Stop - Thief !

(Details in the ) (AltText By Human)

This is a colour wildlife photo in landscape format of a Gentoo Penguin, racing away with a small rock in its beak, having just stolen it from another penguin's nest (they use small rocks, stones or pebbles as a nesting material). Booth Island, Antarctica (2024). In the foreground is a large, smooth and sloping rock, stained a medium red or brown, that rises up from the lower left corner, extends over to the right margin and rises upwards to a little less than the quarter up level. In the centre of the photo is our thieving Gentoo Penguin hurrying from left to right. The penguin is viewed obliquely with right side and back in view, filling most the height of the photo and view from a few metres away and at the same level as the bird. In fact the photo was taken from five or more metres away, but with a long lens so the photo appears to be shot much closer. In the bird's beak is a small dark and sharp rock, probably no more than a few cm across. The sides of the bird's beak are bright orange with the top and bottom being black. The bird's back is black, while the front is white including a white stripe that extends from one eye, over the top of the head and then down to the other eye. The two wing or flippers are extended outwards for balance. At the base of the back is an fan shaped arrangement of short, dark tail feathers that extend at right angles (parallel to the ground). Below are two large bright orange feet. In the background, a few metres away, is a further large and smooth rock that slopes gently from the upper right corner down towards the lower left corner. Between the front and rear rocks is a small gully with one adult Gentoo and two chicks, all facing to the left and viewed in profile. On the edge of the far rock is a line of snow and ice. The distant background is all a medium grey, devoid of any detail.

    Red Squirrel

    With snow falling at home, I headed to the red squirrel woodland hide, where more had already settled.

    This male helped me create some new Christmas card images!

    Magical.

    Email me if you'd like to book a day at this woodland.

      First map of the season. Snow will be mostly confined to British Columbia but the highest peaks in Washington and Northern Oregon will probably get some too.

      Modeled snowfall through the weekend with a few patches up to 10 cm in high altitude mountains in British Columbia.

        'Minimalismus'

        I took this during a winter hike when I entered the fog on the ground. There's hardly anything on the photo - but that's what I like about it. It is calming to me
