A couple of the Wrangell Range peaks rising majestically above Willow Lake.
Mt Drum (12,010 ft; 3,660 m) and Mt. Sanford (16,237 ft; 4,949 m) are both volcanoes, fortunately slumbering at this time. First time I drove thru here I could barely see the lake, with the heavy rains. Didn't know what I was missing. Sure glad I had a chance to see them on my return.
Happy Friday!

Short Eared Owl - Asio flammeus
Over much of its range, short-eared owls occurs with the similar-looking long-eared owl. At rest, the ear-tufts of long-eared owl serve to easily distinguish the two (although long-eared owls can sometimes hold its ear-tufts flat). The iris-colour differs: yellow in short-eared, and orange in long-eared, and the black surrounding the eyes is vertical on long-eared, and horizontal on short-eared. Overall the short-eared tends to be a paler, sandier bird than the long-eared.
The short-eared owl occurs on all continents except Antarctica and Australia; thus it has one of the most widespread distributions of any bird. A. flammeus breeds in Europe, Asia, North and South America, the Caribbean, Hawaii and the Galápagos Islands. It is partially migratory, moving south in winter from the northern parts of its range. The short-eared owl is known to relocate to areas of higher rodent populations. It will also wander nomadically in search of better food supplies during years when vole populations are low.
Hunting occurs mostly at night, but this owl is known to be diurnal and crepuscular as well. Its daylight hunting seems to coincide with the high-activity periods of voles, its preferred prey. It tends to fly only feet above the ground in open fields and grasslands until swooping down upon its prey feet-first. Several owls may hunt over the same open area. Its food consists mainly of rodents, especially voles, but it will eat other small mammals such as mice, ground squirrels, shrews, rats, bats, muskrats and moles. It will also occasionally predate smaller birds, especially when near sea-coasts and adjacent wetlands at which time they attack shorebirds, terns and small gulls and seabirds with semi-regularity. Avian prey is more infrequently preyed on inland and centers on passerines such as larks, icterids, starlings, tyrant flycatchers and pipits.
This early morning view is in the Flinders Ranges National Park of South Australia looking over the Bunyeroo Valley towards a small section of the majestic Heysen Range which dominates the background.
The hiking trail that climbs up the hill on the left is a minor part of the 1,200 km Heysen Trail which winds its way from Cape Jervis on the Fleurien Peninsula to Parachilna Gorge which is about 67 km off to the right of this scene.
Hans Heysen 1877 -1968 was a German-born Australian artist famous for his watercolours of the Australian bush and for his depictions of the arid landscapes in the Flinders Ranges.
The Bernina Range is a mountain range in the Alps of eastern Switzerland and northern Italy. It is considered to be part of the Rhaetian Alps within the Central Eastern Alps. It is one of the highest ranges of the Alps, covered with many glaciers. Piz Bernina (4,049 m (13,284 ft)), its highest peak, is the most easterly four-thousand-metre peak in the Alps. The peak in the range which sees the most ascents is Piz Palü.
Photo is taken from Diavolezza. September morning. Objects from left are: Piz Palü, Pers Glacier, Bellavista and Piz Bernina.

Columbines are hardy flowers that grow in a range of adverse conditions up to an elevation of 9000 ft, therefore they’re symbols of endurance, perseverance and the willingness to take risks.

One of several scenic ranges that make up the West Elk Mountains, the Ruby Range is the backdrop for some beautiful views of fall color. The aspen on the southern flanks of the range make up the most extensive stands in Colorado, only a portion of which are seen here from Beckwith Pass. The two prominent peaks are Ruby Peak and Mount Owen. The conifer forests here have escaped the outbreaks of spruce beetle that have killed numerous trees in surrounding mountain ranges.

Highlands there in Wyoming with nice late afternoon escaping through the clouds and over the new fallen snow that day.
A little section of the Tararua Ranges taken near Linton.
The Tararua Range, often referred to as the Tararua Ranges or Tararua, is one of several mountain ranges in the North Island of New Zealand.
The Tararua Range runs northeast-southwest for 80 kilometres (50 mi) from near Palmerston North to the upper reaches of the Hutt Valley, where the northern tip of the Remutaka Range begins. It is separated in the north from the southern end of the Ruahine Range by the Manawatu Gorge. Most of the Range is wilderness, protected as the Tararua Forest Park.

A White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) buck is constantly aware of all things in our surrounding habitat as a matter of survival and in matters of reproduction. At this time of the year it is close to the breeding season for these animals and they are tentatively looking for a mate on the National Bison Range near St. Ignatius, Montana, U.S.A.

Taken Cairngorm National Park, Scottish Highlands. The Cairngorm Reindeer Herd is Britain’s only free-ranging herd of reindeer found in the Cairngorm mountains in Scotland. There are about 150 within the herd that roams freely over a vast area.
Seasons greetings to all friends and contacts on Flickr, thank you for all the comments on my photography. I am always so inspired by the amazing wildlife images I have seen throughout the past year and look forward to 2025
A view of the Ruahine Ranges from our picnic spot last weekend - a little section that I thought demonstrated the rugged beauty of these, even a tiny bit of snow still hanging on in there!

Sea to Sky Country and the Pacific coastal mountains of southern British Columbia - extending north from the Straight of Georgia and the low-runoff fjord of Howe Sound to the majestic snow-covered peaks and ice fields of the iconic Tantalus Range.
The sea-to-sky mountain corridor extends from West Vancouver to the world-class bouldering and rock-climbing haven in Squamish, and ultimately to Whistler's splendid alpine sanctuary and world-class ski destination.

A female Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep ( Ovis canadensis canadensis) looks up while I take her photo near the mouth of North Fork Canyon west of Cody, Wyoming. The sheep winter along the lower elevations of the Absaroka Mountains.
A huge severe-warned cell shows off some explosive convection as it drifts along the Front Range west of Loveland, CO.
Image Notes: To get an idea of how large the storm is, consider that this image is a five-frame pano. Each frame was shot vertically with the Samyang 14 mm, itself an incredibly wide lens. I processed each frame in DXO, corrected distortion/vignetting with PTLens (DXO lacks a profile for the Samy) and merged the frames in Photoshop to construct the pano.
