Anguloa orchid plants, otherwise known as tulip orchids or cradle orchids, are usually seen thriving in the forest floors of the high Andean regions of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Peru. Given that their natural habitat is in the Andes Mountains, which has an elevation anywhere from 1800 to 2500 meters, the general assumption is that these orchids are expected to grow better in a cooler environment, compared to a hotter one. Anguloa orchids can be a bit hard to come by, depending on where you live. I have shot these rare orchids in San Francisco, CA .Conservatory of Flowers.

 

I arrived at the site to discover I hadn't packed my tripod in the car boot. I can't handle a 500mm f4 lens unsupported for any length of time, so that was a huge negative at the start of the day having driven the 40 miles from Nottingham. The consequence was that of 300 plus shots taken all were to a greater, or lesser degree soft and largely scrap, which was a shame, as I thought I'd otherwise got a range of nice clean shots of these lovely little birds. This was one of the slightly more presentable ones. I haven't had much joy with Whinchats over the 6 years I've been photographing birds - the curse of the Whinchat strikes again!

 

Many thanks to Stuart Allen for the locational advice, it was spot on. Snag was a week had gone by and that was something else I omitted to double check this morning!

Dipper - Cinclus Cinclus

aka Water Ouzel

 

Dippers are members of the genus Cinclus in the bird family Cinclidae, named for their bobbing or dipping movements. They are unique among passerines for their ability to dive and swim underwater.

 

They have a characteristic bobbing motion when perched beside the water, giving them their name. While under water, they are covered by a thin, silvery film of air, due to small bubbles being trapped on the surface of the plumage.

 

Dippers are found in suitable freshwater habitats in the highlands of the Americas, Europe and Asia. In Africa they are only found in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. They inhabit the banks of fast-moving upland rivers with cold, clear waters, though, outside the breeding season, they may visit lake shores and sea coasts.

 

The high haemoglobin concentration in their blood gives them a capacity to store oxygen greater than that of other birds, allowing them to remain underwater for thirty seconds or more, whilst their basal metabolic rate is approximately one-third slower than typical terrestrial passerines of similar mass. One small population wintering at a hot spring in Suntar-Khayata Mountains of Siberia feeds underwater when air temperatures drop below −55 °C (−67 °F).

 

Dippers are completely dependent on fast-flowing rivers with clear water, accessible food and secure nest-sites. They may be threatened by anything that affects these needs such as water pollution, acidification and turbidity caused by erosion. River regulation through the creation of dams and reservoirs, as well as channelization, can degrade and destroy dipper habitat.

 

Dippers are also sometimes hunted or otherwise persecuted by humans for various reasons. The Cyprus race of the white-throated dipper is extinct. In the Atlas Mountains dippers are claimed to have aphrodisiacal properties. In parts of Scotland and Germany, until the beginning of the 20th century, bounties were paid for killing dippers because of a misguided perception that they were detrimental to fish stocks through predation on the eggs and fry of salmonids.

First light in the Val d'Orcia. Light morning haze lies over the valley.

Here and there a dog barks or a pheasant tap makes itself felt. Otherwise there is silence over the landscape and I look forward to the resulting pictures...

 

Erstes Licht im Val d'Orcia. Leichter Morgendunst liegt über dem Tal.

Hier und da bellt ein Hund oder ein Fasanenhahn macht sich bemerkbar. Ansonsten liegt Stille über der Landschaft und ich freue mich auf die entstehenden Bilder...

Otherwise known as the Little Banded Goshawk, this is a ferocious raptor that attacks birds in their nests and deep inside canopy. The birds are patient and will wait for the right moment to strike. Often they attack the chicks in the nests, or even the parents. The birds are common in the countryside and seen a lot, but hard to get a decent shot.

 

We sighted this lone bird in the grasslands trying to hunt - there was a kingfisher nearby which we expected to be attacked. But the Shikra left the kingfisher and flew away to another place.

 

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback Much appreciated.

Otherwise known as ' Mud on Road Farm '

In the North York Moors

A resident shrike species - the most beautiful of the 3-4 we have here and a common bird in the countryside. They are easy to id and differentiated from their 2 other cousins by the thick brownish red coat on their backs. Size wise, they are also small and easy to distinguish visually.

 

Apart from the minor coloration difference, behaviour wise they are very similar the Long Tailed Shrike and Brown Shrike, though the Long tailed Shrike is the biggest of all.

 

The birds tend to sit on a small thorny bush like this and survey the area - often for 10-15 mins before they dive and get back to the same perch. Sometimes they eat the prey directly where possible, otherwise, the birds impale the prey onto the thorns and eat them.

 

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

One of my favourite views on the South-West coast path. Taken during my walk from Prawle Point to Start Point and back, whilst on holiday last month. 10 miles, all told and a super walk, all the better on a lovely September day.

 

Great Mattiscombe Sands is a quiet beach, not many people get to it, slightly off the beaten track, up Devon single track lanes to Start Farm (private) car park. There is a direct descent on foot to the beach from the car park along a rough track, down the valley seen at the far end. Otherwise it's the coast path walk to get there as I did.

 

Seals can usually be seen hauled out and basking on the rocky islands at Partridge Point, top right. These can be seen more closely by following the coast path around the base of Partridge Point; from there a climb along the edge of the cliffs takes the walker to the Start Point ridge, where you can either take the metalled track over the other side down to the lighthouse at Start Point, or return and loop back down the beach access path, with great views of Start Bay, both of which I did, before heading back to Prawle Point.

Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.

