If you hike through the Allgäu mountains, you will be accompanied by a special kind of music the whole time. It is the sound of the bells that the cows wear around their necks.
Since there are bells of different sizes and therefore different pitches, a very complex melody is created here, which admittedly is often not very harmonious.
The cows on the pastures belong to the Allgäu like the mountains and the lakes. That's why, as a photographer, you can't avoid engaging with them (especially when they pose like this one). I also managed to take a few photos that I really like.
You can therefore assume that you will see one or the other of these gentle contemporaries here from time to time.
Wandert man durch die Allgäuer Berge wird man die ganze Zeit von einer besonderen Musik begleitet. Es ist der Klang der Glocken, den die Kühe hier um den Hals tragen.
Da es Glocken in verschiedenen Größen und somit auch unterschiedlichen Tonlagen gibt, ensteht hier eine sehr vielschichtige Melodie, die zugegeben häufig nicht sehr harmonisch ist.
Die Kühe auf den Weiden gehören zum Allgäu wie die Berge und die Seen. Darum kommt man als Fotograf nicht daran vorbei, sich mit Ihnen auch auseinander zu setzen (vor allem wenn sie sich so in Pose werfen wie die hier). Dabei sind mir auch ein paar Fotos gelungen, die mir sehr gefallen.
Ihr könnt also davon ausgehen, dass ihr hier von Zeit zu Zeit den ein oder anderen dieser sanften Zeitgenossen zu sehen bekommt.

Engaging return to this Alpine valley after seven months.
The last snowfall in April still left pleasant traces on the higher peaks and north-facing slopes.
All the meadows are richly coloured with flowers and are a joy to behold.

Molto piacevole il ritorno in questa valle alpina, dopo sette mesi. Montagne ancora discretamente innevate, dopo una abbondante nevicata in Aprile, mentre nei boschi e nelle verdi praterie, le fioriture danno spettacolo.

... However, as I headed towards them in the drizzle another group of trees caught my eye. An alley of large aged oak trees was begging for attention and possibly the same intended treatment ... #etbtsy
... Here, the arrangement was very different though. The trees did not appear random at all, they were regularly spaced and in lines, posing a challenge for the composition I was seeking. I kept moving around trying to find an angle that would break the regularity and give me a more engaging pattern. Eventually I found what I was looking for and spent several minutes fine tuning the perspective with a dance of my own, moving even so slightly in all directions watching what laid in front of me through the viewfinder ...
"Drosera, commonly known as the sundews, is one of the largest genera of carnivorous plants, with at least 194 species. These members of the family Droseraceae lure, capture, and digest insects using stalked mucilaginous glands covering their leaf surfaces. The insects are used to supplement the poor mineral nutrition of the soil in which the plants grow. Various species, which vary greatly in size and form, are native to every continent except Antarctica.
Charles Darwin performed much of the early research into Drosera, engaging in a long series of experiments with Drosera rotundifolia which were the first to confirm carnivory in plants. In an 1860 letter, Darwin wrote, “…at the present moment, I care more about Drosera than the origin of all the species in the world.”
Both the botanical name (from the Greek δρόσος: drosos = "dew, dewdrops") and the English common name (sundew, derived from Latin ros solis, meaning "dew of the sun") refer to the glistening drops of mucilage at the tip of the glandular trichomes that resemble drops of morning dew. The Principia Botanica, published in 1787, states “Sun-dew (Drosera) derives its name from small drops of a liquor-like dew, hanging on its fringed leaves, and continuing in the hottest part of the day, exposed to the sun.”

My mother-in-law was a collector of antiques, both large and small. Whenever I take out a container of her antique perfume bottles, I find myself wondering where those items were before I held them in my hands.
By adding a bit of color behind the cut glass and capturing the reflected light, it gives me yet another opportunity to silently thank her for sharing her treasures.
I've been seeing this human play music for so long....maybe even over twenty years now. He has an astute vulnerability that somehow gets translated into very engaging songs. My favorite Mount Eerie album is still Wind's Poem but the newest release, Night Palace, is fantastic and I enjoyed hearing him play these songs live on the last tour.

