Raining, windy and cloudy, driving along the local highway, all of sudden appeared the double rainbow, I was shocked by the nature miracle… Stopped the car on the side of the road, luckily I had the wider lens on my camera, I could capture the whole double rainbow, I also could ran to the different views, the double rainbow seemed following me… it disappeared in about 10 minutes… My camera was soaked with rains…

Looking close... on Friday! #Blue on White Background

Such a pleasant surprise to see that the British Wildlife Centre has rescued more Stoats!!

 

The easiest way to tell a stoat (Mustela erminea) from a weasel (Mustela nivalis) is the tail. A stoat's tail is around half the length of its body and ends in a bushy black tip. A weasel's tail is short and stubby by comparison and solely brown in colour.

This dark, long-bodied diving bird floats low in the water with its thin neck and bill raised; perches upright near water with wings half-spread to dry. The Double-crested (which rarely looks noticeably crested in the field) is the most generally distributed cormorant in North America, and the only one likely to be seen inland in most areas.

Burger's Zoo Breedsnuitkaaiman

Kaaimannen en alligators zijn familie van krokodillen. De nauwste familie in het dierenrijk van kaaimannen, alligators en krokodillen waren echter de dinosaurussen!

 

Kaaimannen liggen vaak stil in het water. Ze wachten rustig af tot een prooidier dichtbij komt en slaan dan snel toe.

Het is een soort die ongeveer 3 meter lang kan worden. De naam is gekozen omdat zijn snuit breed en stomp is. De oren, de neusgaten en de ogen zitten bovenaan op de kop. Zo kunnen prooien makkelijk benaderd worden vanuit het water. Op de rug zitten benige randen die tot aan de staart lopen.

Happy Sliders Sunday!

I rotated my photo from today’s Smile on Saturday oil on water and added another shot from that session for a layer of blue oil bubbles. My first attempt at layers. : )

I took a leisurely ride in a rural area and saw this beautiful horse on her hind legs tossing a construction cone high in the air. I did a double take excited I had to wait to turn around in a place wide enough to do so so that I could get back and take her picture. I slid from the drivers seat straight into mud . Woods to late-make the best of it. Just walk a bit and use my zoom lens maybe I could get her carrying her cone. Bingo-I did yay 😀 She made eye contact. Looked down at two orange cones and selected one slowly and meticulously and trotted by with it in her mouth making sure I noticed. My big smile told her I did.

A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured circular arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.

Double-crested Cormorant

Perfectly still water gave me a fantastic double sunset.

 

The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.

 

No comments today – just enjoy :-)

DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT

I posted a photo of Paulina Falls a couple of weeks ago from our time in Oregon. It only showed one of the falls, that I took from an overlook. Here are both the falls. We had to walk down a dangerous switch back trail covered with slippery bits of hard snow to get to this point, my sherpa carrying my gear :) No accidents or injuries, which was good :)

 

Zoom in and take a look around....

Double-barred Finch (Taeniopygia bichenovii)

For 'Looking Close on Friday', the theme is 'Small Animals with Wings'

A very late entry for the Smile on Saturday theme of capture the time. Sorry it is not the most creative of shots but ran out of time and ideas!

the crowned eagle (stephanoetus coronatus) is a lifer sighting.

to find a couple is a real privilege.

for years I was haunted by the dream to meet the most powerful african eagle.

a bit smaller than martial eagle is considered stronger and surely more aggressive than the savannah cousin.

crowned eagles are now rare and always elusive.they stay usually hidden and hunt in the forest like a huge goshawk.those raptors prey mainly on mammals of medium /big size (till small antelopes of 30/40kgs) ,monitors and sometimes big birds but....they are specialized on monkeys.monkeys have pratically 4 hands with opposable fingers and it means they can damage the vital feathers of the predator before to die.

this is why the crowned eagle is equipped with incomparable weapons.

two opposable talons are very big and large.the eagles use it to pierce the skull of the prey to kill it instantly.

crowned eagles are famous to be also cooperative hunters, this is why my title ,"double trouble".

shot at big distance,bad light(almost backlight) ,duplicator and high iso.....next time will be better:-)

Another shot of one of the pretty mountain lakes of Macun. It's a rather longish hike, all in all, but I can't wait to go there again.
