We must have spent hours photographing these “Little Bee Eaters” next to a river. After a while I managed to get a shot of one with a bee in its beak. / / Samburu National Park – Kenya / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

I took this at a rehabilitation center in Ohio. It looks like a Burrowing Owl, but it doesn’t have yellow eyes so I assume it is a Barred.

I photographed this majestic blue heron in Point Lobos State Reserve in CA. It is fascinating to watch this bird standing on a floating log, for hours, waiting for the right moment to catch a passing fish. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- I will donate 50% of all proceeds from the sale of this image and the ones below to the American Bird Conservancy Consider these images as companions! / And the T-Shirt below

A semi-companion piece to Mama’s Hands, this shot was taken a long time before the other but it was yet another victim of the “80,000+ Combined Shots Syndrome”: so many folders, so many days, so many interruptions, so many etc. LOL! I haven’t a clue if there are tons of better shots saved in over 500GB of storage between three computers, scores of DVD’s and CD’s, flash drives, xD cards, SD cards, BFD cards… (sigh) Oh well, when I die, someone is going to have to do a LOT of deleting and/or reformatting to be able to store much more than a 12kb smilie anywhere! By the way, Papa has become very comfortable with many of the rest of my co-workers. He comes to their calls, waits for them to get MY peanuts (since they don’t think to get any), and generally asks as tho everyone is his friend now. LOL! The strange part is that almost all of the rest of Weedy Field is branching out as well: Jill allows herself to be seen by others; JJ’s kids come out and beg everyone for peanuts; and best of all, the Crows Family is learning how to trust people enough to get their peanuts before the jays snatch them all away. That’s BIG because they are still feeding their HUMONGOUS “baby” who’s too…uh, chicken to do much more than holler for dad & mom when he see’s us outside. If you ever want to see a disgusted look on a bird, check out a crow who’s trying to open a peanut (while standing over two others) to feed a kid as big as he is while fearless blue jays snatch everything in sight before he can even get a TASTE of one! Crows can actually frown somehow, like furrowing their feathers or something. Anyway, I’ve vowed to start mining my archives… next year. ;-) / __________ / Nikon D80 data~~ / F/5.6 / Exposure 1/160, / ISO-100 / 70-300 mm telephoto (handheld) / Metering: spot

Taken in Tunga/Zuga, a remote village in Nigeria. Mary is aged 12 years old and her mission is to care for her younger brother. Each day Mum and Dad work in the small field from sunrise to sunset. there is no school here and the nearest one is 4 miles away. Children are so precious and I cannot help but think of the great benefits our children have here in England and other developed countries. Please help us to help those in rural and isolated villages in Africa.

All animals displayed a silent fondness for her, and she would hide scraps of bread from her breakfast to feed to the birds. One particularly beautiful bird showed her great affection and eventually everywhere she went the bird would follow. People began to call her Lady Bird in mockery but she wasn’t at all displeased by the name. / Materials: Corel Painter

The Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) is a medium to large bird of prey, whose range covers most of Europe and extends into Asia. It is typically between 51-57 cm in length with a 110 to 130 cm (48-60 inch) wingspan, making it a medium-sized raptor. There are around 40,000 breeding pairs in Britain. It is usually resident all year except in the coldest parts of its range, and in the case of one subspecies. It breeds in woodland, usually on the fringes, but favours hunting over open land. It eats mainly small mammals, and will come to carrion. A great opportunist, it adapts well to a varied diet of pheasant, rabbit, other small mammals, snakes and lizards and can often be seen walking over recently ploughed fields looking for worms and insects. They are fiercely territorial, and, though rare, fights do break out if one strays on another pair’s territory, but dominant displays of aggression will normally see off the interloper. Pairs mate for life. To attract a mate (or impress his existing mate) the male performs a ritual aerial display before the beginning of Spring. This spectacular display is known as ‘the roller coaster’. He will rise high up in the sky, to turn and plummet downward, in a spiral, twisting and turning as he comes down. To then rise immediately upward to repeat the exercise. This broad-winged raptor has a wide variety of plumages, and in Europe can be confused with the similar Rough-legged Buzzard (Buteo lagopus) and the only distantly related Honey Buzzard (Pernis apivorus), which mimics the Common Buzzard’s plumage for a degree of protection from Goshawks. The plumage can vary in Britain from almost pure white to black, but is usually shades of brown, with a pale ‘necklace’ of feathers. The call is a plaintive peea-ay, similar to a cat’s meow.

