Enjoy nature year around. If you can not take trip a walk to relax ,walk and talk with family too. These are great pictures of Alaska Foxes Gordon Kilgore [email protected]... Cross Fox Until an August 2020 trip to Alaska, I had never heard of a cross fox, much less seen one. The cross fox happens to be one cool looking fox. After coming home and doing some research it seems that a cross fox is not that rare. It has been estimated that about 30% of the red fox population has this mutation. The cross fox is a partially melanistic color variant of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes). It has a long dark strip running down its back, intersecting another strip to form a cross over its shoulders. For those who want to know even more, melanin is a color mutation that happens in the skin and makes the skin and hair a dark color. Cross foxes have partial melanin, where some of the black/dark pigments meet the usual lighter colors. Cross foxes live mainly in the northern regions of North America such as Canada and Alaska. At one time cross foxes could be found in some of the northwestern states such as Utah, but the fur trade wiped them out. They have also been seen in parts of Europe such as Scandinavia and Finland. Cross foxes have pretty much the same behaviors as the common red fox and dig dens to have their kits. Adults sleep mostly outside in wooded areas curling up with their bushy tail over their face. It was early afternoon on August 20, 2020 when I, along with four other photographers in a small boat, happened upon a red fox hunting along the Geographic Harbor shoreline in Katmai National Park, Alaska. The fox was hunting for Arctic lamprey (Lethenteron camtschaticum) also called a rock eel. These small eels slide under rocks as the tide goes out and remain under the damp rocks until high tide arrives hours later. It was interesting watching the clever fox flip over rocks looking for eels. We had been watching and photographing our red fox for about a half hour when to our good fortune a cross fox arrived. Both foxes seemed to accept each other and began hunting side by side. I was most fortunate to be able to photograph a red fox flipping rocks looking for rock eels, and even more fortunate to be able to photograph a cross fox doing the same. However, to have both foxes hunting together was a once in a lifetime experience for this photographer.

Like the old westerns? Check out this week pictures and some history of the old west from Gordon Kilgore [email protected] Long Branch Saloon... About four years ago I featured Dodge City, Kansas as the 32nd Picture of the Week. The picture you saw was a view of the main street buildings with a wagon parked out front. This week we will return to Dodge City and have a look at one of the historic saloons. Before we go inside, have a look at the boardwalk along the main street. The saloon sign in this picture is the Occident, however the most historic and refined saloon in Dodge City in the 1880’s was the Long Branch. In the winter, the Long Branch Saloon obtained ice from a nearby river, but in summer ice was brought in from the mountains of Colorado which was not an easy feat in those days. Whether you realize it or not, you might be familiar with the saloon’s name because a saloon using the same name was featured in most episodes of the long-running radio and TV series, Gunsmoke. The Long Branch Saloon you now find in Dodge City was modeled after period saloons and is furnished with a real 1881 bar. The original saloon was purchased in 1878 by wealthy farmer and rancher Chalkley Beeson and co-owner William Harris. If you look above the bar you will see two golden eagles in bronze which were once owned by Beeson (you can only see part of the eagle on the left). The saloon’s name came from Harris’s hometown of Long Branch, NJ. The saloon prospered until the railroad replaced the cattle drive. The original saloon burned down in 1885. Many of the Old West characters passed through Dodge City and spent time in the Long Branch Saloon. These characters include Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Clay Allison, Frank Loving, Marshal Charlie Bassett and the Masterson brothers, Ed, James, and Bat. There was a historic gunfight at the Long Branch Saloon on April 5, 1879 between Frank Loving and Levi Richardson where Richardson was killed. Loving was not charged because it was deemed that he acted in self-defense.

