Werner Herzog, un grand cinéaste, a un jour déclaré que « l’univers était monstrueusement indifférent à la présence de l’homme »….S’il a raison, c’est de cette petite maison perdue sur les rivages des Îles de la Madeleine au Québec, que je voudrais voir l’univers se foutre de moi! (patrice)

Werner Herzog, a great filmmaker, once said that "the universe is monstrously indifferent to the presence of man" ... .If he is right, it is from this small house lost on the shores of the Magdalen Island in Quebec, that I would like to see the universe not give a damn about me! (Patrice)

"Solo se riusciremo a guardare l'universo come un tutt'uno in cui ogni parte riflette la totalità e in cui la grande bellezza sta nella diversità cominceremo a capire chi siamo e dove stiamo."
Tiziano Terzani
When I first moved here, there were Phoebes that nested in the eaves of a small shed. This little one flew to the nearest perch he could find upon leaving the security of the nest - nearby chairs on the deck.
With my long lens, I was able to keep this moment undisturbed by my presence.
It is the presence of milky fog that allows me to control the scenography here and emphasize the depth of the scene.
For a separate the foreground and theatrical backdrop as much as possible.
With a closed aperture, which is necessary here, this can be done with only a few tricks.
For example, in cinema we used pyrotechnics - the effect of smoke and spotlights.
in general, I am satisfied with the result of the picture, given that it is from a boat that rocks and floats with the current, and the stream moves along the bridge. A kaleidoscope in one word, changing rhythms every second..
- just have time to compose your composition !
.. but if you look at the bw album?

Taken during a very misty walk through Barnes's Grove, I found myself deep in the conifers (as you do) and was taken by this slender apparition. The mood fitted a mono image in my view.
recently, on a dewy morning, i walked through a field. at first, i didn't notice this web. i needed to pause and breathe. pause and see. a big part of photography is being present. i'm grateful for that gift.
I last shot this tree back in November when it was resplendent in its autumn colour, now here we are in June and it still forms an impressive and imposing presence in green. Always a strange feeling when you walk under it knowing that weight is above you!!
Petrea volubilis, commonly known as queen's wreath or purple wreath, is an evergreen flowering vine native to Tropical Americ.
It is found especially on the banks of rivers and streams, from northern Mexico to Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay in the Antilles and in Venezuela. Depending on the climate, it can have up to two bloommings in the year and is very attractive for butterflies.
It is a very flowery and ornamental vine, often used to cover pergolas, canvases, railings or even leaning on walls.
As a climbing plant, it grows to a height of 12 meters, but as a shrub it grows to 4 meters tall and the flowers emerge from bracts.
The flowers form in large clusters, more than 30 cm in length, and may have a purplish-blue color (most common) or even a variety with white flowers. It prefers cultivation in full sun, but tolerates and develops satisfactorily in half shade.
In Brazil receive the name of Flor de São Miguel ( Saint Michael flower).
my presence on Flickr will continue to be limited in the next week or so

Happy Caturday!! if you are enduring this time of sheltering at home alone, consider a rescue cat :-)

The darkness of an ancient entity, primordal fear from the shadows, presence of something right behind you. Turn around, all you see is waving branches. You are alone. Alone in your crazy reality. Something wants to get inside. Than you realize, the something is a guy with a camera, who wants to get into your ancient shadows. Not even primordal fears of yours cannot stop him!
Although the birds have left, and the fish have sunk deep in the pond, I can't be fooled by this silence. Even if my eyes insist I'm alone -- I've got this feeling that someone else is here.
Marsco is a peak in the Red Hills on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. It lies on the east of Glen Sligachan. What it lacks in height it makes up for with its sheer presence.
According to a song from Whtiney Housten: "And in that moment of time I will feel, I will feel eternity". Now, here we have one short moment inside St. Peter's Basilica. It may be a photographic approach to bridge past and presence with the captue of movement, with the capture of one single moment in time.
This photo, taken November 6, 2021, documents the presence of wildflowers and butterflies in late fall in the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area in western Colorado. The most abundant flowers were on on rabbitbrush, Chrysothamnus nauseosus. I saw dozens of clouded sulphur butterflies, Colias philodice on rabbitbrush in the 3 balmy days that I was there. This photo shows the only sunflower blossom that I saw in 3 days.
For reasons that I do not understand, I was never able to get a view of the dorsal surface of the wings, so the butterflies might have been orange sulphurs, Colias erytheme.
As I was traveling to this area, I expected to see only dried flowers and no insects. What a pleasant surprise!
Camp Mercier. Présence d'oiseaux mais trop farouches. À la Forêt Montmorency: Pas de photographe. Pas d'oiseaux. Tout le monde a perdu l'habitude de ces lieux. Very poor this year up to now..

Thought that this scene on a macro level represents how man by his presence is changing the environment

Was a priviledge as always to be in their presence.
It is imperative we preserve our old growth forests before we lose this endangered and magnificent bird forever.
They need old growth forests to support all their life stages and especially because they eat almost entirely a diet consisting of Northern Flying Squirrels.
The birds in BC are basically extirpated with a captive breeding program that was doomed to fail from the start.
WA did a better job of managing the logging of old growth forests and conserving this bird but still are battling with the increasing population of Barred Owls. Barred Owls take over the territory of Spotted Owls and push them out of an area causing them to ultimately starve and perish. We can't blame the Barred Owls as we paved their way over here. The Barred Owls have also displaced and killed off many Western Screech-Owls. In Vancouver and the Lower Mainland we no longer have Screech-Owls due to development and Barred Owls.
Seeing these owls is always a treasure but along comes with it sadness that it may be the last time I see that particular bird or even species. Each year they seem to continually decline at a rate of 7% per year and population estimates in WA are around 200 birds.
We must do all we can to prevent this owl from disappearing from the little remaining old growth forests we have left if not the forests will be a far darker place.
On a happy note seeing this species a few days ago put an end to my North American Owl Big Year. I never set out to do a big year but due to travel and circumstance I was able to see all 19 species of naturally occurring owls in NA (excluding Mexico) in 12 months.
Getting Back to the Spotted Owls it was fantastic to see them and to see a few juveniles which give us all hope for the future. These owls do not reproduce every year so to see 2 healthy, curious babies you need to be greatful. They have a long hard road ahead and I wish them all the success and luck in the world... they are going to need it.
