Up close with an Australian icon. The Redback Spider (Latrodectus hasselti), feared by early settlers, was historically responsible for 12 deaths . An antivenom has been available since 1956, and there have been no deaths directly due to redback bites since its introduction. The female spider, as seen in this shot, is much larger then its male counterpart and has the distinctive red stripe on its abdomen. The female 'digests' the male during a successful mating process, which seems to be unique to Latrodectus hasselti. Females reach around 1 cm in size while males are 3-4 mm when mature. Shot was taken with a 100mm macro lens. NSW, Australia

When I was at Jackson Bottom last weekend, this California Groundsquirrel was on a path ahead of me. it was reluctant to leave the path, so I just settled lower and took shots.

- Closing Time by Leonard Cohen:
Great question for many of us when it comes to the final crop
Yes I did get the entire Owl in frame (inc. wings)
& Yes he was extremely close
But also 'yes' we've uploaded countless 'fly-by' Short Eared Owl shots recently
So an unconventionally close crop to create something
different
Good idea?
Bad idea?
There's no right answer
In the end it was just 'my idea'
"Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you"
This is not exactly what this Golden-headed Cisticola was singing, but close... (-;
(Cisticola exilis)
Stranded in the spooky town
Stop lights are swaying and the phone lines are down
The floor is crackling cold
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun
Driven by the strangle of vein
Showing no mercy, I'd do it again
Open up your eyes
You keep on crying
Baby I'll bleed you dry
Skies are blinking at me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
Your shimmy shook my boat
Leaving me stranded all in love on my own
Do you think of me?
Where am I now
Baby where do I sleep?
It feels so good but I am old
2000 years of chasing taking its toll
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
Image taken in Charnwood, Leicestershire. Very close encounter with one of the local Buzzards on my daily walk, still haven't found where they are nesting but must have passed close today.

Sometimes my photos require “Getting Close” to the subject physically. Lying on top of pile of leaves or wading in shallow waters. Remaining always safe there’s not much I haven’t tried yet to “Get That Shot, lol” From the top of the Empire State Building in NYC to a Native American Celebration in New Mexico and many cool places in between. Passion drives us to get our next fun capture. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe, mask up and go get your next great capture. 🙏
(They Long to be) Close to You

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
Of golden starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
(Girls in town)
Follow you
(Follow you)
All around
(All around)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
Of golden starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
(Girls in town)
Follow you
(Follow you)
All around
(All around)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Common snipe again this afternoon. He worked through the grass towards me rooting for food at a close distance
"I got to get away man
Got to clear my mind, mind, mind
Out of this mundane, god-forsaken 9-5, wasting my time"
Title and lyrics by John Butler Trio
Las aguas de la rambla de Tobarra, próxima a la localidad de Agramón (Albacete), antes de desembocar en el rio Mundo fluyen por dos anchos ramales.
En uno de ellos sus márgenes son pedregosos y es allí donde solemos fotografiar algún ejemplar de Onychogomphus forcipatus (como el macho de la imagen).
Se posaban sobre la piedras muy próximos al agua.
The waters of the Rambla de Tobarra, close to the town of Agramón (Albacete), before flowing into the Mundo river flow through two wide branches.
In one of them its margins are stony and it is there where we usually photograph some specimen of Onychogomphus forcipatus (like the male in the image).
They perched on the stones very close to the water.

Some of the many smaller islands in the St Lawrence Seaway near Alexandria, New York. This was taken in 2017 while on "Uncle Sam Boat Tours". There are many boats and companies providing a tour of the islands all summer.
The 1000 Islands (pronounced “Thousand Islands,” not “One Thousand Islands”) is a sightseer’s paradise and a popular destination for those looking for an authentic outdoor vacation. Located along the peaceful border between northern New York State (USA) and southeastern Ontario (Canada), the 1000 Islands is a region of endless shorelines, rich history and unique culture.
Vacationers have been coming to the 1000 Islands (there are actually 1,864 of them) for more than 150 years to enjoy its breathtaking beauty. More than 50 miles of waters that were once patrolled by pirates (yes … pirates!) and Prohibition bootleggers are now cruised by cottagers who enjoy serene bays and vacationers who tour aboard guided trips and hear the astonishing stories behind the islands.
To be considered an island, it has to stay above water 365 days a year and support a living tree. Many are open to the public and are home to parks, campgrounds and cottage rentals. Wellesley Island (United States) is connected to the U.S. and Canadian mainland by the Thousand Islands International Bridge. Wolfe, Howe and Simcoe islands (Canada) are reachable by ferries. Thousand Islands Islands National Park (Canada) is a group of 21 islands along the 1000 Islands Parkway, Ontario, that are open to the public.
