A Great Egret approaches a snag for a landing at Little Creve Coeur Marsh in St Louis, Missouri. I really like this version in black and white. Check out those water droplets coming off of both feet as he opens his claws to grab a perch!
on the 'plains' you can see the storm fronts approaching for miles, this one came in fast with some high winds......I put up the 'sparrow hawk' house maybe eight years ago to no avail but the flickers like it....
More images from my recent visit to the CRC (Cdn Raptor Conservancy).

LMS Ivatt Class 2MT No.46443
(built in Crewe in 1950)
46443 climbs away from Victoria Bridge approaching Arley Station. (SVR/MF Charter 26/11/2010)
at the end of the first day and after a long hike through unknown parts of Holland. We had to climb the steps you can spot in the middle to get in town. Of course you can get into town by car, bike, motor or whatever, even by boat for Willemstad has a wonderful harbour.
Named after Willem van Oranje (William of Orange) who received this town, then called Ruigenhil, in 1582 as a compensation for the loss of properties in the war with Spain. Willem gave order to make walls and canals around the village and since then the name changed into Willemstad.
Used amongst others a texture of Spektoral Addendum

Approaching Storm after a few hours it did arrive with a lot of rain, thunder and lightning, shot in North Carolina.
Canadian National train No. 485, with welded rail up front, approaches Windy Point west of Devona, Alberta, on August 5, 2016. A formidable wall in the background is the Miette Range, while the train is tracing the shore of Jasper Lake, which is a “wide spot” in the Athabasca River in scenic Jasper National Park.
Union Pacific 9336, 9316, and 6242 pull 90 loads of Sufco longwall coal along 10,883 ft. Bald Mountain, east of Starr, Utah the evening of June 23, 1991. The train loaded earlier in the day at Sharp, Utah, and will be delivered the following day to the North Valmy Generating Station in Nevada.
Technically not a great shot, but I had to snap this very angry looking sky (and the strange cloud of rainfall(?) over the water---Firth of Clyde), towards Arran just as the sun was setting. I grabbed this shot from an open window upstairs...and then quickly battened down the hatches before the weather arrived!
