Jack Frost on the window of my husband's truck. The bokeh was created by the sun beaming through my red bud tree.
This is my new Fav Guy. Ken basic always seem so blank for me. SO I updated him, His hair still give me some trouble but I'll find the way to make them the way I wanted. I don't know which kind of character he will be but still. Here he is !

Some years ago I bought a boxed set of two packs of miniature cards which were antique reproductions.
I thought they might make an interesting subject for my Macro Monday offering.
There are twenty one species of Snipe around the world and Jack Snipe is the smallest. It is also the only Snipe that does not have a pale central crown stripe as you can see here its centre crown is dark. Here's a Common Snipe showing its pale central crown stripe: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/51422047362/in/photolist If you'd have asked me three years ago which British bird I would most like to photograph I'd have said Jack Snipe without hesitation. Not because they are amazingly photogenic, but because they are amazingly elusive. I have probably seen thousands of Common Snipes but my Jack Snipe sightings I can only count in tens. Though in the last three years I have had a run of extremely good luck with Jack Snipes and have managed several unobscured captures of this bird that normally sits tight among dense vegetation. They breed on bogs in Russia and northern Fennoscandia but migrate south and west in autumn. An unknown number winter in Britain as their elusive nature makes them notoriously difficult to census. Common Snipe will often take flight as soon as anyone sets foot in their marshy habitat, making a call like tearing cloth as they do so. But Jack Snipe will sit tight until they are almost trodden upon, then will rise inconspicuously and silently. This individual splashed down in the middle of a small, garden pond at Spurn having just flown across the North Sea. It moved around trying to find somewhere to hide and feed, and occasionally revealed itself in full view like this, though you can see that my window of view was narrow. I think this is my only photograph of one standing "at ease" as my others are usually crouching/cowering, or walking.

I’ll be heading up here to Three Fingered Jack this weekend. I was going to give the aerial photo series a break for a while but couldn’t resit this final post after it inspired my backpacking destination. It’s a new location for me so should be an adventure. I hope to find some new pictures up there. And I’ll probably have a few more aerial shots to add eventually too.
Had to do a double taken when I spotted this Jack Snipe handing around our wheelie bin during the recent snow storms. I had to sneak around the house and lie down behind my car to get eye level with this fantastic bird. Nature is full of surprises!
Jack's culture on his staff infection in his leg has been negative for 3 days which is great and yesterday they took a spinal tap and found that his white blood count was really high, so they started treating that for menangitis, but so far that... culture has come back negative too. Could have just been high cause of the infection.
I got to the hospital today and was surprised as I got to give him a bath. And I got a great surprise, he had passed some stool into his diaper which is AWESOME as it's being collected in his colostomy bag right now. Found out tonight also that he had pulled his feeding tube out far enough to where he was having to swallow the milk and he did great, no episodes :) He's growing up before my eyes!!! All the nurses can't believe how big he's gotten in 7 weeks and they all just love him so much they still fight over who's gonna get him

The jack snipe is a small wading bird, similar to the more familiar common snipe. Unlike their common cousins, jack snipe are just winter visitors to the UK, spending the summer breeding on waterlogged bogs in northern Europe.
Jack snipe are secretive birds, often hidden in thick vegetation on marshes, wet grassland and in reedbeds. They use their long bill to probe the mud for insects, worms and even plant material, moving in a slight crouch and constantly bouncing up and down as if their legs were made of springs.

I happened across this smiling creature one day this summer. For whatever reason, he inspired me to name him Happy Jack. Maybe he has spotted his next meal flying above the pond.
I think he's a burmese mix. Under a year old, Jack is still all kitten. Very curious by nature, fun loving and affectionate. Everything you'd want in a cat. =) Love him... been watching him and his litter mate Jill on and off since last february.

Day 336 of 365
So for the first time this winter we have snow in the forecast, which means we probably won't get any. Unlike most Baltimoreans, I actually hope for and want snow. My vehicle doesn't have a problem in it and I love the white stuff. If any appears it will probably just be some flurries that wont stick. It is promising for a whiter winter though. Usually, here in my part of Maryland we don't see any real snow until after the new year.
Of course this is good news for the grocery stores. here in Baltimore even the mention of snow throws most into a frenzy and they hit the grocery stores buying up all the milk, toilet paper and bread that they can. I've never really understood this behavior. In Maryland I've never seen so much snow that I've been stuck in the house more than a few hours due to snow, a day at the max and never have I found myself dependent on bread, milk and toilet paper for my continued survival. If I was living in Montana or something I might understand it, but it makes no sense in Baltimore. In Baltimore it's just a bit silly.
Jack's Christmas present is already bought, but when we saw this in the grocery store we couldn't resist buying it for him as an early present.
Jack loves sound toys for the obvious reason that he can easily find them. His favourite is an annoying little bird that chirps. The slightest touch sets off the chirping and he'll chase that thing around for hours. He also loves crinkle toys. He has a couple of toys that crinkle a little, but we had trouble finding any good crinkle toys until this. It's so soft and the crinkle is so loud, he loves it!
Funny this, though, Jack's not too fond of bell toys. He has some that he likes to play with, but not as much as the others. The bells on the toys he likes aren't that big or loud.
He's also not too fond of catnip. The tiny amount they put in most cat toys doesn't bother him, but he hates the stuff my dad grows in the gardens. The other cats (and some that don't belong to us) flock the catnip patches, but Jack runs away from them! I think the smell is too strong for his sensitive nose.
