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

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. Enjoy! FUNGI: KATTANG / (Click the links!)

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 : )

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).

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

I’d like to dedicate this card to Doug Palmer and his twin sister on their birthday. Doug is Kimberly Palmer’s husband. If you haven’t checked out Kimmie’s gallery, you’re missing SOMETHING WONDERFUL! Do so pronto! Happy Birthday to Doug and his twin sister! (By the way, the little bird in this image is a tufted titmouse, a perky songbird with great wide eyes and lots of personality).

Family: Phormiaceae / Distribution: Widespread in open forests, woodlands and heaths of eastern and south-eastern Australia. / Common Name: Tufted blue-lily / Derivation of Name: Thelionema… From Greek thelion, teat or nipple and nema, a thread, referring to the stamen filaments that are papillary hairy except at the tip and the base. / caespitosum…From Latin caespes, turf or sod and the suffix -osus, plenitude or notable development, referring to the tufted growth habit. / Conservation Status: Not considered to be at risk in the wild. General Description: / Thelionema is a small genus of three species comprising tufted perennial herbs with long, narrow leaves and lily-type flowers. All species occur only in Australia and they were previously considered to belong to the genus Stypandra. T.caespitosum (formerly Stypandra caespitosum) is a perennial herb with linear leaves 30-90 cm long by 2-12 mm wide. The plants spread by underground rhizomes and can form dense clumps. Flowers occur on branched stems that extend above the leaves and are usually deep blue with yellow anthers although white forms are known. The flowers are star-like, about 25 mm in diameter and flowering is from spring to mid summer. Apparently hybridization with the other two species occurs. This species has been in cultivation for many years and is hardy in a wide range of climates and reasonably well drained soils. It prefers a position in full sun or lightly shaded. If older, dead leaves look unattractive, these can be easily removed without harm to the plant. Propagation from seed is unreliable and better results are obtained by division of the grassy clumps, usually after flowering. This flower was shot in the Blue Mountains NSW. Ref: Association of Societies for Growing Australian Plants (ASGAP) Thanks to ChrisRoss for informing me of the name of this flower!
