Roe deer

Roe deer

I took these pictures through the window one morning last week. Just a few minutes before the first Teams meeting. The roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) is also know as European roe or just roe. It can be found all over Europe all the way to Caucasus. In the pictures is a female and two skids but I never got them together as one was running back and forth. Playing I think. Something I never seen before.

Cute, but not always so popular as they host ticks, eat mother-in-laws tulips and scratch against the new planted fruit trees. Ha de Gött!

White wagtail

White wagtail

The White wagtail (Motacilla alba) has its name from the constant wagging of its tail. It’s a migrating bird that, like rich retired people, fly to the Mediterranean during winter. Usually come back in April. According to my father, who was a farmer, it should arrive April 4th. If not, the harvest would be late and poor. Likes open country near water. National bird of Latvia. Ha de Gött!

Fish fry

Fish fry

Fish fry shoal looking for food under the jetty. No adult fish to show them the ropes. With nothing more than what’s coded in their DNA they have to find food. Steer away from bigger fish and birds trying to eat them. If the grow up someone might catch them and fry them.

Ha de Gött!

Seal

Seal

Meet the seal (Phoca vitulina). Last Saturday I got the boat in the water and today went for a short tour bringing the camera. I was hoping for some birds but this little girl, I think it is a she, turned up. I’ve seen her many times before but she is shy. So, every time I get the camera up she dives or stays out of reach. This time I had the zoom lens 55-250 mm. Ha de Gött!

Light

Light

I took this picture trying to capture the very special light. Is this picture hopeful or frightening?

Sunlight piercing through the dark clouds. Blue skies shows like hope. A house stands firmly on the rock. Shelter against the howling wind. Beams of hopeful light shines on the boats safe on land. Shines in the glittering water, like a child laughter. Bright crest on the clouds like bird wings.

Thickening clouds cover the sun. Blue skies turn darker and darker. Shadows eating the light. The structure on the rocks turns to a scary fortress. Birds fly nervously to take shelter. Water shivers in the cold wind. Clouds turns into deeper gray like a cold November day.

Two ways of describing the same picture. Which one fits you today?

Drop

Drop

What am I, but a drop in the ocean
Clustered together with others
Strong carry tons of steel
Together as one
Life, feeding a world
Glue to the chain of food
Flying high up in the sky
Momentum from wind and sun
Master basic states of physics
Cold Solid, tempered liquid, gaseous hot
What am I, but a drop in the ocean
Circle of life, life itself

Water, H2O, a chemical compound that covers 71% of the Earths surface. All living organism depend on it. We should treat it with the respect it deserves. Ha de Gött!

Plastic pollution

Plastic pollution

A few days ago I wrote about our annual Easter historical walk to the natural preserve, Tjurpannan. I took some nice pictures that i plan to share with you. But as I went through them I saw these pictures that I also took. So what’s wrong with this picture?

Is it the Homo Sapiens in a nutshell? Intelligent enough to invent a fantastic material as plastic. Dumb enough to just dump it in the oceans hoping it will disappear. It doesn’t look very nice and animals can get stuck or swallow it with tremendous suffering before death.

But the biggest problem is when the plastic parts are grind down to small parts, called micro plastic. Fish and animals eat it and it travels up the food chain. They get troubles breeding and can even starve to death when their intestines are damaged. Who is usually in the top of the food chain?

So please don’t leave that plastic on the ground. Pick it up! Ha de Gött!
