Along the fence-line. I usually focus my camera on wildlife, but I also can’t resist a striking landscape view #ArtAdventCalendar

Photograph of the view across rolling, golden-green open prairie to a big blue sky full of white clouds. A line of fence posts follows the contour of the terrain, disappearing over the horizon. There is a bird house on one of the posts.

Wildlife tracking! I'm reposting things I made this past year. If you look closely at the deer tracks you'll see I added the hint that they're double registering (hind foot is stepping into the same spot as front foot).

A six-panel comic titled "Wildlife Tracking Tips". In panel 1, the text says "A white-tailed deer traveled through here," and there are white-tailed deer prints in fresh snow. In panel 2, the text says "An American Red Squirrel came by," and the leap marks of a red squirrel are in the snow. In panel 3, the text says "A Snowshoe Hare passed through," and there are the distinctive fluffy-footed marks from a snowshoe hare jumping across the snow. n panel 4, the text says "The Snowshoe Hare found a sword," and one of the front paw marks in the track has been replaced with a long thin line running alongside the track. In panel 5, the text says "The Snowshoe Hare is dual wielding," and both front paw marks have been replaced with long thin lines. In panel 6, the text says "The Snowshoe Hare tamed a mount, vastly increasing its jumping distance. You should run," and the Snowshoe Hare trail runs into a deer track and disappears.

I took this photo recently and the #BirdoftheDay theme of #BerriesandBeaks made me think of it. Apparently, bushtits occasionally eat berries, but this one was only thinking about it. #Birds #Nature #Photography

A small bird sits in a tree with red berries almost forming a nest around the bird. The bushtit has a gray cap, a pointy black beak, and a lighter chest and stomach. She is looking back over her right shoulder.

Bonaparte's gull at sunset. They are such beautiful, delicate birds. 🪶

Here's something childish to start your week.

If you'd like one of these to hand in the loo, I can draw one for you.

In winter lone shopping trolleys form groups for warmth and protection. The alpha trolley, seen at the centre with double child seats, will lead the group. A younger line trolley can be seen on the left, it can take days to be accepted by the group.

We had a couple wonderful encounters with Leopards in Kruger Park, SA. This female had finished eating and had just jumped down from a branch, when a Hyena came sniffing around.
I believe the hyena asked if he could have some of her kill, and I’m pretty sure this is a fairly emphatic “NO!”
#Mammals

A leopard walks towards us through some out of focus green leaves. She has stopped and is snarling, while looking to the left ( her right)
A hyena is out of the picture and her snarl is telling it to go away!

🩵I always think art is such a powerful outlet. Rather its photography, sketching, painting, writing-ect. What matters is you are creating or capturing something only you can. It doesn’t matter if its good or bad. Just as long as you enjoy it🩵
