A rather common warbler found throughout the Himalayan Belt. We sighted them almost everyday much of the journey. I know now that these are endemic to the Himalayas.
These are small birds - maybe less than 10 cms and incredibly active in the roadside bushes, trees and clumps of vegetation. I love the color of these birds and they are quite agile. The birds feed on small seeds, tree insects like Spiders, caterpillars and berries maybe. We never saw them on the ground anytime and most of the time were shooting almost 70-80 deg upwards. Except onetime when we were overlooking a valley and got this shot!
Thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback if any.
You cannot protect the environment unless you empower people, you inform them, and you help them understand that these resources are their own, that they must protect them.

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 :)

It is a member of the bird family Columbidae (doves and pigeons). In common usage, this bird is often simply referred to as the 'pigeon'. The domestic pigeon descended from this species. Escaped domestic pigeons have raised the populations of feral pigeons around the world. Wild rock doves are pale grey with two black bars on each wing, whereas domestic and feral pigeons vary in colour and pattern. Few differences are seen between males and females. The species is generally monogamous, with two squabs (young) per brood. Both parents care for the young for a time. Habitats include various open and semi-open environments. Cliffs and rock ledges are used for roosting and breeding in the wild. Originally found wild in Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, pigeons have become established in cities around the world. The species is abundant, with an estimated population of 17 to 28 million feral and wild birds in Europe alone. 15770

Isabella Pond, Australian Capital Territory, May 2013.
A striking, medium-sized bird found along the Pacific coast from southern British Columbia through California and into Baja California. About 27–31 cm long with a 39 cm wingspan, it is an easy to sight bird, active throughout the day in the countryside and even in the suburbs.
These birds are commonly found in dry shrublands, oak woodlands, chaparral, and suburban yards, often in proximity to oaks. Omnivorous, they feed on insects and fruit in spring and summer and shift to nuts and seeds, especially acorns, in fall and winter.
These birds - like Acorn Woodpeckers - have a symbiotic relationship with Acorns. They cache acorns and retrieve it later, helping them thrive in diverse environments. That caching also helps in seed dispersal and helps the Oak trees spread across the areas.
Many thanks in advance for your views / likes and faves - very much appreciated.
This image showcases an acorn surrounded by twisted, intricate roots, creating a mystical and organic scene. The lighting casts dramatic shadows, emphasizing the detailed texture and the connection between the seed and its environment, symbolizing growth and the mysteries of nature.

Are we spending too much time infighting politically and forgetting the real global danger to the entire world. Peace and harmony are the only solutions but in order to achieve them we must work endlessly to that goal.
Shouldn't our politicians, news organizations, technology empires and vast corporations get involved in protecting humanity and our environment?
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
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.
The Wild Center· Natural History Museum
Live animals, hands-on exhibits & forest trails connect guests with the Adirondacks.
There is a lot of information ranging from different types of fungus to the life of an otter. Along the tree top excursion you can continually be educated about the surrounding environment. Ground trails are well maintained and are clearly marked when trails outside of the center intersect them. The parking lot is spacious and hard topped; easy to traverse.

In a kind of rural area, many people lead their lives near places of birth. As for me, however, l don't think I'm one of those guys. Just like one of those who move elsewhere. In my case, there is no single factor that made me decide to live in other
surroundings. One of the reason
why l moved there is to try to
experience the environment that I'v
e never seen .

Merci énormément pour vos commentaires, ils sont toujours très appréciés.
Je dois avouer être très surpris par le nombre et les habitudes de vie des dindons sauvages dans mon secteur. Habituellement, je les rencontrais plus souvent qu'autrement au bord d'un champ de culture adjacent ou non à la forêt, souvent au beau milieu du champ et très méfiants. Ici, dans les montagnes des Laurentides, ils semblent se plaire en milieu forestier. Ils ont leur dortoir au sommet des montagnes. Le ''Flight Down'' est habituellement tôt le matin, aux premières lueurs du jour. C'est pour cette raison que j'utilise une lentille vieille EF 200mm ou EF 300mm / 2.8 il y a très peu de luminosité lors du ''Flight Down''. Elles sont vraiment très habiles.

Thank you so much for your comments; they are always greatly appreciated.
I must admit I'm very surprised by the number and habits of wild turkeys in my area. Usually, I encountered them more often than not at the edge of a crop field, whether adjacent to a forest or not, often right in the middle of the field and very wary. Here in the Laurentian Mountains, they seem to thrive in forested environments. They roost on mountaintops. Flight down is usually early in the morning at first light. That's why I use an old EF 200mm or EF 300mm / 2.8 lens; there's very little light during flight down. They are truly adept.
Ruthven Barracks near Ruthven in Badenoch, Scotland, are the best preserved of the four barracks built in 1719 after the 1715 Jacobite rising. Set on an old castle mound, the complex comprises two large three-storey blocks occupying two sides of the enclosure, each with two rooms per floor. The barracks and enclosing walls were built with loopholes for musket firing, and bastion towers were built at opposite corners. Destroyed by Jacobites following their retreat after the Battle of Culloden in 1746, the Barracks ruins are maintained as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland. They are accessible at all times without entrance charge.

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".
Erhai (pronounced like "are high") is a beautiful lake in the Chinese province Yunnan. I took this picture during a bike trip in the environment of Dali.
"Erhai is situated at 1,972 metres (6,470 ft) above sea level. In size, the North-South length of the lake is 40 kilometres (25 mi) and the East-West width is roughly 7–8 kilometres (4.3–5.0 mi)..."
Ibises are a group of long-legged wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae, that inhabit wetlands, forests and plains. Ibises usually feed as a group, probing mud for food items, usually crustaceans. It is widespread across much of Australia. It has a predominantly white plumage with a bare, black head, long down curved bill and black legs. They are monogamous and highly territorial while nesting and feeding. Most nest in trees, often with spoonbills or herons. Due to its increasing presence in the urban environment and its habit of rummaging in garbage, the species has acquired a variety of colloquial names such as tip turkey; and bin chicken, and in recent years has become an icon of popular culture, being regarded with passion, wit, and, in equal measure, affection and disgust. 55209
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.

I'm still in moose mode for another day or two.
The color of this cow is the prettiest I've seen on any moose. We found her nearly ten years ago in Denali National Park, Alaska.
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 :-)
