With permission from the N.C. Museum of Art Parks & Planning group, a few local light painters spent an evening creating light art performance photography magic around the Museum Park sculptures and lake. This is Johnny Dickerson (jediimind) sharing his fantastic LAPP skills.
A big 'Thanks' to the NCMA Parks & Planning group for permission to achieve this long-time dream of photographing the rings at night.
Last Thursday afternoon was another good day to get out. I was going for a walk but first I had to check out the Burnsmead to Bankside road. I was not disappointed to find this beautiful male Ring-necked Pheasant. He was enjoying the sun and even gave himself a dust bath.
Thanks for your visits and comments. They are all greatly appreciated!
The Ring-necked Pheasant is not the smartest bird in the wild, it is amazing that they have not all been killed off by traffic. I had to stop twice to let this bird run back and forth on the road. Any normal vehicle would have run it down. Fortunately I managed to herd it across the road into a blueberry field.

For me, Ring-necked Pheasants haven't been hard to find, but they sure have been hard to photograph. They're usually very skittish and quickly disappear before I can even raise the camera to my eye.
So this one was quite a surprise...in two ways. First, it wasn't skittish at all and second, it was foraging along the edge of a large pool in Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. Before this, I'd only seen them in open grassy or agricultural fields.
Saw these beauties while waiting for the vulture. Only classing this as a record shot.

Three Ringed Plovers flew down onto the mud beside the river Yar when I was standing on the swing bridge. Trying to get a shake free picture with traffic zooming past me was a challenge.

Good morning everyone!
Here is a ring-tailed lemur that I was able to photograph on my recent trip to Madagascar, the only country in the world where one can see lemurs in the wild.
This species is classified as endangered mainly due to habitat loss and can only be found in the southern regions of the country. These precious animals are essentially living in islands on an island with nowhere else to go. As such, their future depends on both habitat preservation and proper economic development. Ecotourism can definitely help play a role in achieving both needs.

Ring-necked Pheasants stride across open fields and weedy roadsides in the U.S. and southern Canada. Males sport iridescent copper-and-gold plumage, a red face, and a crisp white collar; their rooster-like crowing can be heard from up to a mile away.

It was a noteworthy bird as it had a tinge of rose colour in the white feathers which is not normal for the species although it is the breeding season.

The male Ring-necked Duck is a sharply marked bird of gleaming black, gray, and white. Females are rich brown with a delicate face pattern. At distance, look for this species’ distinctive, peaked head to help you identify it. Even though this species dives for its food, you can find it in shallow wetlands such as beaver swamps, ponds, and bays. Of all the diving duck species, the Ring-necked Duck is most likely to drop into small ponds during migration.
The Ring of Brodgar is a Neolithic henge and stone circle in Mainland, Orkney, Scotland. It is the only major henge and stone circle in Britain which is an almost perfect circle. Most henges do not contain stone circles; Brodgar is a striking exception, ranking with Avebury and Stonehenge among the greatest of such sites.
This tiny ring barely fits on my little finger. It once belonged to my great great grand mother, Elizabeth Phillips Caples. Her daughter Emma Caples Moree gave it to my mother, who kept it a tiny ring box no more than an inch high. On a small piece of folded paper in the trunk’s lid, Emma had written a note: “for Anna Elisabeth Sherwood the ring worn by her great grandmother Caples.” When I examined my photograph of the ring, I saw an inscription I hadn’t noticed before. It seemed the ring must have belonged to Emma’s aunt Amanda, not her mother, for the name inscribed was not Elizabeth but Amanda. Another of life’s unsolvable mysteries.
