Something a little different today. I always miss seeing the vast fields of late spring / early summer wildflowers from the more northern regions, however, our 'fire wheels' have their own special beauty ...
Have a fantastic weekend, everyone :)
Summer days - and I hope everyone is doing fine!
(No new offerings at this point, but I have found quite a few files that for one reason or another I never managed to upload)

Took my good friend Alfred (www.flickr.com/photos/alfredlockwood) to see the World's premier venue of the beautiful virgin giant Bald Cypress.
Mother Nature served up an eerie/misty daybreak for us that morning.....a photog's dream.....
And though it was a bit late this year......we hit the peak color on top of that. Guess Alfred brought us quite a bit of luck.
While navigating the boat, I spotted this group of cypress surrounded by a nice cluster of cypress knees. The Cajun French name for these is Boscoyo (pronounced boo-ski-o).
For a Cajun Country explanation on these.....here it directly from Alfred's new friend:

Red-necked Avocet (Recurvirostra novaehollandiae)
Seen in the Kororoit Creek, Altona, a couple of years ago.
A Red-kneed Dotterel hunting for food in a swamp. Taken in Robe, South Australia on our Robe road trip last year.
The Red-kneed Dotterel is a small, plump wader (18cm ) with relatively long legs.
It has a black cap covering the eye that reaches from the upper bill to the lower hindneck.
A black breast-band stand out against the entirely white chin and throat band.
The breast-band grades into chestnut brown flanks.
The upperparts are greenish brown and the underparts are white from the belly to the undertail.
The bill is red with a blackish tip and the legs from the knees up are red, giving the species its common name.
Young birds are similar to adults but the hood and breast band are brown.
In all birds there is a sharp edge between the dark hood and white throat.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated..
Peaceful Sunday

Thick-knees ( Burhinidae ) are also called Stone Curlews or Dikkops and are large waders/shorebirds ( the order Charadriiformes ).
They all have large eyes and long thickly jointed legs.
The Spotted Thick-knee is often active at night when its loud call can be heard from a distance.
This one was foraging during the day near soem bushes where it could find cover.

Cypress knees are woody outgrowths from the shallow roots of bald Cypress, such as the tree trunk pictured here.
Thank you for visiting my photo stream!
This cow elk was trying to eke out a living in the deep snow of the Grand Canyon highlands. It always amazes me they can thrive in such deep snow, with so little to eat. Here's hoping spring will soon come!

Seen at Altona North beach couple of years ago.
Tour boat at the Yang-In Sandbar during high tide, Cagbalete Island, Mauban, Quezon, Philippines. When we first arrived here 3 years ago this sandbar was high and dry with almost up to a kilometer of exposed sand from the shore line.

Relaxing. The water thick-knee is a terrestrial feeder that forages at night. Although it is typically associated with water it can be found foraging up to 1 km (0.62 mi) from water. It feeds on insects, crustaceans and mollusks.
Despite using my 600mm lens, this bovine was on to me quite quickly despite all the lush green grass it had to dine on! Should wash your knees before dinner though!

Got right in amongst the wves for this one to time a wave coming in along with it receding at the same time, caught just about right
Been attempting to photo this guy for a week or two. Last time I drove by stopped and returned but he had walked deep into the swamp. Today was a breakthrough.
