Image sharpness has a special button!
Actually, these 'buttons' are organ mixture stops. These stops give to each organ note simultaneously the notes of the major chord, in other words the major third and perfect fifth. Some say that arguably, in some cases these stops result in harmonic congestion as they are largely a result of medieval ignorance and their search for loudness in a world without electricity to drive power amplifiers. Organs were at one time talked of as 'instruments of power', as mixtures were used to achieve a balance of harmony and acoustic power resulting in loudness across an audio spectrum, something that played a significant part in medieval power politics.
This image from a low vantage point makes this Sharp-tailed Grouse with its long legs and its plumage look somewhat like a raptor. But those yellow eye combs tell us not so. The pointed tail is also different, and particular to this species of grouse. This bird was seen at a lek (courtship display site) in southern Alberta, Canada.
Species: Certhia familiaris.
Treecreepers are mottled brown above, white or whitish beneath, and have stiff tails, used in the manner of woodpeckers’ as support when climbing, and large feet with sharp, arched claws. Info:RSPB.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos
The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is related to our Pectoral Sandpiper, and like that species it is a long-distance migrant, traveling from Siberia to Australia and New Zealand. A few reach North America every year, mostly fall migrants in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.
This photo was a pivotal photo for me. Even though it is not as excellent or as sharp of a photo that I wish, wish, wish that I had taken, I recognize that the experience itself will always be something that I will cherish. How many people can say that they spent a half hour with a Lynx in the wild?
I think that every photographer probably has a “bucket list” of photos they would like to achieve. I too, have realized that I just might have one as well. I would love to photograph the Aurora Borealis, a Lion, an Eagle with a fish, an Owl with it’s supper, Lightning streaking across the sky, BigFoot, (Yup, I think I saw it - but that is another story), a Whale breaching, a Puffin, a Cougar, a Wolf, another Fox (I don’t want to get greedy though), an enchanted forest, deep in the woods with a mist rolling in, and perhaps, a Polar Bear - though I think I am done with bears for a while…
Oh, and I want to drive across Canada and take an amazing landscape that represents each province.
Well, I guess that’s it - for now anyway. Gotta go. My battery is charged and I have so much to see and so little time to get it into my camera…
Distant shot of this Juv Pectoral Sandpiper at Cley Marsh NR, not as sharp as I would like, but you don't get many opportunities to see or photograph one of these in this country. This one was particularly skulky and spent most of it's time in the undergrowth.
A grab shot through the kitchen window of the pesky hawk that I have seen snatch two birds. As well as several misses. I know it to must also eat but elsewhere would suit us fine,
Image taken on a clear sunny day on one of my favorite routes in the mountains, as it allows you to observe a beautiful 360 degree panorama all around.

Immagine scattata al bivacco Legui mt 1960, in una limpida giornata di sole su uno dei miei percorsi preferiti in montagna, in quanto permette di osservare un bellissimo panorama a 360 gradi, in cui troneggia il Monte Disgrazia.

At the water’s edge with the kind of effortless poise only a wild creature can pull off. Its long neck curves in a quiet S‑shape, the sharp beak angled toward the still surface as if reading the water for secrets. The muted browns of the pond behind it create a soft, painterly backdrop, letting the bird’s blue‑gray plumage and dark crown stand out with understated elegance.
There’s a sense of discipline in the heron’s posture a hunter’s patience, a sentinel’s calm. The grassy patch beneath its feet adds a touch of texture, grounding the scene in a natural simplicity that feels both intimate and timeless. It’s a portrait of focus and quiet strength, captured in a moment where nothing moves except the faint ripple of water.

Photographed at my home. There are some interesting shadows on this bird. Shadows of small tree branches almost look like they are coming out of this birds shoulder. IMG_1173
