The small milkweed bug is a species of seed bug in the family Lygaeidae.
It is found in north temperate regions of North America and is not a migratory insect. Only adults overwinter and they do not begin reproduction until the following April. Females are receptive to males in all seasons. The eggs are laid on milkweed in the spring.
Small milkweed bugs' primary sources of nutrients are flower nectar and milkweed seeds. If these food sources are limited, they may feed on other insects. (Wikipedia)
------------------
Although there was plenty of milkweed in the area, there were few flowers, so this Milkweed Bug is feasting on Pearly Everlasting flowers instead.
Pinhey Dunes, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. August 2022.
So I end my gallery in Indah Balyam. Happy, satisfied and grateful.
Thank you once again Adam and Lya for all the receptivity and affection. It was an amazing stay and I know I can return whenever I want until this lasts :)~
And thank you very much also to Lika, all the time, attention, patience and always sharing of my best experiences. You are amazing! ♥
or of the traveler who enters a strange country. Most photographers would feel a certain embarrassment in admitting publicly that they carried within them a sense of wonder, yet without it they would not produce the work they do, whatever their particular field. It is the gift of seeing the life around them clearly and vividly, as something that is exciting in its own right. It is an innate gift, varying in intensity with the individual’s temperament and environment.

Dürrnberg, also named Bad Dürrnberg, is an Austrian village part of the municipality of Hallein, in Hallein District (Tennengau), Salzburg State. It is the location of the Hallein Salt Mine.
The village is located on a hillside upon Salzach river and under the Obersalzberg mountain range. It lies close to Austrian borders with Bavaria, Germany and nearest German village is Oberau, few km after the frontier. Dürrnberg is 4 km far from Hallein, 20 from Salzburg and 12 from the Bavarian town of Berchtesgaden.
The Hallein Salt Mine, also known as Salzbergwerk Dürrnberg, is an underground salt mine located in the middle of the village. Opened for visitors in 1994, it hosts a museum and is receptive for tourism, as the other Austrian underground salt mines in Hallstatt and Altaussee.
If you’re convinced you’ll never be able to learn bird calls, start with the Gray Catbird. Once you’ve heard its catty mew you won’t forget it. Follow the sound into thickets and vine tangles and you’ll be rewarded by a somber gray bird with a black cap and bright rusty feathers under the tail. Gray Catbirds are relatives of mockingbirds and thrashers, and they share that group’s vocal abilities, copying the sounds of other species and stringing them together to make their own song.
Gray Catbirds often forage on the ground, flipping leaves aside with their bills. When they forage in the shrub layer, they glean food from foliage and twigs. They sing a discordant series of sounds that can be alternately tuneful and rasping. They are named for their mewing call and are receptive to pishing.

The Tree Swallows are back at Potter Marsh and are wasting little time getting some families started. This very receptive female waited for several minutes as this male tried several times to make things happen.

dusky grouse found at higher elevations....beautiful bird which also performs on the 'lek' looking for suitable mates...which is pretty much any receptive hen !
The breeding season for the North American Elk (Cervus canadensis) is in September and at this time, bulls fight to establish supremacy and breeding rights of the harems they establish. This bull is checking the receptive condition of the female for mating. There is a large population of these majestic animals in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.

Found a small herd of Musk ox on a suuny fall evening. Sitting still, the herd moved closer and closer. In this photo, a bull walkks behind a cow hoping that she will be receptive to his advances. She was not ready for him so she remained laying down.
A plains zebra stallion, like other male equids, curls up his top lip in order to heighten his sense of smell. Known as the flehmen response, this behaviour is usually seen when the stallion assesses how receptive the mare is for mating. The flehmen response may also occur if an individual picks up a strange scent.
Flehmen response is a serious matter for zebras, but I think Mother Nature shows us she does have a sense of humour....

Adopt a mall? Given the torrid time some of them have had during this pandemic they may well be receptive to the idea. You'll need deep pockets though - a weekly box of Winalot with a few tins of Pal (to prolong active life) are unlikely to cut it. Happy to report in this case The Marlands, which graces Southampton, is still open for business ... well at least it is today, who knows what the next few weeks will bring.
Also gracing Southampton, the station this time, is Freightliner Shed no. 66532 seen here exiting the tunnel and completing the last few miles to journey's end with an unidentified working from the north to the Maritime Container Terminal.
In case the Christmas festivities have taken their toll, the title is inspired by the film 'Marley & Me', copious details (and spoilers) for which can be found on Wiki.

Some adjectives that don't usually come to mind when describing the elk rut. Peaceful, gentle, placid, tender, mellow.
But occasionally, something that resembles tenderness and gentleness occurs. A cow elk will approach a bull and gently rub her head against his. I think the real purpose of this is related the pheromones released from the preorbital glands near the bull's eye. Rubbing their faces together likely enhances attraction/sexual receptiveness.
If you get a chance, enlarge this one and take a close look at the bull's right antler. Eight points...not something I see very often. His left one is a more typical six points. As for his body mass, he's pretty much peaked. A month or so after this was taken, his antlers will still be impressive, but his body will be considerably smaller. The strenuous nature of the rut will cause him to lose as much as 20% of his body weight.

