These whitetail deer wearing their new winter coats show how well they blend into the grays and early winter colors. Even when the snow comes they will seem to blend in as well.
Hi dear friends, this week another test with another new lens, the Sigma 150-600 "C", only the first impressions in one day in the Zoo.., I have a lot of problems for the right focus to the max length.. I need a lot of clicks more!!!
I wish you a fantastic weekend my friends!!
The first wave of the storm arrived in the wee hours of the morning with thunder, snow squalls, and continued high winds. The snow covered all except the steepest rock faces and the areas protected by the overhang of White Rim Sandstone. A layer of ice coated many of the rock surfaces as the snow melted initially and then froze. A brief respite in the storm with a few breaks in the clouds after sunrise allowed a view toward the Maze District of Canyonlands NP, including Ekker Butte in the center of the frame.
Deep inside a beech forest. Not a person for miles, nothing that you can see moving, yet the air is full of the sounds of movement.
From a wild walk, rather than a tourist viewing platform. This is the first time I've come across one so young it hadn't moulted its juvenile coat. I managed a quick shot using my landscape telephoto recently. Wishing everyone a great rest of week :-)
The most beautiful feature of the snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is also the major reason why it is a vulnerable species. That coat has to be (along with the majestic Tiger) one of the most beautiful of any creature. And look at its wonderful big tail here. Almost as long as the body itself.
Tomorrow I'll have some photos of the cats in action, and their speed and agility surprised me. Such wonderful animals, lethal in their natural environment, but endangered by just one other creature - the most destructive of any species to have ever inhabited this planet - homo sapiens.
But the snow leopard was also fortunate to have one of the truly great naturalist writers of the 20th century document its plight. In 1978 Peter Matthiessen (1927-2014) wrote "The Snow Leopard", an account of his two-month search for the snow leopard with naturalist George Schaller in the Dolpo region on the Tibetan Plateau in the Himalayas. It was a book that moved me greatly, as did his more recent work on rare Japanese cranes, "The Birds of Heaven: Travels with Cranes" (2001). In 2017 Peter's son Alex recreated his quest for the snow leopard: www.theguardian.com/books/2018/apr/04/zen-following-fathe...

I liked the colourful coat on this horse in the fields beyond Loosely Row. Taken on my walk last week
I must admit, I don't usually stop and photograph this particular bit of Mam Tor / Rushup. Looks a bit more glamorous with it's winter coat on!
After a hard day at work, I was out and about and I wanted to enjoy the fresh air and the beginning of autumn. I also hoped for one or the other photo. Just switch off and enjoy. There was a classical concert in the nearby castle and suddenly I saw a neighbor in the distance. She waved to me with something in her hand. She is friendly and nice, but also very curious, which for me was a kind of Code Red :-)! She said she had a ticket left and whether I wanted to go with her. Usually am friendly and explain why I something don't want . To this day it is an enigma to me how I managed to say, briefly and directly - no, thank you. I quickly took the photo, put on my headphones and beamed myself up with Metallica :-) because that was, what matters for me that day.
Thank you for taking your time and looking at it, I really appreciate it.
The Bison on a local farm have heavy coats to deal with the snowfalls this winter. Today, my coat kept me very warm on our walk but my cheeks got truly rosy with the cold temps.
He seems to be a juvenile, curious about everything and lacks natural fear of other species.

Many thanks to all those who view, fav or comment my pictures. It is much appreciated.
Taz losing her winter coat. How interesting the colour change.
This photo was taken mid-September and now Taz has completely lost her winter coat is is looking rather sleek in all black.
A drone photo from above the Cuillin ridge from my Skye trip in November, on a perfect winter day. I must admit one of my best ever memories was doing the ridge in summer, , and even though I've done a few sections in winter under snow and ice, I don't think I'c be up to doing the whole ridge in such conditions. My favourite stretch in winter was a day on Pinnacle ridge on Sgurr Nan Gillean which is the prominent mountain in this view. The cloud inversion made it so special. Coats of Ice is by Damien Jurado. I need to head north again soon if there's a chance of snow.
Wheal Coates is a historic tin mine located on the rugged cliffs of St Agnes in Cornwall, England. Established in the 18th century, it became renowned during the 19th century for its significant tin production. The mine's iconic engine house, perched dramatically above the Atlantic Ocean, is a striking remnant of Cornwall's rich mining heritage. Wheal Coates closed in 1914, but its preserved ruins, including the Towanroath Shaft engine house, are now a popular tourist attraction and part of the UNESCO Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape. The site offers stunning coastal views and insight into Cornwall's industrial past.
Driving through some of the backroads of Saskatchewan last summer, it was interesting to see all the Prairie Dogs alongside of the roads. A little disturbing too, as these little guys see no danger in fast approaching vehicles and would dart right in front of the car with no way to avoid them. They seemed to be prevalent around our campsite as well and had no fear of people - often running right past our feet.
This little guy stood out from the crowd with his seemingly designer coat. It was fascinating to see the perfect symmetry of the alternating dark and brown stripes with the lighter dots evenly spaced between the lines. Later, I read that it has 13 stipes running from the neck to base of the tail and practically enough, is called the Thirteen Lines Ground Squirrel.
This particular critter only appeared on one of the days we were there and seemed to have a taste for a very specific little plant. I had a longer lens on my camera and couldn't quite get enough DOF to capture more of that fascinating coat - but hopefully, you get the idea.
Bella on a windowsill with morning sunshine adding a golden glow to her tabby & white coat. Happy Caturday.
A fellow dog walker made Jack a coat. I put it on him and he refused to move, it was almost like a straightjacket on him :-)
Joseph's Coat Moths found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia. They are also known as Painted Vine Moths.
The moths are day flying, with black, red, pale blue and yellow colours. Male and female look similar except the female is a bit larger and with larger white area on thorax.
