Happy Window Wednesday
Things are as ever slowly changing..
My illness that is now being treated with double beta blockers is not yet responding well and some of my ordinary PVCs have changed to interpolated PVCs which can eventually lead to Cardiomyopathy with severe and chronic anxiety being the root cause.
I don’t have control over my anxiety and Flickr is just one thing I can leave off at least. I have had some lovely mails asking me to just take a break then come back and believe me they are so heartwarming and mean more than you will ever know.
The place I am at now is to still leave my account open as it is paid up until April 2024. Comments for new photos are turned off and shall remain off as I am too unwell to leave comments as they take me ages to formulate and I get so tired and stressed.
I intend flooding my Flickr account with photos from my two previous Flickr accounts as I get a better idea of whether I myself consider them worthy of uploading to my new online account with a couple of online accounts instead of mixed with thousands of other photos on my PC
www.redbubble.com/people/suelleanor/shop
I shall hopefully start to fave but not be commenting on photos on Flickr as I not well enough to at the moment but I haven’t given up on getting better although I am unsure how…
I wish everyone well and am still browsing all your wonderful inspirational photography !

Have been browsing through a few images from a trip to Far North Queensland a while ago. Funny how I invariably dismiss all my images on first viewing but given a little time manage to find a few I can live with :)
Thanks for viewing, favourites or comments.
So many times I see these small woodpeckers and I try to remember which is the Downy Woodpecker and which is the Hairy Woodpecker. They are so similar at first glance. So I bought a really good bird book to help me identify the birds that will be returning to our area soon. The book is beautiful to browse through and it has me excited for the new birding season. I found out that this guy is the Downy Woodpecker. I will concentrate on trying to spot the two main differences to tell them apart. This guy has a shorter beak than the Hairy. Plus, the Downy has these black spots on the white tail feathers which you can just tell on the one image.
This brings me to my next goal in photography. I just deleted about 500 images from my photo stream this week. I will get rid of more. My work has changed and it has even improved over the years I have been on Flickr so there are images I do not need to keep online anymore. There are many I can even improve with better editing techniques I have learned and then I can replace those old images with newly edited images. My bird album is one of the first albums I will reorganize, I do not want to just collect bird images. I want to try for better bird images. I admire all the wildlife photographers on Flickr. I am not as dedicated to capturing all the amazing images they take. This is a simple practice for me to get to know my camera better and to try to keep improving while learning more about the world around me. Happy Wing Wednesday!
ps. There was a branch right in front of the bird which gave it a faded patch on his body. My editing skills are not yet good enough to "fix that". lol
It's hard to believe that an animal as large as a moose survives on willows and birch shoots for food. In the spring of the year, they love to eat the tender new brances and small trees. They also love to feed on vegetation that grows on the bottom of ponds. I am not sure if the vegetaion is more tasty or if it is a way to eat without the constant biting of mosquitoes.
The moose do not have upper teeth in their mouth. They rely on molars, both upper and lower to chew their food.
This cow is enjoying her meal of fresh tender red shoots of a willow, It's almost easy to think she has a smile on her face.

This great gold digger wasp was commingling with the bees among the tiny blossoms near the waterfront. Taken with the Raynox on the 200-500 with 1.4 TC. Uncropped.
In forested areas of the bush you can see a perfect straight line that looks like a landscaper pruned the trees. It's the Kudu browse line. Amazing site. This female was demonstrating her technique!
Malus sylvestris, the European crab apple, also known as the European wild apple or simply the crab apple, is a species of the genus Malus, native to Europe and western Asia. Its scientific name means "forest apple"
The wild apple is a deciduous small to medium-sized tree, but can also grow into a multi-stemmed bush. It can live 80–100 years and grow up to 14 metres (46 feet) tall with trunk diameters of usually 23–45 centimetres (9–17+1⁄2 inches), although diameters exceeding 90 centimetres (35 in) have been recorded. The leaves are roundish-oval and sometimes hairy on the underside. The hermaphrodite flowers appear in May, slightly preceding hawthorn, have white or pinkish petals and are insect-pollinated. The small pome-fruits are around 3 centimetres (1.2 in) in diameter, ripen in autumn and fall to the ground. The bark is light brown and breaks up in flakes. The branches are thorny, especially in response to pruning or browsing.
In the past M. sylvestris was thought to be the most important ancestor of the cultivated apple (M. domestica), which has since been shown to have been primarily derived from the central Asian species M. sieversii. However, DNA analyses confirm that M. sylvestris has contributed significantly to the genome. They found that secondary introgression from other species of the genus Malus has greatly shaped the genome of M. domestica, with M. sylvestris being the largest secondary contributor. They also found that current populations of M. domestica are more closely related to M. sylvestris than to M. sieversii. However, in more pure strains of M. domestica, the M. sieversii ancestry still predominates.

