Inspired by the great classical work "Lark Ascending" by Ralph Vaughan Williams, I call this photo "Woodpecker Ascending". Female downy woodpecker, composite of 4 images. Clifton, Virginia, USA 21NOV2024 #birds #BirdPhotogaphy #BirdsOfMastodon #naturephotography #Nikon #NikonZ8
A composite showing the same black and white woodpecker but in 4 different positions overlayed in a single image.  At bottom right it is perching on a branch looking up and to the left. Just to the left and up the bird is in flight with its wings at about 45 degree angles. Further up and to the left, the bird has its wings spread all the way wide, and finally, furthest to the left near the top the bird has its wings tucked all the way back against its body.


"Unveiled", Scotland's Ancient Caledonian Forest (2024).

An image from a special morning exploring fog, light, and autumnal colours in a glen filled with brilliant trees. Running around making the most of the conditions, I particularly loved the backlight on the rusty ferns here, highlighting the shift in seasons taking place.

A breathtaking landscape featuring a majestic mountain covered in snow, towering against a backdrop of a serene blue sky with fluffy white clouds. In the foreground, there is a tranquil lake reflecting the beauty of the mountain. The scene is enhanced by a scattering of trees adding a touch of green to the snowy terrain. In the distance, a rocky hill can be seen with patches of snow. This picturesque view captures the essence of nature's beauty, showcasing the harmony between the elements of earth, water, and sky in a stunning outdoor setting.


This wee bastard has taken to sitting in the bush outside our window and singing their wee heart out first thing in the morning and I love them

A wee robing perched in a bush with its head just visible over the foliage. Its beak wide open as it sings.


Cranes flying over today, probably they'll be heading north soon. Surprisingly, I think these ones were going south. #birds #birding #nature #naturephotography

Introducing New Zealand's latest Bug of the Year- the magnificent Ngāokeoke or Velvet Worm!

These amazing, ancient creatures were around long before the dinosaurs, and are taxonomically considered close relatives of Arthropods and Tardigrades. They have a unique method pf prey capture - using a pair of glue-gun organs on their heads to immobilise prey with a shower of sticky glue.

Aotearoa has two genera of velvet worms: one lays eggs (Ooperipatellus, 1st photo) and the other gives live birth (Peripatoides, 2nd). Oh, and to mate, males deposit sperm onto the skin of their partner, which then burrow through the female's skin and migrate throughout their blood to be stored in special uterine tubes until needed!

Truly remarkable creatures and well-deserving of their new title!

A Window to the Soul, Scotland (2024).

As promised, a different take on this spectacular view point overlooking the ancient Caledonian Forest. These two pines were gathering some wonderful dappled light and framing the loch beautifully — although balancing the composition wasn't without its difficulties on this very steep slope.

Two scots pine trees lean slightly outwards creating a beautiful frame through which a loch surrounded by autumn colours can be seen. Dappled light plays across the view creating moments of brilliant yellow and orange.

Ein Landschaftsbild bei Sonnenuntergang. Im Vordergrund befindet sich ein ruhiger Fluss oder See, in dem sich das Licht des Himmels spiegelt. Die Ufer sind von silhouettenhaften Bäumen gesäumt, deren Äste sich gegen den Himmel abzeichnen. Der Himmel selbst ist in warmen Farben von Orange, Gelb und Rosa getaucht, die durch die Wolken scheinen und eine friedliche, fast mystische Atmosphäre erzeugen.

#TravelThursday

On my tour of the Pelican NWR, saw these Beggar Ticks attracting butterflies. Previously treated as native plants, evidence (including DNA) is piling up that they are not. Probably just as well.

They are found in disturbed areas, such as the maintained trail I was walking on.

I hope these brighten your January day.

Close up of daisy-like flower with seven white petals that have jagged ends. The center reproductive structures are small golden knobs, some of which have opened up to small tube-like structures with brown bases. Two other similar flowers, one incomplete, are more blurry in the near background. The remaining background is blurry brown stems, sand and a few green leaves in the bottom left.


# WildlifeWednesday

Was touring the Pelican National Wildlife Refuge hours ago. This is the first NWR ever created. More upcoming in this thread.

🦋 Saw many Great Southern Whites feeding. Their caterpillars feed on Mustards, Peppergrass, Saltwort, and Sea Rocket. They are found in coastal scrub, saltwater marshes, and dunes. Unusual coloration on the body.

A white-winged butterfly with brown jagged edging on the forewing. On the black-gray body is blue 'fur' behind yellow coloration around the eyes. In the background are blurry green leaves and stems.


#ThickTrunkTuesday

An old entity has been preserved in the courtyard of the historical home site surrounding it. It has seen five flags fly over it as civilized nations fought each other, even burned the city, to colonize the area.

A large tree trunk with vertically lined gray-brown bark. Three large limbs split off at about six feet (two meters). At the bough ends visible there are patches of small green leaves. In the background is a wrought iron gate and, in the distance, an old residential building.
The end of several limbs from the same old tree as previous photo, growing top right to lower left, view looking up into the rich blue sky from underneath. Limbs are gnarled and angular, ending in tufts of small green leaves. There is Spanish moss and ferns growing on the limbs. One limb blocks the sun. On the lower left are the backs of historical buildings, one three stories tall and pink. It has two slim vertical windows on the top floor and a door and similar window on the first floor. There is a section visible of a breezeway made of stone arches. A banana plant grows nearby. There is an arched gate to the right of the pink building. The other building partially visible are white with dark roofs.
