October and November are usually the best months to photograph Coyotes in Grasslands Park. The young are dispersing, seeking their own territory and learning how to hunt their own food; winter isn't far off and the prairie dogs are packing on all the calories they can before the inevitable cold weather and snow force them underground. This Coyote was trying to take advantage of the situation.
But it has much to learn about tactics. Driving home after a hike in the park (to see a Plains Bison skeleton that my pal Madonna had found), we watched this Coyote making a mad, random dash through the prairie dog town, expending its energy in futile chasing and lunging. I missed the chase shots, managing to stop around the same time the Coyote did, but was able to click this shot of a very frustrated and probably hungry predator that had just failed to nab a meal. It will have to learn stealth. Although it may look impossible, given the flat terrain and lack of cover in this photo, I've seen it done. There are ditches. Some sagebrush. Large boulders. Dips and furrows in the land. A successful predator will lie low, watch, listen, use its nose, and target an individual. I've seen it work, right here in this dogtown.
So what are the Coyotes eating these days, besides prairie dogs? I found out last week. Stay tuned. I'm going to take a few days to share more Coyote pics, and all will be revealed.

En traversant l’atmosphère, la lumière du Soleil en interagissant avec les molécules de gaz, principalement d’oxygène et d’azote, est un peu dispersée. Cette dispersion n’est cependant pas la même pour toutes les longueurs d’onde ou, plus simplement, pour les différentes couleurs de l’arc-en-ciel : elle est plus importante pour le violet et le bleu (petite longueur d’onde) et bien plus faible pour le rouge (grande longueur d’onde). C’est pourquoi le ciel est bleu durant la journée : le bleu est diffusé, mais pas le rouge.
Le matin et le soir, pour parvenir à nos yeux, la lumière du Soleil doit traverser une couche plus épaisse de l’atmosphère, environ 10 fois plus grande qu’à midi. La diffusion de la lumière de courte longueur d’onde (violet et bleu) est si importante que la lumière qui nous arrive est dépouillée de ces couleurs, et le ciel nous paraît alors rouge.
Une autre explication nous dit que le ciel est rouge le soir pour permettre aux romantiques d’observer de beaux couchers de Soleil.
À vous de choisir !

Its alway fun to see and photograph mongooses. ..and these little guys are so quick and alert. Check out the long claws of the one on the right.
Thanks for your visit and any comment!
======================
From Wikipedia: The common dwarf mongoose (Helogale parvula) is a mongoose species native to Angola, northern Namibia, KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, Zambia and East Africa. It is part of the genus Helogale, along with the Ethiopian dwarf mongoose.
Characteristics:
The common dwarf mongoose has soft fur ranging from yellowish red to very dark brown. It has a large pointed head, small ears, a long tail, short limbs and long claws. With a body length of 18–28 cm (7.1–11.0 in) and a weight of 210–350 g (7.4–12.3 oz), it is Africa's smallest member of the order Carnivora
Distribution and habitat:
The common dwarf mongoose ranges from East to southern Central Africa, from Eritrea and Ethiopia to the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in the Republic of South Africa. It inhabits primarily dry grassland, open forests and bushland up to an elevation of 2,000 m (6,600 ft). It is especially common in areas with many termite mounds, its favorite sleeping place. It avoids dense forests and deserts.
The common dwarf mongoose is important in the ecosystem as a seed disperser and a predator of pests.
Diet:
The diet of the common dwarf mongoose consists of insects (mainly beetle larvae, termites, grasshoppers and crickets), spiders, scorpions, small lizards, snakes, small birds, and rodents, and is supplemented very occasionally with berries.

After a misty morning, the power of the sun dispersing the clouds.
Dedicated to Cora! Thanks a bunch, you know why!
Ty42-107 crosses the Mszanka river on its way to Kasina Wielka. Weather that day was terrible: not very cloudy, no rain, no bright sun. The light was pale and dispersed, so I decided to shoot a silhouette as the most "readable" idea for a picture.
As most photographers know, clouds act as a light modifier by dispersing light... softening the otherwise harsh light. Try as I may, I can't think of a larger one. In some cases, they also can create dazzling displays.
In the late afternoon we were our way back from Peoria, Illinois, when we pulled of the highway to photograph some fields that were covered with yellow flowers. The clouds overhead were creating beans if light that were streaming down to the yellow fields below. In this shot, however, the edge of that yellow field is on the far right.

