Sony A37, Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8

It is haying season in my part of the world. This was taken a few years ago. The barn has since been torn down. A shame if you ask me. The background texture is Texture - 314 by Lenabem Anna.

Winner of this year's 100m.

 

On the last leg of a recent trip to Finland staying at Parikkala on the Russian border, we headed out early one morning (4am). No more than half a mile driving away from our lodge, we encountered a small flock of Common Cranes in a field. I was driving but thankfully the camera was primed and ready as these magnificent birds were spoked by the car and took-off into the wind.

 

I managed a series of take-off shots of this bird. I can tell you it needed some runway! Light wasn’t great but the Sony A1 dealt with it!

He was born 30 December 1869 at Swanmore, county of Hampshire, England.

 

In 1876 he emigrated to Canada with his family and settled on a farm near the hamlet of Egypt, south of Sibbald Point on Lake Simcoe.

 

Leacock was educated at Upper Canada College, Toronto. He completed a degree in modern languages at the University of Toronto in 1891.

 

Inspired by Thorstein Veblen’s The Theory of the Leisure Class, he enrolled at the University of Chicago, receiving a Ph.D. in political economy and political science under Veblen in 1903.

 

He was keeping an eye on me.

Seen in Glen Strathfarrar, Scotland.

 

Have a lovely day/night:)

This is one of the two Western Bluebird fledglings that hatched in my backyard this spring. He’s fluttering his wings while waiting for dad to arrive with a tasty morsel.

 

Western Bluebirds are small thrushes that usually perch upright. They are stocky with thin, straight bills and fairly short tails.

 

Male Western Bluebirds are shiny blue above with rust-orange extending from a vest on the breast onto the upper back. Females are gray-buff with a pale orange wash on the breast and blue tints to the wings and tail. The throat is blue in males and gray-buff in females, and the lower belly is whitish.

 

These birds are highly social, and usually feed in flocks during the non-breeding season. They hunt for terrestrial insects by dropping to the ground from a low perch. Western Bluebirds also frequently feed on berries in trees. Western Bluebirds rely on trees both for nesting cavities and hunting perches, and also perch on fences and utility lines.

He visits us from time to time because he likes the nepetas in our garden.

Walkin' down this rocky road

Wondering where my life is leadin'

Rollin' on to the bitter end...

All the critters were on hawk watch this morning as a Cooper's hawk was hanging out at the feeders today. This little red squirrel had a good hiding spot.

 

Thank you so much for taking a look, the favs and comments.

He felt that there was no god in heaven, but he liked the blue just the same. (A. Castronuovo)

While waiting for the night to begin, a little feathered friend flew up, and asked me to dance.

when he came back home - i did wake up, Margret eyes filled with tears now - blood on his hands, his clothes.. my mother grabbed without a word her things and left us... i was running at my window and saw her walking to the trainstation - she turned around and blowed me a kiss...... this was the very last time i saw her. - she left me alone

Another hike while it is very hot in Vancouver but at least it was early in the morning and not as hot in the forest.

 

On aime aller marcher et ici on est a l'ombre ce qui est bien vu la canicule qui dure depuis une semaine à Vancouver.

He only kills enough to eat, not more.

Some "humans" could learn from him and not kill other people needlessly! These days even seeing such beautiful animal does not bring me joy...

Photographed from the best blind, the car. Coyote was pouncing on the voles between the grasses, but eventually got closer to the park path.

He passed away 7 years ago....He was a good and hardworking people.

He who binds to himself a joy

Does the winged life destroy;

But he who kisses the joy as it flies

Lives in eternity's sun rise.

This was the beginning of a nice little storm that chose to chase us from this small peninsula we considered perfect for staying the night on. The wind blew on our camper van, it shook us and tried to topple us over so vigorously, we had to give in and leave in search for shelter...

¡Yo, aún no he aprendido

cómo se montan los costos

de eso que llamamos luz!

Desde luego, no es fácil

conocer los elementos

que entran en tal portento.

Y si hablamos de variables,

de gastos, no de otra cosa,

¿qué se mete en tal cajón?

¿Y de fijos?

Eso que siempre cuesta,

se produzca más o menos,

y que siempre está ahí.

¿Me desglosa, por favor,

ese costo interminable

que incluye a tanto señor?

Yo, aún no he aprendido

si el robo y el latrocinio

también se incluye ahí.

No se ofendan, no señores,

que llevarse un sobresueldo

por sentarse en el consejo

no es robo, es conexión

de una torre con otra

de ese sabido ajedrez

donde sólo los peones

mueven de uno en uno,

y su costo bien se ve.

No así el costo fijo,

oculto entre no sé qué.

  

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov - El vuelo del moscardón.

He may not be "Meaner then a junkyard dog," but he looks the part.

Our Mighty Little Hunter, the male American Kestrel was successful once again. It was a very windy day and I was surprised I got this shot off as he was having a hard time flying with the Vole half his size. After zipping around in circles and me getting dizzy trying to follow him, he landed in a nearby tree where he ate his kill. Bucks County PA.

He looks like the garden pet!

But know., this is a wild buzzard., and he's an absolute beauty as well

 

You'll know by now we 'love' our raptors., and spend a lot of time chasing them around.,

 

Doing all of this we have got to notice the variations in colour and even facial features from one bird to another

 

Even in the avian world., some birds are just better looking than others & this one could easily get a job as a part-time model!
