Every time I'm in our garden, I cannot resist taking pictures of our Rudbeckia. Here, I separated a single flower, where the setting sun was shining through the neighbors hedge which created a quite nice bokeh. I hope you like it!

Great Egret (I think) preparing to feed youngsters. Seen here about to regurgitate food. I arrived on High Island about 6:00 p.m. when the adults were returning after a day of foraging for food

These two bull moose where sizing each other up and practicing their fighting skills on each other. They are not big enough to challenge any of the bigger bulls yet but all this practice will come in handy someday!

to a New Year! Wishing everyone a Peaceful and Blessed New Year. I'll be away for a while.

 

Rose-faced parrot - Pyrilia pulchra - This species is endemic to the Chocó bioregion of western Colombia and western Ecuador, where it is an inhabitant of reasonably tall forest, plantations, and second growth, usually below 1200 m, although it ranges higher locally. The Rose-faced Parrot was formerly considered to be conspecific with the Brown-hooded Parrot (Pyrilia haematotis), from which the present species differs most clearly in the large pinky-red facial patch, outlined with darker feathers, and the lack of red feathering on the flanks and axillaries. Although considered to be generally uncommon, the species is capable of adapting to some degree of habitat modification. Like all of the genus Pyrilia, this species was until recently placed in the genus Pionopsitta.

 

One of the most beautiful birds of Ecuador. Wishing everyone a Peaceful bokeh Wednesday!

‘Among the bird world’s most skillful fliers, Cooper’s Hawks are common woodland hawks that tear through cluttered tree canopies in high speed pursuit of other birds. You’re most likely to see one prowling above a forest edge or field using just a few stiff wingbeats followed by a glide. With their smaller lookalike, the Sharp-shinned Hawk, Cooper’s Hawks make for famously tricky identifications. Both species are sometimes unwanted guests at bird feeders, looking for an easy meal (but not one of sunflower seeds).’

One day I`ll get a photo of an empty hall...one day…*g

I`m planing an Shooting-Session for the next view days and my tiny little helpers preparing the handles for the camera. First of all they need to get the Anchors into the right position. :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ich möchte die kommenden Tage eine größere Foto-Tour machen. Und meine kleinen Helferlein sind bereits fleissig am vorbereiten. Die peak design Anchors müssen in Position gebracht werden. :)

A jumping spider preparing to launch off from a flower. Photographed in Maryland.

Shot with a Steinheil "V-Cassarit 50 mm F 3.5" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.

White-crowned sparrow ponders taking off, checking landing gear one at a time.

This belted kingfisher had almost reached its destination branch and was applying the air brakes.

Looking out our sunroom window I was hoping to catch one of the Bluebirds perched in this tree, which is more and more becoming a familiar sight.

 

The other day I saw the female bringing back several earthworms to her hungry babies and thought that was simply amazing to see. I never expected to catch her bringing home this feast!

 

Took about a dozen pics and this was one the best because you can actually see what this is. A cicada!

Using the prompt word, Steampunk, leads to some fun Wombo creations. HDR and VFX styles used here.

 

Time to take off! Thanks for the visit and your comments!

 

There are not many groups that I have found to display Wombo works, so I have created one. Please be patient with me, as I have never done this before. Please check it out!
