A coyote, making its way through the meadow on a bright overcast morning, stopped occasionally to gaze in my direction, perhaps it was not comfortable with what was pointing at it.
I took this shot in early June. It is quite surprising that this individual still had some winter coat around the neck and shoulder. But I think the shedding should be completed pretty soon.

Thank you very much for the visit and comment
With its long legs, long neck, smallish head, and long upturned bill, the American Avocet presents a very elegant image.
There were a large number of avocets at Merritt Island NWR, but this one was off by itself for a stroll across the marsh lake. In breeding season his white head and neck will become a rusty color.
Short Eared Owl - Asio flammeus
Over much of its range, short-eared owls occurs with the similar-looking long-eared owl. At rest, the ear-tufts of long-eared owl serve to easily distinguish the two (although long-eared owls can sometimes hold its ear-tufts flat). The iris-colour differs: yellow in short-eared, and orange in long-eared, and the black surrounding the eyes is vertical on long-eared, and horizontal on short-eared. Overall the short-eared tends to be a paler, sandier bird than the long-eared.
The short-eared owl occurs on all continents except Antarctica and Australia; thus it has one of the most widespread distributions of any bird. A. flammeus breeds in Europe, Asia, North and South America, the Caribbean, Hawaii and the Galápagos Islands. It is partially migratory, moving south in winter from the northern parts of its range. The short-eared owl is known to relocate to areas of higher rodent populations. It will also wander nomadically in search of better food supplies during years when vole populations are low.
Hunting occurs mostly at night, but this owl is known to be diurnal and crepuscular as well. Its daylight hunting seems to coincide with the high-activity periods of voles, its preferred prey. It tends to fly only feet above the ground in open fields and grasslands until swooping down upon its prey feet-first. Several owls may hunt over the same open area. Its food consists mainly of rodents, especially voles, but it will eat other small mammals such as mice, ground squirrels, shrews, rats, bats, muskrats and moles. It will also occasionally predate smaller birds, especially when near sea-coasts and adjacent wetlands at which time they attack shorebirds, terns and small gulls and seabirds with semi-regularity. Avian prey is more infrequently preyed on inland and centers on passerines such as larks, icterids, starlings, tyrant flycatchers and pipits.

This tiny Wren appeared on the top of the bird feeder outside my window and immediately started singing in a huge voice. It had only just fledged and perhaps had not yet learned all the secretive behaviour typical of a Wren, which is usually heard rather than seen.
It stayed all morning and then came back in the evening.
Perhaps this was its first song? Regardless, it made my day.
This photo shows it larger than life-size - for comparison, look at the screwhead in the feeder.

Winding its way along our scenic waterfront, the North Shore Spirit Trail is truly a City treasure as a fully accessible 35km greenway that will extend from Horseshoe Bay to Deep Cove. This unique, waterfront-oriented trail provides pedestrians, cyclists, inline skaters and people with wheeled mobility aids safe access across the North Shore.
The City's portion of the Spirit Trail is 6.5km long. It connects growing neighbourhoods and new landmarks with popular destinations like Lonsdale Quay, The Shipyards and Moodyville Park. [...].
The Spirit Trail is a collaboration between The City, First Nations, North Shore municipalities, and the provincial and federal governments. [...]. The City and Squamish Nation have completed the crossing through Mosquito Creek Marina. [...]. www.cnv.org/parks-recreation-and-culture/parks-and-greenw...

Where tripod was forbidden, I have to dig deeper to the last bit of this thing called ingenuity. I hated them for the 60 USD (5800 yen) toll and having my tripod deposited in a safety depo box.
Will the seven dwarfs take this photo to Explore? Hahaha. Guess not.
Genovesa Island, its sandy coral beach with a great viewpoint of the bay, is one of the Galapagos’ jewels. It is also known as the “Bird Island“ offering the opportunity to enjoy the most representative birds of Galapagos as: Puffball–chicks, white both yellow–crowned and lava herons, Red footed boobies contrasting with the Nazca booby and also the Swallow–tailed gulls, the only nocturnal gulls in the world that will be nesting at the cliff’s edge.
photography can make no pretensions to represent the first, but beauty can be represented by its means and picturesqueness has never had so perfect an interpreter :-)

Have ya all given up on me yet?
sorry.. been so tired and so busy.. only have 3 more windows to go.. then its "my" time again..
hope you all have a great weekend!
** Its rather sad to be posting the final shot from a trip but this is the last one from the road trip we took in 2016 . We drove from Santa Fe to New Orleans via parts of Texas . Certainly saw quite a range of different landscapes and cultures .
One of the highlights was spending time at Jefferson Island in Louisiana . Roseate Spoonbills are certainly the oddest birds I have ever seen and it was a good opportunity to see large group of them close up . I am in debt to two flickr contacts Cajun Snapper and Larry Daugherty who gave me hints and directions to a small pool on Jefferson Island.
Well that’s the end of travel shots from 2016 so will be posting stuff from 2017 soon. Its a good job I am so far behind given that this year does not look like it will be adding a great deal to my travel collection
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
Sometimes its too hard to fight for..
No Choices..Better to let it go, even if your heart is bleeding & your bones are burning
If I could stick my pen in my heart
And spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would you think the boy is strange? Ain't he strange?
If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
A love song so divine
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried? If I cried?
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?
If I could stick a knife in my heart
Suicide right on stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain?
If I could dig down deep in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would ya think the boy's insane? He's insane
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I said I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?
And do ya think that you're the only girl around?
I bet you think that you're the only woman in town
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it. I like it
I like it, I like it
I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Ooh, I like that
(Only rock and roll, but) Ooh yeah, I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Yeah, I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Oh yeah, I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Oh yeah, but I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Yeah, I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Oh yeah, but I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Oh I, I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Oh yeah, I like it
Yeah, I like it
Oh, I like it
Oh, I like it
Ooh yeah, I like that
With its distinctive plumage and evocative cry, the African fish-eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer) is probably the most familiar bird of prey in Africa. Perched majestically on a high branch, the contrast between the white upper-body and tail (not obvious in this shot), the chestnut belly and the black wings is unmistakable.
I followed this bird as it flew past, most shots were out of focus, but in this one I fluked an in focus shot of its raised wing. That alone saved this shot from the recycle bin.
Its a lovely little hill, smackbang in the middle of the Goyt valley, shame we couldn't see much this morning, but then we cannot always have nice weather....maybe it will clear later!.
Its time for them to bloom, this year it has many arms with cluster of flowers, this is one plant that does okay without help or water,
the simple morning dew it keeps it alive.
Its 7.34am on 23.10.2008 and a sky to behold as the sun rises over Thornham on the North Norfolk coast. The Pink Footed Geese are on the move and the red sky begins to fade.

Nothing like a hog between your legs on a crisp autumn day. Even better if you have a Loki hanging off the back. Loved this shot.
LM: Coming Soon
This is Jamesmoor Pond in the New Forest, a great location for a winter sunset.
A bit of a rush job as I left home a bit late. This was pretty much taken on arrival with the lens I had on my camera.
The lake was completely frozen over which shows how cold it was that day, bearing in mind this was sunset not sunrise.
It would have been better, I think, if I had put my wide angled lens on and taken this from a lower angle closer to the ice.
Always room for improvement!
Have a great weekend x
