Last weekend, the weather allowed me a walk in the nearby mountains. It was cold (- 8° C) and the birds I had seen there last time were gone. Although the snow was fresh, I coud find no animal prints. But there was a lot of people… Too many ?
I was disppointed but fortunately, I was attracted by the pattern of branches showing the skeleton of a pine tree. And when there is less snow, the design makes me thinks of lace…
[News] - [Wild Lights on February 8, 2010]
It has been snowing a lot in France these days. And I love it, even if it’s a little complicated to drive… Still, every time I can go walking in my favorite forest, I like following tracks left by animals.
A few days ago, I discovered two tracks: a bird of prey and a hare. And there was blood. I imagined the scene: the bird saw the hare and attacked. Thanks to powerful paws and claws, the mammal was quickly killed, pulled and taken away, as there was no evidence of hairs.
A few yards farther, I saw the birds’ prints in the snow. They were fresh, dating from the previous night at most. So, I made photos and took measures to show friends of mine who are serious ornithologists. They hesitated with a buzzard, but they went 80% for a goshawk (Accipiter gentilis).
I eventually found some time to prepare four new wallpapers. So, now you can choose among 12 themes, 6 resolutions each.
You can load them for free for personal use. Contact me for any other use.
You will also find new photos of birds, mammals, landscapes and sky.
Enjoy…
