This blue hour photograph was taken from the Heritage Bridge of Lower Seletar Reservoir, looking West. The candle-stick shaped lights in the foreground illuminated the activity area, while other lights illuminated the paved paths along the banks of the Reservoir. It was a calm morning, which resulted in attractive reflections of the clouds and parts of the Reservoir.
Gentle Juno loves to play in the water , not easy taking a picture with one hand while Juno shakes the other with the stick :))
A Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus) that only has one leg, but he works hard and is constantly fetching sticks for his missus to stick in the next. It's great to see him coming and going.

This osprey was returning to its nest and hovered for a couple seconds allowing for this close in shot.

Hey everyone! I'm sorry I have not been as active as usual on the commenting the past few weeks. I am in the process of closing on a house and will be moving fairly shortly, so I think I am going to take a break from posting for a little while on Flickr until the craziness settles down.
I will try and check in when I can and see what all of you are up to.
Back soon, Pete.
Weather, Geology, and Nature paint a unique scene.
A Green Heron puts a bit of an effort in to finding its next meal.
So actually two bonuses - I was photographing the dead trees along the Creek - then a Green Heron pops in - bonus - then it stretches its neck - 2nd bonus!!
Some of the causes of the death of the trees along this section of the Creek include:
Record-Breaking Droughts: The area has faced prolonged, multi-month droughts that left sections of the creek near the outpost bone-dry for long stretches. This severely starves the cypress root systems of the consistent moisture they require to keep their canopy alive. NOTE - the droughts have been going on most every year not just this year - these trees have been dead for years that I know about.
Violent Water Fluctuations: When rains do return, the water levels bounce erratically. The creek can swing from completely dry to swelling up over seven feet deep within days. This sudden, extreme shift from drought to deep, stagnant flooding suffocates the stressed tree roots.
New Cowbone Marsh Channeling: Changes and new channels cut through the nearby Cowbone Marsh have altered how water drains away from the Palmdale section. This causes the creek's water to drop much faster than it historically did, exposing the trees to rapid hydration shock.

Questo tema presentava numerose possibilità di scelta... questa è quella che è venuta in mente a me... un bastone di ghiaccio!

stick mantid/popa undata or popa spurca
And here is the complete mantid, about 55mm long. It was at a location where taking a picture was difficult, so invited it onto a stick and placed it somewhere else where I could choose the background, very docile creatures...

For Macro Mondays - Stick
I spotted a stick that had fallen from a tree so watered the soil to make it mud. I then measured to find a part no longer than 3 inches. NB this section is 2 1/2 inches.
Here we refer to someone who won't change as a 'stick in the mud'
Happy Macro Monday!
I often need to land the drone on the roof of my jeep. I caught this shot while out getting a sunset shot.
Sometimes your life's balance is upside down. Like the stick. You believe you will have the greatest challenges coming from below, and you try to feel prepared, enduring... Suddenly a small push from above and you fall… Setting the tweezers back in your life is always difficult and painful... but you have to do it... every time
April means mud and stick season in Maine, along with frost heaves and suspension testing roads. On this particular spring morning, it is business as usual for Maine Northern train 909 headed north from Brownville to Oakfield, Maine. Eastern Maine lettered EMD SD70M-2 6406 and 2 sisters crosses the famed Golden Road just south of Millinocket, Maine on Friday April 22, 2022. Thankfully the state of Maine and NBM have turned the former B&A from what might have been a tragic story to a complete sucess.
