My latest ANIMAL VIDEO (warning, it's a bit shocking): www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T2-Xszz7FI
You find a selection of my 80 BEST PHOTOS (mostly not yet on Flickr) here: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/western-green-lizard-lacerta-bi... (the website exists in ESPAÑOL, FRANÇAIS, ITALIANO, ENGLISH, DEUTSCH)
ABOUT THE PHOTO:
So this photo is a bit of a novelty for me - at least here on Flickr, but it's also a journey back in time in a sense. I've always loved b/w and sepia photography; already as a very young teenager I would go out into the woods with an old Pentax Spotmatic (which I had nicked from my father) whenever it was a foggy day to shoot b/w compositions of sunbeams cutting through the ghostlike trees.
I used films with a sensitivity of at least 1600 (for those of you who remember what that means 😉 ), and the resulting photos had an incredibly fine grain which I loved; I blew them up to the size of posters and hung them on the walls of my teenage man-cave next to Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Slash.
But then I abandoned photography altogether for 20 years, and when I finally picked up a camera again, it was one of the digital kind. Now neither film nor grain played any role in my photographic endeavours - let alone b/w compositions: because the reason I fell in love with shooting pictures once more was the rare and incredibly colorful lizard species that had chosen my garden as its habitat.
It's this species - the Lacerta bilineata aka the western green lizard - that my photo website www.lacerta-bilineata.com/ and also my Flickr gallery are dedicated to, but I've since expanded that theme a bit so that it now comprises the whole Lacerta bilineata habitat, which is to say my garden and its immediate surroundings and all the flora and fauna I find in it.
I like that my gallery and the website have this clear theme, because in order to rise to the challenge of portraying all aspects of a very specific little eco system (which also happens to be my home of sorts), it forces me to constantly explore it from fresh angles, and I keep discovering fascinating new motives as my photographic journey continues.
Which brings me to the horse pasture you see in this photo. This playground for happy horsies lies just outside my garden, and it normally only interests me insofar as my green reptile friends claim parts of it as their territory, and I very much prefer it to be horseless (which it thankfully often is).
Not that the horses bother the reptiles - the lizards don't mind them one bit, and I've even seen them jump from the safety of the fly honeysuckle shrub which the pasture borders on right between the deadly looking hooves of the horses to forage for snails, without any sign of fear or even respect.
No, the reason I have a very conflicted relationship with those horses is that they are mighty cute and that there's usually also foals. The sight of those beautiful, happy animals jumping around and frolicking (it's a huge pasture and you can tell the horses really love it) is irresistible: and that inevitably attracts what in the entire universe is known as the most destructive anti-matter and ultimate undoing of any nature photographer: other humans.
Unlike with the horses, the lizards ARE indeed very much bothered by specimens of loud, unpredictable Homo sapiens sapiens - which makes those (and by extension also the horses) the cryptonite of this here reptile photographer. It's not the horses' fault, I know that, but that doesn't change a thing. I'm just telling you how it is (and some of you might have read about the traumatic events I had to endure to get a particular photo - if not, read at your own risk here: www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/51405389883/in/datepo... - which clearly demonstrated that even when it's entirely horseless, that pasture is still a threat for artistic endeavours).
But back to the photo. So one morning during my vacation back in May I got up quite early. It had rained all night, and now the fog was creeping up from the valley below to our village just as the sky cleared up and the morning sun started to shine through the trees.
And just as I did when I was a teenager I grabbed my camera and ran out to photograph this beautiful mood of ghostlike trees and sunbeams cutting through the mist. There had already been such a day a week earlier (which is when I took this photo: www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/51543603732/in/datepo... ), but this time, the horses were also there.
Because of our slightly strained relationship I only took this one photo of them (I now wish I had taken more: talk about missed opportunities), and otherwise concentrated on the landscape. It was only later when I went through all the photos on my computer that I realized that I actually really liked those horses, even despite the whole composition being such a cliché. And I realized another thing: when I drained the photo of all the color, I liked it even better - because there was almost a bit of grain in it, like in the photos from my youth.
Since then I have experimented quite a bit with b/w and sepia compositions (some of which I will upload here eventually I guess), but this photo here is the first one that helped me rediscover my old passion. I hope you like it even though it builds quite a stark contrast with the rest of my tiny - and very colorful - gallery. But in the spirit of showing you the whole Lacerta bilineata habitat (and also in the spirit of expanding my gallery a bit beyond lizards and insects), I think it's not such a bad fit.
As always, many greetings to all of you, have a wonderful day and don't hesitate to let me know what you think 😊

