Sturdy and reliable, my Witch Hazel shrub (Hamamelis 'Jelena') blooms in defiance of the darkest days of winter. Its rather weird, bronze-yellow blooms add color to the January gloom just when you need it most.

So, finally Monday arrives (after a completely abysmal Saturday and Sunday in as far as Light is concerned) and so does the Light. I did a quick scout for the caterpillar (planned for next post), nowhere to be seen. Settling down on the bench that was used for the bee shot seemed like the thing to do. Contemplating if I should change up my gear to take advantage of the light. Nahh, too much effort. I noticed the Blue Jays in a frenzy over the peanuts. I was still disturbed over the fact that someone, you know who you are, had posted a shot of a Nuthatch in an upright feeding position. That is highly unusual. Up here, the Nuthatch has taken it upon himself to teach the Blue Jays how to do it his way. I had observed that behavior for a while and thus I came up with my purpose for this Monday. I talked the Nuthatch into getting his top student to perform this acrobatic feat so I could document this. I watched in wonder as the Blue Jay followed his sensei’s instructions. If other people can show Nuthatches right-side-up, I can certainly display a Blue Jay upside-down. So, here we are; no trickery using software nor the use of any super glue.
Enjoy what’s left of this weekend.

This week challenge was the imitation of Evie with a giraffe; great fun for me to play with a giraffe.

Another wetlands dependent species, the Yellow-headed Blackbird can be found in large numbers in some western and prairie wetlands. where they nest in reeds directly over the water.
This one was doing its best rusty hinge imitation in Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, Utah.
Auf genommen in Schmetterling Park, Burg auf Fehmarn
Als Bananenfalter werden die Schmetterlinge der Gattung Caligo aus der Familie der Edelfalter (Nymphalidae) bezeichnet. Die Gattung umfasst 21 Arten, die mit zu den größten der Neotropis zählen. Die Raupen ernähren sich von Bananen, Pfeilwurzgewächsen und Helikonien.
Die Falter sind groß und haben eine beige bis braune Grundfarbe. Die Vorderflügellänge reicht von 65 bis über 90 Millimeter bei Caligio eurolochus sulanus. Die Flügel der Männchen schimmern teilweise dunkelblau. Die Unterseiten der Flügel sind kontrastreich braun, schwarz und cremefarben gemustert. Auf dem Hinterflügel befindet sich ein großer dunkler Augenfleck, der dünn beige und schwarz umrandet ist. Kleinere Augenflecken befinden sich teilweise auf Hinter- und Vorderflügel. Durch ihre Detailtreue zählen die großen Augenflecken der Caligo-Arten zu den besten Imitationen von Augen bei Tieren. Der dunkle Kern mit einem hellen Halbring darauf und dem hellen Rand erinnern stark an eine helle Iris mit einer dunklen Pupille, die eine Spiegelung hat. Sie können als Eulenauge interpretiert werden, das von einer nachgebildeten Gefiederstruktur umgeben ist, weshalb die Caligo-Arten auch den englischen Trivialnamen Owl butterflies (Eulenfalter) haben.[1] Es ist aber umstritten, ob diese Augenflecken die Augen eines bestimmten Tieres imitieren oder ob sie als Sekundärschutz, wenn ein Fressfeind zu nahe kommt, dienen. Primär sind die Tiere durch ihre kontrastreiches Muster auf der Flügelunterseite, einer Rindenmimese, geschützt, wenn sie tagsüber mit geschlossenen Flügeln an Baumstämmen ruhen.[2

Species: Vanellus vanellus.
Also known as the peewit in imitation of its display calls, its proper name describes its wavering flight. Its black and white appearance and round-winged shape in flight make it distinctive, even without its splendid crest. This familiar farmland bird has suffered significant declines recently and is now a Red List species.

Usually, I prefer to go in much closer for my shots but not being a fan of heights of any kind (this does not include highs), I decided to play this safe and also make sure that the dogs would not get away from me and accost unsuspecting strangers and/or other four legged creatures. I suspect what’s happening here is that the geese have realized that there is a void in Alberta regarding documented sightings of storks and have taken it upon themselves to rectify this situation.
These houses border on the man-made lake where some years ago I shot the pictures of the “Northern Lights”. Actually, those were just lights reflecting off the lake. Since I was completely wasted by the time we got to this location – takes a half hour of brisk walking, actually that’s a lie, more like shuffling along – this shot was taken sitting on a bench. This brings to mind that after all these years of taking pics, I still haven’t taken a bench shot. Usually too preoccupied utilizing it for its primary purpose.
Before I’m moving on, please note the duck on the lower roof portion below the two geese. I am not sure what’s going thru her mind. Perhaps just a feeling of not wanting to be left out of the activities. The other amazing thing in this shot is that I am actually up and about at this uncivilized hour of 7 am. This whining tells you that I was not raised on a farm.

I know she wants, I know she wants you
I know she wants, I know she wants you
I know she wants, I know she wants you
I know she wants, I know she wants you
Boy, I know you better
Than you think you know yourself
I know where your coming from
Seeing you together
And I swear I can tell
There's something going on
I've seen her expression
As she looks in your direction
It's there in her eyes
You say there's no connection
You don't think that's her intention
Baby, you must be blind
I know that she wants you
She wants you, she wants you
I know it instinctively
(I know she wants, I know she wants you)
I know that she wants you
She wants you, she wants you
You say you're in love with me
(I know she wants, I know she wants you)
Boy, you think I'm crazy
You'll say she don't mean a thing
That I'm the one for you
She just wants your body, baby
She don't give a damn
What I've been going through
She wants satisfaction
To be center of attraction
It's clear to me
She needs no imitations
She's got such determination
Baby, you still don't see
I know that she wants you
She wants you, she wants you
I know it instinctively
(I know she wants, I know she wants you)
I know that she wants you
She wants you, she wants you
You say you're in love with me
(I know she wants, I know she wants you)
You understand
You take my hand
You're proud to be my man and I won't let you go
I've seen her expression
As she looks in your direction
It's there in her eyes
You say there's no connection
You don't think that's her intention
Baby, you must be blind
Strasbourg is not only the seat of the Europen Union parliament, it is also very beautiful.
Especially the old half-timbered houses in the Petit France district are a popular sight.
And after that short break in proceedings, it's back to the pears.
Minimal processing with these ones as I liked them just the way the were.
Much Better on Black take a look!
