Happy New Year everyone!
We encountered this old overgrown stonewall in Fernworthy forest on our Boxing Day walk.
Little Owl / athene noctua. Lincolnshire. 24/06/16.
This is the female Little Owl with a very colourful prey item in her beak for her youngsters, - a Small Elephant Hawk-moth no less!!!
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
During almost three hours observation in the barn, I only saw her on this occasion. I imagine that she was tucked away with the young for much of the time, letting her mate do the bulk of the hunting.
How obliging of her then, to enter with this beautiful moth which enhanced my image making efforts. She was a star turn alright :-)
An old tree, on an overlook of Cathedral Valley, Capitol Reef National Park, Utah, seems to have been reaching to the sky, pleading for life sustaining rain.
Over the couple of years that we have lived in the Keys I have made a habit of photographing this old tree that has withstood rising water levels and countless hurricanes. The tree is nestled amongst fossilized coral at the base.
Today I spent a few hours with an old friend at the lake. Whilst he did some fishing I took a stroll along the lake shore. This was a scene looking across the lake and the remains of this very old tree captured my imagination and made me think.
Preveli Lake Crete.
After the fire, which for several years burned many endemic palm trees in Crete in the place of Lake Preveli, some trees became like heroes of ancient myths!
Bangalore used to be known as the Garden City but a lot of the trees have been removed and it is now known as the Silicon Valley of India. This tree is over 200 years old as can be found in Lalbagh Botanical Garden in the centre of the city.

El Pi d'en Xandri és un famós pi al entorn de Sant Cugat del Vallès. Als anys 90 es va convertir en tot un simbol de la lluita per preservar l'entorn natural amenaçat per la urbanització massiva. Fins hi tot fou atacat el 1997 amb nocturnitat. Algú intentà tallar-lo i cremar-lo, però va poder ser salvat, tot i que des d'aleshores "va amb crosses". Afortunadament els FDP que volien arrasar amb tot no s'en van sortir, i ara tot l'entorn de La Torre Negra és espai natural preservat.
El Pi d'en Xandri té 230 anys, i un estudi va concretar que va germinar el 1774.

==================
The "Pi d'en Xandri" is a famous stone pine, located around Sant Cugat del Vallès. In the 1990s, it became a symbol of the struggle to preserve the natural environment threatened by mass urbanization. It was even attacked in 1997 at night. Someone tried to cut and burn it, but it was able to be saved, although he has been on "crutches" ever since. Fortunately, the @#~€ that wanted to pave everything did not succeed, and now the whole area of La Torre Negra is a preserved natural space.
The Pi d'en Xandri is 230 years old, and a study found that it germinated in 1774.
From an early morning shoot where I got my shoes soiled in mud. If there is any consolation please tell me ;)
Hi There!
This little fellow found a great place for grub. He was in the depths of the woods, blasting away at the old stump like a maniac.
I appreciate your time to view and comment on this image, thank you! Have a fantastic day!

I have just noticed that this is my 503rd up load since the 19th of February, when I put up my first image, I have missed the 500 mark by a few days.
In September I uploaded an imaged named "Autumn Trees", these are the same line of trees, now minus most of their leaves and taken from a different location. The sky was a bit hazey that morning and the sun not quite where a I wanted it to be. Through the trees in the background can just be seen some of Leicester's high rise tower blocks.

This ancient bristlecone pine tree was probably thousands of years old when it died. Another, similar tree a stone's throw away was 3,200 years old when it died in the 1600s (determined by tree ring analysis), and there are much older ones. Of course, that's nothing compared to the age of that thing rising behind it - the Milky Way galaxy. It's only fitting that these two ancients meet, if only figuratively in a photograph.
This is a single exposure of 25s at 14mm, ISO 12800, f/2.8, taken in the Bristlecone Pine forest in the Eastern Sierras, just east of Big Pine, CA.
This set of images were taken in a remote park in Osceola County and is not widely known. I only saw about one third of it but you can bet I'll go back again.
