back to the Norwegian fjords...
this one is from an overlook high above the Aurlandsfjord. technically speaking, this image may leave some things to be desired (hard to shoot almost directly into the sun), but it was an incredible vista into the curving contours of the fjord. those specks down below in the water are boats, giving a sense of the scale. you can only reach here via a tortuous nail biting drive on a narrow mountain road...
the overlook called Aurland Lookout is an unlikely wooden structure jutting out straight on top of the water (see below).
thank you all for all your visits!!
Iguanas are everywhere, running wild in Miami. Zoo habitats make a great home for them. I think iguanas are beautiful and amazing. Although, I have enough insect predators in my yard so I'm glad they don't come to my neck of the woods. It's too cold for them in the winter here.
I have to admit I am glad I was encouraged to take a few shots of these two. I wasn't going to raise the camera but people all around were asking why I wasn't taking any photos of them. I replied I don't know, with a shrug. I suppose I could. So I did and this one, where the male is lovingly biting the females neck spike is my favorite from the series.
Just after I took a few shots, the female walked away with her handsome boa in tow. I guess they wanted a bit more privacy. This image was taken at Zoo Miami, Miami FL.
Have a wonderful Tuesday and happy snapping.
cuz there's so much I want to say ...Remember.... Silent, and Listen, are spelled with the same letters....
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.
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!
Hi Flickr Friends of the Lake Constance,
everything started so harmlessly. A day like any other. Officer Meier and Officer Schulze take a break and fish for lunch. For a long time nothing happened in the small town. Rabbits erupted and provided for snaking lines of motorists. Escort for the toads given. Police festival is still coming, so quite normal stress on the area.
But this morning everything was different. What was the body doing at the bottom of the lake? Damn, said Schulze, you do not even have your rest during your lunch break. First stay relaxed, Meier said. Let's wait, maybe the guy can only hold his breath for a really long time. So they did. But even after half an hour no change. The guy seemed dead. Schulze noticed a detail. The suspect had a toaster under his arm. Damn it. He's probably over. Shit Meier, Schulze shouted, there's something biting...
Sequel follows...
Happy weekend and beware of the lake!

Here I am, back at my favorite sunset spot in Harpswell, Maine. It was one of those evenings when I was trying to decide if I should continue to wait. I did wait and got this scene. A bonus was there were very few biting insects.
Bei Bei, the one year old male cub, is playing with his mother, Mei Xiang at the National Zoo in Washington, DC.
Two badger siblings rolled and tumbled in the grass, snarling and biting, practicing to be the tough-as-nails, fearsome adults that they almost are. This was play. They appeared to be having fun.
I don't know whether badgers are impervious to pain, but consider this: rattlesnake venom, which kills or disables other small mammals, has no visible effect on an adult badger. Unless it is bitten on the nose. Then it may lose consciousness for a few minutes... before waking up and carrying on as if nothing has happened.
Very few predators will tangle with a badger. Powerful diggers, they can escape into the ground at breathtaking speed - digging backwards while facing their enemy! Look at the teeth and claws on display here... and keep in mind that this is a juvenile badger. This is its "cute" phase.
More to come...

a biting wind called for a bacon bap from the little café next to the car park when we were back to the car
another mile walked to add to my total.....
Swarmed by biting insects this beautiful monitor shifted position, rubbed her face along the rock and resettled for another attempt at sleep. It was short lived. No sooner had she closed her eyes when midge and mosquito returned - and bought a horde of friends and family with 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.
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.
Here we see ABe4/4 motor vehicles 54 & 55 working the 11:49 service from St Moritz to Tirano on the afternoon of the 23/2/20. The train was captured passing through Ospizio Bernina.
Accessing this spot from the station was very challenging on this visit and often dangerous underfoot due to the deep snow combined with biting winds (not for the faint hearted).
A late April scene on Speyside, with conditions on a biting northerly wind ranging from snow, freezing rain and even sunshine occasionally, but not always in the desired place! On the late afternoon of 24th April 2023, Ivatt '2MT' heads away from Broomhill towards Grantown-on-Spey, finding a brief patch of sunlight as the shadows move quickly across the landscape.

This Yellow headed blackbird is surrounded by an insect swarm of midges. They look a lot like mosquitos, but fortunately are non-biting.
Things have been very busy for me lately. I'm sorry I'm not commenting and posting as much as I'd like. Don't give up on me, I'm hoping to be back on track soon. I really do appreciate all my contacts and your support and kind comments on my photostream. Thank you all!

A doe and two young bucks chose to rest under this trampoline for several hours. It was a warmer Spring day and they seemed to appreciate some quiet. They were shedding their Winter coats, including the fur on and in their ears. The only nagging issue was there were biting insects, perhaps deer flies, that exacted some stinging bites.
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...