Danaé Brissonnet est une artiste internationale originaire du Québec, spécialisée dans les peintures murales, l’illustration, la fabrication de masques et les marionnettes. Ses œuvres sont dispersées dans le monde entier, au Canada, au Mexique, à Porto Rico, à Taiwan, en Colombie, en Belgique, en France, aux États-Unis, au Maroc, ainsi qu’en Inde, sur la Côte d’Ivoire et au Mali. Créant des mondes imaginaires pour le spectateur, son travail invite à une réflexion profonde sur le pouvoir du symbolisme, du mythe et de la métaphore. L’art de Brissonnet renforce les liens entre son travail, elle-même et le public dans lequel elle s’engage. Plus encore, son processus consiste à s’impliquer dans les communautés où elle peut raconter les histoires des peuples, de leur terre et de leur culture. Partout où Brissonnet crée, il est probable qu’il y ait un atelier, où elle peut partager son expérience et s’engager avec la communauté. Elle recherche des endroits où l’art n’est pas accessible et trouve important de travailler avec des enfants pour les inspirer à peindre leurs histoires avec les matériaux dont ils disposent. C’est le travail professionnel de Mme Brissonnet qui lui permet de se rendre dans ces zones de conflit et ces communautés rurales. Laissant une trace colorée, son art a un sentiment d’accessibilité car elle traduit visuellement son histoire et celle des autres.
After hiding under an umbrella during a snow storm for what seemed like ages, the snow finally stopped and clouds dispersed just in time for some colour to appear. In the company of Dave Burn.

After an early start and a short hike up Storr for sunrise things were looking bleak. Heavy cloud cover and I could hardly see the path but finally made it to the view point I was after. I missed sunrise but after a couple of hours the clouds dispersed and rays of light started breaking through. I popped the Nisi ND1000 on and tried to take advantage of the available light. Not quite the sunrise I was hoping for but this is the Isle of Skye after all.
Thanks for taking the time to view my image.
Les premières traces d'occupation trouvées dans la lagune remontent à la période romaine. Ces premiers habitants vivaient de la pèche et de l'exploitation des salines mais ceci restait un habitat dispersé et ne formait pas de centre urbanisé. Cette région faisait partie de l'empire romain. Ce sont les invasions barbares du Vème au VIème siècle qui poussent les populations à trouver refuge dans ces zones difficiles d'accès. Officiellement, c'est le 25 mars 421 que Venise est fondée bien que la date réelle soit probablement plus tardive. Des populations continuent à s'établir sur plusieurs îles de la lagune, dont certaines deviennent de véritables cités. La cité de Torcello devient le centre épiscopal de la région avec sa cathédrale fondée en 639. Ces différents centres d'habitations dispersés finissent par se fédérer et choisissent le Rialto, un quartier actuel de Venise, comme centre politique. Venise commence alors à devenir un véritable centre urbain majeur. La Basilique et/ou Cathédrale Saint-Marc, à Venise, est la plus importante de Venise. Elle fut fondée en 828 pour être construite au cours des années 829 à 832. La cathédrale fut reconstruite, en 976, après l'incendie qui ravagea le palais ducal. Depuis 1807 elle est devenue la cathédrale du patriarche de Venise. Formant un « S inversé », le Grand Canal divise Venise en deux avec, sur sa rive droite les quartiers de Cannaregio, de San Marco et de Castello, sur sa rive gauche ceux de Dorsoduro, de San Polo et de Santa Croce et constitue l’artère principale de Venise dans laquelle se jettent 45 petits canaux. Les rives du Grand Canal regorgent de trésors architecturaux avec plus de 170 édifices remarquables : des palais, des églises et des maisons construites entre le XIIIème et le XVIIIème siècle reflétant la richesse de la république vénitienne. Certains palais émergent littéralement de l’eau sans trottoir.
The first traces of occupation found in the lagoon date back to the Roman period. These first inhabitants lived from fishing and the exploitation of the saltworks but this remained a dispersed habitat and did not form an urbanized center. This region was part of the Roman Empire. It was the barbarian invasions from the 5th to the 6th century that pushed the populations to find refuge in these difficult to access areas. Officially, it is March 25, 421 that Venice is founded although the actual date is probably later. Populations continue to settle on several islands in the lagoon, some of which have become real cities. The city of Torcello becomes the episcopal center of the region with its cathedral founded in 639. These various scattered residential centers end up federating and choose the Rialto, a current district of Venice, as a political center. Venice then begins to become a real major urban center. The Basilica and / or Cathedral of Saint Mark, in Venice, is the most important in Venice. It was founded in 828 to be built during the years 829 to 832. The cathedral was rebuilt in 976 after the fire which ravaged the ducal palace. Since 1807 it has become the cathedral of the Patriarch of Venice. Forming an "inverted S", the Grand Canal divides Venice in two with, on its right bank the districts of Cannaregio, San Marco and Castello, on its left bank those of Dorsoduro, San Polo and Santa Croce and constitutes the main artery of Venice in which 45 small canals flow. The banks of the Grand Canal are full of architectural treasures with more than 170 remarkable buildings: palaces, churches and houses built between the 13th and 18th centuries reflecting the wealth of the Venetian Republic. Some palaces literally emerge from the water without a sidewalk.

