Even small living things have there place. This pond bog was so full of growing life. The water was fresh and the wind and air made me stop to get a closer look.

Not many pictures from me recently as work is manic at the moment and my ME is ‘troublesome’ but, just to keep things ticking over, here is another from our Shetland holiday in May. / This is one of the many peat cuttings on the island of Yell. I always look at tpeat cuttings and hope that one day I will get the photograph I want to capture these places. I have a long way to go before I please myself but this is closer than most! The photograph has been adjusted in Nikon Capture NX2 to bring out the details and then, in CS3, a gradient map has been hard mixed with this ‘original’ to create this effect. Thanks for looking and apologies to all of you who have been uploading photographs that I haven’t managed to get round to looking through.

Another shot of one of the wrecks that lie well wrecked at Fleetwood marsh nature reserve on the river wyre estuary in lancashire.. / Given this HDR an orton effect but have used the linear dodge blending mode as opposed to the multiply blending mode so not really sure as if to call this an orton effect shot but I like it… / shot with a Nikon D70s and 18-70mm lens /

This is the where the current reflects off objects in the stream, and creates the dance of light and sound. / And there, / just below the surface, / a fallen leaf waits patiently, / taking a little respite from its journey down stream. Soon enough, the water will shift again, and an upward current will likely bring it back to the surface. / Soon enough – but until then – it is art. / We call it art, / nay, / together, / we make it art. / But of course, first we must notice … “The moment one gives close attention to any thing, / even a blade of grass / it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.”—Henry Miller And what of it? / Well, listen closely. / Can you hear the notes … / the melody? / I can. / So soothing, / so moving. / As you lean back and soak up the afternoon sun, / smell the pine bows, / feel the damp soil with your hands, and smile. / Something connects. / Nothing else to do. / Nowhere else to be. / This is where you belong, right here, right now. / What of it, indeed … It’s waiting for you, / just below the surface of our work-a-day world. / There, / just below the surface, / where you are protected from the current that is trying to sweep you along, / to jostle for your attention, / to whisk your day away, / in the never ending lists, and the stuff that must be done. Listen again, more closely. / Isn’t that your song? / Don’t you recognize it? / It is in us all, somewhere deep within … / “To live content with small means; / to seek elegance rather than luxury, / and refinement rather than fashion; / to be worthy, not respectable, / and wealthy, not, rich; / to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, / with open heart; / to study hard; / to think quietly, / act frankly, / talk gently, / await occasions, / hurry never; / in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common ~ This is my symphony.” ~ by William Henry Channing

Mountain bog on the Blue RIdge Parkway near Linville, North Carolina. This photo was taken late in the afternoon. When I started photographing it was very dark and foggy. It began raining and the camera got wet. I was getting ready to drive away but then the fog began to lift and the sun almost came out. I hopped out of the car and took a few more pictures. About 10 minutes later the dark skies, fog, and rain reappeared. Nikon D50 / The photo shown below, “A Hint of Red” was taken of the same bog but in early Fall. / / !

Marsh and part of the Cook Inlet, looking east toward the Chugach range and Kenai mountains on a recent quiet evening. Light has begun to last well into the wee hours – we don’t truly see dark skies in our sudden leap over spring into summer light.

