Imagine if you will being a miner and listening to this drill digging away at the rock underground. Often these fellas had no ear protection and got all sorts of problems with grip because of the constant vibrations of the machinery
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!
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!
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 ..
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
We have just moved into our new place .. I will catch up when I can.
Back shot from January 2017
Flowers in my garden January 14, 2017, Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand.
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
Taken in our garden a couple of weeks ago and just right for the Smile on Saturday theme today - Combination of Flora and Fauna.
HSoS 😊
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.
European Honey Bee (Apis mellifera)
With the weather still chilly, and although we had some sunshine around today, the only insects around were the Honey Bees. This one was digging deep into Kath's Rosemary Flowers.
The contractors have been working hard creating long trenches on the beach from Black Rock towards the Pier. I asked one of them what the trenches were and he explained they are part of the improving biodiversity plan (see below) The trenches are like planters which, once finished, will be filled with native plants, flowers and chalk land grasses. The trench area will then be fenced in so the public can look but not touch.
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)
What a glorious sound these 4 Utah six motors made as they crossed the apex of Soldier Summit on a fine October afternoon. I was always a fan of this fine paint scheme. 10.00
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!