We found a great dispersed camp spot on Figueroa Mtn and set up in a howling wind. Friday and Saturday there was little relief, but the tent trailer held up perfectly. Early Sunday morning we awoke to wonderful calm. When I exited the trailer I was amazed to find myself above an endless sea of fog. It came up to within a few hundred feet of elevation below us. At the fog swirled and ebbed, this little hill emerged.

M. Wulumuqi Rd. & Wuyuan Rd., Shanghai
At 16:45 on the 27th, a large crowd gathered outside the blockade area at the intersection of Middle Wulumuqi (Urumqi) Road and Wu Yuan Road. A traffic policeman tries to disperse the crowd so that a large number of police cars can enter the blockade area. The crowd surrounds him and were raising their smartphones to shoot videos at him in order to prevent him from committing violent acts.
Shortly afterwards, the police cars stepped in closer and the crowd had to give way. The police didn't actually plan to do it at daylight. They used the rest of the day to keep increasing the number of police officers until later that night to make the arrest.
On the night of 26 November 2022, a demonstration took place in Middle Wulumuqi (Urumqi) Road, Shanghai in memory of the victims of the fire in Wulumuqi (Urumqi), Xinjiang, the casualties of which were caused by the building being locked up as a result of absurd anti-epidemic measures which made it impossible for residents to escape. The police ended up arresting many of the demonstrators and loading three police buses:

On the evening of the 27th, a large area of the neighbourhood where the demonstration took place last night was suddenly blocked off, allowing only people to leave and not enter, perhaps to prevent further demonstrations from gathering there.. A large number of people gathered at the intersections of the blocked-off neighbourhoods, which gradually festered into a new demonstration.
The demonstration on the night of the 27th:

How lucky am I. I took these shots this afternoon from the patio in our garden. We get three pass through occasionally but this young buck buck came out twice, in a couple of hours, to feed on the dandelion stems. He never ate the yellow ones just the 'clock' stems. See pic 3. In pic 2 you can see that he has been rubbing his horns trying to get the velvet off. It looks sore but apparently it's not. He still has his winter coat
Roe deer exist solitary or in small groups, with larger groups typically feeding together during the winter. At exceptionally high densities, herds of 15 or more roe deer can be seen in open fields during the spring and summer. Males are seasonally territorial, from March to August. Young females usually establish ranges close to their mothers; juvenile males are forced to disperse further afield.

Le Shekhawati est la région du Rajasthan située au nord de Jaipur.
Les bourgades sont dispersées et rien ne laisse présager la présence de maisons magnifiquement décorées, trésors de l'époque aisée que connut cette région entre le XVIIIème siècle et le début du XXème siècle.
C'est dans ces bourgs cernés par les dunes de sable, que l'on trouve en effet les havelis. Ce sont de superbes manoirs. Ils appartenaient à de riches marchands, qui avaient fondé leur puissance économique, sur le commerce caravanier, parfois contrebandier, entre l'Inde du nord et ses régions occidentales (l'actuel Pakistan).
En témoignage de leur opulence, ils rivalisaient pour faire construire ces grandes et belles demeures.
The Shekhawati is the region of Rajasthan located north of Jaipur.
The villages are scattered and there is nothing to suggest the presence of beautifully decorated houses, treasures of the wealthy era that experienced this region between the eighteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century.
It is in these boroughs encircled by the sand dunes, that indeed one finds the havelis. These are superb mansions. They belonged to wealthy merchants who had based their economic power on the caravan trade, sometimes smuggling, between northern India and its western regions (present-day Pakistan).
As a token of their opulence, they competed to build these great and beautiful homes.
I liked how the sunlight passing thru this glass dispersed itself on the placemat, while the straw remained a solid shadow.

