a little dark, but…i like it!
Crow sitting on an almost snow-buried sign warning against feeding coyotes. / The crow seemed to think since he wasn’t a coyote, I should feed him. / Feeding any wild animal in Yellowstone Park is bad news, so all the bird got for posing was a verbal ” thanks and have a great day”.

I was delighted today with this relatively unusual winter visitor chose to come and eat at “Bailey’s Birdie Bistro” (aka our bird feeders). This is a Brambling – either a female or a male in winter plumage (in summer the males have solid black heads). Canon EOS 50D with Canon EF 400mm L f/5.6 handheld
Makes me think of Nessie, the Monster of the Loch Ness. Maybe that’s how such legends have started? Dark creepy surroundings, a person or two walking along the river, perhaps hearing a fluttering of unseen wings and the sudden cry of a small animal falling prey to a larger one… then nothing but a heavy silence. They start feeling uneasy and get a warm numbing sensation up their spine. They experience a slight shortness of breath and their eyes keep darting everywhere around them, watching for a potential danger. It’s getting darker by the minute… will they be back to the parking lot before complete darkness? They pick up their pace a bit, but the path is dark and rough. Is there a fork in the path right there? Is that were they came from? Wary, they go to the left, unsure of whether they are heading in the right direction. What’s that noise? Is that the river? It’s getting so cold, they’re shivering now. They walk on, thinking that perhaps they should backtrack and try the other path. There is the river! This part is not completely frozen; the currents are too strong. As they are about to turn around and start going back, they see something in the dim light of the early evening. It looks so strange… They take a few step toward it, but then there is a cry with a great noise and a frightening creature is rising out of the water before them! They run, without taking notice of the bumps and holes in the path, they just run back to the car, back to safety. The couple of crows disturbed by the the two people now land side by side on the huge gnarled root of a big nearby tree just at the edge of the river. They are enjoying a moment of calm before settling in higher in the branches for a peaceful night… / Shot in Ville Ste-Catherine, this is a close-up of a big root stuck in ice.

The title of this sums up the general feeling I wanted to recreate. / Winter’s last stand on a lonely westerly corner of the british isles. A little gentle processing in PS to heighten colour & drama as the light / began to go… (Location: Near St Blanes, SW corner of Isle of Bute which is on the west coast of Scotland around 45 miles from Glasgow. View is towards the Isle of Arran.)
From a snowmobile adventure in Yellowstone National Park, Montana. The buffalo/bison like the plowed roads because they are easier to walk on. Being herd animals they recognize a group of snowmobiles as a herd and try to break up the heard. We were given strict instructions to pull in tight together and turn the engines off and be silent as the buffalo/bison passed by us. I was thrilled at how close they were. I can’t wait to go back and do this again. Scanned from film
One of the many birds that inhabit the Adelaide Hills, are galahs. Taken in winter, on a grey winter’s day. The leaves have died, and fallen off the trees, but they are still a refuge and a source of food for the birds. The birds add a touch of colour to the natural environment. Taken at Brownhill Creek Recreation Park, South Australia. taken with a canon eos 400D digital SLR and a Tamron 18-270mm lense.
There is no way to describe seeing these beautiful animals in the wild. The thing that surprised me most was the lack of sound from these bears. The sound of the wind is all you hear, no growls just occasional thuds as their bodies come together. Their silent “social fighting” is a common activity for the bears before they go out onto the ice flows for the winter. / The only growl that I heard on my 5 days on the tundra came from a mother bear warning her cubs of danger and from an older seasoned bear showing dominance over a young male bear. / From The Collection: The Bears of Churchill / deridorityphotography.com / 100% of sales from this collection go to Polar Bears International

Wild horses crossing the desert terrain on a cold winter’s day , The late evenning sun cast a beautiful soft light across the valley.
Scroll down for another image of this beautiful Cow Moose and her darling calf From my collection: / Emerquinox ~ The Spirit of Alaska ~ Alaska North Star Winter Scenics Emerquinox is a word I coined when I combined the words Emerge and Equinox. This magnificent Cow Moose and her young calf were photographed near North Pole Alaska, which is about a twenty minute drive from Fairbanks Alaska on Badger Road. Did you know more than one Moose is still Moose? Many Moose, or two Moose, or one Moose, it is always Moose. Just thought you would want to know that. :) I have many more images of this beautiful Cow Moose and her yearling calf as they permitted me to watch and photograph them for over an hour. Many of my viewers seem to perceive I am standing on the ground within arms length of this 1200+ lb Moose!! I wish for everyone to know and understand that I remained in my truck watching her with her adorable calf for well over an hour. And while she did approach me as I remained in my truck watching her, (with my engine idling and heater blowing as the temps were subzero!) once she decided I was no threat to her, she seemed as curious about me as I was about her and her darling calf! The Cows are very protective of their young, and the Bulls are aggressive and unpredictable as well. And I would advise everyone to never approach a Moose. She is a ‘resident’ Moose, and she and her calf live in the deep forest surrounding my home in the wilderness when I lived in Alaska near North Pole. She is wild, and certainly not tame, as someone asked. A Cow Moose will kill you if you come between her and her calves. Cows are generally not hunted, and she is simply accustomed to being around humans since she is one of several generations of Moose born in this area. With an abundance of Diamond Willow (their favourite) and other tender shoots along the roadways, and the remnants of summer gardens, they simply brush off the snow with their noses and browse. She has no need to migrate. There are many many more in this area. They are elusive however, and nocturnal for the most part, so it is always a thrill to see one! It is only in winter when one sees them struggling to survive the deep winter browsing during the “daylight” hours. And then too, in winter it is dark for so many hours so the night is extended! Most people think of Alaska as The Land of the Midnight Sun. That is true only for a short time in a very brief summer. In winter Alaska is The Land of Perpetual Darkness. The calf’s first winter is the most precarious. This calf is experiencing her first winter. I can see that she is a female calf by her fine feminine sex characteristics. The male calves are larger and masculine. During summer it is generally late evening, dusk, during the night and early morning when one sees the beautiful Moose browsing and foraging in the forests and along the rivers and roadways. ~ Sharon Mau The moose (Alces alces) is the world’s largest member of the deer family. The Alaska race (Alces alces gigas) is the largest of all the moose.
