The Kefalonian Leaf Hoover, an ingenious indigenous woody reptile that re-cycles aging material and composts it - without too many bio after-hazards - is a marvel to encounter. Reasonably sound-suppressed in operation, apart from a noticeable slurping from it's discreet mouthparts, this somewhat shy creature occasionally gets a kink and lump of matter lodged in the back of it's neck, but like a Heron swallowing a big fish, manages to digest, rest, and move on.
We have not had any snow this season (at least by me), and it does not look like we will get it any time soon.
Reaching the end of its 300 year life, sadly this Bur Oak could not continue to thrive. Cantigny claims this is due to climate change, continuing droughts, and gypsy moth larvae damage.
Life Span: Bur oak, as with many oaks, is a very long-lived tree. The average life span is between 200 and 400 years.
I was in the Botanic Gardens in Brooklyn, New York today and saw something I've never seen. 2 Falcons. This is 1 of them. They both kept playing with a tree branch that had fallen on the ground. Despite tons of people looking on they kept playing.
Spider webs remind me of crocheted doilies that my granny used to make.
Thanking you in advance for any visits, comments or faves as I may not always get back to you in a timely fashion. Just know they are all appreciated.
In March I had an opportunity to visit my sister in Victoria, Texas. While visiting we toured many areas where I was able to get a photo shoot in. On this day we stayed in Victoria and traveled to the outskirts where this lazy river was flowing. Right on that river bank was a bar and grill where we relaxed with a Martini and shrimp. Such a nice view from their outdoor deck! Some of the views are abstract with many reflections. I will be uploading each place separately as I get them ready to view.

is probably about as mad as it gets, but a good ten mile walk and quality time in nature is time well spent ...
I always arrive home feeling lighter, more peaceful
I suppose this image is going to be a little more personal than most. This tree branch, had me thinking of the reconstructive surgery recently performed on my hand. Just as I did, some will discover later in life that their fingers begin to curl inward. This is because the newly forming facia growing around the tendons, begins to pull on them which in turn, continues to curl the fingers inward.
The cause can be a very cool story to tell, although the result is debilitating. 1,000 years ago as Vikings would hold their axe and shield in the cold, their hands would keep that form. After millennia, it became part of their DNA. Then as marauders pillaging the land, they left that DNA behind. The syndrome is passed on through your father and continues to confound the medical community today. A surgical procedure becomes necessary to help remove the facia and somewhat straighten the fingers. However, it is a temporary solution as the facia will return.
For me, it's a bit too soon to tell whether this young Northern Cardinal is a female or a male. I'm guessing male, but it will be easier to be sure in a few weeks, as the bird's colours mature.

......and it rains and stops and rains and stops and then another week of rain to follow .... so the Lensbaby crawled out of the closet and on to the Nikon D300 and headed toward the maple tree for a macro attempt

Back in March, on one of my too infrequent trips to the beach, I found this sea monster.
I watched him for a while and he seemed to be having a serious discussion with a driftwood tree stump, but that finished suddenly when a dirt bike went passed and he took off chasing it.
Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to get photos of that ;-P
(I've just added a couple of 'normal' shots of the Serious Sea Monster into the comments)

One of my earliest attempts (1999) at digital art from scanned 35 mm negative film photographs. I rendered this in post processing and made it into a greeting card.
Juvenile barred owl (Strix varia, Strigidae)
The tree branch is of a golden rain tree (Koelreuteria paniculata, Sapindaceae), an Asian tree that is naturalized and invasive in Florida.
The original images were captured in DeLand, Florida.
The juvenile owl had recently emerged from a cavity nest in a large diamond leaf oak tree (Quercus laurifolia, Fagaceae) in my yard in Florida.

In the early morning, a capuchin monkey (Cebus imitator), sits high in a tree, eating fruit, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. From the shape of the leaves it looks like it could be a mango tree.

Iguanas can range from 5 to 6 feet including their tail. The two species of lizard within the genus Iguana possess a dewlap, a row of spines running down their backs to their tails, and a tiny "third eye" on their heads. This light-sensing organ is known as the parietal eye, visible as a pale scale on the top of the head, and cannot make out details, just brightness. Behind their necks are small scales which resemble spokes, known as tuberculate scales. These scales may be a variety of colors and are not always visible from close distances. They have a large round scale on their cheeks known as a subtympanic shield. Their diet consists of mostly vegetation.
Iguanas have great vision and can see shapes, shadows, colors, and movement at long distances. Iguanas use their eyes to navigate through crowded forests, as well as for finding food. They use visual signals to communicate with other members of the same species.
The tympanum, the iguana's ear drum, is located above the subtympanic shield and behind the eye. Iguanas are often hard to spot, as they tend to blend into their surroundings. Their scale colors are a mode of hiding from larger predators
