This Blue Jay has a beak full of shelled corn from an adjacent field and paused in this tree, showing off its haul.

Bluejays love corn. They are so friendly and funny. This is one of this years babies and is learning very quickly how hard life can be for them. The sharp shinned hawks that come in every autumn have arrived and spend a good portion of the day hunting the Jays. Fortunately the Jays are smart, fast and quick and they work together to try to avoid being dinner.
An 'Acorn' (oak nut).. giving the squirrels something to think about..
HGGT.. Thanks for your visit & comments..
Yesterday while mowing my lawn and working in the garden I listened to Tim Ferriss' podcast and he was interviewing Aisha Tyler. I was only familiar with her from Whose Line Is It Anyway and had no idea what else she had been involved with. I LOVE her attitude and outlook, it is definitely worth a listen if you have the time. Here is the link tim.blog/2018/07/16/aisha-tyler/.
Had an attack of ESS when processing this (Extreme Slider Syndrome).
But I'm applying ointment, and should be better tomorrow.
Just got back from a trip to Florida. Lotsa bird pics to come. This double-crested cormorant was only a few feet from me on the road. Fearless! More pics a bit at a time.
On my first day back to work after a week's vacation (naturally), I got word that Norfolk Southern 1068, the Erie heritage unit, was leading an eastbound loaded tanker train from North Dakota, and it would tie down at the siding just outside of Steward, IL. It ended up staying the whole day, so I made the long drive out after work to catch it. By the time I got there, it was getting close to sunset, so I hung around to watch the sky turn a whole menagerie of colors. It also happened to be the night of the full moon, so I was treated to an open country moonrise as well.
A composite mess. Wholemeal Bread, Butter, Strawberry Jam, Marmite, Ground Pepper, Pepper Corns.All splashed on randomly.

The Wiltshire countryside lay in-front of me like a canvas, the warming autumn light enriching the greens and browns. The soft pastel blue sky typical of a late September day.
The slowly ripening field of corn barely moves on this breezeless day. All that was needed would be a Class 52 powering up the bank on a stone train towards me. Well all I could come up with in 2021 was this Freightliner 66 herself now quite a veteran. The greens and yellows of the loco livery compliments the scene.
66617 on the 1241 Acton to Merehead running an hour late climbs the bank up to Winchcombe Way overbridge.
Late evening glow lighting up the rocks in front of the Corny Point Lighthouse, Yorke Peninsula (Sth Aust).
Looking NNE from the Parowan, Utah valley towards the Tushar Mnts (the far mountains on the left side).
Corn field was almost "knee high by the fourth of July".
(Corn seedlings are proverbially supposed to be as high as someone's knee by July 4th.)
After an above-normally hot June, July temps have been much nicer. And we've had some rain - just not enough.
Thanks for stopping by - hope all is well in your world.
This was one of several abandoned farms I visited on the August long weekend. The buildings on this farm are abandoned, but the land is still used by the current owners as pasture land and a bit of gardening. This is located east of Penhold, Alberta.
This is a cornfield just outside of Leyburn, North Yorkshire. This was processed using Photomatix using 3 exposures on a Canon 650D at f/14. I'm just playing about with Photomatix so any comments, critiques or opinions are welcome. There's another similar image I've posted, which I processed using Lightroom - again, I'm only experimenting at the moment. Thanks.
