Perched and posed. Whenever we’ve actively searched for Grasshopper Sparrows in meadows and high grasses, they’ve eluded us. Both times we’ve spotted one they’ve been perched along a roadside, the first in a bush and this one on a mossy post.
This morning, 06.06.24, we crossed the friendship border tunnel from Greece to Bulgaria 🇬🇷 —> 🇧🇬
Soon after the border we met a very old man on a very old bicycle without gear and without breaks 😱 He was so funny, talked with hand and feet and in his own language, we answered in swissgerman 😅
And finally, after a couple of km in this new country we could leave the mainroad and cycle (+ hike a bit) on a super nice offroad track through green nature and shade giving woods 😍
Witness the enchanting beauty of a sunrise over the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia with this captivating photograph. The reflection of the sunlight on the clouds in the valley below adds a cool, magical touch. Perfect as wall art for your home, office, hotel, or any hospitality interior, it brings a serene and mystical atmosphere to any space.
Looking quite dapper and healthy. For scale, it's about the same size as the fawns right now. (Seriously.) Which is to say, a bit larger than a terrier.
I believe this is a black-tailed jackrabbit, common in northern California.
