This is very small fly (about 0.2 to 0.3 inches, 5-6 mm long) that is bothersome this year.
It's a Picture-winged Fly (Delphinia picta), Supposedly, it breeds in decomposing plant material, of which we have plenty because we mulch our lawn instead of picking up clippings. I don't know if they bite, but as soon as I walk onto the patio, there are about a dozen of them circling me, and they seem to like to wait around our patio doors and windows. (I'm not sure what they think of me hahaha).
They lay about 500 eggs, so I guess I'm lucky that I only see 10-20 of them : )
This is a cropped picture, of the fly on a window frame.
A long time ago, I was commercial fishing in the Gulf of Alaska and would be caught on days like this. We just called it the "nasties". We all knew what that meant.
European Wasp (Vespula germanica)
For my friends in the UK and Europe who often comment that our native Australian wasps 'don't look like wasps'.
The European Wasp was first sighted in Melbourne in 1977 although had been seen in Tasmania in the 1950's.
I don't normally like to get to close to them as, unlike most of our native wasps, they are aggressive, but this one was busy digging something out of our side fence.
Bronzeskulpturen eines alten und eines jungen Fischers am Hafen von Neuharlingersiel, gestaltet von den Brüdern Hans-Christian Petersen (Esens) und Anders Petersen (Hamburg), aufgestellt im Jahre 2000. Vorbild der von der Firma Kunstguß Harms in Edewecht gegossenen Figuren waren Zeichnungen aus einem Skizzenbuch der bekannten Berliner Malerin Jeanne Mammen (1890-1976) aus den zwanziger Jahren, deren Familie aus Neuharlingersiel stammte.
Kaum ein Touristenschnappschuss aus Neuharlingersiel, der nicht die beiden Bronzefiguren zeigte.
...no! He wasn´t, but as often i ask him to smile - he won´t. Ok, so he had to live with my titles :) It´s a real nice, fluffy one.

After walking along the contours of the coastline for a while I did not anticipate this! My path suddenly took a rollercoaster type dive and climb across a small stream valley
It wasn't a good weather for bird photography this week. Still, I was rewarded by this unexpected appearance of a bird I'd never seen before: Crescent Honeyeater.
While looking for its ID I've found some interesting facts in Wikipedia:
The ancestor of the crescent honeyeater diverged from the lineage giving rise to the white-streaked, New Holland and white-cheeked honeyeaters around 7.5 million years ago. DNA analysis has shown honeyeaters to be related to the Pardalotidae (pardalotes), Acanthizidae (Australian warblers, scrubwrens, thornbills, etc.), and Maluridae (Australian fairy-wrens) in the large superfamily Meliphagoidea.
(Phylidonyris pyrrhopterus)
Just returned from my Cali holiday with little m I will be giving various shout outs with each post. I decided to start with this one because I have not had a chance to edit any shots yet and my travel partners also posted shots from here today so I didn’t want to be left out of the partay.
In Death Valley we had the pleasure to meet up with one of the coolest cats on Flickr dbreeze the rockstar Not only is he a cool cat but he is a fabulous tour guide and motivator. He was able to motivate his friend aaron to leave Vegas at 1am to meet us at the dunes for sunrise, that alone says a lot. Death Valley was an absolute wonder. The temps got up to 119 so that part was not my favorite. But we had a good system down of sleeping during the warmest hours and venturing out at night. To me the dunes are all about textures and lines. It is not hard to get an interesting shot from this place. I found the morning hours to be more colorful and have better shadows. Not to mention it's waaaay cooler :) I will definitely be back for my dbreeze the rockstar round II tour in a cooler season You can find him in the upper left hand corner of this shot to give the scene a sense of scale. And stay tuned for some additional dune shots soon.
I will be around to visit your streams this week. Can’t wait to check out all your new goods.
Cheers…. Dene’

If only they were heading the other way...OT-1 heads for Hayden as a thunderstorm develops to the northeast.
It wasn't that cold this evening, at -21 C, but toss in a fine blowing snow with lots of wind, and it suddenly doesn't seem quite so pleasant outside. All that said, the weather conditions did make for some very interesting visuals that I couldn't resist. Naturally, I took the camera and a tripod down the highway and spent some time freezing myself solid. I did get a cool photo, or two (pun intended).
Photo taken with the Canon EOS R and RF 24-105mm f/4.0 L mounted on a tripod. Finished image processed from raw in DxO PhotoLab 4.1.1.
Nasty Deeds.
