The is a blacksmith's dog at El Rancho de las Golondrinas in New Mexico. Despite the blazing hot fire and the constant hammering of metal on metal one the anvil right above him, the little fellow seems kind of bored. You can see the blacksmith hammering away right above him...but he seemed more interested in me and my tripod.
Just trying an experiment - wondered if the 'live' setting on my phone, which I accidentally have on when I take a photo sometimes, would work on Flickr. Seems it does!
This is one of Lina's favourite toys, and we often play with it in our hall! It's fun because she doesn't know which way it's going to bounce! I think by this stage, Lina was a bit bored!
A funny thing happened yesterday when we were walking Lina. Tim and I overtook a couple with two young children who were walking a chocolate Labrador. As we were walking faster, they moved out the way to let us pass. The man said "that's Lina?" I said yes, assuming he'd heard Tim saying, "slow down, Lina". I just made a comment that she's a bit nervy, as we were being dragged along the pavement - she can be quite strong, even when Tim is walking her! When I mentioned it to Tim later, he said he hadn't said her name! I wonder how he knew her! If I'd known Tim hadn't called Lina by her name, I would have asked the man, but I didn't find out till it was too late! If it was you, please let me know!! (I think it might be someone from Instagram)
My first look at one of these and it was quite the sighting. This little guy let me walk right up to him and appear very curious of human! Best view in original size.
The mouth of the McGillvray River is a beautiful mix of different coloured grasses, shrubs and trees in the late fall.
When you are bored and still on a high from a good weekend and your feet are killing h you from too mu h dancing why not go and put a silly frock on and longe around the garden.
Canada's boreal forest comprises about one third of the circumpolar boreal forest that rings the northern hemisphere, mostly north of the 50th parallel.[1] Other countries with boreal forest, also called taiga, include Russia, which contains the majority, and the Scandinavian and Nordic countries (e.g. Sweden, Finland, and Norway). The boreal region in Canada covers almost 60% of the country’s land area.[2] The Canadian boreal region spans the landscape from the most easterly part of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador to the border between the far northern Yukon and Alaska. The area is dominated by coniferous forests, particularly spruce, interspersed with vast wetlands, mostly bogs and fens. The boreal region of Canada includes eight Eco-zones. While the biodiversity of regions varies, each Eco-zone has a characteristic native flora and fauna.[3]
The Canadian boreal region represents a tract of land over 1,000 kilometers wide separating the tundra in the north and temperate rain forest and deciduous woodlands that predominate in the most southerly and westerly parts of Canada. Canada's boreal forest is also considered to be the largest intact forest on earth, with around 3 million square kilometers still undisturbed by roads, cities and industrial development.[4] Its high level of intactness has made the forest a particular focus of environmentalists and conservation scientists who view the untouched regions of the forest as an opportunity for large-scale conservation that would otherwise be impractical in other parts of the world.
The boreal region contains about 14% of Canada’s population. With its sheer vastness and forest cover, the boreal makes an important contribution to the rural and aboriginal economies of Canada, primarily through resource industries, recreation, hunting, fishing and eco-tourism. Hundreds of cities and towns within its territory derive at least 20% of their economic activity from the forest, mainly from industries like forest products, mining, oil and gas and tourism.[5] The boreal forest also plays an iconic role in Canada’s history, economic and social development and the arts
This photo gets me in the mood for Halloween. What a nice treat to find this elusive, Boreal Owl juvenile. I was pleased with this fun encounter of this inquisitive owlet and used no flash or tripod. It turned out okay as a documentation photo. I was thrilled to SEE it ,as it was the last remaining of the 15 species of owls that I could possibly see in WA. A very productive and successful 2016 owl year for me. I worked hard but karma usually rewarded me.

Problem, Sherlock?
"Yes, I'm BORED. I need a case!"
"We've just gotten here and you're already being rude, Sherlock."
"Was I? It's because I'm BORED!"
Shall I hide some toy's leg for you to find, Sherlock?
"Yes, quickly."

Boreal Chickadee (Poecile hudsonicus) - Sober Island, Nova Scotia, Canada
Today I visited a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia. About 1.5 hours from where I live in search of something 'new' in winter. I was not disappointed, as I was able to see Harlequin Ducks (far off shore) and this lovely little boreal chickadee. Less seen then their black-capped cousins, it was fun to see this one emerge from the growth.
Thanks for visiting!
Another bath tub bird set - six photos. I got two new yard bird captures this week while shooting through an open window in my bathroom that overlooks the deck. Boreal Chickadees have making regular appearances in my yard for the first time, and I caught a Northern Flicker as well. These aren't lifer birds, but first captures in my yard.
Also included are shots of a Junco, Black-capped Chickadee, and Red-breasted Nuthatch.
It was the first time I have ever been close enough to a Flicker for a portrait shot. I was too close to get the whole bird.

I visited the Weaselhead Park in hopes of finding at least one of two special owls that had been reported in the park. Lots of walking on icy paths. I was thrilled to see this Boreal Owl as I was on my way back to the parking lot! I was never close to it and left after I got my photos.
Thanks for your visits and comments. They are all greatly appreciated!

Sometimes I just get bored of Flickr...
Not bored of photos, not bored of all the friends I've made here!, just bored of Flickr. And I know myself quite well. I'm not the kind of unstable person in what concerns passions, quite the opposite. But this photo/poem stuff (I'm not bored of poetry, no way, that's one of my oldest passions!) is a project that I'm also developing elsewhere now. So, it's time to refresh things around here. I don't like to do the same for a very long time, that's what bores me to death.
This is what happens when "lock down" begins to get to you!! You walk around your home and take a photo of anything!!

I have noticed a significant decline in the local mosquito population over the last two days. This is a great sign! It's also a sign that our two week long season known as autumn will be here soon followed quickly by . . . nevermind. The sandhill cranes are filling the sky, the night is darkening, and morning air is crisp. After a very wet, humid, bug-filled summer our daily walks are becoming very pleasant again.
