Friendship of a Peacock and an Elephant – A True Story
Once upon a time a Blue Peacock and Ludwig, a young Indian Elephant boy have been best friends. Unfortunately, Ludwig had lost his two little sisters and no companion to play with. His mum and aunts loved him dearly, but were not the right playmates for young Ludwig. The Peacock was seen quite often in the elephants’enclosure and Ludwig was very attracted to him and the Peacock to Ludwig. Very often these two friends were playing ‘Hide and Seek’ or ‘Catch Me if You Can’ It was so funny when the little elephant was running behind the peacock which was always faster. They both had good and happy times together until the young elephant bull had to leave Zoo Munich to find other friends of his kind and age in Heidelberg. The peacock is still to be seen there …. looking for his best friend ….
Wishing you and your Feathered Friends Many Happy Smiles

I would just like to say , Who do you think it is that keeps filling up the bird feeder and the fat snax ??
The least you can do is face the camera and chirrup a bit - come a few weeks time the leaves will be out and I will not be getting so many shots while you lot hide under cover of all the greenery !!
Judging your behaviour here I am beginning to think it might well have been you pooping on my windscreen the other day

Thank you all very much for your visits and comments.
The day after Christmas, my friend Rob (riverboy777) and I made plans to go out waterfall hunting, along with his daughter and her friend. We ended up going to Feather Falls near Oroville, after getting stopped by snow on our way to our initial destination, Seven Falls. It was a great hike. Feather Falls is a most spectacular 400 ft. high waterfall.

.... while I was walking in a wild garden in West Wales (Ceredigion) a bird dropped this feather which landed right in front of my foot. I thought I have to take a picture of it ....I regard this as a gift from nature.

Latest upcoming challenge already passed by and i didn`t have a image for that one. This morning i woke up and looked through out my window, and just realized that the theme was hanging there all the time. What you see is a dreamcatcher. The intention of this mojo is to keep all bad influences out of your dreams while you sleep. So here we go...my share for this weeks theme called feathers.
Have a great smileful weekend :)
Thank you for visits, comments and favs!

...have fascinated me and I am deeply impressed every time I see them somewhere in the forests of Switzerland. I know this picture is not very new anymore but I recently got some input or an idea from someone who shared his beautiful photo from a jay with us here on Flickr. I had completely forgotten that I have various pictures of jays myself, but never published them on my photostream here. This happens to me very often because I spend most of my time in the wild nature and can then take photos of various animals. The time spent out there is the most important thing for me and the wonderful moments of being able to experience it up close and in the middle of the wild. Selecting the many photos later on is always a lot of work for me and I shy away from it whenever possible. In this way, many of my photos stay on the memory card for a long time before I copy them to my computer. A lot of things are forgotten and I only discover the pictures when I really find the time or when I get a thought-provoking idea from someone like now. In this sense, I would like to thank Mike for recently publishing one of his photos of jays. www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/
This was a good opportunity to check myself again to see if I have anything useful about jays - this beautiful and clever bird of the forest.
As you can see, I found what I was looking for, but I had a lot of trouble choosing one photo from the many that I have. On top of that, I have a lot of trouble choosing one of my usually many photos. I really hope that I have chosen the right one for you and that it is beautiful enough to enjoy?
Well, the story behind this photo might also be informative for you. Actually, I was out and about in the forests of Switzerland and my surroundings again, primarily to photograph squirrels, because I now knew very well where you could find them and at what time. But things usually turn out differently than you think and, as is so often the case out there in nature, you experience small or large surprises. Anyway, I saw squirrels and was able to photograph some very nicely, but the real star of the day was definitely the jay. Why? To my great surprise and even greater joy, the jay passed by several times where I was photographing the squirrels, or at least trying to haha..
This jay sat on a branch not very far from me and maybe watched me doing something strange. At least that's how it seemed to me and it didn't fly away straight away but stayed in the tree for a while before moving on. As if that wasn't enough, he kept coming back to me and the whole game started again. I was simply fascinated by this magnificent bird with its beautiful blue feathers on its side. What more could you expect from a day in the wild than such an amazing spectacle that you can then capture with your camera. There was just one thing that annoyed me a little: my wrong settings on my camera. I was probably a bit nervous and set the exposure time much too short because I now had a camera with image stabilization. In that sense, I could have halved the time and the ISO values would not have been so high. I can't change it now and I'm very happy despite everything because the really nice thing about it all was the great experience with the clever jay, which made me lose track of time that day.
The wonders of creation are so diverse that this beauty will never end. Creation is here. It is in you right now, it has always been. The world is a wonder. The world is magic. The world is love. And it is here, now.

I found this tiny feather dangling from a buddleia bush in a rain soaked garden - for Macro Mondays.
11/100x The 2025 Edition: in the natural world
This, my fine flickr friends, is what the inside of my head has looked like for the last week - the feathered canyons and dark clouds (to quote Joni Mitchell)of a summer cold descended upon me . No photos, no inclinations even, no uploads and no likes, no comments and finally this evening I rushed down to the beach to get some shots and it was overcast and no waves. I looked upwards and saw these great summer storm clouds with the sun peeking out behind for just a few minutes - a perfect visual metaphor for my week ;)

As light as a .....
Feather, I found this tiny feather in the garden this afternoon so I thought I'd try a bit of macro. I tried a few different compositions but they just weren't doing it for me, I then thought I'd play with water drops to add more interest, that ruined the feather so the shoot was over.
I picked my favourite image and played with a few random settings in photoshop and this is the result.
I pick these feathers up from underneath the bird feeders... Mostly Blue Jay feathers, and stick them in objects in our garden.
