YES Bakie - THATS THE ONE!! He was on the radio and he sounded so chill about the thing "I've meet bears before... its not so dangerous"  "Make your photo and go home!"  I hope he did find a girl and made little baby roe deers too. I'm amazed the bugs on your YouTube channel dont flee. You must be really slow when you go in to shoot them, I assume, so they dont get scared away. I like pictures of bugs, It's really intressting because you see details on they you dont see in Real Life but... when I all of the suddent became scared of birds, I became scared of bugs too.  sweetsorrowsims - Thanks... Looking at those pics I'm pretty jealous of myself. It dosent feel like I was there, it feels like it's someone elses photots. I still cant get to grip with it, lol. I've smashed them against some trees first before making the photos... No I'm kidding, I would never do that!  But you're right, to get really close to almost every animal, you have to move really slowly. One thing about bugs with wings, they have to dry their wings in the morning sun before being able to fly. So if you go out on a sunny early morning to see dragonflies or other flying insects that can't protect their wings like ladybugs can, look for fallen trunks or rocks in the sun where they go to enjoy the warmth of the sun to dry their wings and get some energy. Those are the best times to make photos of them, as they're not that fast in the morning. I also really like macro photography because of the details. Flies become some sort of aliens that way So you're scared of anything that flies? Birds, bugs, bats, flying fishes, flying squirrels?  Good thing you clarified that you would never smash them. My god you know alot about animals, bugs and birds and god knows what else I bet your dream home is in the middle of the woods, or near a lake or something! I bought my Cannon camera for two reasons. One; because I wanted to take macro photos too, macro photots are amazing, but I dont have a macro objective. And two; because I wanted to take night photos of the sky and stars... but I dont have a camera stand either, so Im screwed, lol. I got my camera like 4 years ago and still dont have any of those things. Yeah, I guess you can say im scared of anything that flies. Thankfully we dont have flying squirrels here in Sweden.  |

Ohh my gosh, remember a day or so ago whe talked about laughing so hard when you saw or read something another person said to you?? Well now it's good you don't see me, I can't stop laughing on your reply..thanks so much for the laugher and I hope whe still are friends even all the animals who have wings and fly around hahaha..hope I can sleep hahaha Birds enough here haha my whole garden is filled with them just like all kind of mouses and last winter I had a mother hedgedog with 5 baby's, build a house for them and gave them food, they survifed how you say that? the winter. Then whe took them to a big wood in the spring where are no cars etc..so I hope they live there long and happy! The owl was sitting on a fence near my horse, saw him one day ,he saw me too and took a run into the sky, was very impressing to see him fly above my head straight away into a tree..looking the next couple days to catch him with the camera..patient patiently..think he liked my horse haha Now I'm off to my bed! Night night and sleep well! |

Thank you sweetsorrowsims, Owls are a bit special I suppose, you don't see them much around. I know there are a few in that area, now they want to build there houses! Whe have had a petition to stop the plans only for the Owl's. They would move away and that would be a shame. Ah people destroy so much >:(

I got my camera like 4 years ago and still dont have any of those things. Yeah, I guess you can say im scared of anything that flies. Thankfully we dont have flying squirrels here in Sweden. I just really like the nature and everything it has to offer. So plants, trees, mushrooms (Especially this time of the year), but most of all, the animals. So everything I read or hear about it, I save to my brains to the "things I like about nature" folder. My dream home...I don't know, but not in a city, that's for sure. To crowded although there are living much of animals in cities too if you know where to search for them. But somewhere near a forest, heather or lake would be great of course. I only need a nice girlfriend with the same interest and lots of money for a nice house. (Not a girlfriend with lots of money, but AND a lot of money) About macro photography, I have a bridge camera myself: Panasonic Lumix FZ200 and I use a macro lense converter. So that's not a real macro lense, but just a lense that's enlarging everthing a couple of times. Maybe it's something you could use too. They're also much cheaper then real macro lenses but work great as you could see in my videos. Photos about skies and stars are great too. I made some sky photos but never about stars, though I'm also interested in those, but I barely know something about it. Only that it's a very strange thing. It's like looking into the paste as there are stars you see that don't even exist anymore, but we still see the light! And that space is a never ending thing as far as we know...that's just scary..  francienThose are some very nice pictures! I only don't reconize the owl, are you sure it's a wild one? Looks like it's sitting on a "bird of prey" show thingy.. It doesn't look as a Dutch owl. That picture of the Eurasian oystercatcher (Scholekster) is very beautiful too! Good thing you rescued the grey heron. I ones had a Eurasian jackdaw I raised. It became very tame. He was sleeping in a tree in the backgarden and in the morning he would pat against the window with his beak to tell me he was hungry. Unfortunatly he flew away one morning and was gone for 4 days. Then he was back home for 2 more days and then went away again. Never saw him again. I hope he joined the other wild jackdaws and didn't got eaten by a cat or something  |

Bakie I live on 200 acres in the middle of a forest, 2 kilometer driveway with a gate, You would love it out here! There is so much wildlife, trees, nature out here! Here is a pic I just took a few weeks ago, when the leaves where at their prime!

I envy everyone living in rural areas, the city is so noisy, and there's way too much light at night. Especially from those stupid ultra bright billboards that for some reason MUST be flashing, sometimes making me wonder if there's a thunderstorm in the distance but no, it's just a stupid ad. I can only imagine how much power those things use... They're basically like 10 large TVs combined into one big screen.
Perhaps I should look for a job in some rural area and just move...

sweetsorrowsimsThat looks beautiful! I think I DO would love it out there! When do you have time? If you got some more awesome pics, you know where to place them! paikaI'm very happy I don't live in a big city but in a small village that's surounded by lots of nature. I just have to walk like 10 minutes to get into the forest.

Fortunate I suppose! :D

I wasn't sure either I thought he was more brown..have to dig out my photo's. Haven't had the time yet,if I put the wrong photo I'm sorry about that than, because I don't want to fool anyone |

Ohh WOw what a tread! vieuwing all the great pictures, it's amazing! You know a lot of animals Bakie! Incredible. I put my five cents inhere. I'm living in SW of the Netherlands, these photo's are taken in my neighborhood some a long while ago but that doesn't matter.
Some frogs in my pond and the blue Heron I found at the side of a busy road, he was hit by a car. I turned around and picked him up. At home he liked the fish..he is save and fly's around again. The horse is ours he is 19 years now and sooo sweet!
I hope he did find a girl and made little baby roe deers too.
