Brown Hare - Lepus europaeus

Norfolk

The brown hare is known for its long, black-tipped ears and fast running - it can reach speeds of 45mph when evading predators. It prefers a mosaic of farmland and woodland habitats and can often be spotted in fields.

Thought to have been introduced into the UK in Roman Times (or even earlier), the brown hare is now considered naturalised. It is most common in grassland habitats and at woodland edges, favouring a mosaic of arable fields, grasses and hedgerows. It grazes on vegetation and the bark of young trees and bushes. Brown hares do not dig burrows, but shelter in 'forms', which are shallow depressions in the ground or grass; when disturbed, they can be seen bounding across the fields, using their powerful hind legs to propel them forwards, often in a zigzag pattern. Brown hares are at their most visible in early spring when the breeding season encourages fighting or 'boxing'. Females can produce three to four litters of two to four young (known as leverets) a year.

Widespread, but absent from northern Scotland and the Scottish islands, except Islay, I'm reliably informed.

Good weekend to you all.

Pink, small, and punctual,

Aromatic, low,

Covert in April,

Candid in May,

Dear to the moss,

Known by the knoll,

Next to the robin

In every human soul.

Bold little beauty,

Bedecked with thee,

Nature forswears

Antiquity.

Warm thanks and greetings to all Flickr friends, who encouraged me yesterday when I was down.

Ann Magnolias [?]

With beautiful four-inch-wide blossoms in striking shades of medium pink or reddish-purple, this is an elegant flower that blooms very early and gets up to ten feet in height.

Magnolia flowers belong to the Magnoliaceae family and have around 210 species. They’re considered as the most ancient flowering plants, appearing before bees did. Fossilised specimen of one type of magnolia dated 20 million years while another dates back 95 million years. [...]. It is believed that they have evolved to encourage pollination by beetles. The flowers don’t yield true nectar but protein-rich pollen. www.homestratosphere.com/types-of-magnolias/

The Emperor Gum Moth belongs to the Saturniidae family and is native to Australia. This species was formerly placed in the genus Antheraea.

This captive bred male emerged from its cocoon on 16.07.2016.

I took this photo of my favourite bridge at Derrybawn from the opposite bank of the Gleanealo river just for a change. I think it works ok though the light is always tricky here. It is my most favourite bridge but Im sure you know that already! Lol! Honestly though, so many here seem to like it too so your all to blame for encouraging me!

I find the name Derrybawn somewhat magical It comes from the Gaelige. " Derry " which is a corruption of the word "Daoire" [ Dirra } which means "Oak Trees " and " Bawn " {Bonn} means White.

So it means " The White Oaks ". Now you are all speaking Irish!!! In Ireland sessile oak trees are often referred to as white oaks. There is one giant tree still standing here which was obviously part of a great forest and I have some photos of it on here.

I do hope you like it.

Im off on holidays shortly for two weeks so Ill catch up when I get back.

Best of everything to all of you!

Morning photoart capture at Nth Stradbroke Island, Queensland, Australia.

Canon EOS 7D Mark II

Fog/mist and light frost encouraged me out the other day to a location I've never ventured to before, even though it's reasonably local to me, Risby Warren, in North Lincolnshire.

Being slightly elevated, yes parts of Lincolnshire does have hills, the mist was thinner, and was burning back quick as the sun shone through.

Unfortunately the fencing restricted where I could actually get to. I had seen some great trees (behind me from this viewpoint) but I just couldn't get the composition I wanted. Nevertheless this shot attracted me due to the various leading lines of the power cables, fences, hills and clouds.

Morning is God's way of saying one more time go make a difference, touch a heart, encourage a mind, inspire a soul and enjoy the day!!

I would like to thank everyone who take the time to view and comment on my photographs it is greatly appreciated and encouraging

Thank you all my kind friends for your thoughtful and encouraging comments, favs and views, I wish I could thank you all individually but right now it's not possible, hope all of you have a wonderful weekend and as always happy shooting :-))

With all the beauty that we see everywhere let’s remember to do our part to preserve Nature. Doing what may seem like the small things can really make a difference if we all just do the right thing. Encourage others to respect Natures beauty. It will help preserve the beauty for the future because the future is here. It’s true “Nature Gives” so give back to Nature. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe and be kind to everyone.

Not one I encourage normally, but when they stare at you with such intelligence & confidence and display plumage of such perfect beauty, it's impossible not to offer something. Our house already bears too many cockatoo scars so I need to resist their charming ways.

I was much encouraged by a friend's appreciation to attempt more shots at relatively slow shutter speeds for panning with an 800mm focal length, hand-held lens. I am glad I did as I got several pictures that I wouldn't otherwise have attempted - this is one such taken at 1/60th seconds.

The Gladiator was the last biplane fighter to enter RAF service, in 1937 - the same year as the far more capable Spitfire. Despite looking rather old fashioned, it has a very sprightly performance, compared to other biplanes of the era, but even so, was already pretty much obsolescent when it entered service. It had some relatively novel features such as landing flaps (seen in the lowered position in the picture) and an enclosed cockpit. This latter was not very popular with pilots of the day as 'real flying' involved being in the open air. Later aircraft that flew higher and faster in much colder air soon put paid that attitude! The cockpit hood was kept in the open position for this display.

We will not have Halloween again this year. We choose not to encourage unvaccinated children to congregate. Next year hopefully it will be much different.

Encouraged by the images of others like Ay Naku and Artsee Fartsy I am going to try to be a little more brave and take street shots.
