A small and shy resident goose of the Indian subcontinent, found throughout the year in freshwater lakes and ponds. They are social birds and always seen in groups of 4 to 6 or more.
The birds are visibly smaller than the other ducks such as Whistling teals and the Spot Billed Ducks found in our region. I love to shoot them in flight, but they fly fast and are quite wary of humans.
Shot them near a lake full of Jacana's and Coots. These goose stayed for a while and then flew away far from human activity..
Many thanks for all your views, likes and feedback. Much appreciated.
The succulent Kalanchoe species, popularly known as flower-of-fortune (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana), is super easy to care for. This is because it is resistant to climatic variations, does not need constant irrigation and has excellent adaptation to indoor and outdoor environments. In addition, in the same species there are variations such as the cat's ear (Kalanchoe tomentosa), the mother of thousands (Kalanchoe laetivirens), among others.
When the flowers are simple they are called Kalanchoe.
And when the flowers are folded (multiple petals) Calandivas.
We found this ram on a brushy slope in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta. Starting a North American hooved wildlife set.
We need to encourage more bees in to our gardens! All it takes is to plant more bee loving flowers in our garden, like Cerinthe, which i am told by the bees is a favourite of theirs :)

Can sometimes be known as the Dalmatian Iris and is a hardy flowering perennial belonging to the family Iridaceae native to Croatia. Grown from a rhizome and will adapt to many different environments.
The great cormorant on the left was extremely tolerant of the rowdy, space invading pelican neighbours.
The plastic drink bottles were removed by cropping and/or patching. Would that it were so easy to clean up the environment.

Did you know that Parakeets, Owls, Myna's etc.. all share the same kind of home? They nest / roost in holes / hollow of tree trunks that are often created by other birds like Woodpeckers. On this day, we found several coconut trees with such holes in them. And a large flock of Rose Ringed Parakeets was active with some of them in these holes - while others were on the branches nearby.
The spotted owlet had occupied one of those hollows in the tree and the Parakeets clearly didn't like that. So they were continuously making calls and one of them even landed on the hollow to scare the owlet away. The owlet came out and landed on this perch very close - this was around 3 PM. It was sleepy, yawning and had droopy eyes. We felt sorry for it, but didn't disturb the fight and watched from a distance.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
We returned last night from attending a wake for my husband's best friend who he had known since 4th grade to find that additional forest closures had been mandated related to the Pack Creek Fire to some of the areas where my husband and I recreate on a regular basis, in particular, Medicine Lake.
My husband is a Vietnam Veteran. Physical activity is his therapy. The back side of the La Sals provide a restorative environment where he can run, ski, bike, and hike. He clears deadfall and debris from running and bicycle trails in the spring and has bagged every peak in the range.
We live on the saddle of South Mountain and cut down dead aspen in the fall for firewood. We were married in the La Sals. The La Sal mountains are our life. The mountains are our medicine.
Today I am uploading a series of works I created today in Solidarity With the Worldwide Call For Environmental Responsibility!

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

Giornata internazionale dell'ambiente
Ho scelto questa bottiglia di plastica buttata negligentemente in acqua per denuncia:
sono tante le "piccole" cose che ognuno di noi può fare per l'ambiente.
Non possiamo chiedere ai governi di fare qualcosa per il futuro del nostro pianeta se poi noi per primi ci comportiamo male ...

Waterfowl migration is heading toward peak and we plan to head out to some of our favorite wetlands to check it out next week. With luck, this is one of the species we'll observe and photograph.
Welcome to to the beach, a haven for dog walkers and coffee drinkers. A special congratulations on picking up your dog mess, only to lob it into the dunes and leave it in a bag for the next hundred years. Shame on you........
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is a large park with an eminent garden in Shinjuku and Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. It was originally a residence of the Naitō family in the Edo period. Afterwards, it became a garden under the management of the Imperial Household Agency of Japan. It is now a park under the jurisdiction of the national Ministry of the Environment.
The shogun bequeathed this land to Lord Naitō (daimyo) of Tsuruga in the Edo period who completed a garden here in 1772. After the Meiji Restoration the house and its grounds were converted into an experimental agricultural centre. It then because a botanical garden before becoming an imperial garden in 1879. The current configuration of the garden was completed in 1906. Most of the garden was destroyed by air raids in 1945, during the later stages of World War II. The garden was rebuilt after the war.
The jurisdiction over the Imperial Palace Outer Garden and the Kyoto imperial garden was transferred to the Ministry of Health and Welfare (now part of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) in 1947.
On May 21, 1949 the garden became open to the public as "National Park Shinjuku Imperial Gardens". It came under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Environment in January 2001 with the official name "Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden".
Many people associate lions with the grasslands of the Masai Mara or Serengeti. While those areas are great for seeing lions, there are also other environments where they can be seen. This image was captured in the Chobe National Park, Botswana during an extended drought in August 24.

At the top of the Wicklow Mountains, through the Scalp, there are many mountain pools. Some natural and some due to rewetting actions that are taking place in the peatlands that cover the mountains.
This is another shot of the egret I chased all over the place. I do think he enjoyed the "game" of playing tag with a human. And I was a sucker to go along with it. But little does he know, I got a pretty cool shot out of the deal. I just love this one of him perched and looking quite comfy in his natural environment.
Hope your week is going well. I am off work the rest of the week and plan to enjoy a nice long weekend in my natural environment......lol. Cheers :-)
