Most fawns here in Wisconsin are born in May and June. During the first couple of months, fawns spend most of their time hiding, away from their mothers. The mother visits very briefly only twice or three times a day to feed the fawn and move the baby/babies to a new location. Fawns also have underdeveloped scent glands, meaning they don't have a scent for predators to detect. Until a fawn is old enough to be fully mobile and able to outrun danger, the fawn’s best defense is to remain hidden and freeze if danger approaches. And yes, the mom spends most of each day separate from the fawn to avoid attracting predators by her own presence and scent.
If you find a fawn, the best thing you can do is leave it alone. The mother is likely nearby and continuing to check on the fawn. If the baby is injured or appears to be in distress, contact the wildlife rehabilitation or rescue near you.
It took me some effort to get a decent photo of this hiding fawn. I had seen him once before earlier in the summer, when he was a newborn and he has a twin. Their mother I see frequently. The doe typically hides twin fawns separately to protect them from predators. She does this by leaving them in different, secluded locations, often within her familiar home range, and only returning to nurse them. This strategy minimizes the risk of both fawns being discovered by a predator at the same time.
and therefore are economical in its use :-)

It is said to be one of the most difficult hike in Garibaldi Provincial Park, with an elevation gain of more than 1100 meters in just 7km. However, the spectacular alpine scenery will make the grueling trek well worth it, I promise!!
Wedgemount Lake, BC
Most of the old pilings were buried in the ice dunes along the beach. Those furthest from shore are still visible on the left
most are empty, but the big one on the left is full of smoked lamb, which i could smell way down the road...
The most spectacular sunset colors are typically when the sun is no longer visible and below the horizon, afterglow in the twilight zone.
This rocky outcrop is actually a temple on a little island normally surrounded by the sea. The rocky seabed is however exposed at low-tide as per this image.
Was searching for an angle to frame the sacred island when I noticed how the little tide pools on a section of the exposed rocky seafloor shone like mirrors against the spectacular but fleeting light at dusk.
Quite happy with the composition with the little tide pools as foreground interest with the temple against the quality of the evening light.
Meanwhile Samyang has just announced their new AF 135mm f1.8 FE prime lens at a reasonable 772g and $999, this should be very interesting especially for those like me who like such a lens but don't use it often enough to justify or need the Sony 135mm f1.8 GM. The Batis 135mm is an entire stop slower at f2.8 and doubled the price, yikes! I really like my older Samyang manual focus 135mm f2.0 originally designed for DSLR, this is widely regarded as one of Samyang's best lens and a real steal for the money. The new Samyang AF 135mm f1.8 also has 11 aperture blades compared to just 9 in the older version.
Most likely my favorite picture I've ever taken, at least top 5 for sure. :D
Hope you guys like it as much as I do.

I thought this was my 35L but apparently it was at 30mm.. Oops!
The reason these didn't go up for SO long is that I was trying to get them into a magazine, after trying 4? of them no one even budged.. O well! I am more then happy with putting them on Canibeat!!
My most cheerful character Gwen in my most gloomy pic) (I think, she must be rehabilitated after the latest work with flame thrower in hands and red boots)
Mood: lazy and very bad (hope that I’ll become more adequate in the spring, but now I want only to sit in corner and to spoil mood for everybody XDD).
I really wished to make something colourful and mad, but could master only half-dresses of dancing hippie. Well, I probably will complete this in future.
This sculpture is one of the most historically interesting sculptures on the bridge, which gradually gained its present appearance throughout many centuries. The original wooden crucifix was installed at this place soon after 1361 and probably destroyed by the Hussites in 1419. A new crucifix with a wooden corpus was erected in 1629 but was severely damaged by the Swedes towards the end of the Thirty Years' War. The remnants of this crucifix can be found in the lapidarium of the National Museum in Prague. This was replaced by another wooden Calvary which, in turn, was replaced with a metal version in 1657. Bought in Dresden, this crucifix was originally made in 1629 by H. Hillger based upon a design by W. E. Brohn. In 1666, two lead figures were added, but these were replaced in 1861 by the present sandstone statues by Emanuel Max, portraying the Virgin Mary and John the Evangelist.

El crucifijo de madera original fue instalado en este lugar poco después de 1361 y probablemente destruido por los husitas en 1419. Un nuevo crucifijo con un cuerpo de madera fue erigido en 1629 pero fue severamente dañado por los suecos hacia el final de la Guerra de los Treinta Años. Los restos de este crucifijo se pueden encontrar en el lapidarium del Museo Nacional de Praga. Este fue reemplazado por otro Calvario de madera que, a su vez, fue reemplazado por una versión de metal en 1657. Comprado en Dresde, este crucifijo fue originalmente hecho en 1629 por H. Hillger basado en un diseño de W. E. Brohn. En 1666, se agregaron dos figuras de plomo, pero estas fueron reemplazadas en 1861 por las actuales estatuas de piedra arenisca de Emanuel Max, que representan a la Virgen María y Juan el Evangelista.

