I was walking around the backyard looking for something to shoot this evening and this caught my eye. The light was so pretty. Nothing specal, just a shot for the day.
Old cedar fencepost with barbed wire. This was once part of a pasture boundary. Since grazing ceased about 60 years ago the forest has reclaimed the land. Instead of cows there are now ovenbirds, warblers, wolves, and blue-spotted salamanders. Many of the trees (white spruce, tamarack, balsam fir, paper birch) are one foot in diameter and 60 to 80 feet tall. The grasses have been replaced with wood rush, lady's fern, wood fern, anemone, baneberry, bunchberry, and clubmosses.
A Western Bluebird sat atop a red fencepost against a bright but cloudy sky, shot on my way home this afternoon.
I typically upload in small sets - don't just look at the latest one in my photostream as you might be missing something you'll like more.... and your comments are ALWAYS welcome :)

Kash was doing flips across the top of the fence. Like the others, this was taken from the ground looking up into the sky
Spotted this while on a walk in the hills this morning, wild plants thriving in a rotting Fencepost.

Nemoura avicularis stonefly (male) found on a fencepost by the River Esk at Kirkandrews-upon-Esk, 16 March 20.
Although this insect is by no means rare, it's not one that I've previously recorded.
It was found along a stretch of the River Esk that I don't often visit and I can't recall finding anything of interest here before. However, on this occasions there were about 30 Nemouridae on fenceposts spanning a distance of a few hundred metres (see later photo). Most of them seemed to be Protonemura meyeri - for which I already have numerous records - but this one appeared to have a different wing pattern, and so I thought it was worth collecting for closer examination. Good decision!
Note on identification: Males of this species can be readily identified from the "half-moon shaped" feature at the tip of the cercus (Ref 1, Fig 12E). This is clearly visible in Photo 2, which shows both ventral and dorsal views of the lower abdomen.

Driving the backcountry roads around Council and Cambridge we saw an amazing number of various hawks and kestrels...
I don't know what this butterfly is called either but it was certainly very pretty and eye-catching against the green of the fence-post.
What a happy accident this photo was. I was crouching to take a photo of the nail and fungus when I noticed the gravestone in the background. I processed it a few different ways with the new filters on the iPhone but ended up liking this best.
