This male Mountain Bluebird with beautiful sky-blue plumage was seen in the southern Okanagan region of British Columbia, Canada. It perched on a rock that had been placed atop a fence post in the White Lake Grasslands Protected Area.
First time I entered K Country it was from the south on the Kananaskis Trail, (hwy 40). Mist Mountain was the first jaw dropper I saw as I drove north towards Canmore. As a mountain junkie I was in for dozens of jawdropping scenes like this. Can't wait to return.
Thanks for taking a peak peek!
Have a wonderful Friday and weekend!
The live of tribe in the valleys and mountains every time have to go It is always a travel like a traveling life working on the sheep
A tranquil, moody morning at Idaho's Little Redfish Lake with some of the beautiful Sawtooth mountains in the distance. I cherish moments and experiences like this. Trouble in the world: not when out in Nature like this.
Gotta love our hobby/passion/addiction!
Thanks for taking a look! Always appreciated!
A moody, broody morning waiting for sunrise's bloom on this iconic peak. The sun was shrouded in thick clouds as well behind me but we were able to capture a nice reflection of it in Pyramid Lake.
Dear friend Carlos waiting as well on the point to the right. Was a wonderful start to a special day with Jocy, Panta and Carlos. Hope our paths cross again.
Enjoy a fabulous Friday and weekend!

Mountain Hare - Lepus Timidus
The mountain hare (Lepus timidus), also known as blue hare, tundra hare, variable hare, white hare, snow hare, alpine hare, and Irish hare, is a Palearctic hare that is largely adapted to polar and mountainous habitats.
In the European Alps the mountain hare lives at elevations from 700 to 3800 m, depending on biographic region and season.The development of alpine winter tourism has increased rapidly since the last few decades of the 20th century, resulting in expansion of ski resorts, growing visitor numbers, and a huge increase in all forms of snow sport activities. A 2013 study looking at stress events and the response of mountain hares to disturbance concluded that those hares living in areas of high winter recreational activities showed changes in physiology and behaviour that demanded additional energy input at a time when access to food resources is restricted by snow. It recommended ensuring that forests inhabited by mountain hares were kept free of tourist development, and that new skiing areas should be avoided in mountain hare habitat, and that existing sites should not be expanded.
In August 2016, the Scottish animal welfare charity OneKind launched a campaign on behalf of the mountain hare, as a way of raising awareness of mountain hare culls taking place across the country and in garnering public support for the issue. Mountain hares are routinely shot in the Scottish Highlands both as part of paid hunting "tours" and by gamekeepers managing red grouse populations (who believe that mountain hares can be vectors of diseases which affect the birds). Much of this activity is secretive but investigations have revealed that tens of thousands of hares are being culled every year. The campaign, which urges people to proclaim that We Care For The Mountain Hare", will culminate with the charity urging the Scottish government to legislate against commercial hunting and culling of the iconic Scottish species. The campaign has revealed widespread public support for a ban on hare hunting in Scotland.
Unlike the brown hare, which is thought to have been introduced by the Celts during the Iron Age, the mountain hare is native to Britain. However, it is only native to the Scottish Highlands and was translocated elsewhere.

Hi! It's been a while! Hope you are all doing well and enjoying the spring weather!
I took this picture on a wonderful spring morning. I was alone at this mountain lake in the canton of Glarus, Switzerland, except for some birds, ducks and about 15 charmoises (alpine goat-antelopes) who were climbing the cliff next to the lake. The water was so calm and the mountain reflected beautifully on the water as the first rays of sun hit the peak.
I wish you a Happy Easter! I will try to catch up on your work as soon as possible!
View over untouched snow slopes
above Berwang Tyrol.
All the hustle and bustle of people,
which determines their entire lives,
remains hidden here under a fine
blanket of clouds and loses its meaning.
I would like to thank you very much for
all comments, awards and faves!
Unfortunately it is not possible for me to thank everyone personally.
Many greetings from Tyrol, the heart of
the Alps!

A great evening above all the noice... Just the sound of nature.
Looking across Derwent Water to the beautiful mountains from Low Brandelhow jetty in the Lake District.
If anyone can tell me if this mountain has a name or where it is I would appreciate it as for the life of me I can't remember if it was the Lake District or the Yorkshire Dales near the Lakes.

Mountain Goat (Wild) - Capra aegagrus hircus
Findhorn Valley, Scotland
The feral goats of Scotland were brought in by Neolithic-era humans for farming purposes but were likely abandoned around the late 1700s due to the Highland Clearances, the evictions of a significant number of tenants in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. These people were unable to bring their livestock with them and, instead, had to leave them to roam the Highlands. The goats from this collective of livestock were able to get a foothold in this environment however and within little time, the population of Highland goats exploded to about 3,000 to 4,000. Though they are very common to see, they are also heavily considered both a nonnative, invasive species by the Scottish government as well as a major threat to the Scottish Highlands with there being evidence of the goats contributing to grazing pressures on at least 18 different conservational sites. Hunting remains as one of the primary ways that the population is handled and though a few population management plans have been discussed, few have gotten off of the ground.
Delighted to see my first ever mountain hare at the weekend. Even though the hike killed me !!, my calf's and thighs have just recovered :-)

Thanks for taking a look. Always appreciated!
Enjoy a wonderful Sunday and week ahead!

This was one of those, "stop!, I want to get off" moments, when you see a mountain and it just beckons you. That ridge and shapely summit just scream out, "climb me".
Unfortunately, on this occasion I was stood on deck of the "Viking Venus" sailing steadily northward on Norway's photogenic Inside Passage to Tromso. Everywhere you look on this stretch of the Fjords just appears magical in these conditions.
I'm sure this mountain gets a lot of visitors from the Norwegian climbing community given its proximity to the road that runs along this Fjord. If anyone does know its name, please let me know, its allure is beckoning me!

I haven't been here (Joy Mountains) since our semi lockdown from the middle of May. I'm glad I was here again. Faced this beauty, I thank God and pray.
Mount Hehuan is a 3,416-metre-high (11,207 ft) mountain in Central Taiwan. The peak lies on the borders of Nantou and Hualien counties and is located within Taroko National Park. Hehuanshan is a popular destination in central Taiwan. The 3,421-metre east peak and 3,422-metre north peak of Hehuanshan are both higher than the main peak.
Mount Hehuan is part of the Central Mountain Range.
It flows mainly south to southeast. On the upper course, the stream, in the middle part a mountain stream and at the inlet to the Elbe a smaller river, first flows through a slightly narrow valley, from the mountain village of Černý Důl the valley is more constricted. On the upper course, it flows through the Krkonoše National Park and a protected section in the protection zone of the healing resources of Janské Lázně.
