... Silent, and Listen, are spelled with the same letters....
LUCKY OPPORTUNITY to photograph one of these Slim and Savage predators, active by day and night, it relentlessly tracks down its prey by scent. It often kills prey more than twice its size, biting deeply into the neck.

Despite the heat wave and biting flies, you can drive your 4x4 vehicle right on up to the ocean here (as long as it's for fishing). Note the enormous concrete and iron lookout towers from WW2 in the background, where soldiers would watch for enemy German watercraft.

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.
Well, this guy was either very clever or strangely confused....fishing for something...money? That other person’s cell phone? A compliment??? I never found out.
Despite being dear friends, she is thinking about biting his nose off to spite his face ;-)

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!
Coming up to Christmas, I thought most of the seals would have set back out to sea by now but there were plenty of youngsters, cows and bulls hanging out.
Weather was surprisingly mild too. Usually there's a biting cold wind out there.

With a colorful combination of locomotives BNSF train H-STLTUL4-18A crosses the Meramec River at Times Beach. The 3666 foot, 64 car, 7951 ton train bound for Tulsa doesn't seem to bother the fisherman or the fish under the bridge as the fish were biting pretty good that morning.
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!
The temperature was hovering near the 10 degree mark and I still remember how my hands hurt from the cold. The sunset has occured and the blue hour has arrived, a westbound blows for a distant crossing and I set up for the shot. An ailing Conrail GP40-2 with a bad turbo, cycles smoke skyward as her train struggles to make time toward Toledo in the biting wind . . . Oak Harbor, Ohio on January 6, 1979.
A year ago on "that" beach in Northumberland and one of the most colourful sunrises I've seen there. Unusually, I was also the only one on the beach - perhaps a reflection of the bitingly cold and strong wind. This certainly made any picture taking a challenge and any sharp images that would pass scrutiny from pixel-peeping out of the question. Still quite dark at this point and even high ISO and bracing the tripod resulted in few useable images. Oh, and I'd forgottne my ultra-wide lens that would have been needed to capture the full reflection too! Still. a nice memory of a beautiful piece of nature.
A muskox (umingmak, bearded one in the Inuit language), with a cloud of hungry blood sucking insects surrounding it like an aura of bad luck. The naturalist with us (from the U of AK Toolik Field Station) thought this was probably a male who had lost his top spot in a social group, and was destined to wander the tundra alone until he rejoins his herd later.
Thanks to Tom Blandford for his wonderful postings of these bovines over the years that have piqued my interest in them.
A candid street photo of a young man who successfully holds concurrently positions of the lifeguard and a happy fisherman. He catches fish while there is nobody to save. Or maybe he is off-duty or the park beach is closed for swimming due to approaching hurricane or just the summer rain. Anyway it's biting. Well, is he going to catch a lovely blonde mermaid? May the good luck be with him.

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
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!
