Squirrel teeth and other amazing photos!

A selection of shots here today that you might also find to be wonderful!

This is our wild Squirry resting in the morning sun and yes, she does have teeth! Although she is getting on in age, as those teeth were once razor sharp!

A mix and match of photos here so that you don't become bored. I mean, who wants to see squirrel teeth only as there are so many other beauties available in nature. I did not want to stick to one subject only and even included an early evening set of photos too. Come and see something different!

Hope you put your shades on to have a look at this shot Lol.

I took about 20 shots of squirry in the tree this morning, but these 3 will do!

Now we move one to another wonder!

See the yellow circle? There is something amazing inside that circle!

IMG_4297.JPG

Ah! Here it is, a pair of Cape Skimmer males and my first to see this!

IMG_4333.JPG

Beautiful...and they kept low to avoid the very strong winds that we have had today!

And now another something else!

IMG_4274.JPG

I have not planted this blue plant gift out yet, but found this "Fruit Chafer" stripping its pollens!

IMG_4282.JPG

Of course he saw me and I got this shot just before he flew away!

Finally, here are the evening photos that I mentioned!

IMG_4436.JPG

A Hadeda Ibis crossing a hazy late sky as we have had very hot days lately!

IMG_4443.JPG

Even the late afternoon moon was covered by the heat haze.

Now I didn't plan this shot and it was a lucky bonus! I saw the late goose coming over, took a quick shot and saw on my PC that I also got the moon in the background!

I follow the same system every day with my camera. First I take my shots as I can during the day, then at home I transfer the camera's content into my PC. I then select the photos for a post, crop them, sign them and finally upload them like you see here. It normally takes me about an hour or two to do a post, as I type painfully slow, with only one finger Lol. But I don't allow this to get me down, as just by having a look at the hundreds of posts and comments that I have done, will show you that we were all created to overcome any obstacles in life.

Now you may laugh because I only type with one finger, but I have a condition called "ambidextery" meaning that I have two right hands and two left hands. My left hand is my right hand and visa versa. So hahaha, I can type with one finger using either hand Lol. Something funny here is that I cannot wear anything with many pockets. Both hands puts anything where they like and I am forever searching for stuff in my pockets. A bit of a mess, especially when one is in a bit of a hurry and you need the car keys Lol.

Note: All photos except the first one (source cited) are my own, unedited and only cropped for uploading purposes. Camera used; Canon Powershot SX60 HD on Auto and Macro settings!

We hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and thank you for visiting a post by @papilloncharity

    Wildlife photography might be my favourite kind of photography. I loved these shots, specifically the one with that bird and the moon in it, I know how hard it is to get a shot like that lol.

    This has definitely inspired me to dust off my camera, wonder around and see what I can get!

  • @audiefaith(52)· 2370d

    What amazing and beautiful pictures.!! Can you recommend a camera for a brand new beginner? I have only taken pics with my lg smart phone, and have found out I really enjoy taking pictures. I am wanting to buy a camera yet I know nothing about them or for that matter photography....lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • @joanstewart(75)· 2370d

    Munchy crunchy good teeth to chew on, I need some of those... How envious I am of sharks being able to replace (at no cost), or strong teeth like Squirry, damned teeth are the bane of my life.

    Nonetheless this posts has proven just how well you manage using both hands even when they confuse each other!

    Have a glorious Sunday and a smashing new start to the month of March. Oh yes, not to forget hello to Marian and Troy!

    Great photos of beautiful nature. I love those blue flowers, do you know the name of the plant? It’s not familiar to me.

  • @abitcoinskeptic(75)· 2371d

    Another thing we have in common I am also ambidextrous, but I dont have the problem with finding things in my pockets, some things I do mostly left handed and others mostly right when walking around or putting things in my pockets, but other things like settign the table I struggle with as I just cant get into my head which side the knife of fork should be on, one day I doit one way and the next meal the opposite lOL

    Gorgeous shots

  • @porters(73)· 2371d

    Cool! I have never seen a close up of squirrel's teeth although I suspect they are very powerful for what they eat, cracking open nuts and such! Beautiful shot of the squirrel in the tree with the lichen on it! Is it a very old tree our is that quite common to have lichen growth like that on the trees in South Africa? Dragon fly and fruit chafer photos are beautiful too but I am rather parcial to bird pictures - especially photos with birds and the moon! I took a photo of that same moon but on the other side of the earth where we had a mild day (finally have temperatures above freezing) and very clear skies. I'm going to include it in my post today along with my #featheredfriends post. Thanks for sharing and also for writing such wonderful additions to you photographs even if you only type with one finger (on each hand)!
