Sharpham Ashprington South Hams Devon.
"Ramblings"
A chilly foggy grey early morning walk around the Sharpham estate grounds, turning into one of the warmest Febuary days on record.
I remember feeling proper overdressed once the sun was well and truly up while sweating my nutz off on the long steep climb back to the car.
Very much looking forward to 2022 spring and early summer birding.
Plenty of new locations I plan to visit over the coming months and lots of birds I would like to photograph along the way and many of those birds will be first time spotting for me.
"Happy New Year" ... And good health to you all...... Cheers!

The Ahwahnee distinguishes itself as one of the crown jewels of national park lodges. The hotel is a must-visit destination within Yosemite Valley for its dining, décor, and architecture that complements the natural setting of the park. The Ahwahnee was designed and built in the 1920s with the specific goal of attracting well-to-do clientele. In the following century, The Ahwahnee has more than fulfilled that ambition, hosting presidents and royalty as well as other famous personalities within its walls.
Located in Yosemite Valley
At the east end of Yosemite Valley, The Ahwahnee is surrounded by many of Yosemite’s most famous icons. You won’t need to go far to experience the iconic views travelers come from around the world to see. A casual stroll of the hotel grounds reveals views of Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, and Glacier Point.
Eurasian Nuthatch / sitta europaea. Calke Park, Derbyshire. 27/02/20.
'FRAMED ... NATURALLY.'
There were three birds in the feeding area that day, a pair (I presume), plus a.n.other that kept pushing it's luck. Consequently there were some feisty altercations, one being a brutal battle of claws and beaks that took place on the ground.
This bird was the outsider, generally sneaking around the periphery and ever watchful. Here it was captured almost holding the characteristic, upside down, 'curved banana' pose! The light falling on it, as well as natural framing afforded by two branches, was rather nice.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
Eurasian Nuthatch / sitta europaea. Calke Park, Derbyshire. 05/12/16.
My second day in a week devoted to making images of Marsh Tits. However, once concealed and settled quietly, there are many other subjects that grab my attention. Last week it was splendid views of sparring GSW's. Today, more nice close encounters with woodpeckers, plus several Nuthatch busily searching the woodland floor for nuts and seeds etc.
The one shown above stayed around the area for about 20 minutes. I couldn't resist taking a few shots when s/he flew up to the branch and started posturing at a rival who suddenly appeared. I just love the fantastic postures that this species can adopt.
The highly photographed and very old bristlecone pine tree growing high in the White Mountains of Inyo County in eastern California. DSC_5682A
The Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest is home to the oldest trees in the world, bristlecone pines. Some of these living trees exceed 4000 years of age and exhibit spectacular growth forms of twisted and beautifully colored wood.
This is nowhere near a perfect photo. Editing helped it out a lot. This experience has humbled me in many ways. I still have a lot to learn concerning photography, especially night-time photography. I accept the challenge! I'm already looking forward to next year's Milky Way season so I can try this shot a few more times.
This tree was once a huge tree that fell in the forest many, many years ago and has slowly been returning to earth.
You can see the smaller tree that has grown and conformed to the shape of the once massive tree.
This ’shell’ of the tree was quite a bit taller than myself at 5’5. The inside of the tree has now decomposed for new growth of many different organisms. Because of its resistance to decay and insect damage, the wood of large, fallen cedar trees can remain for over 100 years. Even after 100 years, some of the wood can sometimes be salvaged.
Really a beautiful sight to see while hiking around Lizard Lake.
Rising nearly 5,000 feet above Yosemite Valley and 8,800 feet above sea level, Half Dome is a Yosemite icon and a great challenge to many hikers. Despite an 1865 report declaring that it was "perfectly inaccessible, being probably the only one of the prominent points about the Yosemite which never has been, and never will be, trodden by human foot," George Anderson reached the summit in 1875, in the process laying the predecessor to today's cable route.
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.
Coronation Throne of Norbugang signifies the place where crowning of the first Chogyal king - Phuntsog Namgyal took place in the year 1642. The Coronation throne, which has the "appearance of an old Olympic Medal Podium" is made of stones, which has been white washed now. The stone throne has four seats, with the top one intended for Lama Lhatsun Chhempo. The coronation took place under the pine tree, which is still present today.

Tāne Mahuta, also called God of the Forest, is a giant kauri tree in the Waipoua Forest of Northland Region, New Zealand. Its age is unknown but is estimated to be between 1,250 and 2,500 years. It is the largest kauri known to stand today.
10 exposures in camera, while circling around the entire tree.
Norway's second largest tree (diameter), approx 1000 years old oak.
Fernshaw after rain.
Fernshaw was a rural township 63 km north-east of Melbourne and 10 km north-east of Healesville.
Situated on the Watts River, near where a log had fallen making a convenient crossing, Fernshaw was settled in the 1860s. It provided good country for orchards and berry growing. The location was at the foot of Blacks Spur, with Mounts Juliet and Mondah rising on either side, providing spectacular scenery. There were nearby fern gullies giving rise to the name – ‘shaw’ is old English for thicket or wood. By 1875 Fernshaw had a post office (1865), two hotels, a school (1871) and stores. It was famed for its beauty, attracting tourists.
In 1886 the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works began work on the Watts River water catchment scheme – later to become Maroondah – and the Board obtained approval for the catchment country to be reserved and kept free of settlement. This required the removal of the Fernshaw township, which was completed by about 1890
A tree against the sky possesses the same interest, the same character, the same expression as the figure of a human.

A large tree stands watch over a snowy scene outside of Monroe, Wisconsin.
This is one of those benefits of what I call "drive by shooting." Driving aimlessly along quite country roads can result in some rather spectacular scenes such as this one.

The massive trunk of an old tree stands as a quiet witness to history near the Wesson House in Olive Branch. Its weathered bark and sprawling roots tell a story of resilience and endurance. Captured in black and white, the texture and form highlight the timeless strength of nature against the backdrop of changing years.
This weathered and rotting tree trunk as been in Hulls East Park for several years now. Would like to know how old it really is.
