Unusual reception, Alila Villas Hadahaa, Maldives


So far, this is the second biggest Northern Raven feather found from the latest excursion. Even with my eyes wide shut, just by the smell, I can guest it is one. Definitely going right away in my collection.
Another small natural undisturbed lake found, surrounded by mountains. It is very peaceful, quiet and so energizing that I could stay around here all afternoon.
Pumped up the volume a bit higher and just listen. Absolutely nothing, no noise at all.


Wolfbane Flower?
I'm not an expert in wild flowers but these look like the wolfbane ones who's most species are extremely poisonous and must be dealt with, very carefully. They are also native to the mountainous parts of the Northern Hemisphere which we are in so, just taking pictures for now.

Wolverines?
Many babies Wolverines have been seen in the Grand Valley of Chertsey this season. They are cute but extremely dangerous and powerful. Any kids or small pets, cats or dogs, shouldn't be left outside unattended.
This is the perfect kind of space used from them to built a nice comfy home. Especially with that strong smell of wild animal surfing around here, I wouldn't be surprise to see one of them.
Ok now, who will go first and have a look so we can be sure?

When I'm in the woods, I'm always looking for feathers to add to my collection and the bigger one the better it is. The idea of finding the smallest feather never occur to me, but today it happened and I'm more than happy.
Could say that it's coming from a Mourning Dove cause they're many in this area but, who knows.


#WoodenSnowshoes
Traditional old fashion snowshoes are still great for hard-packed mountain trails. But in soft snow, particularly when pulling toboggan, these are the best you can find for wilderness travel away from packed trails.

#Spider
I've been watching this web evolution for a couple of days without seeing the builder. And today, I finally was able to get a good look of it's owner. It is a black and yellow garden spider (scientific name Argiope aurantia) aka Silver Face.
It is said that these spiders may bite if disturbed or harassed, but the venom is harmless to non-allergic humans. Otherwise, equivalent to a bee sting.
