Hi Everyone! A young Red Fox grooming its fur. I was thrilled to watch him/her so relaxed in my presence. It was nearly nightfall so I was fairly happy with how the image turned out.
Humbly thanking you for your views, faves and comments! Suggestions are always welcomed. Have a glorious day!

Just love it when birds begin to preen and groom themselves by running their beak through their feathers. This marbled godwit, which stopped by on its migration to the north, was totally hamming it up for the camera. Hope you enjoy.

"The thing about repairing, maintaining and cleaning is: it's not an adventure. There's no way to do it so wrong you might die."
Tell that to a tree kangaroo trying to scratch its tail.
A spectacular and iconic cloud forest bird of northwestern Ecuador and western Colombia. Note gray throat, red breast and belly, black cap, thick white stripe behind eye, and stout, yellow bill tipped with black. Nothing remotely similar occurs in range. Usually found in pairs in the forest canopy, often with mixed-species flocks. Eats large insects as well as fruit.
This grooming couple was photographed in Colombia guided by Neotropic Photo Tours.
My guide was enjoying a fine brew of Colombian coffee during this all too brief encounter; I heard it was very good cup of coffee; one for the ages!
The old tin mining weir on the Groom River, upstream from Halls Falls on the Blue Tier, north eastern Tasmania.
A very pretty setting in the sub-temperate rain forest.
Tin mining was a thing in the north east in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Anchor Mine on the Blue Tier was a hard rock operation. My own grandfather and his Norwegian dad were miners of alluvial tin on the Golden Fleece River near St Helens.

Locust Borer Longhorn Beetle – 2020OCT02 – Charlotte, NC
I went to harvest goldenrod for goldenrod tea, finding in the bountiful blossoms a breathtaking bonus: a beauteous beetle!
Spectacular arrays of brilliant yellow flowers attract throngs of insects intent on collecting and consuming the nutritious large and rather sticky pollen from myriads of small flowers on each plant, a magnet for late summer and early autumn insects, this wasp-striped longhorn beetle among the most eye-catching, especially important to it as a mimic (Batesian mimicry, something harmless imitating something dangerous): looks like a bee or a wasp but cannot sting.
Many insects, like this locust borer, try very hard to imitate bees (called bee mimics) and wasps, and do a surprisingly good job of it!
Hope you enjoy this 25% of 213 captures I took here this day!