Most of the seals we encountered in the Arctic were very nervous and wary, but this one was relaxed on the ice-floe, and allowed a careful approach by the zodiac.
The abundant whiskers are used as feelers when hunting fish, clams and squid.
Most of my pictures are taken in and around the city of Molde, witch is the capital of Møre og Romsdal, in the country of Norway
This one was taken is not far from the city limits of Molde
#The white wagtail is a small passerine bird in the family Motacillidae, which also includes pipits and longclaws. The species breeds in much of Europe and the Asian Palearctic and parts of North Africa. It has a toehold in Alaska as a scarce breeder.#

Piran is probably the most beautiful of Slovenia's coastal towns, perched on a tiny piece of land jutting into the sea. It feels more like an Italian coastal town, without all the Italian tourists, and for good reason: Piran was part of the Venetian empire from the late 13th century to the end of the 18th century.
Piran is an extremely picturesque small Italianate city on the Adriatic coast of Slovenia. It is one of Slovenia's four coastal cities, including Izola, Koper, and Portoroz. It's Italian styling is due to its proximity to the Italian border and once belonged to Italy. The boat harbor is full of small colorful fishing boats. The main square is near the sea and full of activity. The streets are typical narrow winding medieval streets that are a joy to explore and find hidden squares inside the various neighborhoods. The Church on the hill is complete with a separate bell tower and baptistry. There is a walkway connecting the churchyard to a beach along the shore. The small peninsula of the city hosts a beautiful pedestrian street of various restaurants with delicious seafood and a gorgeous view of the sunset over the adjacent peninsula (in Croatia). The lighthouse at the tip of the peninsula is unique.
Piran offers great views of the small Slovene coastline, including views of nearby Trieste, large shipping vessels, and rolling hills. Hidden treasures include an old aquarium, steep winding streets, and local people fishing from the shore.
Beautiful pasque flowers gone to seed and Image Lake awaken to a rosy sunrise underneath Washington's most remote volcanic peak, known by the Suak Indian Tribe as "Tda-ko-buh-ba", but also known as Glacier Peak. This location in the Glacier Peak Wilderness comes as close to heaven on earth as anything my imagination can possibly conjure up. Looking out across the meadow and lake to Glacier Peak one feels the pure essence of a wilderness area, an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by people, and where we are just visitors who cannot remain in a place of such unspoiled beauty. Image Lake is not very accessible and I approached the lake as part of an extended 7 day backpacking trip with the Sierra Club. Our route took us up and over Spyder Gap's Lyman Glacier, scrambling down into the Lyman Lake Basin, up and over Cloudy Pass, over to Image Lake, and out through Flower Dome and Buck Creek Pass-about a 60 mile loop trip including side trips.
Western pasqueflower, or Anemone occidentalis has a less than showy bloom but you won’t miss the next stage, which resembles a fuzzy mop of hair. An early bloomer, the seed pods last all summer on mountain slopes and meadows in middle to high elevations.
This is a focus stack of 6 images taken at F11.
In most parts of the Highlands there is a very great demand for Council houses, but very few become available for relet each year. This means that, although there are thousands of households on our waiting lists (currently over 9,000) only a small number can be housed each year. There is a much greater demand for accommodation than we are able to meet and it will not be possible to house everyone who applies. Our first priority is to give houses to people in the most housing need - to families with children or to other people who may be vulnerable in some way, because of age or health, who are homeless or who live in insecure, overcrowded or substandard accommodation.
One of the most iconic places in the Dolomites is without doubt the Drei Zinnen/Tre Cime massive.
You can make a trip around this wonderful massive, but be prepared to do it with lots of other enthusiasts who want to do the same. Even in October it was extremely busy, so in summer it must be a tourist highway with some traffic jams.
But also it is easy to evade this when coming up to this point you can walk down a little further to discover more (and even better) wonderful scenery, that I will show later.
This shot BTW took me a lot of time to find, and also in post-processing it was a difficult one. I wanted to show the dimensions of the peaks, but very close there was a strong backlight so I couldn't find a decent angle. At the top the backlight too was very prominent, it was difficult to get some contrast on the one hand, and on the other to get some light on the peaks that were at most places in a lot of shade.
By stitching 6 shots in front of the hotel and church, I could show a little bit how impressive they are, and when you look at the middle peak there are two black dots, that you might think these are birds, but in fact they are small airplanes.
57605 'Totnes Castle' passing Cockwood Harbour at high tide, with the 17.50 Exeter St.Davids - Penzance on Sat 25th August 2018.
I was chuffed to finally get this in decent light, having tried and failed several times during family holidays over the last few years.

