Small bird activity has dropped off lately. Perhaps the red berries of the Madrone trees are finished. A Sharp-Shinned Hawk (Accipter striatus) flies over. A small sleek woodland Hawk that feeds on small birds, the occasional small mammal, lizards and insects. Mendocino County, North California

The spotted wood owl is an owl of the earless owl genus, Strix. Its range is strangely disjunct; it occurs in many regions surrounding Borneo, but not on that island itself.

I caught this beautiful rainbow along the eastern edge of the Sneffels Range (near Ridgway, CO) in between monsoon storms one evening during my recent trip. You just never know what you'll see when the monsoon is active.

Photo taken with dusk light.
The gamut of monitors is a big problem. If I see this photo on my laptop, it looks nice, but when I use my external monitor, it seems a bit sepia-toned!
How does it look to you?

I caught this fabulous sunrise over Mears Peak in Colorado's Sneffels Range earlier in the week. The lupine are definitely near peak in the area.
The last light of day pulls cloud strings and billowing skeins into a tapestry of red and orange, Northern Mummy Range, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.
After several hours of rain, it was unclear what might happen as the sun finally made its way towards its damp exit. The sky was leaden and nondescript for what seemed like a very long time. I wandered about amongst the willows, keeping tabs on a doe as she marked my every step with either her ears, eyes, nose, or all three. Deer synthesize the world via some exquisitely keen senses - in a way it's very hard to imagine. Natural history musings aside, I was very pleased when a reddish tinge began to build in the underbelly of some of the higher clouds. The light shifted continuously and in all three dimensions as it played across the various layers of atmosphere. Quite a reasonable number of mosquitoes made it their mission to extract nutrients from me to fuel their next generation; I made it as difficult for them as I could, ensuring only the most stealthy would go on to reproduce.
I was invited last minute to backpack up Hague Creek with my youngest son by a neighbor who was taking his three kids. Realizing I had no plans except continuing to work on a cider press that has absorbed far too many of my evening hours, we packed up and headed for the hills. The whining, sanguine, crepuscular denizens of the willowed sub-alpine reminded me why I should always remember to bring adequate supplies of bug spray to the Rockies in July.
Thanks for the visit!

The Diablo Range (Devil Range) is a mountain range in the California Coast Ranges subdivision of the Pacific Coast Ranges. It is located in the eastern San Francisco Bay area south to the Salinas Valley area of northern California, the United States. (Wiki)
This morning dawned bright and cool, ideal for a walk in the woods.
Today I decided to shoot jpeg only, just to see what results I could get.
This image is straight from the camera, re-sized and watermarked in photoshop and uploaded.
Shot with the X-S10 set to D range priority.

Happy Caturday!!
The leopard (Panthera pardus) is one of the five species in the genus Panthera, a member of the Felidae. The leopard occurs in a wide range in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia and is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because leopard populations are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation and are declining in large parts of the global range.
Contemporary records suggest that the leopard occurs in only 25% of its historical global range. Leopards are hunted illegally, and their body parts are smuggled in the wildlife trade for medicinal practices and decoration.
Compared to other wild cats, the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body with a large skull. It is similar in appearance to the jaguar, but generally has a smaller, lighter physique. Its fur is marked with rosettes similar to those of the jaguar, but the leopard's rosettes are smaller and more densely packed, and do not usually have central spots as the jaguar's do. Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic are known as black panthers.
The leopard is distinguished by its well-camouflaged fur, opportunistic hunting behaviour, broad diet, and strength (which it uses to move heavy carcasses into trees), as well as its ability to adapt to various habitats ranging from rainforest to steppe, including arid and montane areas, and its ability to run at speeds of up to 58 kilometres per hour (36 mph).- Source Wikipedia
The Range Rover was introduced to the public back in 1970.
Combining the comfort of a Rover Saloon Car with a Land Rover’s tenacity, the early Mid Size SUV came with spacious accommodation for driver and passengers.
The powertrain with a modified Buick 215 V8 engine, Rover’s groundbreaking gearbox and permanent four-wheel drive system on long-travel coil springs made the Range Rover well capable on an off road.
Musée du Louvre exhibited an early model as an „exemplary work of industrial design“. Early models had very basic interiors, Rover’s Saloon Car features like power-steering, carpeted floors, air conditioning, cloth seats and wooden interior trim were fitted in later during production.
Like the real car, the model features a Technic ladder frame chassis on coil spring suspension and rigid axles.
The build is Creator Expert sized, length 39 studs, 14 width, height about 17 studs.
Thanks a lot to The Lego Car Blog : )
More recently, an outing with a surprise ending. I'd been messing around with the camera and it's settings and forgot to go back to RAW from JPG for this outing with a friend down along Lake Erie / Long Pont area. I shoot at a high ISO and let DXO control the noise. However when shot and saved as a jpg the noise is "baked" in and not much can be done after the fact. So viewing larger will make the artifacts very noticeable, but I thought the subject content worthy of sharing...
Long exposure capturing the churning storm clouds glow in beautiful light as the sun sets behind the Tenmile Range Colorado. Quandary Peak.
The western group of the Snowy Range catches afternoon light and reflects in a high-elevation tarn, Medicine Bow Mountains, Wyoming. Medicine Bow Peak (12,018 ft; 3,663 m) is the highest point in the range and sits on the left in the photo. As there was absolutely nobody around and the air temperature was decently warm, I dared my two boys to strip off their clothes and jump into the icy water with me. After I plunged in and then struggled for breath as I made my way back to shore, only my youngest son took me up on the idea. The first thing he said after his head bobbed back above the surface was, “Help!” I extended a hand and pulled him safely back onto the warm rocks so he could dry off.
Today marks the first autumn snow where I live in Boulder, Colorado. As fresh-pressed cider ferments in the basement and leaves begin to drop, the summer feels increasingly distant.
Thanks for the comments and for stopping by!

The Cheam Range in the Chilliwack Valley.
Due to its proximity, the views across the valley from Upper Pierce Lake are stunning. With the creek dropping off the edge as an excellent foreground I tried to capture it at least 3 times - different light during the day. My favourite was this, my first attempt, in early evening.
Any help in noting the peaks is always apprectiated...
Elk of the Canadian Rockies
Elk, also known as Wapiti or Red Deer, enjoy large populations in North America, primarily in western parts of the United States and Canada. These large relatives of deer are also found in smaller populations in other parts of the world, in protected native groups or introduced populations. Their preference for open woodlands and a range of elevations make many states habitable for elk, though their current range is much smaller than their historical range.
The Elk Range is a mountain range of the Canadian Rockies, located on the southern edge of Kananaskis on the Alberta-British Columbia border. The range was named for Elk found on the mountain slopes and in the nearby Elk River valley. Originally known as the Elk Mountains in 1917, the name was formally changed to the Elk Range in 1951.