PLEASE READ THIS. TAKEN IN NATURAL LIGHT I am an Irish born missionary and founder of Philadelphia Mission a British Charity. My passion in life is to reach as many children living in extreme poverty with practical tools and help to live healthy and productive like. My inspiration and motivation is from God adn his great love for the poor and outcast. This is a NARI-KOV-AVARS Gypsy girl. I took this Photograph while ministering in a Gypsy camp just outside Chennai in Tamil Nadu State. India. She was following me and the team as we went through the settlement. I was battling 40c heat and drinking bottled water a lot. One of the gypsy pastors shouted at her to be quiet, which really upset me. I asked him why he was shouting at her and what she had said. He told me she was begging and wanted water, adn he told her off. I knelt down and looked at her deeply in her eyes, and ask my interpreter to tell her, i would like to give her a bottle of water. I had several in by backpack. AS I handed her the water, Pastor Alwin took this Photograph with my camera, as I was talking with her. he was right behind me. So the expression on her face is what I would have seen. There is no clean water in the gypsy camp, and water is very scarce now that its dry summer. What really touched my heart was that she went and called her older sister and shared the water with her. These gypsies are treated adn called outcasts, because they are under Hindu Religion classed as such. They are beaten cheated and often chased from towns and villages. No one in this campo went to school, as they had no money for school fees. there is no medical care and no toilets anywhere in the camp. Neglected by locals and government alike. We and THE INDIA NEW LIFE GYPSY MISSION CHURCH are the only ones now helping the 4000000 NARI-KOV-ARARS gypsies. There are a total of 40.000000 gypsies in India, and almost all get help, except the NARI-KOV-AVARS tribe. We need your Prayers and Help. ALL PROCEEDS FROM SALE OF MY INDIA ART, OR DONATIONS MADE VIA OUR CHARITY WEBSITE GOES TO HELP EXTREME POOR IN REMOTE AND RURAL AFRICA AND INDIA. Camera: Canon EOS400D. Lens: Canon EF70-300 IS USM.

PLEASE READ THIS. Taken in a Gypsy settlement close to Kallakurachi. India. Some of you will know me through my Writings and photographs of Extreme poor in Remote and Rural villages in Africa, and correspondence here on RB. God called me in 1994 to go and share his Message with the poor, disadvantaged and outcast, I have with great passion and little Financial support being doing what he has commissioned me to do. [My Passion in life is to reach as many poor and disadvantaged in Remote and rural villages with the Gospel of Jesus, and provide practical help and care]. I have with the help, Prayers and support of precious people worldwide been able to not only share Gods message of salvation, but provide Tools, Clothing, Bibles, Some School fees, Seeds, Medicines and other needful things to empower them to live better lives. Recently here on RB in the past two years, God has blessed me with many new precious friends. I thank God for you all. In Uganda during 2001-2003, God used me to expose Children being sold by extremely desperate and poor families, to those who had money and who they thought would give their child a better life. I detest this, yet in most cases, not all, the parents or carers could no longer provide for the child. With their government unable, or unwilling to help, they look to those outside their community and tribe for an answer. In India where I and the Philadelphia Charity are now working with NARI-KOR-AVARS gypsy tribe, I came across several cases of children for sale. I personally have been offered children. One for sale and one to take home to Britain and care for her. The reason why I am sharing this with you is that the above Photograph is of one such child. Some of you will experience feelings of Unbelief that this happens, and others strong emotions of anger and disgust. I am asking you to have a thought for the Mother of this child and pray for her. In extreme poverty, Outcast from Society and treated lower than a dog, almost everywhere she goes. She has tried her very best to provide food and shelter. She is sick in body and wept genuine tears of sorrow, as she asked me buy her child for for 5000 Rupees = $100. Please help us to help these precious parents and carers with tools, seeds, Clothing, income, practical help, so tey never be in the position of giving away or selling their child as a last resort to saving that child and giving it a better future. This is happening not just in India or Africa, but in other countries also. Some sell their children purely for selfish gains. But I have not yet met any. those I met are heartbroken and doing something that must be unthinkable to any of us . 100% of all money raised from sale of any of my art, or donations made via our charity website goes to help extreme poor in Africa and India. PLEASE STATE IF YOU MAKE A DONATION VIA BMAIL, IF YOU WANT YOUR DONATION TO GO TO INDIAN GYPSIES AID OR TO EXTREME POOR IN AFRICA.
