Colorful algae thrive in a man made geyser in northern Nevada. Climate change is also threatening this natural wonder. Then this landscape photography will no longer be a celebration of natural beauty but part of a documentary of destruction.

seen on a wander on this day last year. The blackberry bushes always thrive no matter what the weather.

Happy Caturday!!!
Lions are commonly seen in most parts of Botswana. Even though lions don't like water sightings of lions in the northern Okavango Delta are spectacular. The lions have learnt to thrive there - mainly due to the large buffalo population.
The Lions of Botswana have torn up the rule book as we know it. Lions don't like water, lions seldom, if ever, hunt elephants, hippos and lions need water to survive - these are some of the ideas that we have learnt over the years. In Botswana lions take to the water regularly, lions do hunt elephant and hippo and in some areas of the country lions can go for months without drinking water.
Prides in the Central Kalahari will generally be smaller than the prides in the Okavango and other northern wilderness areas. This is because of the availability of food is less in the drier areas. The larger prides in these arid areas will often split into smaller sub-prides during the dry season.
Home ranges of the lions vary in size for the same reasons - availability of food. In the arid areas the home ranges will be much larger and a great deal of overlapping with neighboring prides occurs.
Lions in the Okavango Delta are adept at negotiating the channels and floodplains to hunt. Prey moves between the islands and lions have to cross the water to follow. – Wikipedia
Ezekiel 17:9 “Say, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: “Will it thrive? Will he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, so that it withers—so that all its sprouting shoots wither? And neither by great strength nor by many people can it be raised from its roots again.”’”
So often I've found good conditions forecast, only to make the wrong choice on where to go. I thought the promised hoar frost was going to elude me as there wasn’t much evidence (Other than fog) on the journey. Fear not though... turned out to be spot on when I arrived at my chosen location. A quick minimal bit of refinement on this one. More to come...
I took an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine yesterday, and I walked past this beautiful pink rose which is thriving on neglect in the original garden of a stylish 1930s Art Deco clinker brick villa. Bathed in spring light the pink blooms were too beautiful not to photograph.
Spring has finally come to Melbourne, and everywhere, gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours after a wetter than usual winter.
A week on now and this young one (of three - all doing well) is thriving and showing the first signs of that unique mask.
Judging from how many successful fishing episodes this one-eyed eagle had, it’s likely she was feeding young. An eagle blind in her right eye, presumably this one, has been reported for a number of years at Conowingo Dam. I’m guessing she is a year-round resident with a nest nearby.
In the Intro to this cave mini-series, "dusk bat hunters" were mentioned [see "Deer Cave Entry ~ Kick-off Cave Series, Sarawak, Borneo"]
As such, on fine-weather dusks, some 2M+ bats fly out of Deer Cave, searching for insects to eat. The free-tailed bats are hard to see while inside the caves, as they mostly hang from the cave ceilings, sleeping, and are quite small.
The Left Hand Picture in the collage above shows a large stream of bats exiting at late dusk when ii is almost dark, at the end of our first day at the caves. Thus the photo is dark.
The Right Hand Picture shows the exit route for the main bat stream, as taken during the day: i.e. Deer Cave's Main Chamber ceiling hole, with the chamber 122m or 400 feet high from the cave floor. The hole, in also letting in a shaft of light, allows the rich green vegetation to thrive, and is thus referred to as the 'Garden of Eden' by the cave operators.
Other bats exit via a few other smaller ceiling holes depending on where they sleep.
From the only viewing platform outside, which is on flat ground, we saw the main bat stream featured above. Further away, other bat streams flew out of other openings not visible, with the bats very hard to see as they flew out and away.
The picture featured was then the best achievable one given the hilly and dense jungle terrain surrounding the caves.
The scene was amazing to see, and everyone at the viewing platform was excited and loved this unusual nature adventure :-)
This concludes the Cave Series, Hope you enjoyed it. :-)

The Black Darter is Britain’s smallest resident dragonfly and one of the few that thrives in acidic bogs and heathlands. Males are mostly black with striking yellow side markings, while females are yellowish-brown with dark patterns. They are often seen basking on heather or rushes and fly late in the season, mainly from July to October.
Even in the cold December, these daises seem to bloom even more!
Thoughts and prayers to all the wild fire victims in Southern California and all the firefighters and their families!
Happy Tuesday, Everyone!

Gunner, the colt who was orphaned at nine days old is thriving. The surrogate mother they brought in for him, refused him, so he's been hand fed formula, until recently.
Once a thriving area filled with sidewalk stalls and fruit and vegetable stores, Kensington Market now has only a single fruit and vegetable establishment remaining.

This is what happens to chives (Allium schoenoprasum) if you let them do their thing. How nice that there is a common garden plant you can either sew and pick early for food, or instead let grow and then admire its beauty.

Score! A Common Tern hits the water and comes up with a small fish. The fishing was good at this location, so I had lots of chances - also a good thing, because I missed most of them. Fast? These birds are fast! But they were tolerant, too, of a discreet human presence (sitting, or lying back against some comfy rocks for extended periods). A great day for the terns and for me.
When I was a kid, in my early and mid-teens just before I was old enough to drive, I would ride my bike alone along trails through the woods near my home in Quebec. In my twenties, in BC, I discovered wilderness backpacking, and often hiked alone into remote places. It isn't that I reject human company; far from it. But I appreciate solitude, especially in wild places, and that is what makes Saskatchewan so perfect for me at this late stage in my life: there are few remaining places where one can be alone.
I don't have to worry about whether this person will allow his dog to run the wildlife, or that family will leave a bunch of litter in their wake, or this bozo will decide it's a good idea to skip rocks across the water directly in front of me while I'm trying to photograph water birds. Fewer people means fewer conflicts and/or less necessity to try to educate people about behaviour in natural areas. For example, no bear jams. Admittedly, no bears. But twenty years ago when I started hanging out in prairie places, I was astounded to discover how much wildlife thrives here. It's Canada's best kept secret. Sshhh!
