Laura Weishaupt Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Basic Guidelines: In the strictest sense, nature photography should not include "hand of man elements". Please refrain from images with buildings or human made structures like roads, fences, walls. Pets are not permitted. Captive subjects in zoos, arboretums, or aquariums are permitted, but must be declared, and must focus on the subject, not the captivity. Images with obvious human made elements will likely be deleted from the thread, with an explanation to the photographer. Guidelines are based on PSA rules governing Nature photography which also cover the Nature Forum. Keep your image at/under 1000 pixels on the long axis for in-line viewing. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site at Flicker, Photobucket, your own site, etc Are you new to this thread? We post one image per week. Good Morning, I hope you've all had a great week. We'll dive right in with surface dense fog at sunset. But it's time for the sun to rise on Monday in Nature. Grab your coffee and have a great day. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlennS Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 The Anna's Hummingbird I recently posted a photo of has now hatched her eggs. In the past three years I've found four Anna's nests each producing two offspring. Three out of the four were in pear trees, with one in an apple. They seem to like older knotted branches where the nests will blend in. The addition of tree lichen makes them almost invisible. Camera details...

Jon Eckman Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Although it was in the single digits around here over the weekend, overall it hasn't been that cold this winter. However, I am looking forward to the next seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gup Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) This is a portrait of a regular visitor last summer. I maintain a puddle out back during the dry season for birds, chipmunks, squirrels, snakes, my dog and just about anyone else who happens by in need. Last summer this girl took up residence long enough to leave us with a couple dozen tadpoles to foster. It was the first time in 25 years that had happened. I just kept trucking water from rain barrels in the front of the house to the puddle in the back whenever necessary. I don't think any of the young ones made it to maturity. If it happens again I'll move them to an aquarium to guarantee their survival. I've always had an affinity for frogs.

We have similar good fortunes, as far as neighbours are concerned, but I watch from behind closed windows between November and April. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Doo Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) I shot a series of this feeding frenzy of this Great Egret family. The ritual is anything but gentle, as the mother looks scared in every one. This image is interesting to me for the diagonal line of beaks.
