Sometimes I think photography is what strikes you at the time. You just drive around until you see something interesting.
This was one of those moments. Usually these are yellow to orange in colour.
Happy Saturday
Silvereye (Zosterops lateralis)
The pair of Silvereyes have visited several times over the past few days to feast on the Loquats.
I am running late today as we have some plastering being done in the house. I will catch up as I am able.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
We headed to the coast early in the morning to search for bear activity on the tidal flats. Coastal brown bears (Ursus arctos), like this young male we encountered, forage for razor clams at extreme low tide. Silver Salmon Creek Lodge, Lake Clark National Park on the coast of Cook Inlet. Alaska. Conservation status: Least Concern
I was lucky enough to spot this fine Red Deer stag digging through the snow to get to the soft grasses below. You can see the snow being kicked up by it's front left hoof ..
Wilson's Plover ~ (Charadrius wilsonia)
The Wilson's Plover is one of my favorite shorebirds to watch when they hunt. They scurry around at breakneck speeds, hunched over as they speed toward a meal (small crabs and insects) that is peeking its head up over the sand. Then they abruptly hit the brakes and pull the meal out.
Thanks for visiting!
We have just moved into our new place .. I will catch up when I can.

Dave plowed our driveway and I opened the window and took a picture of him making a spot with the snow blower for Maggie to go out and do her duties. I had to go out to the hospital for blood work this AM and couldn't make it. So fast again tonight. Trees, electrical lines and drifted shut roads are this morning here. Just about everything is closed. Dave has had 6 fire calls this AM for various helping other agencies with problems. Neighbors across the street without power for hrs but we were lucky we didn't loose power.
Sometimes I take a picture of something which seems very appealing to my eye, but then the result on my screen is disappointing. So I try to dig into that image to find what struck my eye and sometimes something which 'rebuilds' that first sensation appears.
This is what happened in the passage from the original picture below to the final result above.
(Maybe someone might find a vague connection between these words and S.Heaney or W. Wordsworth)

A volte fotografo qualche immagine che mi sembra particolarmente attraente, ma poi il risultato sullo schermo del computer è deludente.
Allora cerco di scavare dentro quell'immagine per ritrovare ciò che ha colpito il mio occhio e a volte alla fine compare qualcosa che 'ricostruisce' la mia sensazione iniziale.
Questo è appunto successo nel passaggio dalla foto originale qui sotto al risultato finale qui sopra.
(Anche se magari alcuni preferiscono l'originale)
Purple Swamphen (Porphyrio porphyrio)
This one was very busy digging for a meal. It had quite a big hole which you may be able to see - it could fit its entire head in the hole!
In an idyllic scene, an Alaska Brown bear digs for clams at low tide along the shore of Cook Inlet. This is a scene setting wide angle view with the bear reflected in the foreground and mountains with patches of snow and forests in the background. Cook Inlet, Alaska. Note all the little patches of mud dug up by the bear in its search.

IF EVER YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A HOLE, THE FIRST THING TO DO IS STOP DIGGING!

The LS&I is usually a very efficient railroad and trains move quick. I saw the storm approaching and figured there could be a neat shot, but I wouldn't be able to see them coming from my truck. Hiding under a tree the rain kept intensifying until it was a strong down pour. They were crawling trying to make the hill and it seemed like an eternity before they rolled around the corner into Queens. Soaked to the bone.
