Η κατεξοχήν κρεοπαραγωγός φυλή αγελάδων "Limousin" κατάγεται από την ομώνυμη περιοχή της Γαλλίας. Πρόκειται για ζώα με κόκκινο τρίχωμα που φημίζονται για την μυϊκή τους διάπλαση, την γρήγορη πάχυνση και το πιό άπαχο κρέας της κατηγορίας ώστε έχουν αποτελέσει σημείο αναφοράς στην σύγχρονη αγορά. "Limousin" is a meat-producing breed of cattle originating from the region of France. These red-coated animals are renowned for their muscular build, rapid fattening and the leanest meat in the category, making them a benchmark in the modern market. Η ευτυχής φωτογραφική συγκυρία προέκυψε κατά την επιστροφή από άλλον κύριο φωτογραφικό προορισμό όταν διακρίναμε λίγο βαθύτερα από την κύρια οδική αρτηρία την μικρή φάρμα με τα πανέμορφα , άκρως "συνεργάσιμα" ζώα μπροστά από δύο παραδοσιακές πέτρινες αγροικίες στο χωριό Καππάς του Νομού Καρδίτσας. The fortunate photographic opportunity arose on the way back from another main photographic destination when we spotted a small farm with beautiful, highly "cooperative" animals, a little further from the main road, in front of two traditional stone farmhouses in the village of Kappas in the prefecture of Karditsa. Ο πλουσιοπάροχα στολισμένος ουρανός και ο θερμός,χαμηλός,πλάγιος φωτισμός του δειλινού συνέβαλαν τα μέγιστα στην απόλαυση αυτής της προσδόκητης φωτογραφικής εμπειρίας. The richly decorated sky and the warm, low, oblique lighting of the evening contributed greatly to the enjoyment of this anticipated photographic experience.

I've posted pictures of this antique truck in the past. I've not shot it in Winter before. It is parked in front of New Salem Cider in New Salem, MA.
The setting is gorgeous, the cider is delicious and the staff are wonderful. Visit ANY time of year.

A friend and I just got back from Ottawa where we my friend JP and I were guided by Rick Dobson, a wonderful guide and friend who I’ve been with several times. Conditions vary so much in Ottawa that the weather becomes part of the challenge and part of the “fun”. We never did get the pink skies that sometimes occur that far north but had a variety of conditions to work with. (I could have said “contend” with.) Rick is a professional who does everything in his power to give us photo ops and on this trip with worked together with his friend and professional guide, Marc, who was leading a group from Madrid. We found and photographed Snowy, Great Gray and Barred owls and didn’t have a day that we were skunked. Please let me know if you’d like Rick’s information and I’d be pleased to share it. His email is also shown above.

This is one of my favorite Snowy shots of the trip. It’s a female, identified by the dark bars on her feathers. Males are almost pure white on their belly and have faint dark markings on their top side. I’ve read that compared to other owls, they are more agile and often prey upon other birds. (Nyctea scandiaca) (Sony a1M2, 200-600 lens @300mm, 1/3200 second, f/6.3, ISO 1600)

We were interested in how Snowy Owls compared in size to Great Gray Owls and while there we read that the largest is the Eurasian Eagle-Owl, which can top out at over 10 lbs with a wingspan of up to 6.7’. While the largest individuals can win the size comparison, Blakinston’s Fish Owls usually grow heavier, also up to 10 lbs with a wingspan up to 6.1’. Next are Great Gray Owls, over 4 lbs and a wingspan up to 5’, and last of the big guys, Snowy Owls, up to 6.5 lbs with a wingspan up to 6’. (www.birdzilla.com/learn/largest-owls-in-the-world/)
