As we were walking along the Washougal River Greenway Trail, a pair of Mallard Ducks exploded out of the water. They were so close, I threw up the camera and started shooting. I captured this shot of the Drake, which is uncropped and straight from my camera!!!

In all honesty it is hard to fathom the violence going on in our world today! How does this kind of behavior help our children? If we are unable to lead by example how can they possibly understand the importance of inclusion, love, peace, togetherness, helping, befriending and understanding?

We absolutely HAVE to CHANGE!!!!

 

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

Waves along the Oregon coast.

This is the mallard hen pictured yesterday with her ducklings, but in the preliminary stage where she was bringing them together. Yesterday's shot looks so serene after she had to expend such energy to get them together!

This successful osprey grabbed a fish from Commonwealth Lake. Note that this was a few weeks ago; we're not seeing much action the last week...

I love the sense of explosion in the sky you get with a long exposure on a bright windy day! This fishing boat was on the pebbley beach at Aldeburgh on the beautiful Suffolk coast.

Common Starlings have triangular-shaped wings beat very rapidly and thus can leave the ground, as shown here,

extremely quickly.

 

Common starlings on migration They can fly at 60-80 km/h (37-50 mph) and cover up to 1,000-1,500 km (620-930 mi).

The Great Reed Warbler is a huge warbler, 50% bigger than a Reed Warbler and almost as big as a Redwing. Most warblers move delicately through the reeds but this one crashes around clumsily. In plumage it looks quite similar to a Reed Warbler but it has a more obvious eyestripe and the larger size and stronger bill are usually obvious.

Habitat: Breeds in and around reed-beds, especially Phragmites.

In the beginning was Power, intelligent, loving, energizing. In the beginning was the Word, supremely capable of mastering and moulding whatever might come into being in the world of matter. In the beginning there were not coldness and darkness: there was fire. This is the truth…

 

…Once again the Fire has penetrated the earth. Not with sudden crash of thunderbolt, riving the mountain-tops: does the Master break down doors to enter his house? Without earthquake, or thunderclap: the flame has lit up the whole world within.

 

-Teilhard de Chardin, Hymn of the Universe

Yesterday evening I had the brilliant idea to take a walk on a meadow near the local golf course and look for butterflies. It turned out to be a lousy idea. Not only didn't I see a single butterfly but there also was an event at the golf course which meant lots of people and an incredible noise. As I'm quite stubborn I made my walk over the meadow nontheless but the only photo I took was one of a dandelion seed head which I didn't even like when I looked at it later on my computer screen. I decided to process it with Topaz Glow which kind of reflected my mood that evening ....

This is the Hat Thrower (Pilobolus kleinii) fungus growing on grazing animals dung (horse in this case).

The little black dots are about 0,5mm diameter and contain 30-90.000 spores. Pressure builds up in the little "balloons" and an explosion follows, sending the spores up to 3 meters away from the dung, so that the next horse will swallow them and the cycle can repeat itself. This is harmless for the animal, but some infective lungwurm larvae heard about these free rides and sometimes settles on the spore enclosures so that they too get dispersed far from the dung to be eaten and causing lung diseases. Amazing stuff!

 

See for example: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilobolus

 

Wishing you a happy 2022 on this explosive note!

You can just see the edges of the top of the light in this shot, with a gull sailing in very close!
