As we were walking around the Smithsonian Zoological Park, my wife noticed this little birdie just standing on a branch above us.. I was able to snap this shot, which I hope does justice to how pretty the bird was...
I also thought it was a nice touch that he had some dirt as if he had just eaten something...

After a major winter storm dumped several feet of snow in the Washington Cascades, the iconic Burlington Northern plow that is assigned to the Scenic Sub was brought out to clear the tracks after it was shutdown for over 48 hours due to downed trees, power outages, and trains stalling on the 2.2% grade between Skykomish and Scenic as the heavy "Cascade Cement" caused havoc on the railroads "longshot" planning.

Almost all done picking up falling leaves - HURRAH So far over the past week, I have filled eight 30-gallon yard waste bags. And thanks to the high winds we’ve been having, neighbors down the street I am sure are enjoying their Fall season The temps just dropped into the mid-20s f, so the last of the leaves can wait :-)

Camden's cleanup.
For the 3rd time in as many weeks Camden was yet again the victim of severe flooding.
The flood waters have yet again receded and now the huge clean up begins.
It seems that this time the waters were higher than previously experienced but it doesn't alter the fact that yet again Camden is faced with another clean up.
This is image depicts the cleanup operation that involved a water tanker using a high pressure hose to clean down the Argyle Street in readiness to re-open the access to Camden.

I caught the end of the shift meet up for the HuangGu district cleaning crew. The guy on the right who gave me the funny look turned and said "hey look a foreigner taking pictures" his mates ignored him.
Just outside Tunnel 2 at Plainview, Colorado, a wreck occurred on the Moffat Road in spring of 1972. Because locomotives were involved, wreck outfits from both Denver and Grand Junction were quickly called to the scene. Former D&SL 120-ton derrick 029 and D&RGW Bucyrus-Erie 250-ton “big hook” 028 from Grand Junction (nicknamed “Samson de Grande”) work in unison to lift Rio Grande GP35 No. 3043 back onto the rails. GP7 No. 5101 and a Great Northern boxcar are still left to be rescued on the rocky slope below. The action, of course, takes place on my N scale (1/160 scale) Moffat Road model railroad.
And now the cleanup begins. My office was without power for most of the day, so I worked remotely. Madison’s biggest utility had the most power outages in their history, dozens of roads were blocked and the entire Madison school district was closed. Ours was open but there seemed like fewer kids than usual - plenty of power outages in our city too.
crown of thorns are a variety of invasive starfish that destroy coral reefs. several years ago our diving group cmas philippines performed a crown of thorns cleanup drive. it is sad that there are moments we, as humans, need to make a choice on which lives we need to control on certain situations such as crown of thorns infestation. here are some images of that moment.
The Township Public Works crew were out with a backhoe that had a street sweeper on the front and a front end loader that would gather up the dirt that was a result of the winter maintenace this past winter season. I grabbed a few shots.

Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia floridana)
Photography and birding came in to my life together and almost on a whim. Learning about birds, and consequently the habitats they are in, has profoundly changed my life and opened my eyes to the consequences to wildlife of the ever increasing advancement of the human footprint.
This owl was another learning experience for me both in terms of increasing my knowledge of the species and the human/wildlife connection. His burrow is in a highly populated area of Florida, surrounded by houses and busy streets. While observing the owl, much to my horror, one of his neighbors opened the front door and out trots a Golden Retriever roaming free; unleashed. Of course the dog comes right over to where this owl and his family of owlets are. All the babies go scurrying back into the burrow but interestingly the two adults stayed put. Then the dog comes over and checks out my friend and me; sniffs around in the field a little more then finds a nice spot to do his "deed". Once that is done, he trots on back to his house.
I'm not thinking nice things at this point. I was a dog owner and was taught to clean up after my dog; not leave a pile of crap lying around to be stepped in. Plus I'm worried about the dog harming the poor owls.
If you've stuck with me this far, here is where the learning part comes in. This owl is actually thankful to have that dog as his neighbor and thankful that the owner doesn't clean up after it. One of this owl's feeding techniques is to carry dung back to its burrow which then attracts dung beetles that it will eat.
I didn't know what was in the owl's talons at the time I took this shot, but this is a shot of the owl carrying back a nice Golden Retriever dung ball. One wise owl.
