Last night’s clouds as the sun was leaving. It’s as if the treetops were people watching the sky. I edited the photo in Adobe Raw for some effect.
From a short walk on a dull/grey day in Vestre Plantage near Holstebro, Denmark - February 21, 2020.
There is something refreshing being able to walk at the level of the tree tops and this walk fulfills that with some glorious views of both the bush and of the Swan River, Perth City and West Perth. Happy Fence Friday. The day which had been cloudy had some sunny spots and then moved further into clouds with occasional spots of rain. The Walkway is visible from the regular Ferries moving up the Swan River to and from Fremantle.

Roseate Spoonbill - In the Wild - Saint Augustine, Florida U.S.A.
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - adult spoonbill - Snag It!]
The Roseate Spoonbill is a wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family. This species feeds in shallow fresh or coastal waters by swinging its bill from side to side as it steadily walks through the water, often in groups. The spoon-shaped bill allows it to sift easily through mud. It feeds on crustaceans, aquatic insects, frogs, newts and very small fish ignored by larger waders. The Roseate Spoonbill nests in shrubs or trees, often mangroves, laying 2 to 5 eggs, which are whitish with brown markings. Immature birds have white, feathered heads, and the pink of the plumage is paler.

We were fortunate to be able to travel once more, and this was a huge bucket list trip--- Peru and Ecuador, with highlights of visits to the rainforest, Machu Picchu, and the Galapagos Islands. Lots more photos to come in the upcoming weeks.....

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.
Photo taken for the We're Here group's visit to the Trash Art group.
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

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.
