aka Teensy’s cousin over the pond! This is a Great Tit chick, which by pure fluke I saw hopping around the tree outside my window, waiting for mum to return with some goodies. Looks like he needs a bath. Bailey’s Birdie Bistro does provide bathing as well as restaurant facilities for our wild birds and squirrels.

The Great Grey Owl rivals the Eurasian Eagle Owl and the Blakiston’s Fish Owl as the world’s largest owl. They breed in North America from Lake Superior to the Pacific coast and Alaska, and from Scandinavia across northern Asia. They are permanent residents, but may move south and southeast when food is scarce. These birds wait, listen and watch for prey, then swoop down; they also may fly low through open areas in search of prey. Their large facial disks focus sound, and the asymmetrical placement of their ears assists them in locating prey. They have excellent hearing, and may capture prey moving beneath 60 cm (2 feet) of snow in a series of tunnels. These owls can crash through snow that could support the weight of a 180-pound person. Great Grey Owls reply almost fully upon small rodents, with voles being their most important food source. Locally, alternative prey animals (usually comprising less than 20% of prey intake) include hares, moles, shrews, weasels, thrushes, grouse, Gray Jays, small hawks and ducks.

In West Norwood, London, we get these lovely little creatures tapping at our windows and doors now that food is hard to come by, they are getting used to being fed some lovely red nuts, and they always do amazing things. Soooo entertaining and lovely to watch. /

Teaching Bandit and Ranger to “forage” for their food, I placed a pumpkin in their “raccoon run” and they have begun to reach in and scoop out the seeds and pumpkin “stuff”! By this coming Spring, hopefully I will have thought of enough things to teach them that they will be able to live in nature successfully.

My little guys, Ranger and Bandit are growing so fast I can hardly believe it! Ranger is the larger of the two, and Bandit is quite a bit smaller, and follows Ranger’s lead. While trying to come up with things to entertain them through the long winter, I asked a farmer for this tire. As soon as I began to hang it up my guys were all over it:) Sometimes I hide treats in the hollow of the tire. The other night I saw Ranger standing up beside the tire with his left arm through the center holding it in place while he was reaching in with his right hand and pulling out the Toasty-O’s I hid in there for him! Unfortunately I haven’t been able to capture that image yet:)

This small town barber shop has been in existence for almost sixty years; my father, 84 years young, is still at the helm, taking care of his clientele who prefer Daddy’s skills (and conversation) to the modern day, slick salons and spas. Here’s the old pro giving a trim to his great-grandson who was in town for the holidays. Visiting Daddy’s barbershop is like a step back in time; it may not be full of fancy products or have fashionable decor, but it’s got character and the old gents who congregate there have interesting stories to tell and rich, abundant lives to share. I feel much more at home there than in the sleek salons.

Some of you may have seen an earlier post of my 84 year old father cutting my 5 year old grandson’s hair. Sandy Stewart gave me the idea to add this image (a different shot) in sepia tones. I also added the diffuse glow filter to give the image a “look back in time” feel to it. Thanks, Sandy, for your suggestion; it was a good one! My father, a WWII veteran who survived the sinking of the Yorktown in the South Pacific, has been cutting hair since post war days. He has a collection of sweet potato labels which are scattered throughout his shop and a ton of other memorabilia on the walls. If you View Larger, you’ll see to Daddy’s left a photo of him cutting my son’s hair. My son, who is now 33 years old, was probably about the same age as my grandson in that picture. When Daddy showed my son the finished haircut by producing a little hand held mirror, Tom always put his hands over his eyes. He was too shy to see his cute little self up close like that! I love the way the generations are documented here and the way Paw Paw Taylor, as my son and grandson call him, is shown still working and still enjoying it in his golden years of life. Hope you like this image, “The way it was and still is . . .” Another view: /

© C J Lewis A photograph of tree trunk was used as the inspiration for the subject matter. Created using PhotoPlus6 for air-brushing, painting, smudging, colouring and sizing. I use the mouse with the smudge tool to move the colours around and into the shapes desired as I don’t have a Wacom tablet.

I will donate 100% of proceeds from the sales of this image to The Wildlife Trusts Captured In town location Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. England. About blackbird-sized and striking black-and-white. It has a very distinctive bouncing flight and spends most of its time clinging to tree trunks and branches, often trying to hide on the side away from the observer. Its presence is often announced by its loud call or by its distinctive spring ‘drumming’ display. The male has a distinctive red patch on the back of the head and young birds have a red crown. You see them in Woodlands, especially with mature broad-leaved trees, although mature conifers will support them. Also in parks and large gardens. Will come to peanut feeders and birdtables. Not found in Ireland or the far North of Scotland. Most common in England and Wales. They eat Insects, seeds and nuts.

These little ones are in my barn. They are so cute. They began to sing everytime the flash went off.
