A black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) finds this Pacific coast red elderberry (Sambucus callicarpa) a tasty snack. The bright red berry at the beak-tip is reminiscent of a clown, or Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. Reifel Bird Sanctuary, BC.

Despite increasing clouds from an approaching storm, this blue-eyed darner (Rhionaeschna multicolor) tried to sun itself in vain. Rain would arrive in a few hours, with falling temperature. This pose made for many great shots of which this is one.

A black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) has found a tasty cluster of elderberries and enthusiastically carries a morsel in its beak. A moment later, this avian flitted to a nearby branch and tore into the tasty fruit. Canon Rebel XSi / Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM / 1/200, f/4, 0.0, ISO 640, 200mm, hand held

Pacific madrones (Arbutus menziesii), or just “Arbutus”, are easily identified by their distinct, thin, peeling red bark. The frequent onslaught of wet-season gales along the Lighthouse Park headlands often sculpts individuals into curved, or flagged, forms. Here the trunks of deceased and living specimens lean in the same direction, away from the prevailing high wind direction.

This black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) flitted among the branches of elderberry trees with incredible agility. These birds have a deep familiarity with their airy three-dimensional world of the forest canopy and shrub understory, with the ability to turn mid-air at a moment’s notice and dart down a narrow branchy corridor. The bird in the photo appeared to be scanning for possible flyways on its quest for that next meal.

This European holly (Ilex aquifolium) had an abundance of bright red drupes. This is one of many fruiting trees at the Reifel Bird Sanctuary, BC. The fruits are rather bitter, and birds generally wait until the cold depths of winter, after temperature excursions below freezing have softened the flesh, before consuming the showy spheroids.

This view is from the Reifel Bird Sanctuary, BC, located in the Fraser River Delta region of British Columbia.

Despite increasing clouds from an approaching storm, this blue-eyed darner (Rhionaeschna multicolor) tried to sun itself in vain. Rain would arrive in a few hours, with falling temperature. The insect dragon probably waited out the rain under the broad, sheltering leaves. Vancouver, BC, 16 Jun 2009. Canon Rebel XSi (450D) / Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM / 1/200, f/5.6, 0.0, ISO 400, 200mm, hand held A version of this dragonfly image in 2×3 format is also available in my gallery.

May is often a good time to find a variety of rhododendrons abloom throughout the city of Vancouver, BC. These evergreen woody shrubs sometimes attain the size of small trees, and provide quality habitat for many birds and insects in the region. The genus Rhododendron, of Greek roots, suggests the idea of “rose tree.” Canon Rebel XSi / Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS / 1/60, f/6.3, -1/3, ISO 200, 39mm, hand held

A Lotus Flower: In the Summer Palace Beijing, China The Summer Palace or Yi he, in Beijing, China / (Traditional Chinese: 頤和園; simplified Chinese: 颐和园; pinyin: Yíhé Yuán; literally; Gardens of Nurtured Harmony) Nelumbo is a genus of aquatic plants with large, showy, water lily-like flowers commonly known as lotus or sacred lotus. The generic name is derived from the Sinhalese word Nelum. There are two species in the genus, the better known of which, N. nucifera, or "Sacred Lotus," is the well-known national flower of India. Padma (nelumblum speciosum), the sacred lotus, is an aquatic plant that plays a central role in Indian religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. The lotus and lotus flower is an ancient polyvalent symbol. The lotus flower is one of the Vajrayana Ashtamangala. It is representative of creation and cosmic renewal and shares in the chakra and mandala symbolism of the Dharmachakra. It also represents purity as its flowers grow on long stalks, which are rooted in the mud. It is also symbolic of detachment as drops of water easily slide off its petals. According to Sanatana Dharma, Padma (the deity and lotus), springs from the navel of Vishnu whilst he is in Yoga Nidra upon Ananta Shesha. The lotus blooms uncovering Brahma in padmasana.[1] The Padma is held to be a flower with a thousand petals and is therefore associated with the Sahasrara and indeed all the chakra. The padma appears as an endemic dais upon which deities rest and indeed upon which Indian iconography is founded. A number of divine figures are associated with the Padma, including Kubera and Lakshmi. The lotus in both Egypt and India symbolizes the union of the four elements; earth, air, fire, and water. The roots are in the earth, it grows in and by means of water, its leaves are nourished by air, and it blooms through the power of the sun’s fire. The lotus is therefore the perfection of the fourfold order of the natural world. The growth of a new flower directly from the earth-bound original (inflorescent proliferation) may be interpreted as a symbol of transcendence as found in Indian philoshophy: a spiritual emergence of a higher world directly from our physical manifestation. It may also be interpreted, as in Egypt, as the exaltation of the essence quality of the lotus.
