This is a perfect theme for me as I try to spend some time each day walking in the woods and have been exploring different woodland preserves in my area. Thank you for having my picture as the banner shot! As always I am honored.
Walking, I saw a blur, and suddenly there it was, an owl. This is a barred owl, one of the few owls that hunt during the day.
This tree is being excavated by woodpeckers looking for insects.
A boulder in the woods. Nice place to sit and have a sip of water.
Forests in Florida are different from temperate zone forests. The vegetation grows so fast that paths are quickly overgrown. I tend to walk on the edge so as to avoid hostile wildlife such as snakes, spiders and thorns.
Wonderful capture of the owl.
ReplyDeleteAmazing fissure
Mysterious boulder and magical tree
Hi Benni !! Fabulous shots for this week's theme. Beautiful capture of the owl.....what a wonderful encounter. Those woodpeckers certainly have been busy!! If they keep that up the poor tree is going to fall over. Your third shot made me raise an eyebrow.....pondering how that boulder came to be there!! Ancient glacial movement, would be my guess. I really like that tree's natural 'lattice-work' and the colourful flowers surrounding it in the final shot.
ReplyDeletehi Benni wonderful shots love the owl
ReplyDeleteWonderful variety of shots. Love the owl capture, I only hear them but have never seen one in our forests, probably because they only appear at night. An interesting woodpecker sign, another unique photo. The boulder looks very impressive, but a bit cold for a seat.Your forests are really something completely different, no leaves just needles and spikes. Interesting photo.
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations to the wonderful banner shot.
