Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia guttata) male

Always lovely to hear the call of these beauties.

This reminds me of kids playing, one player hides his or her face, pops back into the view of the other and says Peekaboo! they often do the same with me hiding behind the feeder.

Happy furry Friday!

Wasp

I am not sure of the ID of this wasp seen on a leaf of a mirror plant yesterday.

Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday!

A young raccoon peered around the tree to see if I was gone yet.

The red squirrel or Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris)

I know - it's rubbish quality! The file is too small - but I came across this picture that I took in Hawaii a few years ago, and I have tried to make it clearer because it was such a lovely moment!

With my camera on burst setting I tried to track this tiny Eastern Spinebill as it flitted between flower clusters. This time I got lucky. Eastern Spinebills are honeyeaters, they like brightly coloured flowers of both natives and non-natives that give them a good source of nectar. As they can even hover mid-air as they feed, they are Australia's answer to the Hummingbird, and their wings make a similar sound.

Honeyeaters like the Eastern Spinebill are important pollinators of many native plants. They also drink the nectar from introduced plants such as fuchsias, and help pollinate non-native plants as well.

Once an Eastern Spinebill likes an area, it will stay. They are not migratory birds, but instead largely like to stay in one place. I hope these little treasures will be permanent visitors to my garden.

Leaf Curling Spider (Phonognatha graeffei) female

She was waiting for insects to get caught in her web.

Grass Snake (Natrix natrix) This grass snake was trying very hard to hide but he was keeping an eye on me the whole time.

Stop down to the lighthouse yesterday and covered with lots of ice after the blow the other day.

... and Franki, that goes to you

It's been 5 years now, exactly to the day, that one of my photo buddies is gone. He forgot to look in the rearview mirror and didn't see the mortal danger...we miss him dearly.

The waterfall was our favorite spot. There was never a single dull moment thanks to Franki, he was the one who always brought value to our shared passion, photography, and camaraderie. Last time I was there doing LE's, I managed to get this photo.I didn't realize it until I was coming home and sitting at my desktop computer and looking at the large screen. Delicate branches waved like hands through a hole. I was sure and that was my first mind, it was Franki with a peek a boo. I felt a gentle shivering inside me.

Thanks for taking the time and looking at my photo, I appreciate it very much!

Pigeon playing PEEK-A-BOO @ Castel Sant' Angelo, Rome

We rescued this little rose from the clearance corner at our local garden centre several years ago and it rewards us each summer with its sweet blooms.

Thanks for all the kind comments and faves on my images and I hope you're all staying safe and well in these strange times.

When I find a flower that is in the midst of blooming, I find myself overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of what I see before me. It seems as if all extraneous noise disappears. I am one with the flower.

A few minutes before a previous post of a similar view, with Parkhouse Hill just showing in the centre of the frame.

For anyone interested this photo is taken from the minor road above the pull-in at Cisterns Clough on the Buxton-Leek road my opinion a slightly better viewpoint than from the side of the main road

Eastern Screech-Owl hidden up at least 20-25 feet in a broken tree limb; the pines as you can see made it difficult to get a clear capture. We were so thankful to a birdwatcher that called us over to have a peek. Very exciting.

This link is from Cornell showing their camouflage abilities:

Sorry Explanation only in German:

Erklärung: Viele Versuche das Bild nach meinen Vorstellungen in sw zu entwickeln haben mich nicht überzeugt. Ich wollte den Bogen herausarbeiten und die harte sw-Eintwicklung in ps, mit Ebenen hart mischen, kommt meiner Vorstellung von dem Bild am nächsten. Nur habe ich ärgerliche Aliasing-Kanten. Stören sie zu sehr und wenn ja, wie kann man sie am besten reduzieren, wäre weichzeichen hier eine Lösung?

Danke und Gruß Chris

Blue-jay

The blue jay is a passerine bird in the family Corvidae, native to eastern North America. It lives in most of the eastern and central United States; some eastern populations may be migratory.