Back staying local for the time being. In Cheshire West, with Cheshire East and the High Peak in one direction, Halton/Warrington another, Flintshire another and the Wirral and Liverpool City Region to the North. Most of the immediate areas I'd visit have low rates but spent some time checking the Cheshire rates and the area I live is the 9th highest ward in the county. Odd because all of the other areas in Ellesmere Port are much lower!
Think we are allowed to travel but it does seem pretty silly to allow people from High or Very High areas to travel out of the area to other lower areas and not sure how receptive I'd be if it was the other way round.

I did have mor twirl effect shots but I might leave them for a bit. One of my standards is my dark Series. So here we go.
Happy Slider Sunday
This was one of the last pictures I took with my 70-200 mm VR f/2.8 lens before the autofocus motor permanently quit working. (For a while it was still receptive to pleading and cajoling.)
The lens really takes fantastic pictures but I don't plan to investigate repairing it. Money is a factor, of course, but the real reason is that the lens is so freaking heavy!! I don't want to have that albatross around my neck anymore!
So now I've gone to a 70-210 lens from the 1980s my stepdad gave me. It's not quite as sharp but much lighter and smaller - and in the end that really matters more.
Wishing you all an inspiring year full of creative new visions!
Normally, bull elk are sniffing the other end of cows to determine if they're receptive to mating. But this bull decided the direct frontal approach might work.
Photographed during the rut in Rocky Mountain National Park, September, 2019.
Someone appears receptive to the sweet nothings being whispered in their ear. The stables at Birds Hill Park, Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Last in my guys and gals series and first in my new series of "reflections".
Prior to mating, the American Avocet female assumes a receptive position as this image depicts. Prior to mounting her, the male preens while circling her. Sometimes the male's preening lasts too long and the female raises her head and walks away. That's what happened in this case.
Male and female American Avocets are nearly identical in appearance but the bill of the female is shorter and slightly more upturned than that of the male.
"Spring is the time of rebirth and renewal ! In the Spring fresh seeds can be planted in the rich earth, that has melted from its icy Winter hardness into a receptive and fertile field. In the Spring we feel the surge of new life , the urge perhaps to begin new projects and relationships , or to see the old ones under a new light. After the long, dark, cold Winter, we feel the hope and promise of warmer days, as the earth readies itself for the celebration of Summer, and the coming to fruition of all that has been lovingly and carefully sown.
***An Angelic Reflection: In the ground of my life I plant seeds of Love, Light, and Hope!! “
*** Our garden has started its own rebirth process : The Hamamelis are in bloom, and the first lovely Crocuses have started blooming.. Almost all the bulbous plants let their lovely “noses” appear on the early Springtime earth…The sunshine helps the lovely Crocus blooms to unveil their purple Beauty and those adorable, curly, golden stamens, so much loved by the bees!!

To Call Up The Shades
One candle is enough. Its gentle light
will be more suitable, will be more gracious
when the Shades come, the Shades of Love.
One candle is enough. Tonight the room
should not have too much light. In deep reverie,
all receptiveness, and with the gentle light-
in this deep reverie I'll form visions
to call up the Shades, the Shades of Love.

A couple of North American Elk (Cervus canadensis) bull battle for the right to mate with receptive females during the annual reproductive cycle in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.
The reproductive cycle for the species is generally in the same time period each year in the area.

I shot this using Sony's Clear Image Zoom - a digital zoom (up to 2X) that is processed in camera to maintain the pixel dimensions. It seems to do a pretty good job, especially when these Mergansers tend to stay on the opposite side of the pond! A clear downside for me is that you must shoot in jpg. I'm not sure if this result is better than up-sizing the cropped image in post using Topaz Gigapixel. I'll have to do a few tests. At least I could still shoot in RAW, since I think the jpg is not very receptive to subsequent post processing.
It seems a bit early at the end of April for Meadow Sage. But here it is though still a rather diminutive plant huddled close to the ground. I've posted photos of Meadow Sage before, but I thought this one to be interesting, too.
What I mean comes to light in Olymp's inset of the Flower's style. You can see the style itself - a kind of sheath that protects the delicate stigma's tube into the Flower's gynoecium that contains the ovules receptive of the pollen's power in order to bear seed. The golden pollen will land on the top of the stigma tube - see that dark 'protrusion' in the inset - and deliver its goods downward.

Nature does it again. Man couldn't come up with a better color scheme of complementary colors. I see this over and over again as I work with warblers. To me it points to a magnificent and artistic Creator God. Yes I was a biology major, and I took a course in evolution which I aced. That's why my professor for that course was receptive to me giving him a book on the science of creation. Evolution occurs of course, it's just where it started that folks differ on.
5/11/2018. My good friend David Cree and I had a stand-out day on 5/11/2018. It would be hard to imagine a better day with warblers than we had that day.
The morning sunrise catches St. Henry's Catholic Church located in the Rocky Mountain foothills near Waterton Lakes National Park, about a half hour from Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada. This small building has serviced the Dry Wood community in southern Alberta for more than a century. Although religious ceremonies are no longer held on a routine basis under its roof, the cemetery is used regularly. Generations of families are interned inside the cemetery which is maintained by volunteers and is a well visited site. This strategic location, elevated and fully exposed, may have had spiritual significance to First Nations since it is on high ground and stands out in the region. Also, it is a very popular location for birders to view Rosy Finches (see e-Bird), Sandhill cranes, and is popular for photographers and those who enjoy its ambiance. A resident caretaker is very hospitable and receptive to visitors.
