Peek a Boo.... look at it large to see detail in eye. Took quite a few shots in manual to get this with the reeds blowing back and forth
Another peeking animal - this time a Red Morph Screech Owl. This one attracted a great deal of attention a few weeks ago and was out today when we drove past. This is my first time with this bird sunning itself. Not much looking around in the bright sunlight but it did peek occassionally.
One of the red hens heard me enter the coop and has come to see what is happening. There might be treats.
Chickens are much, much smarter than we give them credit for. When you keep just a small flock you get to observe their behaviour. You recognize individual personalities within the context of their "chicken-ness". The hens are highly aware of their surroundings. They can figure things out. One will call out a warning to the rest of the hens if there is reason to be alarmed. They are inquisitive. They engage fully in their daily life. They experience pleasure and happiness and one can observe their "happiness" when they are given natural living conditions and are treated gently, with respect for their way of being in the world.
The way most chickens are raised and slaughtered is an abomination. Humanity is diminished when we treat other creatures so cavalierly, as if they were garbage. Just recently, there was film footage released at a Butterball turkey processing plant. The abuse was sickening. And how does the food industry answer? Lobby governments hard to make it a criminal offense to take and distribute footage showing what really goes on in feedlots, ILOs, CAFOs, and slaughterhouses. The food industry has been successful in getting many governments on board with this measure.

The Wolf Spider.
Wolf spiders are usually brown, grey, black or tan, with dark body markings — most commonly stripes. Their colouring is effective camouflage, helping them catch their prey and keep safe from predators. They range from a quarter of an inch to over an inch (6.4mm to 3cm) long, with males typically smaller than females.
Wolf spiders’ eight eyes are arranged in three rows, with two medium-size eyes placed to the sides of the top row, two large eyes in the middle row, and four smaller eyes in the bottom row. They have excellent night vision, and primarily hunt in the dark.
Wolf spiders are solitary creatures that roam alone in the night, stalking prey. They typically live on the ground, though some are known to climb partly up trees or dive into water to catch their prey. Some species hide in vegetation or leaf litter, while others dig tunnels or use other animals’ tunnels. Some wolf spiders hunt in a set territory and return to a specific place to feed, while others wander nomadically with no territory or home.
Wolf spiders eat mostly ground-dwelling insects and other spiders. Especially large females might eat small vertebrates. Some species chase down and grab their prey, while others wait for it to walk by and ambush it. Wolf spiders often jump on their prey, hold it between their legs and roll over on their backs, trapping their prey with their limbs before biting it.
Wolf spiders use their keen eyesight, camouflage colouring, speedy movements and high sensitivity to vibrations to be aware of and keep safe from predators. They will bite when threatened.
After mating, female wolf spiders lay several dozen eggs or more and wrap them in silk, creating a large egg sac about the size of a pea. The female keeps the egg sac close; if she is a nomadic species, she will carry it with her under her abdomen everywhere she goes. Tunnel dwellers leave their egg sacs in the tunnel when hunting, but bring it outside during the day because the warm sun helps the eggs develop faster. If the female is separated from the egg sac, she will search furiously for it. Mothers are known to exhibit aggressive behaviour when carrying their egg sacs.
This maternal behaviour doesn’t stop after the eggs hatch. After the babies are born, they crawl onto the mother’s back. She carries them there for several weeks or longer until they are large enough to venture off on their own.

Here we have another one hot off the id-iom press. I’m trying to work out where our motivation for certain pieces comes from and to be honest i’m not entirely sure. Our muse doesn’t really give explanations as to why we should do what we do so we just try to get on with it. This one, quite obviously, is called Peek-A-Boo! and will hopefully be off to the framers soon.
Cheers

These are the buildings the inhabitants of Amsterdam don't see or look at anymore. Only recently has this building from retailstore Peek & Cloppenburg made it onto the recognized monuments list.
Peek & Cloppenburg has been at this location since it built it in 1917. Designed by Anton J. Joling it has been known as the 'Het Broekenpaleis' (the pants palace) as the two founders Johann Theodor Peek and Heinrich Anton Adolph Cloppenburg have been selling cloth and garments since 1869.
The official address is Dam 5.
It's the kind of building you walk past and don't pay any attention to, but it's a huge building with some nice ornaments. Crazy tidbit. P&C had a turnover of a million guilders in 1890 already!
You couldn't tell, but I spent a lot of time in Photoshop getting this image right. Best fix is finding the absolute black and white points with the Threshold tool.
Slide the Threshold tool to the left and right and place markers at the darkest and lightest spots and then colorcorrect the image with levels and selecting the black and white points you just found with the Threshold tools to mark the right exposure for the whites and blacks.
The RMC Tokina 24mm is a lens from the 80's and it's kind enough to me for these kinds of photos. Taken at F/8 with cloudy whitebalance setting.
Daily challenge for 31st May.
