'Scotland’s tired landscapes declared hidden ardour in the sun. Brown became bronze, yellow turned to gold, and rust to shining copper.'

A colour photo of a woodland. The trees have lost most of their leaves and the sea of bracken is dying back but in the sun the colours are so vibrant.

The black and white photo illustrates the formation of the so-called Brocken spectrum, as seen from behind the cloud on which it is formed. A figure can also be seen casting a shadow on the cloud.

We have a pair of jays busying themselves in the garden. They’re enjoying the easy meal of fat balls in the feeders, but are also retrieving acorns that they’d buried in the lawn a few months ago. They must have good memories. Fascinating to watch.

#Birds #Nature
Photo of an Eurasian jay, with its distinctive blue shoulder patch, hopping about on a leaf-scattered grass lawn. It has its head tilted to one side and is peering intently at the ground, having moved a few leaves around.
Slightly blurred photo of same jay a few moments later. It has turned slightly away from the camera and is now grasping a brown acorn in its stout black bill. A few seconds before it had drilled into the lawn to pull the acorn out of its hiding place.

I submitted the manuscript for my next book!

It's a collection of folktales about misunderstood / underappreciated animals. Bats, sharks, wolves, rats, spiders, etc. I managed to find cool stories for each, and in every one of them the animal is portrayed in a positive light.

It was one heck of a research project, and I really enjoyed it 😄

Moin, ihr Lieben! 👋 ☕ Es ist #Sonntag, und das Wetter zeigt sich heute von seiner grauen Seite. Doch lasst euch davon nicht die Laune verderben – die liegt ganz in unseren Händen!

Es gibt so viele kleine Dinge, die uns glücklich machen können: ein gutes Buch, ein gemütliches Treffen mit Freunden, ein Spaziergang in der Natur... Selbst der Herbstnebel hat seinen eigenen Zauber, wenn man genau hinsieht. 🌫🍂

Also, lasst uns den Tag genießen, lachen und die schönen Momente im Alltag schätzen. Denn Lachen ist nicht nur gut für die Seele, sondern auch für das Immunsystem. Bleibt positiv und macht euch einen wunderbaren Sonntag!🤗 🍀

I used to swim here often, but the parking is now atrocious.

A beautiful piece of street art by Hannah Bullen-Ryner.

#Birbs #StreetArt #Nature
A piece of street art made from feathers, coloured stones and sticks. It shows three birds - two warblers and a golden-crowned kinglet, coloured with feathers. Each is perching on a stick, against a circle made of tiny pebbles in numerous shades of blue and purple.

"In some corner of the sunless sea, passing through waters cold and dark enough to keep us at bay, there moves a beauty and a strangeness that rivals the unicorn."

there is music somewhere playing

Sick cockatoo sightings spark psittacine beak and feather disease warning

Avian experts warn people not to feed birds amid a highly contagious and incurable virus that causes feather loss and beak deformities, ultimately resulting in a "long, slow death".

Morning 👋🥰

"Earth may be alive, not as the ancients saw her - a sentient goddess with a purpose and foresight - but alive like a tree. A tree that quietly exists, never moving except to sway in the wind, yet endlessly conversing with the sunlight and the soil, using sunlight and water and nutrient minerals to grow and change, but all done so imperceptibly that to me the old oak tree on the green is the same as it was when I was a child."

~ James Lovelock

Birdfeeder Raider

Here is an eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) doing its best to maintain balance while eating at a bird feeder.

I don't post all of the photos that I post here to my Pixels gallery, but I post the photos I like best. Some don't make the cut. I usually wait a couple of days and see how I feel about it then.

You can check out my gallery at:

"The image shows a squirrel raiding a bird feeder. The squirrel is perched on top of the bird feeder, which is filled with seeds. It's gripping the metal hanger of the feeder with its front paws and appears to be eating or trying to access the seeds inside. The bird feeder is a cylindrical mesh container with a metal lid and base. The background is a white wall, and there is a watermark on the right side of the image that reads "© Swede's Photographs." This image captures a common but amusing scenario where a squirrel, known for its agility and resourcefulness, is accessing food meant for birds. It highlights the adaptability and cleverness of squirrels in finding food sources." - Copilot

Sparrow and Blue Sky

This is a chipping sparrow (Spizella passerina) one of the species that I photograph the most.

I've had several inquiries about how to get a print of some my photographs. This is a hobby for me, so I haven't been equipped to handle those requests. But I enjoy what I'm doing and want to share my photographs.

So, I set up an account and website with pixels. My website is:

swede1952-photographs.pixels.com

If you want a print of one of my photographs, you can get it there, If I haven't loaded it, let me know which one it is, and I'll gladly load it there for you.

"The image shows a sparrow perched on a tree branch. The bird has a light brown and white plumage with a distinctive reddish-brown streak on its head. The background is a clear blue sky, and the branches of the tree are visible around the bird. The bird appears to be calmly resting on the branch, and the photograph captures the details of its feathers and the texture of the tree bark. The image is interesting because it highlights the natural beauty of the bird and its surroundings, showcasing a moment of tranquility in nature. The photograph is signed with "© Swede's Photographs" in the bottom right corner." - Copilot

Roadside flying duck north of Mallacoota, VIC. Still only finding the occasional scattered large duck orchid (Caleana major) in locations between Genoa & Mallacoota where there are usually larger colonies. Might just be a bit dry this spring to see a lot up and out.

Sharing a few favorites of mine before my December social media break.

I had a nice little photoshoot with this green anole at a local wetland area.

The green anole (scientific name: Anolis carolinensis) is a species of reptile found in areas of Tennessee, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and the Carolinas. In fact, it’s the only kind of anole that is native to the United States.
