Cattle egret-Bubulcus ibis
Cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis) and Little egret (Egretta garzetta)
The cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis) is a cosmopolitan species of heron (family Ardeidae) found in the tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zones. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Bubulcus, although some authorities regard two of its subspecies as full species, the western cattle egret and the eastern cattle egret. Despite the similarities in plumage to the egrets of the genus Egretta, it is more closely related to the herons of Ardea. Originally native to parts of Asia, Africa and Europe, it has undergone a rapid expansion in its distribution and successfully colonised much of the rest of the world in the last century.
It is a white bird adorned with buff plumes in the breeding season. It nests in colonies, usually near bodies of water and often with other wading birds. The nest is a platform of sticks in trees or shrubs. Cattle egrets exploit drier and open habitats more than other heron species. Their feeding habitats include seasonally inundated grasslands, pastures, farmlands, wetlands and rice paddies. They often accompany cattle or other large mammals, catching insect and small vertebrate prey disturbed by these animals. Some populations of the cattle egret are migratory and others show post-breeding dispersal.
The adult cattle egret has few predators, but birds or mammals may raid its nests, and chicks may be lost to starvation, calcium deficiency or disturbance from other large birds. This species maintains a special relationship with cattle, which extends to other large grazing mammals; wider human farming is believed to be a major cause of their suddenly expanded range. The cattle egret removes ticks and flies from cattle and consumes them. This benefits both species, but it has been implicated in the spread of tick-borne animal diseases.

This big, fat dike has a weird bend in it that looks a little like folded rock. But if you look at the sedimentary strata, it's all perfectly horizontal. To me, what's very cool, is that there's a lighter colored baked zone where all that hot magma cooked the sedimentary rock. I'm not entirely sure what it did to the rock, but it obviously did something. Altered clays? Liberated iron oxide?

This picture is what it feels like to be in my comfort zone....my bubble. There is a soothing silence and i can feel myself regain my strength, lost from doing too much, feeling too much...and too deeply. My comfort zone is where i can (and often do) nurture myself and my spirit. I am alone. I am NOT lonely.
I am retreating to my comfort zone tonight with my book, and try to regain some energy from the 8;5 hour drive home from NC yesterday. I did most of the driving, until the relentless pounding of the rain and the vision impairing fog took it’s toll on my head, and i asked to be relieved of the driver duties. The ride should have taken 7,5 hours and given the crummy driving conditions and a brief stop for a late lunch, and to feed the cat ( we had to have him with us on this trip due to his meds and SubQ treatments, and his every few hour feedings). we made decent time. After cleaning out the car of all the luggage and such, and tidying up, i went to bed, to be awakened at 2:30am by the cat for another feeding....
so off i go now...feeding him again and heading for my comfort zone....i hope!

Artwork, 180x135 cm, called "Comfort Zone", made in 2010 by Erik Johansson. Erik does not use any AI-generated or computer-generated elements in his images - only complex combinations of photographs he has taken himself. Each image is a carefully crafted puzzle, built from hundreds of his photographs. He creates scenes that feel both dreamily impossible and strangely real - surreal.

This mountain ridge was part of the direct blast zone from when Mt St Helens erupted. All the trees within miles were knocked flat, laying down like match sticks, with some of these trees protected by the ridge still partially standing.

Now that the snow has also arrived in middle of Scandinavia, the urge to get out and take pictures is even greater. Unfortunately, only gray weather so far.
Did a print test with just snow, lasted all afternoon. Either it turns out too white without structure or it turns out too gray.
Tried both Ilford Multigrad and Foma Multigrad and my feeling is that the Foma paper handles highlights better.
The picture may be too bright but I have to blame my wife, she thinks it's good :-)
This is the best with analog photography, to care about just one neg.

I just took this a few minutes ago. I was outside and saw the Red-tail, and of course ran back in for the camera. Maybe lucky, but I sure am happy with the result!