When capturing video or pictures of wild life in their natural habitat exercise caution. This was an amazing example of the stories that can come out of wildlife photography. Do you have any you would like to share? Thank you to local photographer Gordon Kilgore for sharing this story about his recent bear encounters! [email protected] CRUNCH! Mighty Tough Greens... It seemed like a great idea at the time. On a recent trip to Alaska, our group of five were set up along a small river flowing into Geographic Harbor in Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska. GPS: ( 587'29.484" N 15436'12.522" W ) Our goal was to photograph brown bears fishing for salmon. This was the time of the year when salmon return to the freshwater stream where they were born to lay their eggs. The grizzly bears show up hoping for a good meal. On this day, August 23, 2020 we had chosen a location on a rock bar with water flowing on either side of the bar. The spot had proven to be a place where bears liked to fish, so the chances of bears coming by looking for fish were high. This general area was teaming with bears, in fact it was rare not to always see a bear in some direction. At times, a half dozen or more bears would be visible. Dee Ann Pederson, the organizer of our small group, had recently purchased a GoPro camera and wanted to give it a try. She set the camera along the edge of the stream and placed some beach green vegetation around it for camouflage. The camouflage was not for bears but for our pictures. We did not want the GoPro visible in every one of our photos. Dee Ann tried to trigger the GoPro from her iPhone. Seems that there was a Blue Tooth maximum range of about 20 feet, so she was having problems working the camera from where she was sitting which was about 30 feet away. A mother bear with three cubs came by and the cubs splashed around in front of the camera, but Dee Ann was unable to activate the video capture. She made some changes and sat back to try again. Along came a large bear down the middle of the stream. Bears have one of the best noses in the animal kingdom, so it was not unusual that it smelled the camera and walked over to have a look. One brief look then a quick chomp, and the bear walked away. Nope, not as tasty as a fresh salmon. We could hear the crunch when the bear’s teeth destroyed the LCD screen on the GoPro. The other side of the GoPro was also scratched and damaged. The good news was that the camera was still able to function. The bad news was that Dee Ann had not activated the camera prior to the encounter with the bear, so no video pictures were captured. Bummer! A video inside the mouth of a bear would be something most unique.

With all the heat let's look at how the cold birds live! Gordon Kilgore thanks for sharing adventures! www.gordonkilgore.com King Penguins... Of the 17 species of penguins, the king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) is the second largest. While it appears somewhat like the larger four-foot tall emperor penguin, it is about a foot shorter, more colorful, and certainly can be found in more locations. I have photographed the king penguin in several places in Antarctica, the sub-Antarctic islands of Macquarie and Prince Edwards islands, the Falkland Islands, and South Georgia Island. These attached pictures are from South Georgia Island. To stand on a high point and look across Salisbury Plain on South Georgia Island with a colony of 100,000 plus breeding pairs of king penguins is a sight to behold. Nowhere in the world have I witnessed such a spectacular scene. The brown birds are immature chicks which are still growing their permanent feathers to allow them to swim in the sea. Like other penguins, king penguins feed on small fish, krill, and squid. Also, like other penguins they cannot fly. Using their wing-like flippers, they are fast swimmers and can dive to great depts of 500 feet or more. Their natural predators are leopard seals and killer whales. To explain picture E, it seems that male penguins will see who can stand the tallest as a sign of superiority. These two birds appear to be about even. See more

Take time to to see nature every chance you can. A special creature might show up! thank you Gordon Kilgore for sharing and glad the fawn has a happy ending www.gordonkilgore.com Fawn in the Flowers... A month ago, we had bunnies in a bucket. This week we have a fawn in the flowers. The story goes something like this: My friend, Amy worked part time for a local veterinarian clinic. A man arrived one morning with a young white-tailed deer fawn. He had found the fawn on his property and had tried to feed and care for it. His skills did not match the deer’s needs and soon he realized that the deer was beginning to weaken. Not knowing what else to do, he took the fawn to the vet to have it euthanized. Amy heard the discussion and asked if she could take the fawn, and all agreed. Amy can work magic with flowers. I know of no one better. So why not a fawn? Amy and her husband live near Newnan, GA on acreage with horses, donkeys, dogs, and plenty of wildlife, so a young fawn would only be one more mouth to feed. At the time that Amy took charge it was estimated that the fawn was about two weeks old. With Amy’s and Robert’s every six hour around the clock bottle feeding goats milk schedule, the fawn began to rally and got progressively steadier on its legs. I had been photographing flowers in Amy’s garden and saw an opportunity with the little fawn. It seemed to me that if the fawn were standing in a flower bed it would make a nice photo. I envisioned Amy holding the fawn by its middle to back end while I made a head and neck shot surrounded by flowers. Wonder of wonders, the little fawn did not need to be restrained. He seemed go enjoy posing for the camera. The fawn was such a great model that we placed him in five different locations. I have attached a picture from four of the flower beds plus one more picture showing my wife, Margaret, two days later bottle feeding the little guy. Amy later found a place that rehabilitates animals and took the fawn to join two more fawns that they are being raising with hope of release.

