The sunsets have been eluding me lately. Finally I got some clouds to cooperate and give me a fine ending to the day.

... a few minutes after my last upload was taken (in first comment), there happend a tough, nosiy fight under a overhanging tree on the riverbank.

It went on for about 2 minutes with a lot of splashing and roaring, but it was impossible to see anything of this action because of the dense tree.

After that, there was a moment of silence and then we saw the successful hunter dragging a caiman out of the water,

finally disappearing with his hard earned breakfast in the adjoining forest.

Part 30 and last part of a series of pictures of the hard job of a Jaguar, trying to get his breakfast ...

If you want to see the previous pictures of that little story in chronological order, have a look at my Jaguar Morning-Album.

Thanks for your interest and I hope you could feel some of the thrill we experienced while watching this fantastic jaguar for such a long time.

Have a good start to the weekend!

A few eye distractions from the forest and the river. In the spring it's wildflowers, in the fall it's mushrooms (which are actually flowers of mycelia)

At last the little House Finch has the bird bath, (although rather dirty-looking), all to itself.

At the end of a hard days ride...

After days of gloom and rain; the sun came out and lit up the mountains.

Taken at the Little Spoon!

Finally been there= NordArt 2019

Finally snow in Lebanon today.

I finally get to post something that is not in flat light. Having spent most of my recent photography hours at the coast, I've been on a streak of only finding a subject in the shade or overcast, or pre sunrise and post sunset. This Solano County juvenile Red Shouldered hawk in golden hour light finally broke that streak.

We decided to take a few days and try to locate a few Whio (Blue Ducks). Whio are only in New Zealand and are one of our most endangered birds. There are only about 650 pairs left on the North Island and more males than females. They live on fast moving rivers and are found in many enviroments that other duck breeds don't survive.

Raindrops showing on the inside of our wheelbarrow with tomatoes in behind. It’s been dry for ages so any rain we get is a blessing.

The texture I used for this image is Roquefort from the Pastel Painterly set from Flypaper Textures.

Have a great day !

I have seen a number of nymphs this season but today I spotted the first adult of the season.

I will put images of nymphs in two different instar stages in the first comment box.

This piece you can only express through music. One powerful song and great movie to. They say a movie score makes the movie and it does. To be finally free is just to beautiful for words. Feeling on cloud nine.

Wishing Everyone A Wonderful Evening!!! :-)

“I’ve finally given in, my eyes are shut under the blindfold. I can hear and smell, but I cannot see. My hands are clammy I feel cold yet I am warm. It is what I wanted, but I am now unsure, dubious yet at the same time excited and curious. I would like to think I feel a bit like Alice just before she fell down the hole into the rabbit hole. Yet there are no rabbits here… not even those of the rampant persuasion.”

― LEONORA MORRISON

Montreal finally got a decent amount of snow today; here CN 4761 & CN 4795 lead a short transfer into the Port of Montreal. With the temperature hovering around freezing, the thick snow is sticking to everything.

Finally the spring is here and time to get those spring flower shots =)
