I spent the better part of an hour watching as this Eastern Phoebe worked a shoreline of Horsepen Bayou, making a circuit of the driftwood branches, repeatedly launching after flying insects and returning to the same perch to eat them before moving on to the next station.
Painted with rats a good chill night for some quick bangers we didn't plan tto paint quick but when we left we realized we only painted for about 45 mins.

ho da imparare molto:

Beautiful pest
Despite being a nuisance I really enjoy looking at the beautiful colors and wonderful design of flies such as this tiny fly sitting on a marigold petal.
Technically this is much larger than life-size, taken with a macro lens mounted on extension tubes using ring flash for lighting

Yes I know they are not native & are considered to be pests and invasive. I know they have a reputation for biting. But, still, so pretty!

Keeled Slug Snake - Pareas carinatus
During a walk around our hotel garden I came across a couple of these slug snakes. Completely harmless to humans, these common snakes spend their nights, usually off the ground, in search of delicious slugs and snails.
This Red-eared Slider Turtle, in a swampy section of the Lost Lagoon in Vancouver, has no business being here. Introduced from the southern U.S.A. as a popular pet, it is now a pest (and I think I was supposed to report it!) I believe that there have been sightings here in Australia, half a world away.

This was a tricky sign to shoot. This photograph is an interstate drive-by, shot as we drove along I-10. It was the only way. We parked at the base of this sign and I took numerous shots, from every vantage point available, but this old sign is SO TALL that the angle just wasn't working for me given the bright sunshine I had to deal with. Nothing I shot looked good. So back up along the highway and -- ta-da! -- I got the shot I wanted. Thank goodness it's right beside the highway!
From the excellent Roadside Architecture site, here is the scoop on this oh-so-cool sign:
"Peninsular Pest Control Service was founded in 1954. While the bottom panel of this sign exclaims "Home Office", there never were any other locations. This sign was built in 1966 and is visible from I-10. The height of the sign including the poles is 161 feet. The text panels are about 20 feet wide. The word "Peninsular" is composed of incandescent bulbs and is outlined with neon. The other letters on the panels are lit with neon. On top of the text panels, there is an animated depiction of a man firing spray at a bug. The company calls him the "Penny Man." His arm operates the spray gun in three-part animation. The spray itself is also animated. The bug is composed of neon tubing installed on a metal grid. When the revolving man faces the bug, the bug's neon turns off indicating that it has been killed. The company had to fight keep the sign when the local sign ordinance changed. The sign is serviced every month or so to keep it in full working order."
I know they are not native here and are considered a pest species. But, they are also beautiful in their own right. Especially in the sunshine.