Have a great week!!!
I would like to tell the story of how I came to get this picture. It will only be of interest to a few diehard amateur photographers who might have experienced similar frustrations and rewards from our hobby.
This summer, we have had practically no hummingbird visits to our feeders. Now and then, the feeders are visited by a single hummingbird, giving rise to the impression that we only have one in our area. This is in sharp contrast with past years when our lot has been almost constantly abuzz with Hummingbird hubbub. After a while, I noticed that “our hummingbird” was paying regular visits to a Bugloss plant growing wild very close to our front door. Evidently, it preferred the Bugloss to our feeders.
I decided that this was the perfect opportunity to try out the new auto-capture feature that Nikon recently added to the Z8 by a firmware update. I set my tripod and Z8 up about 8 or 9 feet from the Bugloss with a 300mm lens and focused on the part of the Bugloss where I thought the hummingbird was most likely to go. Just as I was about to initiate the auto-capture and was looking at the screen at the back of the camera the hummingbird flew right into the frame in perfect focus and exposure and in exactly the position in which I hoped to capture it. Before I could get my finger to the shutter release it was gone !! I could not believe my bad luck. After that, several hours, spread out over a couple of days, of having the camera in auto-capture mode produced zero results. I gave up.
The morning after deciding to suspend my auto-capture project, I was at my desk and, out the window, I observed a couple of birds engaging in some strange behaviour high on a white pine. I got my Z8 with the 160-600 mm lens and went to my front door to take some handheld pictures. The birds were too far away to get any good shots. Before I went back into the house, my attention turned wistfully to the Bugloss which had been the scene of my photographic defeat. I wondered if I was far enough from the Bugloss to focus on it with my long lens. So, I pointed my camera to it and began trying to focus on the Bugloss. The very first thing I saw through my finder when the image came into focus became the picture you see above.
The hummingbird gave me a second chance at exactly the image I had missed a couple of days earlier!!

Sorry, I'm on a bear roll right now so bear with me.
Jumping spiders are more engaging than many other types of spider, striking postures that are easy to read into and so relate to. I never see other spiders bending their bodies and ‘heads’ in a way to so obviously check a thing out. When their big eyes turn towards me, I actually feel like we’re making eye contact, unlike with any other type of spider.
This handsome male is a Tan Jumping Spider, found where I have found several, inside my dad’s screened porch. They are the species of jumper I find most often, perhaps due to the fact that they just seem to like hanging out on buildings. I’m pretty sure I post one most Arachtobers.

It’s too darn hot today to go outside, so I’m sitting here wondering what I was up to this time last year… seems I was having a lot more fun 😉
One year ago, the Massai people hosted us in their village. It was a wonderful experience, indeed.
The Maasai:
Maasai are the tallest people in Africa and very strong. This is due to their rich calcium diet. The famous Maasai jumping is known as 'Adamu' and carries a deeper meaning. The jumping ceremonies involve warriors engaging in repetitive jumps, accompanied by vibrant singing and chanting, which can continue for hours on end. The Maasai warriors' extraordinary jumping ability is not solely attributed to their genetics but also the outcome of rigorous training from an early age.
There are over fifty tribes of native people originally from Kenya. The Maasai are one of the few tribes that have managed to stick to most of their traditions and keep their culture alive. This didn’t come easy though. According to Maasai history the Maasai tribe is originally from north-west Kenya, north of Lake Turkana in the lower Nile Valley. Later on, they migrated south and settled in the Great Rift Valley and the Dodoma and Mount Marsabit region. They were feared for raiding cattle as far east as the Tanga Coast in Tanzania. These proficient warriors excelled in the use of shields and spears but were especially feared for throwing their clubs known as 'orinka'. Maasai warriors were known to be able to throw the orinka with expert precision across a distance of up to 100 metres.

