Rock pipit (Anthus petrosus)
Meaning behind the name:
Anthus = Greek myth; Anthus' son was killed by his fathers horses and changed into a bird which imitated the neighing of horses (not litterally) but fled at their sight.
petrosus = Latin meaning "Rock, stone" defined as: "full of rocks." Refers to the habitat along the rocky coast where the bird is found.
Pipits were once thought to be a type of lark. But, in 1768 the English term "pipit" was used by birdwatchers in the neighbourhood of London in imitation of the Meadow pipits "pip-it" type call. It was Bechstein who separated the pipits from the larks in 1795, and a new family group name for them was created (using the Greek Anthus in their scientific name.)
There were three main species recorded: Meadow, Rock and Tree pipit, and all three were officially documented by 1843 by Yarrell.

The horses paw and prance and neigh,
Fillies and colts like kittens play,
And dance and toss their rippled manes
Shining and soft as silken skeins...
~Oliver Wendell Holmes
but that was a darn good day
and i am SORE
and a weakling
(and I got muh hurr cutted! but not in this shot)
"i don't have much to say
but that was a darn good day"
and I'm sitting on a roll of hay
I like making turtles out of clay
and eating food off a tray
watching sunsets by the bay
and listening to a horse neigh...

We love John.

Jacob took these two photos.Ha. Well in my neighborhood with my camera. Even though you would not suspect this was taken in a development with hundreds of homes stacked on top of eachother. It is just this random spot at the begininning that is just lovely.
Evergarden Equestrian’s third annual Valentine’s Neigh Show included an in-hand halter and costume class. Participants adorned themselves and their horses in festively fun costumes to walk and trot throughout the whimsical gardens of the show grounds. Brightly colored flowers of pinks and reds sprinkled the path and heart-shaped balloons were scattered here and there. There were beautiful trees with pink blossoms and twinkling lights hanging from the branches. Every competitor took home a participation ribbon! Thank you Nayla for decorating the show area for the in-hand halter and costume competition - and thank you again, Evergarden Equestrian for putting together a dazzling class!

Is there any doubt why Canada would picked the "Regal" maple leaf as their flag symbol? It's simple, stunning, descriptive and colorful.... like our neighors to the north!
And they have so many.....
I like to see the Maple Leaf fly next to our Stars & Stripes! That says a lot,....

I took this Meadow Pipit yesterday morning after a heavy frost when all the water had frozen. There were about twenty Meadow Pipits and one Pied Wagtail walking on a frozen pool and apparently feeding on insects on the icy grasses protruding through the ice. I managed to capture this one skating on ice so you can see the pale pinkish legs, which differentiate it from the dark-legged Water Pipit I have posted recently. Meadow Pipit is also less white underneath (more buffy), more crisply streaked on the breast, and has streaks on the back. Meadow Pipit also lacks a strong eyebrow (supercilium) though that is variable on Meadow Pipit. The very similar Tree Pipit migrates to sub-Saharan Africa for winter so any pale-legged pipits in Britain in winter are likely to be Meadow Pipits. Meadow Pipits breed in grassy habitats throughout much of Britain though they are most abundant in the uplands. In winter they usually wander to lower ground, especially to the coast.
Its scientific name Anthus pratensis translates as "small bird of the meadows". Anthus was a small bird that inhabited grasslands mentioned by Pliny but not identified as a Pipit. Anthus was also the son of Antinous and Hippodamia who was killed by his father's horses. The Greek myth is that he metamorphosed into a bird that imitated the neighing of horses, but fled at their sight.
An ideal scene for a photograph of a lake, plenty of clouds coverage, but no people :-)

Peter & I went for a stroll one evening in a little village called Bredhurst. This time it was me that wandered off & look what I found......these beauties had just been put to bed the sun was getting low & was casting a lovely warm glow on the stables & well how could I resist depressing the shutter button.
These forests are bounded to old stories passed from one generation to the next. According to one of these legends, Lord Arnau was a nobleman who was condemned for his cruelty and lechery to ride a horse in flames for eternity in this forest without being able to find any peace. There are several people who believe that they have heard his horse neighing and others who even have claimed that they have seen him riding before a storm.
Muchas historias que han pasado de padres a hijos durante años tienen lugar en estos bosques. Según una de estas leyendas, el conde Arnau era un rico noble que fue condenado por su crueldad y lascivia a vagar por toda la eternidad con un caballo en llamas por estos parajes sin ser capaz de encontrar jamás la paz. Mucha gente cree que han escuchado a su caballo relinchar y otros que incluso han asegurado que lo han visto cabalgando antes de una tormenta.
Meadow Pipits are a fairly common breeding bird of moors, grasslands and dunes. There are nearly 2 million breeding pairs in Britain but it is still amber listed because of a 25-50% decline over the past 25 years. They are largely confined to Europe too so they are classed as "near threatened" globally. On the Pennine Moors near to where I live they are the commonest LBJ and you can hear their seep seep seep calls wherever you go in the summer, though they wander to lower ground in winter. Usually their only distinguishing feature is white outer tail feathers which you can see well from this low angle. But beware as other birds like Skylark and Whitethroat are also LBJs with white outer tail feathers. Most birders contract the name to Mippet, as they can't simply use Pipit as there are other species of pipit in Britain. I photographed this one among heather on the Peak District moors. Its scientific name Anthus pratensis translates as "small bird of the meadows". Anthus was a small bird that inhabited grasslands mentioned by Pliny but not identified as a Pipit. Anthus was also the son of Antinous and Hippodamia who was killed by his father's horses. The Greek myth is that he metamorphosed into a bird that imitated the neighing of horses, but fled at their sight.
Holmi, Leiri and Stjarni...three of my favorite horse neigh-bors at the ranch...probably a combination of 60-70 years of wisdom packed into these three small, powerful beings.

