Saw this little one this week and could not resist taking some images.
I will take this opportunity to wish all my Flickr friends a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and a better 2022.

Saw this little owl a couple of weeks ago, it was great to see it as I do not see them very often.

I saw this bird in Colombia and its one of the few birds that I also saw in Costa Rica. I was surprised how little overlap there was.
We saw both Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs at Merritt Island National Wildlife Reserve. When they stand next to each other, there is no question about which is which, but seen at different locals in non-breeding plumage, things are a little more difficult.
The Greater Yellowlegs (Tringa melanoleuca) is considerably larger, more robust and with a thicker bill that is both larger than the Lesser's, and relatively longer (compared to head size). In addition, the Greater's bill usually has a slight upturn as shown in this picture.
The Lesser Yellowlegs (Triga flavipes) will shown in another post.
We saw this big horn sheep as we were approaching the Logan Pass on Going to the Sun Road. My husband noticed a herd grazing on the field below the parking lot. They were just hanging out and people were taking pictures. Luckily, no one was that close and gave the sheep plenty of distance. I used my 75-300 lens to get a close up.
A very tiny (7-9 inches) owl that I havent seen for years. Tucked in the branches and hard to get a bit of open area but very thrilling to see.
Saw this magnificent grey wolf residing at the time I took this photo at the Alaskan Wildlife Conversation Center, in Alaska obvs. It's the closest I've been to a wolf in the wild and even from a distance they looked proud and intelligent and amazing.
The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is a sanctuary dedicated to preserving Alaska’s wildlife through conservation, education, research and quality animal care.
I don't want to alarm you, but some people close to me say that once a month, on the full moon, I look a bit like this. (That's the Halloween scary bit for those in parts of the world that celebrate it ;)
although I saw hippos every day during the Kafue trip last November I did not get great shots. Some of the encounters in the rather shallow water of the Kafue River were so close that taking an image was not a priority ...
This image was taken in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa a few months earlier

I saw this cow and I do take a picture of him that day, but then he was gone after the day I took a picture of him, I was so sad because many thoughts appeared in my head, is he killed by the butcher? etc. flic.kr/p/2nRmDgv
today I was passing through the field and saw him, and I am really happy for he is alive then I called him and he towards me (he didn't say anything, of course he can't speak, haha), I think it's definitely some kind of lost and found.
I deeply hope he has a happy life and healthy. 🐃
Have a great day and stay well, my friends.,😊😊
Like no other bird I have photographed, for some reason finding an Owl Drives one crazy. Is it the hunt? Is it the mystery? People always say, They are everywhere. That may be true, show me a shot. Do you find yourself checking trees along the road as you drive home? Do you have fun looking for Poop? This image is actually a 5 image stack done in lightroom. I was hoping it brought out some more of the awesome details and less noise.
When you're a Northern Saw-whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus) and it's daytime, the answer to that philosophical question is almost always no. Not that he wouldn't like to, necessarily. Sure, his eyes are specialized for night acuity, but they are skilled at picking out the day's details, as well. His talons and beak do not freeze during diurnal hours. Okay, so his wings have evolved for nearly silent flight and the element of surprise is somewhat lost if sunlight is stamping your picture in your prey's retina, but is that really why he doesn't fly?
No. The saw-whet owl doesn't fly during the day because he is tiny. He weighs no more than a stick of butter, and has no desire to be himself eaten by a daylight specialist, like a hawk!
... saw these 2 lonely tiny raccons waiting for Mom's return. My Gosh they were so tiny - a foot long if that. They were so close if I desired I could have touched them. Be safe and enjoy always.
When I saw this mural I was shocked and intrigued at the same time. Thanks to gavweaver.com we now know what it is and means.
Wiki says.......
""""Since 1856, the name Baphomet has been associated with the "Sabbatic Goat" image drawn by Éliphas Lévi, which contains binary elements representing the "symbolization of the equilibrium of opposites", e.g. half-human and half-animal, male and female, good and evil, on and off, etc.).
On one hand, Lévi's intention was to symbolize his concept of balance that was essential to his magnetistic notion of the Astral Light; on the other hand, the Baphomet represents a tradition that should result in a perfect social order.""""

Just happened to look out my window and saw this golden light reflecting on our building. Four minutes later and it was gone.
We saw these growing along the roadside in Comanche County, Texas. After some research, I discovered that these are a different variety Indian Paintbrush called "Castilleja Purpurea" or "Prairie Paintbrush". These came in a variety of colors ranging from scarlet red to a peachy color.
Not sure if this was the name of the ranch but with these hanging over their fence I named it the saddle & saw, Happy Fence Friday and have a good weekend
Saw it going down to the Trelissick beach on the last evening there and had to push the shutter button . Should not really have been looking all about as the way down is an area where cows roam and we all know they leave their mark wherever they roam !!
Saw this field of Rapeseed (thanks for the ID Wrenw17 ) and needed to stop for a pic.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D
Saw a Friendly Ground Squirrel at the Park this Morning. Brought a Smile :-)

Deep inside an oak hammock was this beautiful example of an incredibly old saw palmetto. They are amazingly slow growers of only 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch per year and it can take 100 years for one to become an adult. The long pithy stem is an identifier for this plant and I estimate the length of the stem to be15 foot at minimum. Do the math this is a very old palmetto.
That tiny gorgeous beauty was sitting on a pine and enjoying the warmer rays of Sun. With the temperatures dipping into almost freezing it was worth every second of seeing her. This tiny owl maybe small in size but she actually gave me the biggest thrill of any lifer so far.
"BASIC DESCRIPTION
A tiny owl with a catlike face, oversized head, and bright yellow eyes, the Northern Saw-whet Owl is practically bursting with attitude. Where mice and other small mammals are concerned this fierce, silent owl is anything but cute. One of the most common owls in forests across northern North America (and across the U.S. in winter), saw-whets are highly nocturnal and seldom seen. Their high-pitched too-too-too call is a common evening sound in evergreen mountain forests from January through May.
MEASUREMENTS
Both Sexes
Length: 7.1-8.3 in (18-21 cm)
Weight: 2.3-5.3 oz (65-151 g)
Wingspan: 16.5-18.9 in (42-48 cm)"

Thank you for all views, faves, and comments.
Saw a Buzzard flying much lower than usual at Attenborough Nature Reserve, Nottingham. Quickly it came down and rested on a post. I watched it for a while and took shots of it on the post and also flying off and back onto it. An incredible few moments being much closer to one of these beauties than ever before!
I saw this magnificent sunset,
"Through the Oaks" while walking through the neighborhood one evening.
This image came out a lot better than I expected.
Hope Y'all like it. Lol: Gasssman.
I saw men didn’t want to be saved from themselves, for that would mean they’d have to give up greed, and they’ll never pay that price for liberty. So I said to the world, God bless all here, and may the best man win and die of gluttony!

I saw a pretty good sunrise display developing on my way to work yesterday so had to stop and capture the clouds. Luckily this treeline is right next to the River Wey so I caught some interesting cloud reflections too.
