So seemingly, I need to keep producing pictures of me with my camera. I’ve recently just won a contest with Digital Camera Magazine for this photo: farm1.static.flickr.com/48/146017063_7f30fa9c0b_o.jpg But this shot is for another apparent inclusion for my Shelf Portrait
A very close up photo of this Eurasian Eagle Owl I posted before. 50% of any sales of this photo will be donated to the worldbirdsanctuary.org Canon 40D Canon 70mm-200mm f/4 L lens. Photo taken at the World Bird Sanctuary In Missouri.
The eye of a stunning bird of pray the glorious and powerful Owl…
Turkmenian Eagle Owl this Beauty is only 17 weeks old ! ........ (-: Very large owl with prominent ear tufts and vivid orange eyes, with a deep resonant “ooh-hu” with emphasis on the first syllable. From Europe across Russia to Pacific, South to Iran, Pakistan across to China and Korea, Mainly remote rocky areas, river valleys, ravines, quarries etc. also open forest, Taiga, steppe and semi desert. Eats mainly mammals from shrews up to foxes and young deer. Also a wide range of birds, reptiles and amphibians. Rare or uncommon through most of its range. Becoming very scarce in parts of Europe.
Found this guy long after he had spotted me, but he was brave, I got within about 10’ without his moving and shot probably 40 pics over the course of a couple hours (as I kept coming back). These owls are “sit and wait” predators, dropping from a perch onto their prey. They feed mainly on that which is most available and may include insects, small mammals, birds, snakes, lizards, frogs, and crayfish. Their lifespan is up to 13 years. Measurements & Weights: / Wingspan: 18 – 24 in. / Length: 7.5 – 11 in. / Tail: 3.5 in. / Average Weights: / Male: 5.4 oz. / Female: 6.6 oz. Thanks for looking : )

This little Tufted Titmouse will be my guest at the feeders all year long … but he is especially welcome during the long cold winter. This is a single image on which I experimented with masks … creating a palette layer, then erasing the mask area which covered the bird. The image was taken on November 13, 2008 in Montgomery County, Maryland, with the Nikon D40x, using the 70-300mm VR lens.
This is an as is shot from my NWTrek adventure last month. The bobcat is sometimes called the wildcat, it has a short bobbed tail from which it gets its name. It also has tufts of hair on its ears and sideburns and often confused with the lynx, which is usually grayer and always larger. It is a solitary animal, and those with it as a totem usually share the same situation. / They are the medicine of secrets and silence, an endangered species once found roaming all over the US. It makes his home under rocky ledges and in piles of rocks. Although not very fast, it can leap up to eight feet, its primary food source is rabbits and woodchucks. It can see very well in the dark, and its hearing is acute. If a bobcat has shown itself you should ask yourself these questions… / Are you being too solitary? / Do you need to look for a new learning opportunity? / Are you or those around you being indiscreet? / Are you not trusting your inner senses? / Are you allowing others’ outside appearances to sway you? Whenever bobcat is around, it will teach you that there is true power and strength through silence. SECRETS

I sit here with my pen poised … I do not know what to write. / I wait … / There are so many thoughts … yet none complete / ... snippets … all just snippets. / And like so many times before, my question is: where to begin. / And I smile … wryly smile as I realise how trivial the question really is. / With conviction I feel the answer: / Anywhere. / Yet I waver just once more … where is … anywhere … / And I quietly look within … / it is as though I was watching the clouds drift across a prairie sky … / ... pick one … go on … pick one … / ... / ... and I do … / I see one drift along and I reach out my hand … palm upward turned … slightly cupped as though to scoop something out of a pond … / patiently … gently …. / ... I allow the cloud to rest in my hand … / and time … feels like an eternity … / though I am sure no more has passed but a blink of an eye … / ... / so what is this wispy thing I hold in my hand … that looked so dark and gray and full of substance as it moved on by across the sky of my mind … / ... dare I unravel it … and look what’s inside? ... I am frightened … frightened at my own thoughts … afraid of what I might discover … and be made to face. / ... but here it is … gently resting in my outstretched hand … / ... and … / for a minute there … it looks so harmless … can … it … be … that bad? / And so I begin to unravel … to draw at the tufts … and to my surprise I find the tufts dissolve … like candy floss on my tongue … and as the taste slowly fades away … I tug at the cloud some more … each tuft dissolves before my eyes … I tug and draw and the cloud unravels and shrinks, the tufts disappear and I carry on … and to my astonishment and surprise … I look up … and I see blue sky. ... it was my fear … that was gray … / ... only my fear … nothing more PS this post, for me, is about the writing and the image … bit of a package deal :) ... a bit like the rose I posted and ...

THE SUBJECT: / A very small developing fruiting body of the Cyptotrama aspratum (Gold Tuft) fungus found on a rotting dead branch and caught in the gorgeous natural light of a slightly overcast autumn afternoon sky. / About 1.5cm high. THE LOCATION: / Along a track in the Kattang Nature Reserve, Dunbogan, NSW, Australia. THE MAKING of ‘Spike Jones #3 (Cryptotrama asprata)’: / Out on a fungi hunt with a Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club mate, we were only 150 metres from the car park when we saw the beautiful glow of this fungus poking up from the leaf litter. / While most of the fungi we found were the blues we found three of these at different stages of development. / This photograph is brought to you after much pain and discomfort as I was bitten by a bull ant, my mate was bitten by a leech and we were both bitten by mosquitoes. The things we do…..! / Fuji S9600: RAW, Super macro, Manual settings of f/4.5 @ 1/10sec, Manual focus, ISO80, Tripod, Timer. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3. Visit the Fungi & Lichen collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more fabulous fungi and likeable lichen. NOTE: / I lightened the image slightly and gave the saturation a little tweak for printing on Ilford Galerie Smooth Gloss Media and it did a marvellous job on the oranges/yellows. UPDATE: 19-05-09 / Little Spike has been featured in the Amateur Art Photography Group. UPDATE: 20-6-09 / My glowing golden Fungus was placed 2nd in challenge and has been Featured in the Fungilicious Group.

Tufted titmice, house finches, Carolina chickadees, and cardinals visit my patio feeders regularly and they all love my statue of Jesus where they find a resting place in their busy little lives. This is the bird version of the Garden of Eden with flowers which I posted earlier. Thanks to all the flower lovers who commented about that collage; I appreciate it and am offering this one for bird lovers.
It’s not often I can get a photo of a tufted titmouse; these little spitfires are so fast, they’re gone by the time I adjust the camera. This one was a bit more leisurely, though, and gave me a split second to nab him. Got you Mr. T squared! (I got the idea for the title from my daughter in law Chrissy who calls me Mrs. B Squared (Bonnie Barry); she’s an engineer and thinks mathematically; I’m an English major and numbers are not my strength).
This Tufted Titmouse has been showing up for 4 days now and lands on this table with bits of food on it but does not eat it.. Insted he does what you see here over and over again.. Then… I captured a picture of a Chicadee doing the same thing.. Yet.. all the other birds including the same species just eat it & fly off.. What do you think this behavior is all about… lol… Nikon D60~18/55 / N.Eastern Ct.
