Hier hab ich mir am Morgen auch noch mal die Füsse vertreten. Diesmal ohne Stativ ;-)

Diese Waldbilder gelingen doch am besten wenn man eine Belichtungsreihe zur Verfügung hat ;-)...Hab mal probiert "aus der Hand heraus" mit einer Aufnahme die richtige Belichtung dieser Szene zu treffen um nachher auch noch was brauchbares zum bearbeiten zu haben. Schon wahnsinn was die heutigen Kameras für einen Dynamikumfang haben :-)

 

Grüssle, Klaus

When the evening falls and the sun is setting....Canada Place catches the last sunrays..

 

Canada Place is an iconic landmark and venue for world-class events and inspirationally Canadian experiences, located in the heart of Vancouver’s waterfront. Canada Place is home port to the Vancouver-Alaska cruises, and houses Vancouver Convention Centre, Pan Pacific Hotel and World Trade Centre.

Des fleurs splendides au début du printemps qui ne durent pas longtemps, donc il faut les admirer quand c'est possible.

Splendid blooms in early spring that don't last long, so they should be admired when possible.

Due to the amount of awards and comments, I can't thank everyone individually, so I'm doing it here.

Thanks for stopping by my gallery. I’m very pleased and really appreciate each and every view of my photo, comments, invitations and awards.

The two Raccoons that attacked my feeder last Thursday returned again for a daylight burglary next day. This marauder has actually struck this pose to re-think its approach after this one failed. They paused after a couple of failed attempts and then one climbed up the tree holding the feeder and soon the feeder was on the ground.

 

It was great fun seeing them involved in their hijinks again.

Thank you for your lovely comments and invites they are all appreciated.

They cleave the water like a jewel, and cracks it to bright light.

Based on "Spring Day [Bath]" poem by Amy Lowell

The House Sparrow is a small but sturdily built bird with a stout bill designed for eating seeds. The overall appearance is somewhat scruffy due to the loose nature of the plumage. Adult males are distinctive, the crown and nape are grey and only the sides of the head are brown. The black bib is wide and extends down onto the chest. The back is warm brown, streaked with black but with a few white wing feathers. In winter, the bib is reduced and the brown at the sides of the head becomes flecked with grey. Adult females and juvenile birds of both sexes are typically sandy brown in colour with brown and grey streaks on the back and wings.

 

House Sparrows make a wide range of chirping and chattering sounds; the courtship song being rather unkindly described as ‘a monotonous series of the [chirp] call note'.

 

The decline in House Sparrows has been going on for several decades and there appear to be different factors influencing rural and suburban populations. Agricultural change, loss of nest sites and reduced food availability appears to have influenced rural populations. However, the factors behind the urban and suburban declines are more difficult to isolate.

 

The individual territory of the male House Sparrow really only consists of the nesting hole and a very small area around it. This is defended vigorously and used as the ultimate come-on for the female. She will judge the male by his vigorous behaviour and also by his plumage. The black bib is the badge he uses and this is very important for him. It seems that males with small bibs can be induced to behave more boldly if they have bigger and blacker bibs painted on them!

 

The normal nest sites are holes in buildings but if these are not available they regularly build untidy detached nests within ivy. These are really very characteristic and show the House Sparrow’s quite close relationship to the weaver birds which build similar nests in the tropics.
