Stonechat. Finished wood engraving, first test print, which I'm very pleased with and the photo that the engraving is based on, taken on one of our regular walks on Ilkley Moor.

#birds #NaturalHistory #nature #art #PrintMaking #WoodEngraving

100x100mm lemonwood block engraved with a stonechat perched on a young, growing and unfurling, bracken frond, with a foreground of bracken and other plants, receding through shrubs along a path to a stile in a drystone wall, with more moorland beyond. The bird locks inquisitively at me. An engraving tool and a pencil are included for scale.

I came across with this picturesque scenery at the Jardin du Soleil Lavender Farm in Sequim, Washington on our road trip few days ago. I really liked the quaint metal table and chairs positioned at the edge of this lovely lavender field with wavelike display, creating a serene outdoor seating area as purple and green hues blended harmoniously, offering a calming rural scene.

Golden rays of sunlight burst through scattered clouds, creating a dramatic sky over the silhouetted landscape of trees and houses of Bellevue, Washington with the Olympic Mountains in the background.
The blend of dark clouds and vibrant sunlight creates a stunning contrast, evoking a sense of calm and awe.

The world’s only alpine parrot – the curious, clever, and often mischievous kea 🦜

Photographed here in its natural habitat in Otira, New Zealand, with the snow-covered Southern Alps as a backdrop. These endangered birds are full of personality and play a vital role in our mountain ecosystems.
Let’s protect what’s left.

A kea, New Zealand’s native alpine parrot, stands in the foreground on a ledge. Its feathers are olive green with hints of orange and teal, and it’s facing sideways against a dramatic backdrop of snow-covered mountains and rocky alpine terrain near Otira.

Oh, sleepy summer day. I don't really feel like being busy and efficient, powering through like a machine to keep the profits up for those corporations who tap into my energy and time.

Nature's lazing about in the heat, resting, keeping cool in the heat.

I think I'll let her by my "Influencer" today.

Close-up, slightly high-angle shot of a flower garden. Dominant hues are shades of pinks and purples. The foreground flowers are extremely bright pink, out-of-focus, and take up the bottom third of the composition. Small purple flowers form the primary flower cluster, with stems covered in soft white fuzz. The background partially reveals a grey rooftop and green trees. The scene is well-lit, with overcast lighting.

Birds are amazing. But considering how much of my life I've spent watching and studying them, I've thought surprisingly little about just how incredible feathers are. Talking to engineers who still can't build anything to match a feather gave me a whole new understanding and appreciation for these absolute marvels of evolution.

This morning I knew this chrysalis was about to be ready. Went for an hour for a walk, came back, and there is a new Monarch 🦋 😍. Still has to let the wings dry and unfold.
Always in wonder how this large butterfly fits into the small bag.

The butterfly has emerged and is clinging to the now translucent empty bag.
The butterfly is orange with black veins and white dots along the edges of the wings.

El Capitan

El Capitan is one of the first landmarks that you will see as you drive into Yosemite Valley. This granite wall rises 3,000 feet off of the valley floor and is truly a sight to see. From the valley floor El Capitan is visible as you enter into the park and is prominently displayed to see from most points in the valley.
I love sitting below this monolith trying to spot climbers.

I had to rescue a baby rabbit trapped in our garden fence. Hopefully the little guy gets back to his group. I put him within sight of 6 other rabbits. It was hard convincing Ellie not to touch it but human scent would mark it so I used beekeeping gloves that smell like everything but humans.