 

E. M. Forster

  

As far as iconic pieces of public art go, none may be as daringly modern or whimsical as Minneapolis’ iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry.

 

This giant spoon and cherry was erected in 1985 by artist Claes Oldenburg and his wife, Coosje van Bruggen and is the centerpiece of the Walker Art Center’s Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, the largest urban sculpture park in the world. Oldenburg is an artist who is known for making oversized versions of everyday objects and food products. Together with his wife he set up a number of public sculptures, including Chicago’s Batcolumn sculpture. The spoon was Oldenburg’s idea, who had a habit of doodling spoons ever since 1962 when he was inspired by a spoon resting on a piece of fake chocolate. The cherry in the piece was van Bruggen’s idea, wanting to use it as a comment on the garden’s otherwise staid layout.

 

The spoon itself weighs 5,800 pounds and the cherry, another 1,200 pounds. The cherry’s stem also acts as a fountain which sprays into the bowl of the spoon and off into the pond beneath. Even the pond itself has meaning, being shaped to resemble a linden seed, drawing attention to the rows of linden trees planted nearby.

 

The city of Minneapolis seems to have largely embraced the massive sculpture, expressing almost universal outrage when Spoonbridge and Cherry was vandalized in 2012 as part of a “Kony 2012” protest. The artwork was cleaned up and still remains as a somewhat goofy, definitely unforgettable icon of the Minnesota city.

The Red-bellied Grackle is a distinctive rare blackbird of cloud forest in the Colombian Andes. It is large, long-tailed, and heavy-billed with a bright red belly and otherwise glossy black plumage. Red-bellied Grackles moves through the forest in groups, giving a variety of calls. While it has been recorded from all three ranges of the Andes in Colombia, contemporary localities are few.

Yes - it rained last night! We now have a few green tufts on the otherwise still yellow lawn, but it left some droplets on the flowers!

[Were you wondering, not SOOC...;-)...more intimidating larger]

One of my favorite image processors in the photog community is Ryan Dyar. In some of his photos there are these Dr. Suess's looking flowers. I knew I would some day find myself high enough up in the Northern Hemisphere to see one.

They primarily grow at higher elevations and can be found in the springtime scattered around the pacific northwest and Canada.

I'm not sure if it's a flower or a weed but I really like the way it twists into something that resembles a bottle brush found under the sink in Whoville. I still haven't been able figure out the name of this thing is....but some have said it's called fire weed. I'm not sure if thats true.

I took this one in British Columbia with my brotog William(Bill) McIntosh otherwise fondly known as "Tenacious B"

 

If you know what this thing is could you please post a comment. 🙏✌️

I'm spending a lot of time with the birds at the moment...

It's cold.. they're hungry. In return for food, I get to photograph them. It's a good equation :-)

 

I think this one probably has a leg injury, otherwise these birds rest and sleep standing up. But it looked content... calm. I'm sure it was enjoying the light.

  

Comments off for this one...

with my thanks for the quiet company :-)

A bit hazy but otherwise clear fall day in the Teton National Park, late morning reflections on Jenny lake, almost none of the people on the trail were wearing face coverings (and talking LOUDLY with each other), I really freaked out about catching the virus at this spot.

From a lookout around the UBC area, we parked to peer down on the ocean below. A serene moment, the stanchions made an interesting pattern as they interrupted an otherwise motionless ocean. A good time to catch a few colors as well as they reflected on the surface beneath the clouds.

Far from any town, near an old, abandoned research facility, the sound of a door being blown off its hinges breaks the otherwise undisturbed silence.

Out of the dark, musty interior of the building, an orange mist slithers silently into the open. As it exits the building, it begins to coalesce, forming into a concentrated glob, and moving in an unnerving, unnatural manner, almost as if it were sentient, guided by a phantom mind...Having gathered itself into a single, undulating mass, the mist pauses mid-air for a moment, and then, in an instant, bolts off into the distance, headed straight toward the nearest farmstead..

Something has awoken... some thing.

A daylily is a flowering plant in the genus Hemerocallis a member of the family Asphodelaceae, subfamily Hemerocallidoideae. Despite the common name, it is not in fact a lily. Gardening enthusiasts and horticulturists have long bred daylily species for their attractive flowers. Thousands of cultivars have been registered by local and international Hemerocallis societies. Daylilies are perennial plants, whose name alludes to its flowers, which typically last about a day. The flowers of most species open in early morning and wither during the following night, possibly replaced by another one on the same scape the next day. Some species are night-blooming. Daylilies are not commonly used as cut flowers for formal flower arranging, yet they make good cut flowers otherwise, as new flowers continue to open on cut stems over several days. Hemerocallis is native to Asia, primarily eastern Asia, including China, Korea, and Japan. This genus is popular worldwide because of the showy flowers and hardiness of many kinds. There are over 80,000 registered cultivars. Hundreds of cultivars have fragrant flowers, and more scented cultivars are appearing more frequently in northern hybridization programs. Some earlier blooming cultivars rebloom later in the season, particularly if their capsules, in which seeds are developing, are removed. 18992

This species is endemic to Brazil, where it generally occurs from Minas Gerais south to Rio Grande do Sul, and it occurs in wooded areas of all types in the Atlantic Forest region, to at least 2,000 m. It regularly visits feeders in small numbers. Both sexes of this hummingbird are attractive and distinctive. Males are primarily clad in deep green, with a brilliant deep red throat patch, a small but obvious white postocular spot, browner wings, and a bright red tail, while females share the spot behind the eye and the tail color of the male, but are otherwise rich orange over the entire underparts and on the rump.
