ACTIVE BIRDS, and not common as the name suggests, are found in dense forests and mangroves, I found them very hard to photograph as to their jerky fast movements, love seeing them.

THANK YOU for your visit and kind comments, will soon be looking at your latest posting, which I very much enjoy, being transported around the world from the comfort of my armchair. Keep warm, safe, and well, God bless you ............Tomx
Small stream in the outskirts of Trondheim. Dense forest and no ND filter was needed. In a couple of weeks this place is probably going to be even better with all the autumn colors.
It has always been my wish to photograph the secretive Sora head-on showing its laterally compressed body, which allows it to slip and weave easily through dense vegetation. However, seeing the Sora in the open is notoriously difficult.
I was justifiably excited when I spotted this Sora walking cautiously along the path. And when it turned and looked straight into the lens for a brief instant, the angle, light and position were just right, as seen in this picture. Luck!
I am glad that I was ready and took advantage of that opportunity.

It's simply disgusting what's in the frame at 12mm... 😆... there's always a ratty body part in the picture, for crying out loud!
Congéia (Congea Tomentosa) is a woody, branched vine, known worldwide for its decorative flowering.
Native from Asia, particularly Burma, India, Malaysia, Thailand.
At the end of Winter and early Spring the Congéia blooms, showing numerous white flowers, small and discreet, but each surrounded by three helix-shaped bracts, very showy and durable, which change color gradually, from pink to purple and subsequently to gray, over several weeks. Flowering is so dense and abundant that you can hardly see the foliage.
As a vine tropical, enjoys the heat and does not tolerate frost or snowfall. In temperate countries it must be protected in greenhouses during winter.

I love to take pictures of this vine, because even when the little flowers fade the bracts remain with the beautiful pink color and velvety texture, wich enchants me so much.
I never saw the grey color mentioned in the information above and can't give my opinion of the end of blooming. I bet it doesn't be ugly... but my opinion doesn't count because you know that I love flowers, a lot!
In the first photo you can see few little flowers still alive, in the second they already fade.

The Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus), also known as the Steller's sea lion and northern sea lion, is a near-threatened species of sea lion in the northern Pacific. It is the sole member of the genus Eumetopias and the largest of the eared seals (Otariidae). Among pinnipeds, it is inferior in size only to the walrus and the two species of elephant seals. The species is named for the naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller, who first described them in 1741. The Steller sea lion has attracted considerable attention in recent decades, owing to significant and largely unexplained declines in their numbers over an extensive portion of their northern range in Alaska. (Wikipedia)
We saw several groups of these sea lions during our trip, but these two little islands were the most densely packed. The animals at the junction of the rocks would periodically be washed over by crashing waves.

Tropaeolum, Flame Creeper, grows up trees or through hedges spreading it's dense red flowers and bright green leaves. (Indeed it will climb over and up just about anything.) Seen here growing through a cropped leylandii hedge. It moves about the garden so we are never sure where it is going to appear.
I really appreciate any Views, Faves and Comments and I will try to visit your sites in due course. Thank you so much.

GAMBIA TOUR. Strongly associated with forest thickets and dense vegetation, feeding from the ground keeping in the dark shady spots, making a good image very difficult, this was the best of very many shots, and was pushing my luck at 1/45 shutter speed, but got lucky!. They seem to bounce along, only making very short flights. They are beautiful just the same.

The dense tree canopy above the canal and along the lake edge makes for some beautiful light especially in the early hours. Black-crowned Night-heron stepping into the some light.

A dense fog in October 2018 settled upon the area and made everything look so cool i had to get out and get some shots.
The fog on the lake was accented by the silhouette of the reeds in the foreground.

This Bald Eagle was in a tall dead tree about 50 yards away in a dense fog. I cropped the picture a bit, and tried to tease out a few details in processing.
Seen on my first and only trip to Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge.
A dense fog warning was the forecast for the next morning. So I set my alarm clock to wake up early around 5am and headed down to this spot near the River. A walkway with some light poles that stretch for quite awhile. The Missouri River is just to the right side of the frame where there is a good size drop-off. It was eerily quiet and spooky to say the least.

Wikipedia states: "Anthurium is a genus of herbs often growing as epiphytes on other plants. Some are terrestrial. The leaves are often clustered and are variable in shape. The inflorescence bears small flowers which are perfect, containing male and female structures. The flowers are contained in dense spirals on the spadix. The spadix is often elongated into a spike shape, but it can be globe-shaped or club-shaped. Beneath the spadix is the spathe, a type of bract. This is variable in shape, as well, but it is lance-shaped in many species. It may extend out flat or in a curve. Sometimes it covers the spadix like a hood. The fruits develop from the flowers on the spadix. They are juicy berries varying in color, usually containing two seeds."

