I've created a 2025 calendar using bird pictures I took in 2024. It's free, so pass it on to bird-loving friends. Here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OzbiOhuY4ulVrHKO7TFlZDBd9qCNHPUu/view?usp=drive_link

This photo shows the cover of the bird calendar. It's a Cooper's hawk, wings upraised and tail spread, about to take flight.

Early Morning Rendezvous is a watercolor painting in landscape format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. Two sweet little birds sit opposite each other in a bush and look at each other. The dense branches of the bush form a heart shape around the two birds. The rest of the bush can only be seen blurred in the light blue morning mist. The two birds are depicted as silhouettes in front of the rising sun in a delicate pink heart shape and surrounded by green heart-shaped leaves.
This watercolour painting is the ideal gift for lovers - for Valentine's Day, a birthday, a wedding anniversary or just to say "I love you".

Robin in a holly bush is a watercolor painting in landscape format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A robin sits on a branch in a holly bush and looks to the right. It is surrounded by green leaves and red berries. The background is painted with loose brushstrokes in different shades of green, which form a strong color contrast to the red winter berries of the bush and the red-orange breast feathers of the bird. The Ilex is also called Holly or Christmas Holly. The evergreen branches with the red fruits are often used for Christmas decorations.

Same place, same bird, one year later. Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis, 🇩🇪 Eisvogel, 🇵🇱 zimorodek)

#birds #birdphotography #birdsofmastodon #birdwatching #nature #naturephotography #vogelflausch #ptaki

Frontal view of a male Kingfisher standing on a large rock. The bright colours of the bird contrast sharply with the dull grey surroundings of rocks and dirt. The bird turns its head to the side.

Good morning. ☕☕☕

13 May 2025

Hopefully, today is a yardwork day. I tend to put things off whenever I feel like it, but the ever-growing grass serves as a reminder that I need to take action—kind of like my cluttered desktop. For weeks, I've been telling myself I need to clear it off, yet I let things stay there simply as reminders that each item requires attention. You see how that works, right? Then there's the water bottle in the corner—I have no idea why it's there, but it's been sitting for a while. A mystery not worth solving. I also need to vacuum my office floor. The Roomba comes through every morning, but lately, it just seems to shuffle things around.

"Procrastination is like a credit card: it's a lot of fun until you get the bill." — Christopher Parker

Notice things.

Sometimes, when I'm out walking, I spot something and snap a picture. Unlike the days of film, there’s no cost to taking the shot—even if it seems unremarkable at the time. But later, as I sift through the photos, I notice details I overlooked. When I took this particular shot, I focused on the birds without really seeing the forest around them. I’m not sure what species they are, but I’d guess they belong to the local pigeon battalion.

"This image beautifully captures a forest scene during autumn, with trees displaying a mix of golden yellow and green foliage. The sky is a vibrant blue with a few wispy clouds drifting across it. Adding an element of movement to the tranquil landscape, several birds are seen soaring high above the treetops. The framing includes branches on both sides, creating a natural border that enhances the depth of the scene. The contrast between the rich autumn colors and the crisp sky makes this an eye-catching photograph, highlighting both the serenity and liveliness of nature." - Copilot

Three downy goslings follow their goose parent in reflective water. Ripples form as they paddle forward in sunshine.

Visiting the local patch this evening to find some inner peace. Sat down the edge of a field of reed, watching some bumblebees. Looking up I met de eye of a female reed bunting, calmly sitting in the reed.

We have an American robin building a nest and hatching her babies on our porch... Her name is Janet. She has been sitting there for almost two weeks now. Unfortunately she gets scared every time there's someone coming to the door, but she always comes back and continues hatching. We have great joy observing her and now we're worried that she may not have babies because it has been so long. 🥹
