Hi Guys!

Welcome to my Saturday! It a beautiful Spring Day outside the sun is shining the birds are out in abundance and it is one of those days it just makes you glad to be alive.
:sun:

In my backyard at the moment I have a Hollywood personality Starling, eventho I know that they are a pest birds, I believe they where introduced from Europe like so many other plants and species before. I heard that they are in plague proportions in New York and some of their parks and buildings are over run with Starlings, defacating and leaving mess ever where. Just goes to show, that everything in Nature is a delicate balance and if you tip the scales ever so slightly, nature alters. Anyway, back to my Starling, he turned out to be a she! I sprung her this morning with a tuff full of building materials in her beak. Usually she sits in the trees outside my bedroom window and puts on a song and dance display, flapping her wings wildly. I have fallen in love with this little girl, eventho, I understand that she is a pest. She has the the most amazing irredescant plumage that shimmers irridescent opal green on her black feathers, so stunning in the sunlight. Will update a photo of her soon.
:sun:

And I discovered the North American Magies, with their extra long tails have a beautiful shimmer of irridescant blue between their wings, so beautiful. Unlike the Australian Magpie, that has a shorter tail and is still Pie Balded, black and white. Australian Magpies sing a yondling song, unlike their North American counterparts. Australian Magpies, "Maggies" as we call them also gather in large flocks and love the life of surburbia, often seen on telegraph wires, yoddling all in harmony. Their favourite time to yoddle is the break of dawn, that is their morning wake-up song. Not apprecaited by some.
:sun:

Before I go I would like to share with you this stomach churning video of an most amazing walking trail. "Tell me what you think?"

Well that is wrap!

FEATURES

Through my travels around the world I have been priveleged to witness the absolute beuaty in Nature, through varying landscapes,. From the tropical Rainforests of Thailand, to the sheer beauty of the New Zealand Alps, to the barren, remoteness of the Australian outback, to the awe inspiring Grandeur of the Grand Canyon.

When I view some of the most outstanding photographs of natural landscapes it takes my breath away. Every landscape is ultimately viewed different throught different peoples eyes. The photos make me reminise about my travels, for a brief while I have put up my backpack, not my wanderlust. I would like to preview some of the most spectacular Nature Imagines on DevaintArt.

On a parting note, I throughly recommend every one to travel, just get out there to witness this amazing world of ours in all its beauty.