Kruger National Park
Giraffes favor eating the leaves and twigs of Acacia trees. This tree is armed with big, white, sharp thorns to protect its juicy leaves from attackers. Giraffes, however, are not deterred by these thorns and they use their long maneuverable tongues and tough lips to get around them.

Browsing through my pictures I suddenly see this landscape, and think it could be a norwegian fjord, until I see the pines. No it is Canada, but you may call it a Norwegian bias!
From 11 june till the 25th of July 2015, I traveled in Canada. Starting in Brighton Ontario, where my sister lives at the border of an amazing part of lake Ontario, I flew to Vancouver, and Vancouver island where I took the boat at Port Hardy to take part 1 of the Inside passage, to Prince Rupert in BC. Two days later I took part 2 to Skagway in Alaska. When coming from Skagway Alaska, you can take the train to Carcross. it is a very scenic train ride that halts at Bennet lake.
And then to Whitehorse and further on by car to Kluane National park in the Yukon district. Whitehorse is situated at the border of the Yukon. Frow there I flew back to Vancouver, rented a car, and traveled three weeks in the BC- and Alberta Rockies, visiting the famous, and less famous Nature parks like Banff and Jasper. Last few days back to Brighton Ontario to enjoy lake Ontario once more, before going home. A picture of my itinerary can be found on Facebook (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152940536581759&set...).
4000 pictures later, it is quite a task to show the right stuff, although the stunning scenery guarantees at least a few great shots to share. Objective will be to make a book (for myself mainly), and that might take a while.
I hope you will enjoy the impression of my travel, one that equals earlier journeys to Alaska and south America, this journey was the first in the digital era, and equally intensive because of all the hiking activities every day on and on. I loved every minute of it.
Proximo a Puerto Varas se encuentra Llanquihue, un pequeño poblado en las riberas de Lago Llanquihue.
Recorrer algunos barrios del poblado permite encontrar bellas y antiguas casonas de gran significado patrimonial arquitectonico, construcciones tradicionales expresión del modo de de vida de los primeros habitantes de la zona. Esta infraestructura de tipo europeo, esta enraizada en aquellos estilos arquitectónicos vinculados al neo-románico, gótico, neoclásico y ecléctico, propios de la zona de origen de los inmigrantes alemanes.
La Casa Wellmann (Ex Gebauer) fue construida en 1920 por Teodoro Gebauer en la ribera norte del naciente Rio Maullin. Construida con maderas de la zona se caracteriza por su torreón rematado con una cúpula ojival metálica. Esta antigua casona espera ser declarada Patrimonio Nacional.
---------------------------------------------------
Llanquihue is a small town next to Puerto Varas on the banks of Lake Llanquihue.
Browse some neighborhoods of the town to find beautiful old houses of great historical and architectural significance. Traditional buildings expression of the first area inhabitants way of life. This infrastructure of European type is rooted in those architectural styles linked to neo-Romanesque, Gothic, neoclassical, eclectic very typical in regions were German immigrants come from.
The Wellmann House (Ex Gebauer) was built in 1920 by Teodoro Gebauer on the north bank of the rising Rio Maullin. It was built with local wood caracterized by its tower topped with a pointed metal dome. This old house is expected to be declared a National Heritage soon.
It was a 3-Moose day, and here are two of them. The rut was long past, but this big guy seemed to still be clinging to some fading hope: wherever the cow went, he followed.
I've already detailed my approach technique (under an earlier post - crawl, slither, keep behind cover, try not to jab any cactus thorns into left knee... well, two out of three isn't bad). This is an area thick with twiggy willow, ideal moose browse.
Only a few years ago there was standing water here, but several summers of drought have dried that up. Everyone is hoping for a return to the wet cycle. Farmers, ranchers, the moose and me.
The photo op ended when a third moose arrived in the vicinity - a cow. Cow 1 took exception to cow 2 and chased her off. The lone bull followed. Of course he did.
Since then we have had a ton of snow and plummeting temperatures, signalling the arrival of winter, for real, no kidding around this time. The roads remain good. The light wasn't good yesterday, but I returned to the park anyway, and the bull was present, although much farther away. He likes it there. I like him there. All is well on the northern prairie.

