Risky Behaviour · Party Dozen

The Real Work

[strange direction of Hyacinth flower]

If you ever get close to a human

And human behaviour

Be ready, be ready to get confused

And me and my hereafter

There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic

To human behaviour

But yet so, yet so irresistible

And me and my fear cannot

And there is no map uncertain

They're terribly, terribly, terribly moody

Of human behaviour

Then all of a sudden turn happy

And they and my here after

But, oh, to get involved in the exchange

Of human emotions

Is ever so, ever so satisfying

And they and my hero

And there is no map uncertain

Human behaviour, human behaviour

This behaviour caught my attention today, not sure what it is about. My best guess is that 2 females are trying to attract their partners but it does attract 2 more males to fly in & be seen off

Day 36

St Aidan's Nature Park

A chase ensued after this Black Headed Gull plucked a leaf from the waters surface.

St Ives Estate, Bingley

Noticed this place on our drive up to Hardangervidda for going for walk on Wednesday. On our way back, we stopped and I managed to get some shots of this strange phenomenon.

This is a resting area at the road crossing the Hardangervidda, just on the edge of a water called Ørteren. Apparently numerous people who stopped here, have placed rocks on top of each other. (I think I remember this from other countries as well).

The result is that you can hardly walk between these rock "monuments" without touching them. This image only shows 1/4 of this area.

To me that's strange; I'm a strong believer in leaving nature as you found it.

There have been some post processing. In addition to the usual tweeks, I have used some LR4 filter to remove most of the colours leaving only a hint of blue sky, (I wanted a monochrome look but found that I still needed some colours).

Thanks for visiting.

All comments are appreciated.

Gordon (my hubby) purchased a new lens last week (Sigma 135-400mm f4.5-5.6) so I thought I would sneak out while he was at work and take it out for a spin ...;)

I would have liked more light, but as I was just trying it out, I'm not too displeased with this result. (This is a juvenile Blue-faced Honeyeater)

It has been Explored! [Highest Position: 376 on Thursday 25 October] Thanks everyone!

This is a typical submissive behaviour Kiros is showing here.

Milo approached him and to show respect Kiros lowers his head and makes a soft woh noise to show Milo he isn't going to challenge him.

This was the day the girls got their contraceptive implant and Milo was fussing because he knew something was going on.

Kiros was let out of the den and Milo approached him not with any intention of harm but to make sure he was ok but Kiros's instinct was to be submissive.

After this, they both rubbed heads and walked side by side to where they would rest.

I saw this fantastic model of the Supermarine Spitfire, one of the most beautiful aeroplanes ever to grace the skies, at this year's Rye Dog and Horse Show!!!

Just to prove some naughty behaviour from our old friend Mr T this was Thursday night and X502BFJ is a failed 86 working, the service van parked behind was in attendance to assist. Luckily T808LLC was behaving and can be seen behind having collected the stranded passengers.

This has also been my first week shooting with the Fuji X-A1 compact system camera and man is it impressive, this was taken at 6400 iso handheld - it beats my Nikon D7000 at the same sensitivity! Defo no need for a tripod anymore...

THis fella flew back with bug and seemed to be using the hole in top of snag branch as a mortar (as in mortar & pestle) to arrange & pound away at to make ready to consume.

*****

We in Greater Victoria had a nice "spell" of Lewis's with 2 individuals being observed ...and at least one present at location from Sept 20th thru Oct 4th 2019

This nice prolonged stay over is not at all typical for Greater Victoria in my experience