Featured in All Countries ~ Wetlands, Ponds, Lakes and Rivers Looking for butterflies in a bog on Vancouver Island on Canada’s west coast, I found this frog, but few butterflies. I was excited, because the local frogs are small and hard to find. This image is just about exactly what I saw when I looked down into the pond. The green “stew” is rich plant life. The frog, who didn’t move at all throughout my shoot, must have “thought” she was totally camouflaged. I took many shots, and felt happy for my first image of a west coast frog. Frogs are the modern “canaries in the coal mine”, and so far the data is not good, as frogs continue to decline in numbers. Enjoy this image in a larger view, and send me a comment. Nikon D2Xs, Sigma 150 macro lens, ISO 320, f8, 1/160s. This is what I learned online: The Red-legged Frog is a medium sized brown or reddish frog, with smooth skin marked by small black “freckles.” Male frogs reach about 7 centimetres in length and females can be larger – about 10 cm long. The Red-legged Frog is fairly slim and has long, slender hind legs and prominent dorsolateral folds running from behind their eyes down the sides of the back. They usually have a dark mask, and a light upper jaw stripe running back to the shoulder. The most distinctive trait of these frogs, and the one that gave them their name, is the red colouring of the underside of their hind legs. This is sometimes described as being translucent – as though you are looking right through the skin to see the red muscle underneath. The eyes are gold, oriented to the sides, and appear mostly covered by the eyelids when the frog is viewed from above. This can help distinguish the Red-legged Frog from the Columbia or Oregon Spotted Frogs, whose eyes are oriented upwards. It can be tricky to tell Red-legged and Spotted frogs apart, even for experts, but by looking at the eyes, the skin and the toe webbing, you can be fairly sure of your identification. Spotted Frogs have rougher skin and more webbing between their toes than the Red-legged Frog. Spotted Frogs also do not have the translucent quality to the red wash on the hind legs; rather, their skin appears mottled and the colour almost painted on. Red-legged Frogs and Spotted Frogs have only a small overlap of their ranges in B.C., so it’s fairly likely that you could make an identification based on location alone. Home Sweet Home Red-legged Frogs enjoy the cool temperatures of the coastal forests. They live in moist forests and wetlands with trees, breeding in shallow ponds or slow streams that are well shaded. Adult frogs spend much of their time on land, sometimes straying quite a distance from the water if the weather is damp. They will often take shelter under logs or other debris to stay cool and damp. This is the Life Red-legged Frogs begin to mate and lay their eggs very early in spring – as early as January or February in coastal areas. They prefer shallow, slow-moving streams, ponds or marshes for breeding. Male Red-legged Frogs behave like males of other species in that they call to attract females, but they call from an unusual location – up to a metre underwater. The call is not at all loud, low-pitched, and is sometimes described as a stuttering noise. Females lay eggs in large, jelly-like clusters of 750-1300, attaching the clusters loosely to stems of aquatic plants just below the surface. Embryos develop and hatch in about four weeks, then spend four to five months in the tadpole stage. Tadpoles metamorphose into tiny hopping froglets, only a couple of centimetres long, in midsummer. Red-legged Frogs are thought to take three or four years to become sexually What’s on the Menu? Adult Red-legged Frogs feed happily on insects and other small invertebrates, which they hunt along the edges of streams and ponds. Tadpoles graze on algae. Where and When Red-legged Frogs are often found in damp wooded areas, but are very shy and will leap away swiftly if they feel threatened. During the breeding season (winter to early spring) they may be found in ponds and streams, but the breeding season lasts only a week or two at each site. This frog has a limited range in B.C., being found only in the southwestern part of the province: on the mainland coast, in the Fraser Valley, on Vancouver Island, and on some of the smaller coastal islands. The range extends southward as far south as California. How Are They Doing? Red-legged Frogs have declined in some parts of their range due to habitat degradation and loss from agriculture, urban development and forestry. Competition from introduced Green Frogs, Bullfrogs and predatory fish is also a factor. Red-legged Frogs are nationally listed as Special Concern by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) and they are on the provincial Blue List. A subspecies of Red-legged Frogs, the California Red-legged Frog, was recently listed as Threatened by the state of California, for similar reasons. How We’re Helping Under the Identified Wildlife Management Strategy of the Forest Practices Code, Wildlife Habitat Areas can be established for important breeding habitats. Scientists are studying the effects of forestry practices on Red-legged Frogs. Red-legged Frogs are protected under the British Columbia / Wildlife Act. How You Can Help You can help by learning more about these frogs and their habitat requirements, and teaching others about them. You can find out more about ways to protect wetlands through programs such as Naturescape, Wetlandkeepers, and Wild BC. Be an ambassador for the frogs in council meetings and other planning meetings! You can also help biologists learn more about the range, distribution and habits of these and other amphibians by joining BC Frogwatch and observing the frog populations near you. No Kidding!

Today (10th July 2009) I went out with fellow Red Bubblers Steve Liptrott and ShaunW on a wander around Tarn Hows in the English Lake District. We found a lovely marshy area full of Bog Asphodel, a lovely yellow flower, and my terrier Tarn loved it. So did Steve who took This shot of her. I can’t work out why she readily poses for him and anyone else, and when I take a shot, she looks away!! / Sony Alpha 350 DSLR single RAW tonemapped in Photomatix / Featured in European Everday Life July 2009 /

I love rainy, overcast, windy days. Someone has to, I suppose. The pink/purple of the fireweed has yet to reach its full splendor. As Alaskan legend has it, when fireweed blooms all the way to the top of its spire – the six-week countdown to winter begins. Some of us can hardly wait. It felt great to get out in the elements!
