/ A flock of birds, it swooped and danced, Held my gaze while I stood entranced. They moved as one through the atmosphere A minuet as they drew near. Thousands of birds in a flight of grace; Each tiny bird kept its own place. The percussion beat of their drumming wings Keeping time while the multitude sings, And I can hear them on their stage in the air A traveling show to who knows where. Perhaps a summer home, a perch, A quiet place in a Silver Birch. An end to the long dance, a place to rest Where wing and song can pause in a feathered nest.

Oils on linen painting of elephants trekking across the Namib Desert on their annual migration to the Etosha Pans. They are tired, hungry and thirsty – and who knows how many family members they have lost along the way. When they reach Etosha, in time for the flooding, these elephants swim and play like children, happy to have the blessing of water. Elephants are once again vulnerable. The ivory trade will lead to the slaughter of these magnificent and very clever animals. Their family ties and compassion for one another is evident for anyone who watches and follows the herds. Donations from the sale of this painting will be used for anti-poaching conservation organisations. Please visit my blog to see my posting about the Ivory Trade and please make your voice heard about this issue. Clare Artist Blog

Geese returning, framed against the Kenai mountain range across Cook Inlet. Signs and sounds of spring near our house, despite ice chunks in the inlet. Nikon D200 and a Nikkor 18-200mm at f/11 and 1/250 sec, -.3ev, using a circular polarizing filter. IS0 200. Converted from RAW to jpeg using Capture NX2. Light curve and slight crop. Sun sets about 9:45 p.m. these days, and we’re gaining light quickly. Featured in DSLR Users Only – 3 A Day – Thank you. That’s very encouraging! Whoopee! Sold a mounted print! Thank you! I feel so energized I could climb one of those mountains now! /

Totally exhausted from it’s long journey (Grand Canyon to North Carolina), this duck just barely managed to drag itself onto the beach to rest. Note the similarities to this Duck spotted at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon: /

I spent a night in a photo blind at the edge of the Platte river in order to photograph the Sandhill cranes. The birds are very wary and this was one way to hopefully get a better vantage point as they came in to roost in the evening. I was discouraged at first that the night of my reservation proved to be very cloudy and by the time the majority of the birds had come to rest on the sandbars it was mostly dark. Determined to go away with whatever I could get, I set my camera for a longer shutter speed and was really pleased to capture both the motion of the current and the slow graceful movements of the birds as they preened and waded in the shallow water. I can’t imagine a more beautiful place to be in early Spring when the Sandhill Cranes migrate by the hundreds of thousands and use this 80 mile stretch of shallow river as their safe haven while they rest, gain weight for their long flight, and establish life long partnerships through elaborate dance. / /

This is a baby red crab from Christmas Island, sitting on a rock at dawn. The crab had just emerged from the ocean where he/she hatched from his/her egg. The babies are less than 3mm wide and long, and are almost transparent. They leave the ocean en-masse and make their way into the jungle. Unfortunately the en-mass ocean departure only happens every 1-2 in 10 years, so instead of getting shots of millions of tiny red crabs, instead i took portrait pics of them with my 105mm macro lens. They were soooo tiny and had the exact same mannerisms as their larger red crab relations. They were some of the cutest creatures i have ever had the joy to see! The red crabs of Christmas Island are famous for their annual migration to the ocean to mate and spawn. Exactly one month later, the baby crabs emerge from the ocean. Many natural factors have to align for the migration to commence, such as the stage of the moon, recent rainfall, etc. The whole cycle is a miracle of nature. Taken with a Canon 5D Camera, 105mm Sigma lens, at f2.8, ISO 320, 1/1000th sec, handheld. As is. Featured in the following groups: A Photographers Craft, Minatures & Mammoths, & Image Writing.

Snow geese trio in Missouri.

Today I had my first close encounter with snow geese, who appear to have migrated here for the winter. What a sight to see. The noise as they are in flight is just incredible! It appears to be advantageous to be on top during these close flights ….. notice the one “leaking” some hydraulic fluid?

I get to see the Rose-breasted Grosbeaks only during the spring migration. They pass through the Mississippi flyway, spend a few days at the feeders in my locale, and then continue their journey northward toward their summer home. Surprisingly, they are quite docile and put up with the camera clicks unlike other birds that are much more skittish. The female looks very different from the male, being brown and speckled. This male lit on a branch before going to the feeders for breakfast. It’s been a lovely experience seeing these wild birds up close. This is the first time I’ve seen three pairs at my feeders and the first time they’ve lingered long enough for me to get some varied shots of them.