Traveling through photos is a great way to experience cultures from around the world right now! Thank you Gordon Kilore for sharing these amazing pictures! www.gordonkilgore.com Egyptian Folk Lore Dance... While in Egypt, on April 30, 2013 we attended what was called an Arabian Nights Whirling Dervish Show. It could also be billed as an Egyptian folk lore show. So, who are the Whirling Dervish? It all began in the 13th century when a Sufi Muslim mystic and poet, Jalaluddin Rumi developed a dance. Rumi was born in Persia but was living in Konya, then the capital of the Turkish Seljuk Empire. He told his followers, There are many roads which lead to God. I have chosen the one of dance and music. His dance was called the sema, and it spread throughout the Ottoman Empire. The whirling dervishes are followers of the Islamic practice who engage in a form of prayer that requires the followers to spin until they have reached a kind of religious nirvana or ecstasy. I have seen an authentic whirling dervish dance in Turkey where the dancer wears a white skirt and tall camel’s hair conical hat. The performance you see here is designed and produced for tourist, and is certainly more colorful and entertaining than a real whirling dervish dance. With the disclaimer out of the way, let us look at three different views of the same dancer. The space was an indoors room with dark walls. The only light illuminated the dancer. To have a better vantage point I moved up front and sat on the floor in front of the audience. My first shots were with a flash which stopped much of the movement and added light to the entire scene (Picture A). Noticing the colorful movements of the costume I decided to put the flash aside and take a longer exposure using only ambient light. This resulted in a pleasing colorful design with blurred motion (Picture B). Satisfied with the results, I then decided to try something in between. Still without flash but using a slightly faster shutter speed, the dancer was captured just sharp enough to be pleasing to the eye but with sufficient blur and motion to show the movement of the dance (Picture C).

Great information on Fine Art Photography From Gordon Kilgore www.gordonkilgore.com No doubt there is much discussion as to what exactly is fine art photography. For me it is NOT about simply recording a subject. It goes beyond the literal representation of a subject. Sure, I do begin with a scene or subject that is generally recognizable by most people, a part of a whole. Typically, the result will be only a portion or section of a subject. I see shapes, colors, lines, and f...orms all blending into a final piece of art. The result is generated when certain controls are applied, such as selective focus, cropping, and angle of view. So, fine art for me is not capturing what the camera sees but capturing what I see. It is a statement of that vision. What I present this week does have a theme in that it is all plant based subject material taken this year. I believe that what the subject actually is becomes less important than the end result of my vision. I know that some people will want to know so I do identify each subject in the technical data below. See more

If birds had arms...

Brighten your day with these adorable bunnies. Thank you for sharing Gordon Kilgore www.gordonkilgore.com Bucket of Bunnies... At 7 AM on a typical Friday morning, workers at a nearby greenhouse began arranging plants for sale. A worker picked up a one-gallon container of glossy abelia (A. xgrandiflora) and something just did not look right. A closer inspection revealed four baby eastern cottontail rabbits about five inches long snuggled together in the container. Oops, this plant will now stay where it is, so the container with the rabbits was put back where it was originally located. Picture A is the abelia containers. You can see that this gracefully arching shrub makes it difficult to see inside the container from any distance. The Eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus) does not dig burrows for its nest but makes a scratched-out depression in a clump of grass or under a bush. This mother rabbit was creative and decided that inside a bucket under a bush would be perfect. A cottontail mother does not stay in the nest most of the time. She stays away but does come back a couple of times a day to feed the babies. After the babies (called kits) have their eyes open and are a few weeks old they usually begin venturing out around their nest. In this case the kits could not wander around since once out of the container, the height of the container would make getting back in impossible, unless of course the mother rabbit picks up each kit and puts it back inside the container again. Pictures B & C were taken on a Friday afternoon and their eyes were not completely opened. Pictures D & E were taken on Sunday evening two days later and by now all eyes were open. The kits had climbed over the edge of the container and tumbled to the ground. Now they were snuggled together on the ground next to the containers. Picture E was a curious kit who ventured out from the group to check me out. It was a quick check and then it returned to be with the others.

Who is waiting for Fall in Summer? Here is a small taste of colors ! Thank you Gordon Kilgore www.gordonkilgore.com... Fall Along the Douro River Both pictures were taken the same morning along the upper Douro River in Portugal. The Douro River valley is well known for its vineyards and wine production. As our riverboat sailed up the river, I spent my time out on deck photographing the passing scenes. The date was November 24, 2019. Picture A, the reflections in the river was taken at 8:39 AM when there was little wind and the water was still. Picture B, of the vineyards was taken at 10:01 AM with good soft side-lighting producing sufficient shadows to make the grape vines along the hills look more like a painting. The green trees in the upper right are olive trees.