We saw lots of these on our trip - in fact I have never seen so many deer in North America as we did this time
A doe and her fawn browse the spring hillside for edibles. Fortunately for them, anything they put in their mouth is edible in this lush environment. This is a companion image to the one I posted yesterday--same time, same place--a little more intimate, with hopefully the same peaceful easy feeling of gentle beings going about their business.

El despertar... (Delta del Ebro - Cataluña).
The awakening ... (Ebro Delta - Catalonia).
Español:
Si quereis ver la fotografía con todo su esplendor, ampliar la fotografía.
Todo en calma, silencio absoluto, solo una ligera brisa que hace ondular ligeramente la superficie del agua y con mirada periférica observo en el horizonte como cambian las luces y los bellos tonos cada vez menos azulados y empiezan los amarillos en la superficie del agua y el horizonte.
Una cámara montada en el trípode y otra en mano para ángulos muy bajos y recorriendo los encuadres preseleccionados de antemano.
El espectáculo está servido, solo se oyen los clics de las cámaras al disparar. De repente empieza el delta a despertar... los patos luego los flamencos... con una sinfonía de sonido y color, luego... nuestras voces comentando ostras! la tengo, otro yo también, risas... estábamos contentos porque teniamos un excelente amanecer y con ello se unía a esta sinfonía, el sonido de las cámaras, todo estaba en funcionamiento y fue el... despertar del Delta!
Datos técnicos:
Cámara Nikon D800 con objetivo 48 mm. f/6,5 y una velocidad de obturación a 1/5, con un ISO de 400.
English:
If you want to see the photograph in all its splendor, enlarge the photograph.
Everything calm, absolute silence, only a light breeze that makes the surface of the water slightly ripple and with a peripheral gaze I observe on the horizon how the lights and the beautiful shades change less and less bluish and the yellows begin on the surface of the water and the horizon.
One camera mounted on the tripod and one on hand for very low angles and browsing the preselected frames.
The show is served, only the clicks of the cameras are heard when shooting. Suddenly the delta begins to wake up ... the ducks then the flamingos ... with a symphony of sound and color, then ... our voices commenting on oysters! I have it, another me too, laughs ... we were happy because we had an excellent sunrise and with it joined this symphony, the sound of the cameras, everything was working and it was the ... awakening of the Delta!

Grevillea, commonly known as spider flowers, is a genus in the family Proteaceae. Most species are endemic to Australia. Grevillea tripartita is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect, prickly shrub with divided leaves with 3 lobes, and clusters of red and cream-coloured or reddish-orange and yellow flowers. To lighten up the shadows I used a reflector here which turned out to be more useful than my LED panel which was overpowered by the bright conditions. florabase.dbca.wa.gov.au/browse/profile/19489
Elk are one member of the deer family that both graze (eat grasses) and browse (eat leaves).
The bulls (or more properly, stags) are quite docile in the summer and are either loners or hang out with other bulls in small groups. In the fall, during the rut, the bulls are unpredictable and dangerous and should not be approached.
