#SilentSunday

Here's a photo I made--shot from an ethical distance--of a burrowing owl south of the Salton Sea last fall. Note that the owl is relaxed and looking around as they do early in the morning. If I were too close, the owl would be hunkering down staring at the camera or would have dived into its burrow.

and a good handle on how things work together, across teams and projects.

Un lac gelé au mois de juin
[FR]

🌟 Un lac sous la glace (et sous les étoiles) au mois de juin 🌟

En ce début de mois de juin 2021, le lac de Souliers était encore gelé !
Cette nuit du 05 au 06 juin, en plus du froid, l'airglow était fortement présent. 🌌
Tellement présent que la couleur verte se reflétait sur la glace du lac ! ❄

Le Queyras offre des surprises uniques en son genre, des moments et lieux étonnants qu'il est impossible de s'en lasser.

Perché à 2492m d'altitude, ce lac se trouve dans un environnement de roches sédimentaires dolomitiques (composées d'au moins 25% de dolomite).
En aval de ce lac, les pentes sont constituées de schistes lustrés témoignant la présence du fond d'un océan de plus de 3000m de profondeur il y a 150 millions d'années.

D'ailleurs, sur le Pic de Roc ...

@dramypsyd Well, if you want to go full on Jungian, you could be Chief Shamanic Officer

So a person set a GoPro at the entrance to a burrowing owl's burrow. There are dozens of comments about what a fantastic photo it is. Having photographed burrowing owls--from an ethical distance--near the Salton Sea ag fields, I know my friend Wendy down there would be horrified, as am I, by what the photographer did. It is wrong to disturb any bird to get-the-shot. 😡 The only reason to approach a burrow is to plant a small flag warning people--& tractors--to steer clear. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wemesq/with/54997651429

Yesterday I went out with a friend to go birding, we visited #Oostvaardersplassen, #Arkemheen, #Eemdijk and #DeSchammer

Happy #WorldWhaleDay! We will never forget our time with a group of bowhead whales off Baffin Island that had come from Greenland. There is much to protect in this world both #whales and #Greenland. #nature #naturephotography
