白馬五竜高山植物園・チングルマの綿毛

This is something you would never imagine from the yellow and white flowers of the Sieversia pentapetala.

黄色と白のチングルマのお花からは想像できない姿ですね。

Hakuba Goryu Alpine Botanical Garden, fluff of Chingurma

白馬五竜高山植物園・チングルマの綿毛

The Chinguruma (mountain avens), which blooms with yellow flowers, quickly turns into fluffy seed heads.

黄色のお花を咲かせるチングルマは、綿毛になるのも早いですね。

This place belongs to my personal story ever since - here I can experiment the taste of freedom, of gift and peace.

I have scores of photos showing the monumental dolomitic ridge of the Pietra Grande, and it's so much nailed into my heart that those clouds won't remove it!

Good news is that one of the young Kestrels is still around and has lost most of its fluff.

Grackle fluffing up its shining, iridescent plumage

Working on failed shots

"Hummingbird - Male Ruby-throated Fluffy" by Patti Deters. This tiny male hummingbird sat on the arborvitae branch fluffing himself to keep warm. His iridescent and shiny red neck really sparkles when the light hits it just so. There were a pair of these hummers flying and perching in the tree right outside my window - just begging for a photograph!

Starting to mess with drawing hair. >.<

Snowy Owl

Usually I see these Reddish Egrets back lit. At first this one was back lit too, but then he flew away.

It took me about 20 minutes to to reach him in his new fishing grounds. Luckily for me, the light was good there.

All our snow has more or less gone now, replaced by wet & mud :( Evie misses it and so do I, so much cleaner! Fluff and snow go well together I think & I love this capture of her, all fur & big brown eyes.
