These lovely eggs were left unprotected on the beach. They belonged to a Red-Capped Plover. For better viewing See it in ” View larger”.
I grew these little snapdragons myself from seeds so they turned out really tiny… a little smaller than my thumbnail.
Image was taken at Banham zoological wildlife park Norfolk England UK The Sri Lanka leopard…. A recent study has shown that Yala National Park has one of the highest recorded densities of leopards in the world, although this animal is still considered to be endangered. The Wilpattu National Park in Sri Lanka is also known as a good place to watch leopards. Leopards tend to be more readily observed in parts of Sri Lanka than in other countries where they share their habitat with more dominant competitors, such as lions or hyaenas. Like most cats, the Sri Lanka leopard is pragmatic in its choice of diet which can include small mammals, birds, reptiles as well as larger animals. Axis or spotted deer make up the majority of its diet in the dry zone. The animal also preys on sambar, barking deer, wild boar and monkeys. The cat has been known to tackle almost fully grown buffalos. The leopard hunts like other leopards, silently stalking its prey until it is within striking distance where it unleashes a burst of speed to quickly pursue and pounce on its victim. The prey is usually dispatched with a single bite to the throat.
More tiny mysterious flowers… I miss summer already…boo :( Enjoy!

A lone sparrow on resting on a reed at the santa Barbara bird refuge. Sparrows are any of a number of small, chiefly seed-eating birds having conical bills. The name sparrow is most firmly attached to birds of the Old World family Ploceidae (order Passeriformes), particularly to the house sparrow (Passer domesticus) that is so common in temperate North America and Europe, but also to many New World members of the Fringillidae. The house sparrow and its relatives, however, probably do not belong in Ploceidae and may be classified as a separate family, Passeridae. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- I will donate 50% of all proceeds from the sale of this image and the ones below to the American Bird Conservancy And the T-Shirt below
Lots of white flowers – Nikon D60
These crocuses are growing in the middle of our front lawn, where no crocuses have ever been planted. They started appearing about 3-4 years ago, a tiny patch of tender purple softness amidst the dry grass and unsightly dead weeds, leftover from the summer before. I used a large aperture, hoping that the shallow DOF would throw out of focus the dead grass, and create a nice blur in its place. I also made it very bright to create the joyful atmosphere of high key, so representative of the spring season. Focal length 52mm / ISO-100 / Aperture f/5,6 / Shutter 1/125 sec. Shot in aperture priority, while lying flat on my face in the grass / Nikon D60 / AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G VR Also available as a Mother’s Day greeting card in my other portfolio /

was asked to do a photo shoot of 2 rescued Pygmy Owls today…What an honor, and what an amazing little bird of prey…WOW…they are listed as the worlds smallest bird of prey, and they live right here on Vancouver Island… The Northern Pygmy Owl is a tiny, woodland, diurnal Owl that is most active between dawn and dusk. They have greyish or brownish or reddish (3 morphs) upperparts and light belly that is boldly streaked with brown. The head and nape are liberally sprinkled with whitish dots (more cinnamon or buff on red morph). On the nape are 2 distinctive, vertical black patches that resemble an extra pair of eyes. The relatively long tail is distinctly barred with 6 to 7 light stripes. Eyes are yellow, bill is yellowish-horn, and the toes are greyish-yellow. / Juveniles are similar to adults but with unspotted and greyer heads, and fluffy plumage. Size: Average Length Female: 18.5 cm (7.3”), male: 16.5 cm (6.5”) / Average Wingspan 38 cm (15”) / Average Weight Female 73 g (2.6 oz), Male 62 g (2.2 oz).
