I like images that make the viewer think....[tho i wouldn't like to think what some viewers might think of the photographer]...:eek!:
While i'm here....just a few bits....[first pic i took yesterday whilst in an arboretum taking shots of the many varieties of trees and their wonderful shapes]...
Despite the awful weather today....[grizzly and damp]...i went in search of my needle in a haystack...[the 'needle' being a long eared owl]. Following streams and trudging through wet woods i peered into the gloom...searching for 'the shape'...but the owl eluded...!
Whilst searching for one thing tho....one always notices something else....:cat:
ps...i ought to rename this thread as 'the daily ramblings of a photographic nature nut]....

I've been watching a lot of barn owls recently....and every time i am captivated by there beauty....
ps...have purposely not been posting many images of late as a lot of my subject matter does not really qualify as wildlife art...[so it goes on my daft blog...which ideally should carry a public health warning]...:smoke:

Lovely barn owl images, U - something very special about these birds and this interpretation works beautifully.
Incredibly endearing species that appeals to almost everyone i guess Tim.....
ps...in those posted images i tried to evolve an eye-like appearance background...[with the owl itself being an eye shine]...if that makes sense....:cat:
pps...i notice Ed and Gaby have been doing some owl stuff of late...always a pleasure to see...:t:

It's like water off a duck's back!
Just a very few images of late.....
ps...i may just restrict myself to only posting once a week just to give you all a rest]....
Once a week's fine. :-O
p.s. when did it change from Diademed Plover to Sandpiper?
Chuckle...
ps...[have you been reading my daft blog]?
diademed plover...diademed sandpiper...? I always get confused.....:smoke:...wasn't it originally called diademed sandpiper-plover...? Maybe i should stick to using my latin....!All the best Redeye...thanx for dropping by....:t:

C'est pas ma faute, je suis anglais.
the barn owls are SUPERB! REAL wildlife art - and so much more skilful for the fact that it was wildlife art produced with a camera - cameras can be very stifling of creativity - but not in this case - WONDERFUL!
Interesting the Muntjac, I always feel compelled to take photos of dead birds and animals I find.
Interesting the Muntjac, I always feel compelled to take photos of dead birds and animals I find.
It is always a strange emotional reaction when one finds oneself confronted with a dead creature...a curious mixture of sadness and yet wonderment at natures designs...
I felt almost felt compelled to document the occurrence when i chanced upon this roadside casualty as it was such a handsome thing. I never alter the positions of 'things' i happen upon but i do try to do whatever creature it is some sort of justice....[and i don't always succeed]....
Here's a few 'live' images i've taken recently....[i'm making the most of the waxwings in my area at present]...
As you can see from the pix these birds are near a main road....birds over lorries and bin-wagons....
ps...thanx for all kind comments....!

) - love the juxtaposition of the migrants with the overland logistics trailer; class!The weather over the shires of late has been less than inspirational....:smoke:
However....the rain and consequential muddy pools in the field lead me to these images....[don't ask me why i produced them in this manner]...it just felt right...!
Perhaps the forthcoming BBC Attenborough program on the elephant bird egg may have influenced me a tad....[tho i consider them more planetary in nature]....:cat:
ps...[i realize that they don't really qualify as wildlife art and will happily remove them to my blog if necessary]...no worries...!

Terrific work again Mr C (oops
I think Tim says it well on these. As for the most recent, they look like The Egg of Spring, just waiting to hatch. I know there's no such thing as The Egg of Spring but maybe it's just waiting to be discovered..............
Perhaps i should have posted those eggs on the Aesthetics and Symbolism art thread Ken.....
Probably of no great interest...but these attached pix that i took yesterday in the field are the basis for the 'eggs of spring'....
