Up close to a Pine Cone.
Depending on where you live, this time of year the ground might be covered in snow, ice and, most importantly, pinecones! We see pinecones everywhere during the winter—in wreaths, on trees and in our woods. But did you know that pinecones have a vital job? They keep pine tree seeds safe, and protect them from the freezing temperatures during the winter! To protect their seeds, pinecones can close their “scales” tightly, keeping out cold temperatures, winds, ice and even animals that might eat their precious cargo.

Pine Warblers have been here for several weeks now. Areas are starting to turn green and all we need are more migrants coming in.
Oneneedle Pinyon Pine, Pinus monophylla, grows near the Caballo campground in Los Padres National Forest, Kern County, California.
My never-ending quest to get a decent Pine Warbler photo.
Thanks everyone for viewing, faving, following and commenting on my photos.

Pine Grosbeak on a branch with beautiful light in the background. Just going through a few images from my trip up to Algonquin Park earlier this winter and this image caught my eye!

Apparently there was a new game in the backyard today when I was out with the birds - "How close can you fly to the guy with the camera without hitting him." The win went to one of our Titmice heading towards the feeder, about a foot over my head. I could feel the moving air from his wings. Close second for one of the nuthatches that zoomed by, carrying a sunflower seed, right past my knee.
Photos from today, any time I can hang out in the yard in January, wearing shorts, it a pretty good day. Angier, NC. 1.10.2021

Thought I'd give the Red Squirrel photos a break seeing as I got back this weekend from a trip to the Scottish Highlands. While there wasn't much snow around the wildlife didn't disappoint. So starting a wintry theme going with these two...
So taking a break from the fox project, I've just got back from a break up in Inverness/Black Isle with the hope of seeing and photographing Pine Marten, Osprey and Red Squirrels.
Obviously from this image I succeeded with Pine Marten (thanks to James Roddie's awesome hide on the Black Isle), and I'm pleased to say I had some great experiences with the other two species!
So kicking off plenty of photos I'll be sharing over the coming weeks of this trip, here's a couple of Pine Marten images. Easily one of my favourite UK species (if not the favourite).
I'm now looking forward to heading to Shetland for two weeks tomorrow - it's a hard life!

While visiting the Roman ruins at Italica, Spain, I was fascinated by the combination of palm trees & pines - a mixture that I would never see at home. The morning light was sublime!

Pine Siskins can temporarily store seeds
totaling as much as 10% of their body mass in a part of their esophagus called the crop. The energy in that amount of food could get them through 5–6 nighttime hours of subzero temperatures. Pine Siskins get through cold nights by ramping up their metabolic rates—typically 40% higher than a “normal” songbird of their size. When temperatures plunge as low as –70°C (–94°F), they can accelerate that rate up to five times normal for several hours. They also put on half again as much winter fat as their Common Redpoll and American Goldfinch relatives. Thank you for stopping by and looking. Have a great day 😊
Limber pines ( Pinus flexilis ) stand on a cliff of Cretaceous Frontier Sandstone which lies south of Cody Wyoming. The sandstone is interbedded with siltstone and shale interbeds which forms the ledges along the cliff.
Pine Siskin in my yard in Chester County. PA.
This photograph was taken a few weeks ago, but after being absent for some time a small flock of siskin briefly visited my yard a couple of days ago. I believe that they have now left for the year.

A really pleasant walk in the pine forests of Glen Nevis.
Much preferring to take these type of shots over the more mainstream landscape shots at the moment. Just going out wandering around taking whatever catches your eye.
I've been getting a bit bored and disillusioned with the planned wide vista shots which more often than not end in disappointment when the conditions don't go your way. Don't get me wrong, if a big landscape shot presents itself I'll not refuse it but don't think I'll chase them as avidly as I did.

I've got a real thing for Pine Marten - there's something about them that has me hooked!
Since having some amazing encounters with them this summer, as hopefully these photos show, I'm looking forward to getting back up to Scotland over a couple of trips next year for more time with them.
This American Marten is usually a shy mammal found throughout Canada in coniferous and mixed-wood forests. Those found in Algonquin Provincial Park have become too accustomed to People, Campers and can be found around the Garbage receptacles in the campgrounds. This was one of 3 visiting that food source.
_DSC3710-ARW - This statue called Pine Sanctuary is located at the entrance to Riverwood in Mississauga (a small conservation area along the banks of the Credit River). It is certainly eye catching with bold light green and cyan colouring although I like the bw image better. I think the bold colours obscure the complexity of the structure to a certain degree.
