Mr Robin displaying for the girls. One was interested and was replying in response to his calling, bobbing & weaving activities. I was able to get about 30 images before I reluctantly left this Romeo serenading his Juliet. It was very difficult selecting one to share. / Will there be wedding bells and the patter of tiny footsteps? / 090608 / SH9 crop g- / 090608 This sky where we live / Is no place to lose your wings. / So love, love, love. / Hafiz حافظ Human beings are members of a whole, / In creation of one essence and soul. / If one member is afflicted with pain, / Other members uneasy will remain. / If you have no sympathy for human pain, / The name of human you cannot retain. / Saadi “Of one Essence is the human race, / thus has Creation put the base; / One Limb impacted is sufficient / For all Others to feel the Mace ” / —Saadi (1184–1283) “There is only one sacred manuscript, the sacred manuscript of Nature, which alone can enlighten the reader.” Hazrat Inayat Khan All profits from my sales will be donated to Butterfly Conservation.

A very close up of my resident Robin. If you look close, you can see my reflection in the catchlight in his eye. Meryy Christmas and a Happy New Year, Thanks for looking, Nick Camera used was a Canon EOS 400d and a Sigma 70-300mm DG APO lens, / tripod mounted.
.... seems like we Brits are undergoing Robin-fever at the moment, and why not! Lets all celebrate our national favourite bird!!! Small is beautiful!!! Background removed. Canon EOS 50D with Canon EF 400mm L f/5.6 handheld.
A little robin snowbound in my garden in Buckinghamshire, England.

“Show me your garden and I shall tell you what you are.” ~ ALFRED AUSTIN This is my Secret Garden. My work of the last 2 years has culminated at this point. This piece is so very complex, but I will try to explain it to you. This is me. I am from the earth, of the earth, striving to save the earth. She is me, I am her. I live in the country on Kangaroo Island (Australia), surrounded by nature. I have wild kangaroos in my front yard every night, koalas in my trees, and my son Henley and I walk every day, and celebrate the amazing place we live. This nature has engulfed my being. On average, I have been taking about 100 images with my Canon PowerShot camera every single day for the past two years. Macro bugs, macro wildflowers, skies, dead trees, birds, flowers, shells, leaves, images from my orchard, burnt trees from the bushfires, dried up drought-affected dam bases, kangaroos, and of course, my son Henley. So many images have gone into this one piece. There are two worlds here. The abundant and thriving; and the dying, the gone forever. Our house was surrounded by devastating bushfires in Dec 2007 – a time I will never forget. Nothing but smoke could be seen out the windows. This land is vulnerable and changing for the worse every year as a result of Global Warming. It is an issue so very close to my heart because it is on my doorstep. What will this world be like for my child and all the children of now? Famine, drought, heat waves, extreme weather patterns and natural catastrophes, massive bushfires, more war, no jobs, no money, more disease, more animals extinct forever, less trees and rainforests, less farmers, less food. We are seeing it now. Something has to be done. My forehead shows a migraine I recently had during a heatwave. It felt like a penetrating light was entering my eye and illuminating half of my brain before exiting at the base of my skull where the vision centre of the brain is. It was very powerful to me. Vision. Have the vision before the world dies. Mother Earth is dying, as is half of me. What are you doing to help the earth survive? It’s up to our generation, or there will be nothing left. Your thoughts on this topic are most welcome….

Some of you will know that I’ve been following the progress of these little robins since I spotted the eggs in a nest in our garden shed. And I’ve been stalking them since, much to the bemusement of their mum who I keep disturbing… They are now at the stage that they ask for food whenever they hear any noise which they think might be bringing food… [Sony a350, Sigma 105mm, flash, f:6.3, 1/125, ISO-100, Converted from RAW) Also in the series… Just before taking off alone… / The eggs in the nest / The mum keeping the eggs warm /

Early morning light cast a yellow hue across the lawn and thus I grabbed the camera and snap, snap, snap.
This is another small garden of mine with a tree stump for the core of it with a birdbath dish resting on top. What you see here is what I see without the effects outside my window where I sit daily on the computer.

Watercolour with touch of acrylic on Arches watercolour paper. The joy of Christmas is near and this painting depicts a winter wonderland with a pretty robin enjoying the countryside bathed in snow. Christmas Snow The land is covered in a blanket of snow / this time of the year is special we know. / A robin sits in a tree so high / A splash of colour against the sky. / The flakes fall down and settle to rest / Christmas is near, snow is at its best.

American Robins feed on a mixture of both wild and cultivated fruits, berries, earthworms, and insects such as beetle grubs, caterpillars, and grasshoppers. Robins are flexible and will turn to whichever food is most readily accessible, although the diet generally consists of approximately 40% invertebrates, 60% fruits and berries. / The bird shown is one of a flock of Robins who have been feeding daily on Holly Tree Berries. This is common during the winter months when earth worms are not readily available due to penetrating deeper underground when the ground is often frozen. The winter sun was low in the sky and the light was quickly diminishing when I took this last shot before packing up my camera gear for the day. American Robins are song birds belonging to the Thrush family of birds. Their song is a series of musical whistles sounding like “cheerily, cheeriup, cheerio, cheeriup”. To me their songs are one of the most beautiful! Description 23-28 cm ( 9-11”). Gray on back and brick red underside. Head and tail darker in males and dull gray in females. Young birds are spotted on underside. American robins are native to the Nearctic region. They range year-round in southern Canada from Newfoundland to British Columbia, throughout most of the United States and along the Sierra Madre into southern Mexico. Robins migrate south for the winter, going as far as southern Mexico and Guatemala. In the summer they are found as far north as northern most Canada and Alaska. American robins are the most abundant and widespread North American thrush. “PHOTO INFORMATION” Photo taken on Jan 2/10 at 2:26pm on south east Vancouver Island, B.C., Canada in own back yard. / Camera; Canon 40D / Lens; Canon Ef 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM Lens. / Tripod; Manfrotto and joystick head. / Subject distance; 7.4 meters ( 24.3 ft) at 400 mm, / 1/800, f/7.1, man col bal, iso 800. / No cropping.