Magpie - Pica Pica......
The Eurasian magpie or common magpie (Pica pica) is a resident breeding bird throughout northern part of Eurasian continent. It is one of several birds in the crow family designated magpies, and belongs to the Holarctic radiation of "monochrome" magpies. In Europe, "magpie" is used by English speakers as a synonym for the European magpie: the only other magpie in Europe is the Iberian magpie (Cyanopica cooki), which is limited to the Iberian Peninsula.
The Eurasian magpie is one of the most intelligent birds, and it is believed to be one of the most intelligent of all non-human animals. The expansion of its nidopallium is approximately the same in its relative size as the brain of chimpanzees, orangutans and humans.
Magpies were originally known as simply "pies". This comes from a proto-Indoeuropean root meaning "pointed", in reference to either the beak or the tail. The prefix "mag" dates from the 16th century and comes from the short form of the given name Margaret, which was once used to mean women in general (as Joe or Jack is used for men today); the pie's call was considered to sound like the idle chattering of a woman, and so it came to be called the "Mag pie". "Pie" as a term for the bird dates to the 13th century, and the word "pied", first recorded in 1552, became applied to other birds that resembled the magpie in having black-and-white plumage.
The range of the magpie extends across temperate Eurasia from Spain and Ireland in the west to the Kamchatka Peninsula. The species has been introduced in Japan on the island of Kyushu.
The preferred habit is open countryside with scattered trees and magpies are normally absent from treeless areas and dense forests. They sometimes breed at high densities in suburban settings such as parks and gardens. They can often be found close to the centre of cities.
Magpies are normally sedentary and spend winters close to their nesting territories but birds living near the northern limit of their range in Sweden, Finland and Russia can move south in harsh weather.
A study conducted near Sheffield in Britain, using birds with coloured rings on their legs, found that only 22% of fledglings survived their first year. For subsequent years, the survival rate for the adult birds was 69%, implying that for those birds that survive the first year, the average total lifespan was 3.7 years. The maximum age recorded for a magpie is 21 years and 8 months for a bird from near Coventry in England that was ringed in 1925 and shot in 1947.
The Eurasian magpie is believed not only to be among the most intelligent of birds but among the most intelligent of all animals. Along with the jackdaw, the Eurasian magpie's nidopallium is approximately the same relative size as those in chimpanzees and humans, significantly larger than the gibbon's. Like other corvids, such as ravens and crows, their total brain-to-body mass ratio is equal to most great apes and cetaceans. A 2004 review suggests that the intelligence of the corvid family to which the Eurasian magpie belongs is equivalent to that of great apes (chimpanzees, orangutans, and gorillas) in terms of social cognition, causal reasoning, flexibility, imagination and prospection.
Magpies have been observed engaging in elaborate social rituals, possibly including the expression of grief. Mirror self-recognition has been demonstrated in European magpies, making them one of only a few species to possess this capability.The cognitive abilities of the Eurasian magpie are regarded as evidence that intelligence evolved independently in both corvids and primates. This is indicated by tool use, an ability to hide and store food across seasons, episodic memory, using their own experience to predict the behavior of conspecifics. Another behaviour exhibiting intelligence is cutting their food in correctly sized proportions for the size of their young. In captivity, magpies have been observed counting up to get food, imitating human voices, and regularly using tools to clean their own cages.[citation needed] In the wild, they organise themselves into gangs and use complex strategies hunting other birds and when confronted by predators.
In Europe, magpies have been historically demonized by humans, mainly as a result of superstition and myth. The bird has found itself in this situation mainly by association, says Steve Roud: Large blackbirds, like crows and ravens, are viewed as evil in British folklore and white birds are viewed as good". In European folklore, the magpie is associated with a number of superstitions surrounding its reputation as an omen of ill fortune. In the 19th century book, A Guide to the Scientific Knowledge of Things Familiar, a proverb concerning magpies is recited: A single magpie in spring, foul weather will bring The book further explains that this superstition arises from the habits of pairs of magpies to forage together only when the weather is fine. In Scotland, a magpie near the window of the house is said to foretell death. An English tradition holds that a single magpie be greeted with a salutation in order to ward off the bad luck it may bring. A greeting might take the form of saying the words ‘Good morning, Mr Magpie, how are Mrs Magpie and all the other little magpies?’

Over two years ago, an engaging and interesting event featuring a magnificent machine took place near Česká Lípa. A pre-war steam locomotive, the 486.007—also known as "Zelený Anton" (Green Anton)—arrived all the way from Slovakia. On October 12th and 13th, it hauled several special trains, and I managed to capture one of these runs—the Sunday trip to Ebersbach.
"Zelený Anton" looked stunning against the backdrop of the autumn landscape as it tackled the mountainous route. One of the spots where I managed to photograph the train was a well-known clearing near the village of Svor. That day, all the photographers were locked in an uphill battle against the clouds; as you can see, the outcome remained uncertain right up until the very last moment.
The 486.007, pulling a train from Česká Lípa to Ebersbach, departs Svor during a brief break in the clouds.

Ponad 2 lata temu odbyła się fajna i ciekawa impreza z piękną maszyną w okolicach Českej Lipy. Aż ze Słowacji przyjechał przedwojenny parowóz 486.007 znany również jako "Zelený Anton". 12 oraz 13 października poprowadził kilka pociągów specjalnych, a mi udało się uchwycić ten niedzielny przejazd - do Ebersbach.
"Zelený Anton" pięknie się prezentował w tych jesiennych okolicznościach przyrody walcząc z górskim szlakiem. Jednym z miejsc w jakich udało mi się uchwycić przejazd była słynna polana w okolicy miejscowości Svor. Tego dnia wszyscy fotografowie toczyli nierówną walkę z chmurami i jak widać, w tym miejscu, los trzymał w niepewności do końca.
