Black-capped Chickadee perched on a small twig sticking out of the snow.
It was sometime in January as I headed into Algonquin to do some winter wildlife and bird photography. During this season I tend to photography the Canada Jay, Pine Martens and obviously the Chickadee as these are usually the more common species out and about in the winter. Well not to mention ravens also, While at this one location I saw this little twig sticking out of the snow, so I got low and waited for someone to land. It didn't take long and this little chickadee obliged me and posed here long enough for me to get a decent shot.

Sundance has agreed to model his fluffy tail prior to his afternoon nap (which commenced seconds after this image was captured and at which time he laid his head between his paws and covered his face with his tail).

Out yesterday with Pauls Pix 53, ianbartlett and ajlelliott for a just over 10 mile walk to see the 6 Brightling Follies.
I spent ages with Paul and Tony, trying to get them to "shoot through" :)) Ideally you need a long focal length and shallow DoF ... lenses which we 3 had, but Ian didn't, so he went and played elsewhere.
What I was trying to get them to do, was put their lenses right up against this fluffy stuff and focus on another bit in the distance ... like this. The boys were a bit cack handed to begin with, but they got there, and hopefully had fun playing.
I don't know for sure, but I suspect this yellow-headed blackbird was collecting cattail fluff to line a nest. This photo was taken at Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge in southeast Idaho.
I couldn't believe my luck with kestrels in Cornwall, I know they've declined in a big way but they're certainly doing well in the south west. This male let me crawl closer and closer on the cliff tops near Godrevy lighthouse while he sat there and had a good preen. He must have just caught something with the blood on the beak and talons, I got the impression he had youngsters and was exhausted and taking a breather.
I'm am disappointed that car shows and airshows are banned for now in Illinois, but birds are still welcome in my back yard.
Evie on a walk last week, we had sunshine for a bit!
Flickr is pretty slow for me & pages don't always load properly, tired of seeing "We're having some trouble displaying your feed at the moment. Please try again" :(

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. The fluffy coat was bright green and yellow and looked like someone had butchered Ed the Duck and Orville to make it but I fluffed up the focus on the shot so a high contrast black and white shot was the only way forward. I still love the image enough to keep and post it even though I fluffed up the focus - the beauty of street photography is that it doesn't have to be perfect. Enjoy!
Taraxacum officinale
The common dandelion is well known for its yellow flower heads that turn into round balls of many silver-tufted fruits that disperse in the wind. These balls are called "clocks" in both British and American English.