We wish you a safe, happy & healthy 4th of July

STORY WITH PICTURES OF THE LAZY BIRD :) from Gordon Kilore www.gordonkilgore.com A Lazy Bluebird Did you know that birds can be slackers? For some reason I had always thought that birds and animals all were about the same in their parenting efforts. That is not the case.... I recently had the pleasure of spending time photographing nature in the wonderful backyard garden of a friend. She lives only a few miles from me, so it is very convenient to stop by often. There are several bird houses in her garden among her flowers. One of the houses has been occupied by a pair of Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia sialis) which are now raising their second family of the year. My goal was to photograph the birds approaching and leaving the bird house. The birds flying to the house with food for the chicks was the easiest because these bluebirds always flew first to one of several places in the garden. They took their perch and had a look around for danger before flying directly to the small opening in the bird house. Flying from the nest was another matter. Sometimes a head would stick out first before the bird took flight. Other times the bird would pop out of the hole in one swift movement and be gone. Timing and a quick shutter finger is needed, but another tricky part was the focus. There was insufficient time to auto focus so I had to pre-focus on the spot where I hoped the bird would be. Sometimes I was right but many times I was wrong. The computer delete button became my friend. I learned a lot about bird behavior during this exercise. I learned that birds can be slackers just like humans. I used a cable release to activate the shutter and had sat in a folding chair that I placed behind my tripod in the garden. I was far enough from the bluebird house so that they paid me no attention. These birds were also comfortable with people working around the garden. During a 1 hour and 7-minute period the female brought food for the six hungry chicks seven times. The male brought food only two times. The male flew in and out of the garden often, but most times he returned with no food and flew to a perch to preen. During the time that I was there the female did most of the work.Bluebirds are one of a few species of birds whose chicks produce fecal sacs. A fecal sac is sort of a bird diaper that comes out after each baby is fed. The baby sticks its rump up in the air offering the sac to the parent for removal. Keeps the nest clean. Pictures: A Female bluebird flying to nest box with worm in its beak. B. Female landing on entrance hole C. Female exiting the nesting box D. Male flying to nest with a moth in its beak E. Male flying out of nest with a feces sac in its beak

Looking more closely at the beauty of nature around us. What have you scene now that we have taken time to see our world around our homes.? Thank you Gordon Kilgore for sharing www.gordonkilgore.com Flower Abstracts Due to the coronavirus, trips have been cancelled, places are closed, and I have had time to do things that I often put off or neglected. I have always enjoyed photographing flowers, but it is a challenge to find a different angle or view. An alternate view may be... looking up from below or could be as simple as isolating just a small section of the flower using a macro lens. When we walk by a flower, we typically see the flower in its entirety, what might be called a portrait view of the flower. What could be safer these days than being outdoors in a garden? Most of these pictures are from my home garden and other local gardens of friends and neighbors. See more

Seeing places far away and being able to share them is one of best things about pictures. Thank you for sharing your pictures from a place many of us will never get a chance to visit Gordon Kilore www.gordonkilgore.com Borchgrevink’s Hut... As many of you know Antarctica is one of my favorite destination. I can recall at least four trips to that part of the world and there would be many more if it were not so expensive to do so. Today we visit the oldest exploration huts in Antarctica. The outside has been claimed by Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae). The Adélie penguins are found all along the coast of Antarctica but nowhere else in the world. The British Antarctic (Southern Cross) Expedition was led by Carsten Borchgrevink 1898-1900. They took two huts which were prefabricated back in Europe and re-assembled on Cape Adare, Northern Victoria Land, Antarctica. One hut was for living and the other for stores. At 5.5X6.5 meters (18X21 feet) this was a small space for 10 men to live in for a year. Off to the left are the remains of another hut built later by the Scotts Northern Party, the Terra Nova expedition of 1910-1913. However, this hut has not withstood the high winds of Cap Adare, so very little remains. This 10-man Southern Cross Expedition was scientific in nature with the goal of taking meteorological and magnetic observations, studying wildlife, and exploring the interior of the continent. Many of the scientific records have been lost but the expedition did manage several ‘firsts’. They were the first to erect a building on the continent, first to over-winter, and the first to use dogs, sledges, and skis. The cold dry air of Antarctica is perfect for preserving things that typically rot over time. The Antarctic Heritage Trust cataloged much of what was left inside the huts. One such find was a fruit cake wrapped in paper and encased in a tin box. The cake (probably left by the Northern Party) was said to look and smell edible even after 100 years. Another interesting find was a watercolor painting by Dr. Edward Wilson who died with Capt. Robert Falcon Scott and three others on their return from the South Pole in 1912. This 118-year-old painting was almost perfectly preserved. See more

