Little Blue Heron
Ocean City, New Jersey
The adult finally made a couple of appearances and fed the young ones.
By all appearances smoke from a distant fire influenced the light that was reaching Lone Peak. The ridge behind me, however, was preventing the lower cirque from showing such unusual colors.

To all appearances, this is really a black moth with white-tipped wings, but in certain light, a beautiful blue can be picked up. I could see this slightly, but it really came out in a few shots.
(see photo in comments for black appearance)
HWW!

Actually a beautiful evening mood - a few clouds, ripe grain, or harvested fields - actually an idyll. But appearances are deceptive, because only a few kilometers to the left the forest of Saxon Switzerland is on fire! I hope that the fire will soon be brought under control and extinguished, because with every square meter of burning forest we lose a piece of unique nature.
Eigentlich eine schöne Abendstimmung - ein paar Wölkchen, reifes Getreide, bzw. abgeerntete Felder - eigentlich eine Idylle. Aber der Schein trügt, denn nur ein paar Kilometer weiter links brennt der Wald der Sächsischen Schweiz! Ich hoffe, dass es bald gelingt, den Brand unter Kontrolle zu bringen und zu löschen, denn mit jedem Quadratmeter brennendem Wald geht uns ein Stück einzigartige Natur verloren.
to all appearances
peace will look poor
and quite weak,
but in effect it beats all.
In tenacity and courage
it surpasses all ...

We set up for photos next to a small pond area where ducks had been active as the sun went down behind us. Shovelers and Blue-winged Teal both made appearances. Quivira NWR, Kansas
...aka "Hyacinth Bokeh", LOL. My overseas contacts won't have a clue what I'm on about, nor will a lot of my local ones(no surprise there, then!), so here is a clip from one of Britain's comedy greats, IMHO :-)
Harry was a funny guy, can count on him to have an extra Ace, I hope Jokers are Wild wherever you are.
Harry Laverne Anderson (October 14, 1952 – April 16, 2018) was an American actor, comedian, and magician. He is best known for the lead role of Judge Harry Stone on the 1984–1992 television series Night Court, and later starred in the sitcom Dave's World from 1993 to 1997.
In addition to eight appearances on Saturday Night Live between 1981 and 1985, Anderson had a recurring guest role as con man Harry "The Hat" Gittes on Cheers, toured extensively as a magician, and did several magic/comedy shows for broadcast, including Harry Anderson's Sideshow (1987). He played Richie Tozier in the 1990 miniseries It, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name.

Even after selling off a portion of the Saginaw Sub from Flint to Saginaw in 2005 to Lake State Railway (operated at the time as Saginaw Bay Southern), and even the rest of the Saginaw Sub from Flint to Novi, CSX power still makes pretty regular appearances on the line. Coming down from Gavilion in Saginaw, this loaded CSX express grain train crosses the Cass River through Bridgeport and along the wood pile flood plain bridge that keeps the tracks above high water. The freshly rebuilt and repainted MAC was only a couple months removed from the shops.
Due to various challenges lately, it's been a while since Sprocket (left) and Shutter have made Caturday appearances. This time around, the girls got their opportunity.
I am always grateful for hot tips about wildlife. In May, my friend Pat told me that she and Maurice had seen seven Porcupines along a stretch of gravel road in Grasslands Park. I drove out there two days later and saw three, one of which was close enough to photograph from my rolling red Toyota car blind.
It was evening and the sun was already behind the hills. I used a bean bag to steady the lens, and bumped the ISO to bring my shutter up to a useable speed, applying some noise reduction later in post processing. Porky had just crossed the road in front of me, and was waddling away; I focused in the hope that he'd stop and look back. Which he did. You have to be lucky.
The Porcupine is Canada's second largest rodent, next to the Beaver. Both live in my area, along with the Muskrat, Prairie Vole, White-footed Mouse, Black-tailed Prairie Dog, Richardson's Ground Squirrel, and a few other species. A wealth of rodents - and, of course, their predators, which also make regular guest appearances in front of my lens...

Despite appearances, the cockpit section of this aircraft was constructed largely of wood! During WW2, the de Havilland company devised methods of using plywood and balsa to form light and strong structures suitable for aircraft manufacture, the most famous example being the Mosquito. After the war, as the company workforce still had the skills to work with wood they continued using it (at least to some extent) in the earliest jet aircraft. Early jet engines lost power through the use of long jet pipes, so for the dH Vampire family of designs, the tail plane was extended out on booms either side of the exhaust. Other early jet aircraft designs of the era split the exhaust laterally and exited it just behind the wings on either side, continuing the fuselage back to carry the tailplane (eg the Hawker Sea Hawk). An advantage of jets was that the high ground clearance for large propellers was no longer needed, meaning the undercarriage legs could be shortened, reducing weight and making servicing easier. The pilot's forward visibility was greatly improved by the use of tricycle undercarriage making ground handling much safer.
Vampires first flew in 1943, entered service in 1945 and were finally retired from the RAF in 1955. Over 3,000 of various marks were built, serving in the air forces of more than a dozen countries.
On my new pole put up specially.
His appearances are highly unpredictable. A week can go by and he will suddenly appear. One thing I can generally predict is that if he comes in once, he will probably come in several times over a fairly short period so I can grab my camera and get out there.
South/central New York is an area where the weather is predominately with gray skies and most likely, some sort of precipitation. Such is life in that area for all and it is something you must get accustomed to. As a young railroad photographer it posed posed many challenges as the sun would make appearances around once every ten days. It didn't stop me however, because one also must pass the boredom of the long winters.
On this day in October of 1979, old man winter is paying an early visit to Richfield Jct, NY as the Conrail local from Utica heads for Sangerfield. A stop is made here to set off a car for the Central New York Railroad.
Toronto at 6am - despite appearances, the CN Tower (500 metres tall) has not been attached to end of this railway bridge (10 metres tall).
Tricky shot...
Despite appearances the light wasnt good and it was one of those 'moments' to decide whether to risk a slow shutter to retain some quality., or use a faster shutter to reduce motion blur
I went for the former and luckily despite the Stags size and weight he paused just for a split second whilst on two legs enabling me to get a shot off
The Tystie is surely Oban's signature bird.As such it is important to ensure you are in pristine order at all times.
An important stop off for any visitor to the town, has to be the sea wall opposite the cathedral.
During the spring these beauties gather to begin the next generation.
Although present in the bay all year round Spring is surely the best time to see them.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.

Wildlife trust info:
Despite appearances, the slow worm is actually a legless lizard, not a worm or a snake! Look out for it basking in the sun on heathlands and grasslands, or even in the garden, where it favours compost heaps.