A small wild cat found in the woody areas, forests and wetlands and places with dense vegetation. They are - I think - more common than we see them. Wikipedia says they are common across parts of Asia. The animals are quite active during the dusk, dawn and nights and rarely seen during daytime.
These animals are almost twice the size of a domestic cat and always sighted in the wild. They hunt rodents, quails, small ground birds, squirrels, reptiles and maybe smaller raptors as well. I have seen this cat many times, but this time, spent 45 minutes with it. It didn't mind our presence and let us get close, but the light was poor and I had difficulty holding the heavy lens for long at low shutter speed.
Many thanks in advance for your views and kind feedback.
04-May-2022: about turism: my perplexities towards a future with more and more bans and more and more over-taxes.
Lake Bohinj and the much more famous Lake Bled are close (less than 20 km) but the second has a mass tourism now rooted, while the first is expanding its tourist reception in recent years, coming out (unfortunately) from the shadow of Bled, that was a lightning rod for peaceful and symbiotic nature lovers.
I am totally against mass tourism because it transforms a relaxing resort into an area where it is difficult even to access it.
Around Lake Bled, even at a certain distance, there are only paid parking lots, which come to cost 6 euros per hour (about the most decentralized and in May...) that, certainly, leave perplexed about the "tourist selection" that "they" would like to implement (high-end tourism) and, in general, certainly drive away the tourist in search of nature and not restaurants, bars, concrete lake-front and crowd baths.
The naturalist tourist should not feel like a tourist in Nature, which is a single great asset of humanity and that only administratively is divided between various Countries, while in Bled, as in Rimini or Cortina d'Ampezzo, they make you feel not only tourist, but also guest, sometimes unwanted if you spend little.
As tourism increases, so do the bans, because unfortunately mass tourism includes many people who don't know anything about Nature and generally only go to very touristy places to make themselves of...people, sowing dirt and ignorance wherever they move.
The imposition of prohibitions/bans to limit the "damage from mass tourism" affects everyone indiscriminately, including locals and naturalists who have always had a symbiotic relationship with these places, thus making them become inhospitable, at least to those seeking pure contact with nature itself.
Of course this happens all over the world, but it should be condemned.
We already pay State taxes for the maintenance of the slice of Nature that falls within our administration, tourist surcharges, exploiting market laws that should be verified and contained, are for the most part unconstitutional, as well as several prohibitions that deprive access and use of public property.
With the money that the tourist municipalities pocket they could very well implement a targeted prevention (controls by foresters, cameras, ad hoc fences for areas subject to micro-pollution...) rather than closing everything and then de-empowering themself on the maintenance of roads and areas (more and more numerous), thus going to save further, starting from the basic taxes that we pay to also have access to given areas.
I can understand that you tax parking at high altitude to maintain the roads, but the amount of the payment should be directly proportional to the expenses that must be incurred to ensure accessibility, not by putting prices at random and with increases of 200% from one year to the next.
I have always appreciated the fact that Slovenia, thanks also that it is not densely inhabited and has a modest tourism (except precisely Bled, Postojna Caves and the Coast), guarantees a wide accessibility and use of its territories and I hope it can continue, limiting the prohibitions and parking lots everywhere.
Among the dense darkness
the world was black: nothing.
When with a sudden jerk
straight shape, curve shape
he brings the flame to life.
Glass, oak, illuminated,
What joy of being they have,
in light, in lines, be
in living gloss and vein!
when the flame goes out,
fugitive realities,
that shape, that color,
They're running away.
Do they live here or in doubt?
a nostalgia slowly rises
not of the moon, not of love,
not infinity. Nostalgia
of a vase on a table.

Male steenbok eating tender shoots hidden in dense cover. Even with the stem over part of his face, I chose this image because I got greater detail in this one shot than any other one, I took of this minute animal.
Steenbok resemble small Oribi, standing 45–60 cm (16"-24") at the shoulder. Their pelage (coat) is any shade from fawn to rufous, typically rather orange. The underside, including chin and throat, is white, as is the ring around the eye. Ears are large with "finger-marks" on the inside. Males have straight, smooth, parallel horns 7–19 cm long. There is a black crescent-shape between the ears, a long black bridge to the glossy black nose, and a black circular scent-gland in front of the eye. The tail is not usually visible, being only 4–6 cm long.
The steenbok (Raphicerus campestris) is a common small antelope of southern and eastern Africa. – Wikipedia
