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,

Etosha is dry in the summer months when there is no rain and the animals head to the waterholes for water. Often on their return you will see altercations breakout. Most of the time they do not amount to much but occasionally they can get pretty rough. The two zebras biting in this image looked a little more serious. All turned out well though and they were soon on their way.
Wishing you a lovely and blessed Sunday !!
a bee (what else 😂), for a change in a different environment. no flowers...

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.

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.

"Open up and cast up to me your fish and glittering crabs! With my best bait I shall today bait the queerest human fish. My happiness itself I cast out far and wide, between sunrise, noon, and sunset, to see if many human fish might not learn to wriggle and wiggle from my happiness until, biting at my sharp hidden hooks, they must come up to my height- the most colorful abysmal groundlings, to the most sarcastic of all who fish for men. For that is what I am through and through: reeling, in raising up, raising, a raiser, cultivator, and disciplinarian, who once counseled himself, not for nothing: Become who you are!"
Egghead Mottlegill (Panaeolus semiovatus) Believe it or not these two pictures are the same mushrooms taken from different sides! I believe they are Egghead Mottlegill (Panaeolus semiovatus). The decayed side was facing a biting wind and was obviously exposed to the weather. They are usually found on horse and cow manure - these were on New Forest pony manure.
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!

I nearly fell off Y Lliwedd Bach fending off the swines.
Those are not birds in the sky, they are large flying, biting insects.

We had a brief respite from the storm lunchtime in so much as the sun broke out briefly so off I went for a stroll. The wind however was strong, biting and cold to the extent my eyes were watering too much to take any decent shots. When I got home I thought I’d experiment with a few macro shots in prep for next week’s Macro Mondays theme of ‘two’. This is just one of my experiments.
The structures on the right of the shot are the remnants of the railway which was built during the construction of the reservoir and they are usually at least partially submerged. High & dry, climate change sure is biting!
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.
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!

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.
THIS IS TWO PICTURES I PUT TOGETHER SIDE BY SIDE OF THE SAME CUB BITING THE ELECTRIC WIRE AND RIGHT AFTER HAVING DONE SO. (I know sometimes people don't like to read a long narrative.)
Some lessons have to be learned the hard way. Like in this instance where this cub decided to explore the post and electric wire that surrounds the inflatable jet boat we use to go up and down the river every day.
And as is obvious, this is exactly why there is hot wire around the boat. I'm sure you can imagine what curious and playful bears could do to an inflatable boat, LOL.
So we were standing out in front of our meal hut as a sow and her 3 cubs came up river towards us. Mom was in the water just slowly looking for salmon and her other 2 cubs were off to the right, out of the frame doing what cubs do, just exploring and doing cub business.
So this little guy decides to check out the post and wire as Tim, Dana and I just watched him with slight amusement saying "OK, don't do it little buddy, don't do it."
But as soon as those words came out of our mouths, you got it, he did it.
He bit the wire and then of course got zapped.
I decided to put these two pictures side by side together like this because most of the time no one really looks at the picture when I put one in the first comment box below. So I did it this way instead.
Tim, Dana and I were laughing pretty hard at this poor little guy's expense but you can be sure he won't be doing this again.
There are some things mamas can't teach their babies and they have to learn on their own, the hard way.
no bears were harmed in the making of this photo
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...
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!
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.
Taken 5 June 2019 at Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.
The final image from a much looked-forward-to trip back out to the west coast of Scotland with Iain (Highlandscape) today. With an (unusually) excellent forecast for the area between Torridon and Assynt we chose en-route to start at Torridon and work our way north. Mellon Udrigle became our target for the sunset; although facing generally east, we hoped for some colour on the snow-dusted mountains. It was a bracing (bitingly cold!) wind on the beach and a pleasant rather than spectacular sunset but it nicely capped off a very enjoyable day.