Cruising to Island of the Sun in Lake Titicaca, Bolivia (Elevation:12,507 ft).
We took one hour boat trip from the lakeside town of Copacabana to Isla del Sol (Island of the Sun) which is a beautiful place teeming with archaeological marvels. Over 80 ruins can be found sprawled across the rugged 70 sq km island – remnants of the Inca civilization that lived there in the 15th century AD – as well as approximately 800 indigenous families who live in small villages dispersed throughout the island.
The Isla del Sol is some 3500 meters above sea level with 4000 meters at its peak.
We saw a crowd of people in the road from a distance and realized they were all surrounding two Burrowing Owls perched on the fence photographing them. They dispersed before we got there. I stayed behind my car to shoot them. Drives me crazy when people crowd the poor owls.
The Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is a milkweed butterfly (subfamily Danainae), in the family Nymphalidae. It is perhaps the best known of all North American butterflies. Since the 19th century, it has been found in New Zealand, and in Australia since 1871 where it is called the Wanderer. It is resident in the Canary Islands, the Azores, and Madeira, and is found as an occasional migrant in Western Europe and a rare migrant in the United Kingdom. Its wings feature an easily recognizable orange and black pattern, with a wingspan of 8.9–10.2 centimetres (3½–4 in). (The Viceroy butterfly is similar in color and pattern, but is markedly smaller and has an extra black stripe across the hind wing.) Female Monarchs have darker veins on their wings, and the males have a spot called the "androconium" in the center of each hind wing[8] from which pheromones are released. Males are also slightly larger than female monarchs.
The Monarch is famous for its southward migration and northward return in summer from Canada to Mexico and Baja California which spans the life of three to four generations of the butterfly.
The Monarch’s wingspan ranges from 8.9–10.2 cm (3½–4 in.).The upper side of the wings is tawny-orange, the veins and margins are black, and in the margins are two series of small white spots. The fore wings also have a few orange spots near the tip. The underside is similar but the tip of the fore wing and hind wing are yellow-brown instead of tawny-orange and the white spots are larger.
The male has a black patch of androconial scales responsible for dispersing pheromones on the hind wings, and the black veins on its wing are narrower than the female’s. The male is also slightly larger.
A color variation has been observed in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and the United States as early as the late 19th century. Named nivosus by Lepidopterists, it is grayish white in all areas of the wings that are normally orange. Generally it is only about 1% or less of all monarchs, but has maintained populations as high as 10% on Oahu in Hawaii, possibly due to selective predation.
Like all insects the Monarch has six legs, however it uses only four of its legs as it carries its two front legs against its body.

Took yesterday off to get some pre-lockdown fresh air.
At the peak a week or so ago there were apparently 15-20 birds - with fighting in the car park over the 2 hour limit resulting in the police being called. Now they appear to have eaten most of the Yew berries the flock has most likely dispersed. The only clear shot I got of the 2-3 birds remaining, as the female came in to drink out of the cottage gutter.
Very dark and my settings weren't good, but nice just to see them.
Aujourd'hui promenade au coeur du sentier des mimosas à Tanneron.
Tanneron est la commune la plus orientale du Pays de Fayence à la limite des Alpes Maritimes et formée de nombreux hameaux dispersés.
Le massif est favorable à la culture, plus particulièrement du mimosa et de l’eucalyptus. Tanneron est la commune du Var, voire de France, la plus fleurie en matière de mimosa. Au sein de ses véritables « Forêts jaunes », l’odeur y est capiteuse et persistante.
La Route du Mimosa permet, de décembre à mars, de rallier Bormes-les-Mimosas à Grasse, au cours de corsos fleuris et festifs.
Today, a walk along the mimosa trail in Tanneron.
Tanneron is the easternmost commune of the Pays de Fayence on the edge of the Alpes Maritimes and is made up of many scattered hamlets.
The massif is ideal for growing mimosa and eucalyptus in particular. Tanneron is the commune in the Var, or even in France, with the most flowers in terms of mimosa. In the heart of its real "Yellow Forests", the smell is heady and persistent.
The Mimosa Route allows you to join Bormes-les-Mimosas to Grasse from December to March, during festive flower parades.

Truth in energy and in hues.
Frenetic,
hysterical confusions

frightened beings...
This skeletal umbelliferae caught my eye as the sun lit it up showing its seeds likely dispersed into the darkness of the river flowing behind hopefully to germinate downstream. So look on the bright side.
