We headed to the coast early in the morning to search for bear activity on the tidal flats. Coastal brown bears (Ursus arctos), like this young male we encountered, forage for razor clams at extreme low tide. Silver Salmon Creek Lodge, Lake Clark National Park on the coast of Cook Inlet. Alaska. Conservation status: Least Concern
I went out to look at the lilies today and was lucky enough to come upon this Yellow Swallowtail digging right into the center of this Orange Lily!

My neighbor has a Prickly pear cactus (Opuntia Macrorhiza) that grows right near the end of their driveway. This variety of cactus is found in the Great Plains and as far east as Western Ohio, but I live in Northeastern PA. I was surprised to see it in full bloom, and a bumblebee digging right in to collect the pollen.
Thanks everyone for your views, awards, comments, invites and faves.
I was lucky enough to spot this fine Red Deer stag digging through the snow to get to the soft grasses below. You can see the snow being kicked up by it's front left hoof ..
Male Hoopoe trying to extract a cricket larvae withe the female looking on.
No idea how they tell there is one there, but once detected they really go to town with a rapid series of ground strikes to extract it.
Algarve Portugal.
Sometimes I think photography is what strikes you at the time. You just drive around until you see something interesting.
This was one of those moments. Usually these are yellow to orange in colour.
Happy Saturday
Wilson's Plover ~ (Charadrius wilsonia)
The Wilson's Plover is one of my favorite shorebirds to watch when they hunt. They scurry around at breakneck speeds, hunched over as they speed toward a meal (small crabs and insects) that is peeking its head up over the sand. Then they abruptly hit the brakes and pull the meal out.
Thanks for visiting!
Taken in our garden a couple of weeks ago and just right for the Smile on Saturday theme today - Combination of Flora and Fauna.

Sometimes I take a picture of something which seems very appealing to my eye, but then the result on my screen is disappointing. So I try to dig into that image to find what struck my eye and sometimes something which 'rebuilds' that first sensation appears.
This is what happened in the passage from the original picture below to the final result above.
(Maybe someone might find a vague connection between these words and S.Heaney or W. Wordsworth)

A volte fotografo qualche immagine che mi sembra particolarmente attraente, ma poi il risultato sullo schermo del computer è deludente.
Allora cerco di scavare dentro quell'immagine per ritrovare ciò che ha colpito il mio occhio e a volte alla fine compare qualcosa che 'ricostruisce' la mia sensazione iniziale.
Questo è appunto successo nel passaggio dalla foto originale qui sotto al risultato finale qui sopra.
(Anche se magari alcuni preferiscono l'originale)
This Lyrebird was busy digging underneath the Rhododendron and other trees at the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Park and was not particularly worried at the small group of watchers.
You can often find them busy scratching away in the undergrowth. Menura novaehollandiae. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyrebird
Suddenly I've discovered that there are no oystercatchers in my photostream on Flickr. So I dug in my archives and found heaps of photos. This is the Sooty Oystercatcher (Haematopus fuliginosus) digging for some other kind of food on the beach at low tide near Tidal River.
In an idyllic scene, an Alaska Brown bear digs for clams at low tide along the shore of Cook Inlet. This is a scene setting wide angle view with the bear reflected in the foreground and mountains with patches of snow and forests in the background. Cook Inlet, Alaska. Note all the little patches of mud dug up by the bear in its search.