Caligo es un género de lepidópteros ditrisios de la familia Nymphalidae conocidos vulgarmente como mariposas búho. Incluye 20 especies propias de las selvas de Centro y Sudamérica hasta los 1800 m s. n. m., desde el sur de México hasta el sur de Brasil, y en Trinidad y Tobago.
Destacan por su tamaño. Las larvas llegan a medir hasta 15 cm de largo y los adultos pueden superar 20 cm de envergadura
Su nombre común proviene de los grandes ocelos en la parte posterior de las alas, que parecen ojos grandes.
Aunque actualmente no se sabe a ciencia cierta la significación de estos ocelos, sí se conoce que en otras mariposas, particularmente en el caso de Satyrinae, cumplen la función de desviar el ataque de los pájaros hacia partes menos vulnerables del cuerpo, mientras se protege el abdomen y la cabeza de la mariposa. Se requiere sin embargo mucha más investigación para descifrar cómo aprecian los depredadores a estas mariposas, ya que una cosa es el camuflaje frente al observador humano y otra con respecto a aves que pueden apreciar los rayos ultravioleta.
En cualquier caso se considera que los ocelos forman parte de una estrategia de cripsis que protege a las mariposas. Algunas especies vuelan solamente unos pocos metros para evitar exponerse a los pájaros. Las mariposas búho tienen hábitos crepusculares y son pocos los pájaros activos a las mismas horas que ellas, por lo cual sus principales depredadores son aparentemente lagartijas tales como las del género Anolis. Se ha sugerido que los ocelos de las mariposas búho tratan de semejar la cabeza de las ranas Hyla a las que temen los Anolis. Esta hipótesis tampoco ha sido probada, pero es cierto que los ocelos sirven a varias especies para protegerse de los depredadores
Muchas gracias a tod@s por vuestros comentarios y favoritos. Un saludo.
*Süntelbuche im Herbst*
Last Wednesday I drove to the northern Eifel to catch a few autumn moods. Fortunately, the over 200 year old dwarf beech tree on a Celtic burial mound near Blankenheim still had a few autumn-colored leaves ... and occasionally the sun came out.
Letzte Mittwoch fuhr ich in die Nordeifel, um ein paar herbstliche Stimmungen einzufangen. Die über 200 Jahre alte Süntelbuche auf einem keltischen Grabhügel bei Blankenheim hatte zum Glück noch ein paar herbstlich gefärbte Blätter...und gelegentlich zeigte sich auch die Sonne.

En ces temps où le monde change sans cesse, où les restrictions de toutes natures nous assaillent, la nature partage ses beautés cachées.
Cette fleur de cactus ne fleurit qu'une seule petite journée.
Elle s'ouvre discrètement tôt le matin et se ferme délicatement avec la chute du jour.
Il faut juste être là au bon moment et savoir jouer avec sa beauté.
Je ne connais pas la variété.
Je sais juste, que ce cactus pousse dans un pot solitaire à deux pas de ma porte et l'avoir "loupé" durant 2 ans, avant de le mettre en photos.

When I took this picture, the owner told me to keep my fingers away from the beak. They have very powerful beaks that can generate a pressure of 500 up to 2,000+ psi (pounds per square inch). Humans, for example, average a bite force of around 150 psi.
This image was captured at Parrot In Paradise, a parrot rescue, rehabilitation, education and adoption center. We were fortunate enough to stay on the property during our travels on the Big Island of Hawaii. . Being invited into the aviaries with these gorgeous birds was exciting. I was new to using a macro lens and found myself moving closer and closer to the birds. Before leaving I offered many of my photographs to the owners and throughout the years, those images have been used on their website. What golden memories!

I don't know many birds that are more expressive than the Northern Gannets. I could watch them for days and never become bored.

Thank you for your favorites and comments! It's very important to me.
I guess that is what I like about the sea
It reminds me of feelings
Roaring like this
The noise can be incredible
Crashing waves
This time there was no wind
Just the underlying rest of the storm
Still in the sea
That is us, isn't it
We keep stuff inside
Stuff that needed to be said out loud
Injustice
Being treated with no respect
Mean words from others
Even mean actions from others
All the scars we get
Maybe we act mean towards others because we don't deal with the people that actually was mean to us in the first place
All what we endure
And we just keep them inside us
Doesn't do us any good at all
So important to react
Out of respect for yourself
You grow you know, when you are standing up for yourself
Because that is your job
Luckily there is calm sea too
We all love the reflections and serenity that goes with the calmness
I guess that is what most of us want for ourselves too
Maybe that's why we love water
Water feeds us, nourish us
We can see all sides of our personality in the water and we respect that
We actually love it
Just as we should love ourselves
Just as we should do the honor of respecting ourselves
That's my recipe for nourishing myself
Maybe it will be the recipe for others too
When we do love and respect ourselves, then others will too
It all comes from you
What has happened to the art of respect? We are all human beings, made of flesh and blood, no-one is superior to anyone else. It is time to change the political rhetoric which is supposed to guide us. The language used these days is not fit for our children's ears, it needs to be cleaned up so that we can teach our children about love and diversity, not hate and non acceptance! It is President Trumps duty to lead by example, through educated behavior which can also benefit his own son.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Bon week-end à vous.

After a few weeks during which we hardly left our house, we went for a drive and a walk - and a camera had to come too, of course. The tracks are probably left by would-be motorsports enthusiasts who, alas, have no respect for nature.

This wiry fence is doing its best to keep people from falling off the cliff overlooking a local waterfall. You can just make out the top of the falls in the background. However, the fence itself is not one I would trust to hold me if I lean on it. It is definitely up to people to respect the boundaries and take caution. We love all the snowshoeing we have been doing this month as we continue to get fresh snowfalls everyday. On this day, the snow was so wet, it was a challenge to keep our gear dry. Happy Fence Friday!
