Christmas is less than a fortnight away and nature here in Ostwestfalen is like early Spring. We used Sunday afternoon for an extended hiking tour around home waters of the river Werre in the Löhne area.
Like the Mandarin Duck and very similar looking the Wood Duck has also escaped into certain areas in the UK but far less well-established. A mostly silent duck and native to North America where they live in wooded swamps and will nest in holes in trees, these ducks are one of the species of duck that are equipped with strong claws that help to grip bark and perch on branches.
The Pyrrhuloxia (pronounced however your mouth decides in the moment) is the desert’s answer to a cardinal—same spiky crest, but with more attitude and less hydration.
I found this one perched on a rare leafy ocotillo, posing like he owned the place. With his candy-corn beak, dusty-red plumage, and permanent side-eye, he’s the bird version of a grumpy old-timer who’s seen things.
He’s tougher than his Northern cousin—built for heat, sand, and yelling at you from a bush for reasons known only to him. His song? Like a cardinal, but sharper, higher, and just a little bit judgmental.
Get the light right, and he glows like a desert ember.
He sings with a sting and glares like a monk—
A feathered grump with desert funk.
Azizi (previously known as Flora!) washing himself amidst holding his strawberry. What you see is him creating his own dribble in order to wash his face. He does this ritual every evening, usually after his tea.
"I like not to say much,
I don't say much.
I like to look up,
I look up at endless songs.
With my shadow to fly, to fly,
to catch stars on the bottom,
at the bottom, bottom of your music.
And when the frost falls, the frost,
to circle like full, full
moon in your scene.
Let the lights be dim, dim,
if stars were bright, bright
in your hands to leave.
My eyes, try to find me, find me,
search the streets of silence,
alone I will I erase my form."
One of the less clearly sign-posted waterfalls in Wales. I had to follow guide notes on various websites to find it. There was a good path and a bridge though. So I think that they wanted people to visit.

Another very early morning shot at high ISO, taken before we could readily see the birds with the naked eye. Here a chicken displays next to a cow patty.
Passing an abandoned pier, a fishing trawler heads to work on a misty morning in Casco Bay off the coast of Portland, Maine. Thanks for viewing! I appreciate your support moor than you know :)

SOLITAIRE – ANDY WILLIAMS
Little Tawny Mining Bee
on my Henry Moore
drying out; hoping for the sun
lots of pollen for your store
Solitary little Bee
he loves playing Solitaire
flying here and there and then
hovering in the air
back to Earth and nourish it
doing the very best you can
avoiding all the chemicals
laid down and sprayed by mortal man
in my garden you'll be safe
nowhere will you ever find
any unnatural substances
here there's only peace of mind
a haven; a little Heaven here on Earth
Garden of Eden that's for sure
stay here with me and you'll be safe
in my world; resting on my Henry Moore.

Un Petit Chevalier aux aguets!
J'aurais bien aimé compléter mon approche. Il en manquait peu. Son comparse du moment aura sonné l'alerte. D'où cette belle pose où son regard fixe en direction de ce dernier. Je ne sais trop pourquoi d'ailleurs, à ce moment-là j'étais bien tranquille à tenter de le capter avec ma lentille qui frôlait alors la surface de l'eau. Nous avons rien remarqué de particulier. Eux oui! Toujours aux aguets ses petits limicoles.
Vemos en la imagen al macho adulto de Trithemis annulata con su espectacular e inconfundible coloración, que será más o menos intensa según su edad.

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

This was taken on an occasionally perilous drive along the Newlands Valley in the Lake District. This is one of the less photographed areas in that part of the world for some reason but has some really spectacular viewpoints. Having given the matter some considerable thought, perhaps “perilous drive” might just explain the “less photographed” bit .....
