The last Arctic trip was probably the best in terms of consistent evenings filled with aurora and clear skies I have had in many trips over the last few years. This solar storm was the result of a large solar flare on the sun, a flare that actually exploded as we made our way to the airport in the early hours of the morning on the 23rd January.
I was immediately getting excited and planning a location to ensure we got to clear skies to witness this event. We headed straight for the Lofoten Islands only to find the weather was looking too unpredictable so grabbed a few hours sleep before heading straight into Sweden to an incredible frozen forest. Some of the auroral formations and patterns were fantastic here, I spent ages trying to find relationships between the needles and needle type tree tops but this was the best burst I saw all evening for shape and structure.
It was stupendously cold here, the temperature hit -35C but it was worth it for the incredible display, crystal clear skies and the images we managed during the few daylight hours the next day.
Cant wait to do this all again in just two weeks time!

This scupture (and the one below) are made from used wood which qualifies them as Trash Art. I purchased these two at a silent auction at the Swedish Club in Seattle many years ago.
The artist's name is Miller and that's all i know.

A really exciting experience during visiting Kew Gardens this year was the new Treetop Walkway. We had a fantastic view over a big part of the garden and to the beautiful antique greenhouses. If you visit London try to walk through the treetops too!
Another walk in Elvaston Country Park and, this time, the herons were perched up high in the trees above the waterside.
Took this shot while perched 40ft in a tree conducting a skywatch behind my house. This friendly Scarlet Tanager was curious enough to provide a decent shot opportunity.

Sometimes it is worthwhile to raise your head and look at the trees, they are so beautiful and tall

Иногда стоит поднимать голову и поглядеть на деревья, они такие красивые и высокие

Day 174/365
I missed the shot of the juvenile great blue heron flying back to its nest when lunch arrived. :-( But I got it exercising a few feet out of the nest. Wednesday I saw the nests but no activity at all--it was humid and windy. So I went back Friday when it didn't look like a good insect day (my original plan was an insect walk), and they were nicely active.
Two other juveniles are still within the nest; one can be seen at lower right. Soon a parent flew in, and this chick flew the short distance back to the nest, but I was putting my other camera back in its bag and missed the important action--though this might have been the better shot anyway.
Ain’t no party like a treetop Ibis party… 🌲
📷: A group of American White Ibis birds gather together for an early morning round of musical branches atop a Norfolk Pine tree. I frequently see these birds up in this tree across the street from my house, and they were extra spunky this particular morning, so I was glad I had brought my camera out for some snaps.

Was in Berlin die Reichstagskuppel ist, ist im Bayerischen Wald das Baum-Ei am Ende des Baumwipfelpfads. Spiralförmig geht es nach oben zu einer Aussichtsplattform über den Baumwipfeln.
What is the Reichstag dome in Berlin is the tree-egg at the end of the treetop path in the Bavarian Forest. It spirals upwards to a viewing platform above the treetops.
