Nature is what we know -

Yet have not art to say -

So impotent our wisdom is

To her simplicity

~E Dickinson

Also know as: common dormouse

Scientific name: Muscardinus avellanarius

This is the first dormouse I have ever seen, they are very rare in my part of the UK, shame the brambles got in the way and hopefully next time I will get a much better picture, but still really excited just to have seen it.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by, your comments or criticism is very much appreciated, take care,stay safe and have a wonderful weekend my flickr friends 😊

We'd never know how high we are

Till we are called to rise

And then, if we are true to plan

Our statures touch the sky

~ Emily Dickinson

Yes, I know about "how cute" and "who can resist?" We had her over a couple of times and she does know us. Even more, she seems to see us as part of her family. In fact, I believe that she regards herself as a "child" belonging to a family of humans. She made it perfectly clear that she has certain expectations in terms of participating in our social life, eating our kind of food - almost asking for equality and fair play. Now my question is, how does evolution work in this case? Did dogs evolve to bond with humans? Did humans develop affinity to dogs? Or, is there a process of mutual co-evolution or even co-assimilation?

I know it's really not the best shot, but the light was absolutely horrible. This is my first ever shot of this species, and also the first time I've ever seen one for longer than a second.

This species is honestly bigger than I had really imagined; kinda hard to believe, really, where the phrase "skinny as a rail" really originates from ;).

good birding,

You know how it is.... one moment you are standing in the bright sunlight and suddenly you turn around to see the sky filled with storm clouds and an approaching band of rain!

There are nine-million bicycles in Beijing.

That's a fact,

It's a thing we can't deny,

Like the fact that I will love you 'til I die.

We are twelve-billion light years from the edge.

That's a guess,

No one can ever say it's true,

But I know that I will always be with you.

You know winter is close in New England when you have to start to worry about shadows at three in the mid afternoon. New England Central train 608 makes a very late run south approaching Chestnut Street in Monson, MA just before 4PM. The late departure from Palmer made this the only shot on the southbound chase with usable light as everywhere else was shadowed in. There are currently only two or three NECR units left in the classic blue and gold paint so shooting one leading is always a win.

Did you know that Parakeets, Owls, Myna's etc.. all share the same kind of home? They nest / roost in holes / hollow of tree trunks that are often created by other birds like Woodpeckers. On this day, we found several coconut trees with such holes in them. And a large flock of Rose Ringed Parakeets was active with some of them in these holes - while others were on the branches nearby.

The spotted owlet had occupied one of those hollows in the tree and the Parakeets clearly didn't like that. So they were continuously making calls and one of them even landed on the hollow to scare the owlet away. The owlet came out and landed on this perch very close - this was around 3 PM. It was sleepy, yawning and had droopy eyes. We felt sorry for it, but didn't disturb the fight and watched from a distance.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

Double-crested Cormorant:

The gangly Double-crested Cormorant is a prehistoric-looking, matte-black fishing bird with yellow-orange facial skin. Though they look like a combination of a goose and a loon, they are relatives of frigatebirds and boobies and are a common sight around fresh and salt water across North America—perhaps attracting the most attention when they stand on docks, rocky islands, and channel markers, their wings spread out to dry. These solid, heavy-boned birds are experts at diving to catch small fish.

From a distance, Double-crested Cormorants are dark birds with snaky necks, but up-close they’re quite colorful—with orange-yellow skin on their face and throat, striking aquamarine eyes that sparkle like jewels, and a mouth that is bright blue on the inside.

The double crest of the Double-crested Cormorant is only visible on adults during breeding season. The crests are white in cormorants from Alaska and black in other regions.

Cormorants often stand in the sun with their wings spread out to dry. They have less preen oil than other birds, so their feathers can get soaked rather than shedding water like a duck’s. Though this seems like a problem for a bird that spends its life in water, wet feathers probably make it easier for cormorants to hunt underwater with agility and speed.

Double-crested Cormorant nests often are exposed to direct sun. Adults shade the chicks and also bring them water, pouring it from their mouths into those of the chicks.

I know, this shot breaks the cardinal rule of dog photography - Never compose a shot with a tree growing out of the dog's head. But I just loved the happy expression on Jasper's face as we ran through the green space. An in my defense, this was shot blind as I ran with the camera dangling low (see the shadow) so I didn't really compose the shot, the composition just happened. Not my fault 😜

Some of you may know that I shot infrared film (mostly Kodak HIE IR) for many years, many years ago. From time to time some here have asked about this and whether I could post some images. Well, I have posted some in the past, but will do so again, and put them in an IR folder. But also, I find that analog IR images do not hold up very well when posted, but I will try to post some regardless!

.............................................................................................

Certains d'entre vous savent peut-être que j'ai tourné des films infrarouges (principalement Kodak HIE IR) pendant de nombreuses années, il y a de nombreuses années. De temps en temps, certains ici m'ont demandé à ce sujet et si je pouvais poster des images. Eh bien, j'en ai posté quelques-uns dans le passé, mais je le ferai à nouveau et je les mettrai dans un dossier IR. Mais aussi, je trouve que les images IR analogiques ne tiennent pas très bien une fois postées, mais je vais essayer d'en poster quand même !

I know, I know - I‘ve been uploading like a maniac. But that‘s just because… well, I‘m a maniac, I guess. Hope it doesn‘t mean quantity over quality for the most part. I‘m using quite a few of these different lenses for upcoming articles as well. So it looks like I‘ll be busy for a while!

I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow

It's cloud illusions I recall

I really don't know clouds at all

And things that you know

There's boys you can trust

And girls that you don't

There's little things you hide

And little things that you show

Sometimes you think you're gonna get it

But you don't and that's just the way it goes

I swear I won't tease you

Won't tell you no lies

I don't need no bible

Just look in my eyes

I've waited so long baby

Now that we're friends

Every man's got his patience

And here's where mine ends

Do you know

how often

I

speak to you

when you are not

here?

How often

I

mouth words and phrases

to the space

you

should be

filling?

I know I have said it before but it just amazes me what nature is capable of. Walking miles in this canyon, seeing what nature has done was just mesmerizing. This is one fall expample of what I saw and captured!! Kris...

I know that it has reached an end of my journey and it's about time to say goodbye.

I always know when autumn is upon us. The days grow shorter, a chill electrifies the air, and the camellia sasanquas in my hedge in my rear garden start to flower. Well, there may me no chill in the air - quite the contrary actually - however my camellias are budding and the first perfect bloom has appeared.

My "Plantation Pink" camellia sasanqua is always the first of my camellias to blossom in Autumn out of the specimens in my camellia hedge at the rear of my garden, and it seems to have thrown almost overnight. Where yesterday there were tight buds, today there are crepe like blooms.

Vigorous and fast growing, Camellia Sasanqua “Plantation Pink” is an upright evergreen shrub with masses of large sweetly scented single to semi-double, soft pink flowers and a wonderful centre of golden yellow stamens. The blooms occur over quite a long period between March and June in the Southern Hemisphere which makes them very popular. They are often used for hedges or to cover walls.