Amazing pictures taken by Gordon Kilgore www.gordonkilgore.com Thank you for sharing it was amazing sight to see!... May 8, 2020 Flying Tribute Zoom and they are gone, but what they left behind is lasting. Early Saturday afternoon, May 2, 2020 metro Atlanta received a flyover by U.S. military fighter jets in formation. The occasion was a tribute to all the health workers on the front line of the coronavirus pandemic. I saw a map showing the direction of the flights and the approximate times the fighters would be in a few areas. It takes two of us these days to get anything done so it was Margaret who said that the jets were to fly over the hospital in Fayette County and complete the flyover at Piedmont Newnan Hospital about ten miles from home. Therefore, taking Margaret’s advice we chose to go to the Piedmont Newnan Hospital. Another thing that attracted me to this location was the open space around the hospital. No tall building to get in the way. Just by looking at the map and knowing east from west I knew from which direction the airplanes would be approaching. Margaret did not have a clue. We found a suitable vantage point and waited only about five minutes before we were rewarded. It went fast, eleven seconds from the first shot to the last. With so much negative things in the news lately this flyover left spectators with an incredibly positive feeling and a real sense of pride and patriotism. The Blue Angels are the U.S. Navy flight demonstration squadron and was initially formed in 1946, making it the second oldest formal aerobatic team in the world. The French Patrouille de France were the first, formed in 1931. The Thunderbirds, F-16 fighting falcons, are the air demonstration squadron of the U.S. Air Force. They were founded in 1953 and are based at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.

While it heats up outside check out these shots of Flora in Ice Thank you Gordon Kilgore ww.gordonkilgore.com Read till end and see if we can help him out:) Growing up and still living in Georgia, it is common where I live for most flowers to bloom in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. I was astonished during my first visit to the Artic so see flora thriving in the snow and ice.... Franz Josef Land is an island located in the Arctic Ocean. It is a Russian archipelago inhabited only by a few military personnel and located 560 miles (900 Kilometers) from the geographical North Pole. Eighty-five percent of the archipelago is glaciated so ice is the norm there. The islands have been a nature sanctuary since 1994 and in 2012 they became part of the Russian Arctic National Park. Franz Josef Land became a staging area for some of the early explorers trying to reach the North Pole, such as Fridtjof Nansen and the Nansen’s Fram expedition in 1893-1896. As you might expect, trees, shrubs, and tall plants cannot survive in such a harsh place. What is found there are small flowers, mosses, liverworts, lichen, and algae. Attached are four examples: A. Shown growing in frozen water is moss campion (silene acaulis) on Cape Norway. B. Also, on Cape Norway are these small yellow flowers (which I have been unable to identify) peaking up through the ice and snow. C. Found on Champ Island are these small red flowers (another I cannot identify). Most are living below the ice, but I was able to find an open area partly exposed. D. Another, mostly beneath the ice was what I believe to be a pincushion plant or Lapland diapensia. This too is on Champ Island. If anyone can identify these plants, please let me know. See more

From a far north perspective of Greenland road. Thank you for sharing Gordon Kilgore www.gordonkilgore.com The End of the Road You are looking down the Nuuk road in Nanortalik, Greenland. The road ends just past the group of houses. Look out in the distance and what do you see? Nothing but rocks and some vegetation along the hillsides and mountains. If you continue to walk beyond where the road ends you will get wet because over past the right side of the picture is the Labra...dor Sea, an arm of the North Atlantic Ocean. Nanortalik formerly called Nennortalik is a town on Nanortalik Island in southern Greenland. The town’s name means, Place were polar bears go. Nanortalik is the southernmost town in Greenland that has a population of 1,000 inhabitants or more. The 2013 census showed 1,377 people living there. Because of its location it was the first place in Greenland to be settled by the Norse in 1770, and one the last to be settled by the Inuit. It is located near the mouth of the 70 km Tasermiut Fjord. As I was walking along Nuuk road taking pictures, I noticed the nice S curve the road made between the houses. It seemed to me that if I found a higher vantage point the S curve would be more obvious. Venturing off the road into the grass I found a suitable rock to stand on. Yes, the picture improved but about that time a man and a woman came walking down the road. I waited until these people reached the first curve and captured what I considered my best rendering of the scene because the people added dimension and life to the picture. See more
