I very nearly missed this butterfly, as it merged so well into the background.
When you see it up close like this, it really is such a beautiful insect.
Last night was a sleep-deprived, fun, long, exhausting, wonderful night spend out in the beauty of the Yellowknife area chasing stars, aurora, and dreams with good friends Paul Zizka Photography and Robbie Craig's Northern Projects
"The Lights" made a few fickle appearances but it was this capture of Paul earlier in the night that caught my attention. Paul's known around the globe for his night/aurora work and it was fun having the chance to capture him at play.
Final sleep time: 6:15AM.
ISO 1600, f/11, 20-second exposure.

Sunday we had incredible dinner as we celebrated my Goddaughters and nieces birthday, their Father is a Chef at the Essex by Central park, we had fantastic spread before dinner, the main course was incredible!
The Watermelon radish, also known as Rooseheart or Red Meat, is an heirloom Chinese Daikon radish.
Few other items that you don't see often in a salad, like Japanese black Radish Lollipop kale or goat cheese fritters,
sprinkled with an incredibly tasting dressing.
During our hike at Mt Esja we wandered upon a group of Icelandic grouse hiding in the snow. The best way spot them was to look for their footprints in the snow. There´s one to be seen in this capture, can you find it?
Last mothers day I posted a photo of 3 newborn kittens. I thought I would give a small update on they're progress. This is Yoda he was the last born and what a character he is. He is a male with the longest fur I've ever seen on a cat. His fur actually grows in two levels, The first is closer to his body and the second is a very thin Aura type fur that is 2 inches longer than his body fur. We named him Yoda because when he was bottle feeding his little ears would wiggle. :) I was really bored yesterday and was watching them hunt each other in the overgrown grass in my backyard. I have let the grass over grow because these 2 just love playing in it, hunting flies and each other, that I don't have the heart to cut it, they have so much fun in it. :) I liked this shot because I can see myself in his eye. Is that vanity or just the fact that I managed to get his eye in focus for the first time. :)
Please leave a comment if you like this photo and thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great day everyone :)

Could it be that we are surrounded
by masters in the form of plants,
animals and minerals, deserving our
deepest gratitude and respect, who
with silent stillness, which we call
meditation, exemplify transcendence
in service to the One beyond attributes
by sacrificing even their presence to
teach, nourish and protect us?

Happy May Day! My first Osprey of the season.
Osprey feed primarily on live fish, which they catch from the water by using their long, hooked talons. An osprey can plunge so forcefully into the water that if will completely submerge! They are a perfect fishing machine with a success rate of around 70%.
A Brown-capped Pygmy Woodpecker (Dendrocopos nanus) after a prolonged search at broken twigs finally investigated out the victim, a caterpillar from the swollen perch. I was silently chasing the master from twigs to twigs finally caught the master with its masterpiece reward just at the perfect time. Pics was taken from Dehradoon, India.
This is the place where the cormorants gather everyday for drying their feathers and visiting each other.
It looks like the choir master directs the singer at the end :)

I know it doesn't look like I've made much progress for having an entire free day to do it, but it's been a very frustrating build experience. I actually built those segments that loop under the armpits, only to find that I didn't make the loop exaggerated enough, and whenever I rested my arms by my sides, they broke under the pressure. Also, things just started to fall apart in general, such as a the entire bottom of the backpack, and the joints between the front and back of the suit also started cracking, so I had to resort to some extreme measures that I am ashamed of: I used glue, LOTS of glue, and so far it's worked pretty well. But I guess I can't do a good balance of aesthetics and durability. Well, you should DEFINiTELY expect this to be done by tomorrow. I swear.