As I said in the previous post, sometimes, when you shoot a location, you get some interesting images from the place. They are very similar, but they are not the same. They both have similar light, the same subject, common elements...but they are different.
In some cases, you can't decide which one you like most, in fact some days you prefer one and the next day your choice is the other.
In Iceland that happens very often, you love the location, you shoot some photos, and then you can't decide....every place is so gorgeous!!
It happened again with this previous shot at Vatnsnes, where the moving horses where changing the composition all the time.With that Midnightsun light they were very nervious, neighing and walking around. You can check the other shot here (and in the first comment of this post).

A veces, cuando se fotografía un lugar, se obtienen algunas imágenes insteresantes a la vez de ese lugar. Estas fotografías, pese a ser muy similares, pero no son exactamente iguales. Las dos pueden tener una luz similar, el mismo sujeto, elementos comunes... pero son muy diferentes.
En algunos casos, no se puede decidir cuál de las imágenes es más atractiva, de hecho, hay veces en las que te puedes decantar por una y al día siguiente de la elección es la otra.
En Islandia, eso sucede muy a menudo, encuentras un lugar genial, disparas algunas fotos, y después ya no puedes decidir ....
Me sucede lo mismo con esta foto de los caballos en Vatnsnes, donde su movimiento cambiaba la composición de la imagen constantemente. Bajo la luz del sol de medianoche estaban muy nerviosos relinchando y trotando sin parar. Se puede comparar con la otra fotografía aquí (y en el primer comentario de este post).

One of the houses in our neighborhood always is a standout in its Christmas decor. The older architecture of the house gives it the perfect Classic Christmas look.
Captured nine years ago on Christmas Day, it's still one of my favorite Christmas season images...
Let is snow, let it snow, let it snow!
A cold day on the outside isn't quite so cold on the inside when you have friends. I asked them if they would be my friends - they said neigh.
This smaller cousin of the Curlew breeds in small numbers in Northern Scotland and on the Orkney & Shetland Isles.
It is more compact with a much quicker action in flight. The head has definite stripes. From a distance it can sound like a neighing horse!
Not my best ever shot, but I was pleased to see these as they are only a passage bird this far South!
We moved to rural FL recently. These really are some of our neighbors; we see more horses, mules, goats, cows and dogs than we do automobiles or people. We love that!!
Ricky : “It’s 65 degrees Fahrenheit outside... It’ll probably snow tomorrow so I’m riding my horse today!”
Me : “Where are your shoes??!”
Ricky : “In the house where they are safe from the puppy! Don’t tell me I’ll get sick without shoes because you know germs make you sick, not being cold!”
Me : “Meh.. You got me.”
Ricky : “Okay! See you later! Me and Neigh Neigh are heading out! GIDDY UP, NEIGH NEIGH!!”
A glorious stormy sunset. Luckily the sun made an appearence just at the right time.

on·o·mat·o·poe·ia…. When I joined a sorority in college, there were lots of secrets: words, handshakes, rituals. I wasn’t a fan. One of my friends could not remember the secret word. It was a two syllable word, and yet she continually substituted onomatopoeia for the real word! So thanks for this challenge reminding me of one of my favorite people. And for finally educating me to what it meant. ODC: onomatopoeia

How on earth is this shot neigh on 25yrs old? It seems like yesterday & yet it's nearly a quarter of a century old. Jesus, I'm getting heritage! And no before anyone asks, I've absolutely no idea what the HST power car numbers are behind 37415. I was then as I am now, completely NFI!

my thoughts on this camera:
Egypt is on of the noisiest countries I've visited. During my time there I remember always hearing crowds buzzing, engines roaring, horns beeping or horses neighing. The most peaceful time I experienced was sailing on a felucca in Aswan and admiring the signs along the nile. On the west bank you see the a mountain marked by the Dome of the Winds and the ancient Tombs of the Nobles are carved on its side.
Sorry people, but another shot from one of my favorite sunset locations. I'm a sucker for a sunset reflecting over water. A mixed day of rain & sunshine lead to this dramatic sunset scene.

Their natural habitat is in the mountains of South Western Aftrica where they live in groups of 7-12 animals. They built up families which stay together lifelong. The zebras recognize each other by their fur markings and olfaction.Their neighing is similar to that of horses. . This species in endangered.