The most popular route from Wensleydale to Swaledale is to drive up over Buttertubs Pass. But coming back towards Wensleydale I decided to take a very steep, winding and narrow country lane (appropriately known as Cross Top) that took me up the side of Swaledale and over Askrigg Common, before descending into the village of Askrigg in Wensleydale. The lane ran alongside Oxnop Common on the southern side of Swaledale where the dry stone walls, small stone farmhouses and stone barns are a feature of this classic Dales landscape.
My most challenging and time consuming project yet. Goal= Recreate the Nomad Statue.
Status= Achieved.
Complete upgrade of my old obi-wan. Entirely hand painted.
Tunic is card (my usual), in a more sand colour (with added dirt). Bottom of tunic is cut and shaped to look like flowing.
Cape is a larger piece of card cut specifically to that shape and painted. Saber is a cut official version. Backpack is an upside down rebel trooper, which 'cycler rifle' tacked on. Personally I think it came out amazing and am thoroughly pleased with the result.
I'll upload my entry photo to Chris W's contest tomorrow (with both obi versions).
As always lets me know what you think! :)
Also quick shoutout/credit to Marina (tagged), who inspired me to create a fig in this style (highly detailed and in an unusual moving style :)
Most likely an Allen's, but not seen during this new construction. Chris found this location high in a spiny tree along the Madagascar trail.
Most of the walls have vanished on this old prairie barn in the meadow. Captured near Blaine Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Most shots on the internet of the Beara Bowl was shot down from near the water, but because of my bad knee I couldn't climb down there without risking a bad fall. So I shot this from the road. On the opposite side of the bay is Dursey Island and Garinish point.
For most people traveling around the UK it looks like GWR has completely retired their HST fleet and only uses those horrible Hitachi trains. Or at least for their long distance trains. Luckily the comfortable HST's still run in Cornwall on some relativaly local services to/from Penzance. After a cold autumn morning in oktober, one of those HST's passed near a warm sunny beach in Cornwall. The destination of this short hop from Plymouth has almost been reached
Most random is the pattern of fallen leaves, but the brick colors look also somewhat random. iPhone 8+ photo.
Aerial view of the Chico, Butte County, California, area including Oroville (in lower left), Oroville Dam (near center foreground), and Lake Oroville (in lower right); and, most importantly, smoke from the beginning of the Camp Wildfire. The thick smoke obscures this view of Chico (toward the upper left} and Paradise (a bit right of center background—and which was about to be incinerated). I shot this image in the late morning one year ago, while on a commercial flight from Indianapolis to San Francisco. Seeing the smoke billowing from the raging fire below—plus seeing the effects of a strong wind, whipping the blaze onwards—made me ponder and worry about the overall effects of the fire and of the people, along with all living creatures, in the fire’s path.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with California and what’s been happening here; the Camp Wildfire, which started on November 8, 2018, was the deadliest wildfire in the state’s history—more than 80 people died in the blaze!
Most likely the Worlds largest Emoji of its type, this part of the zietgiest of our times can be found down Puddling lane. Part of the Tank and Tobin art expo on today 23/11/2024 here is a link to its face book details www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=569971592437932&set=a.14... at the Small country town of Longwood in central Victoria is this very large Emoji. Quite a contrast to the rural setting you will find it in. just don’t go on the other side of the fence as the angus cattle might change the expression on the emojis face to one of laughter at your expense.
Alas they had free beer and sausage but with no designated driver the beer never eventuated, but if you make you way there fast you might get a couple : )
Between the left most star in Orion’s belt, Alnitak, and Betelgeuse, Orion’s shoulder, is Messier 78, shown near the center of this image. This is a reflection nebula in which the light from very powerful blue stars reflects off the surrounding dust. Some of the dust is so thick in front of the stars it completely blocks the reflected light from the dust cloud behind. It is a very busy region.
The reddish magenta band on the left is Barnard’s Loop, a half circle 14 degrees in diameter (about 300 light years in diameter at Orion) of hydrogen alpha emission that surrounds Orion’s belt and sword. I hope to have more images of the entire Loop later along with what we know and don’t know about it origins. The Loop is attributed to E. E. Barnard who made the first long exposure images of it on film in 1895, but it may have been first observed by William Hershel in 1786.
Most of these objects are about 1600 light years from Earth but behind the left edge of Barnard’s Loop is the open cluster of yellow stars, NGC 2112, which is about 3,000 light years distant. It all makes for a very beautiful, well composed artistic scene, another fine example of Mother Nature at her best.
This image was made in my backyard in the northeast heights of Albuquerque, New Mexico using over 200 exposures through L, R, G, B, and Ha filters with my Takahashi FSQ 106 telescope and ZWO ASI6200MM camera over two nights in late November 2021. The image is displayed as natural color. M78_LHaRGB_211130_RQFugate
Most of the wintry pictures I've been posting this year were taken in previous years.
This one is from 2016.
We haven't had any real winter so far this year.
I think it's been the mildest winter on record here.
Most frogs can't tolerate prolonged sunbathing; it would dry out their porous skin, which needs to stay moist. So, this frog won't be in the sun for long and will look for a shady spot.
