Ein grauer, kühler Tag. Ich hatte gehofft, ein paar Pilze zu finden, aber Grau allein macht noch keinen Niederschlag - es war überall noch viel zu trocken. Immerhin ein Schmetterling, den ich vorher noch nie vor der Linse hatte.
Keine Chance, das Ding zu sehen, wenn es sich nicht bewegt - er sieht im Gras aus wie ein vertrocknetes Blatt!

A grey, cold sunday. I had hoped to find some fresh mushrooms, but grey alone makes no rain. Was glad to find at least one butterfly I haven't photographed before. You won't see it unless it moves, because it looks like a dry leaf in the grass.

A little late, but I am catching up on last week's themes.
This Giraffe has been nagging me for a couple of months to get his picture taken. When it finally was time to do so, he did not want to be recognized, because he doesn't really trust the 'leaking' interweb.
Imagine that...

On 29 January 2017, I left home hoping to see one species of owl and came home having seen a different species instead! There was no sign of the first kind of owl, despite quite a few other pairs of eyes that had been searching. I don't normally drive from one location to another one that is a long way away, but I did this day, and I am so glad I did. I am not disclosing the area, especially after what some photographers have been doing recently to get close photos of a Barred Owl. While most photographers are respectful of wildlife, there are always those who will do anything to get a closer shot.
When I reached my second destination, I slowed down, starting to check the trees and fence line. Then I spotted a car parked further up the road and found that there were a couple of photographers who had already found the owl.
In the short time I was there, this beautiful Northern Hawk Owl was busy hunting, flying from tree to tree and along the fence line. I saw the owl dive into the snow twice - not sure if it caught a Meadow Vole the first time or not, as I wasn't quick enough to get a photo, but I did see it with a Meadow Vole dangling from its beak the second time. Sorry for the little rodent, but glad that the owl had a tasty snack.
The last time I was lucky enough to see one of these gorgeous birds of prey was on 8 February 2016, NW of the city, one year ago. It was just the same thrill seeing the one in this photo!
"The type of prey the Hawk-Owl catches will determine its eating strategy. For mammalian prey the ritual is generally the same: the Northern Hawk-Owl will eviscerate its prey, eats the head first (especially for prey like the red squirrel, whose head is fairly large), and then—when tackling larger prey—it will eat the organs and cache the remains; with smaller prey, the owl will simply swallow the body whole."

"The Northern Hawk Owl can detect prey by sight at a distance of up to 800 meters (half a mile). Though it is thought to detect prey primarily by sight, the Northern Hawk Owl can find and seize prey under 30 cm (1 foot) of snow." From AllAboutBirds.
It's that feeling of bliss, of contentment, of knowing you are forever in love. Everything is sunnier, everything a little brighter and cheerier, when you have someone to love. We took a cheery tulip print on a soft knit background and serged and snapped it with celery green. Soft but sturdy white cotton velour lines the inside of this diaper. You'll just love it. Forever.

Pure. Love. Simple. Uncomplicated. There is nothing about you I would change. Pure Love is a reflection of that simplicity, the perfection of a perfectly pure, perfectly simple, perfectly true love. With blue and brown hearts, blue and brown switched snaps, and a turquoise blue cotton velour inside, we think you'll fall in love.
