Some interesting photographs!

I was looking over many of my photos recently and came across some that I thought I would share here.  They illustrate interesting phenomena and are not photo-shopped!

A few years back I was visiting Toronto for a four day stay and went to a particular park each day to see what I could find to photograph.  The weather turned extremely hot and humid. I was struck by the beautiful evergreens in the park and photographed a tree on my first and last days there.  I was astonished to see the change in the needles that the humidity created!



Another interesting shot was of a Focolvert Duck which is remarkable in that it constructs a very large conical shaped nest (as seen below) and, as an evolutionary co-development, the eggs of this duck are "square" shaped to prevent them from rolling down the sides of the nest and into the pond.



Now this next one was very disturbing!  I found a Red Squirrel the other day that was very excited about the sap dripping down a branch.  It got so excited in fact that it LOST ITS HEAD!




Well ... you may have guessed by now that this is an April Fools' Day posting!


To end on a sweet note, check out the following:

I call this picture

" Two little birds sitting in a tree, k--i--s--s--i--n--g!"
