On the Island Pool at Dunham Park, a proud Mum with 5 out of 7 of her brood. Amazing how quickly they find their independence but always under her watchful eye.
Blue Hour at Il Duomo, on a cloudy evening. No filters, just the contrast from the spotlights on the building and the dark and cloudy skies above.
This will be the last brood of Northern Cardinals for the year. The male is showing signs of wear but is diligent in feeding his offspring
I am still waiting for my telephoto lens back from being repaired, but luckily this young family is getting used to me being around,
Thank you everyone for your kind comments on my recent images it is very much appreciated.
This is the spectacular view over Þingvellir national park in southern Iceland. This expansive landscape stretches as far as the eye can see with Þingvellir’s little white church ‘Thingvellier’ sitting in the middle. This image was captured as the sun began to set behind thick, brooding clouds on a bitterly cold mid November afternoon.
As always thanks for your comments and Faves.
This is my happy place.
Back from another holiday in Luskentyre. Never tire of this place, as this is the view from the cottage garden.

This variety of Cicada (Magicicada) has a 17-year life cycle and is part of brood IV, or the Kansan Brood. The last time they emerged in Nebraska was 1998. They started to emerge from the ground about a week ago as they were delayed by the rainy weather. So happy that we were able to find them in Weeping Water, Nebraska yesterday afternoon.
People call these cicadas “locusts” but they are not true locusts — real locusts look like grasshoppers. The phrase “17 year cicada” indicates that they arrive every 17 years. The name “periodical cicadas” indicates that they arrive periodically and not each and every year. The scientific name for the Genus of these cicadas is Magicicada, and there are 3 types of 17 year Magicicadas: Magicicada septendecim, Magicicada cassini and Magicicada septendecula. This is a true locust:
There are literally billions of 17- year cicadas. Why? One theory suggests that the large number of cicadas overwhelms predators, so predators are never able to eat them all and many always survive to mate. This is a survival strategy called “predator satiation”.

A couple weekends ago, I was going out for my morning hike and heard an unfamiliar voice in our parking lot. This parasite brood was asking for food from its adoptive junco parent who obliged! Raising a child double your body weight is not easy!
I counted 12 goslets in this brood. Mama stayed between me and the chicks. I enjoy watching them bob and splash in the water.
Nice in Large.

I revisited the Red-billed Blue Magpie (Urocissa erythroryncha) nest after one week. The chicks grew quickly and they already have feathers. One of the chicks looks different from the others, and it is an Asian Koel (Eudynamys scolopaceus)! Can you identify it? Asian Koel is a brood parasite that lays its eggs in the nests other birds, who raise its young. The Red-billed Blue Magpie parents do not know that.
While moving into our new home, I came across a Sparrow's second brood of the season.
