A very unusual sighting of an African Jacana in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. It may have been blown off course by the wind of the day before we sighted it for the first time at Thirteenth Borehole. Favouring surfaces covered by water lilies, they are are common sightings at fresh water and the margins of slow-flowing rivers, but not in the dry western regions of our area, or the semi-desert of the kalahari.

This bridge is identical to many others in Ohio's extensive metro park system. I drove past quite a few and this one, which resides in Rock River Reservation caught my eye. The fall colors, the calm river and of course the bridge provide a beautiful fall scene
Offshoot outing to the Camargue
In the Camargue the star of the show is the bull, He has his 10 minutes in the ring, where the young men try and take the ribbons from his horns or the rosette from his back. There is a balletic quality of man against beast where only the man risks injury. The bull then returns to his pasture uninjured and lives to show his 10 minutes of majesty and prowess again and again.
Is what these fancy homes to my left in La Crosse have when there's not a BNSF train blocking it. This is new double track installed by BNSF during the oil boom to alleviate congestion but our target train was still being held out because a track rider was doing heat patrol on Main 1 while the dispatcher got rid of a few eastbounds.
This is a great spot to hang out and shoot trains, at the end of a quiet dead end street with plenty of shade and nobody to bother you. The residents of the house were out working in the yard and totally ignored our presence.

I'm not a golfer - but I just might take it up to golf here. This is about a mile from where I grew up. I loved being able to see the Whitetank Mountains every day.
A black-necked swan and a toy paper boat in a pond on a converging course. Little brave cruiser. Paper David against the swan Goliath.
OMG, a motorboat is in collision course with San Rocco di Camogli church!
What? It's only the telescopic compression?
Ehm, I think you're quite right, the church is 221 meters a.s.l.!
Taken from Portofino mountain (640 meters a.s.l.) with my zoom lens.

SUNSET - Broward County Florida - Autumn / Fall '24
Pompano Beach Airpark / Pompano Beach Golf Course
Pompano Beach, Florida U.S.A. - October 19th, 2024
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - airport (south) - golf (north)]
Pompano Beach Airpark is also the Home of the Goodyear Blimp!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodyear_Blimp
*[The city's name is derived from the Florida pompano
(Trachinotus carolinus), a fish found off the Atlantic coast]
There had been scattered settlers in the area since at least the
mid-1880s, but the first documented permanent residents of the Pompano area were George Butler and Frank Sheen and their families, who arrived in 1896 as railway employees. The first train arrived in the small Pompano settlement on February 22, 1896. It is said that Sheen gave the community its name after jotting down on his survey of the area the name of the fish he had for dinner. The coming of the railroad led to development farther west from the coast. In 1906, Pompano became the southernmost settlement in newly created Palm Beach County. That year, the tall Hillsboro Lighthouse was completed on the beach, and the rest is history!

Well, welcome to spring! Couldn't think of a better representation from Florida that spring has officially arrived than to welcome it in with this adorable sandhill crane colt. In this image, it's also a special day ... for it's Uno's 1-week birthday!
As many of you know, I'm an official craniac, so when I heard of this cutie's presence in our world, I set to wake up super early and drive up to see him/her. It wasn't a drive without incident (thanks Tom), all good though, for seeing this colt made it all worthwhile (as well as spending time with my dear friends Jess & Michael ... it had been too long).
Words cannot describe how sweet this little one was and how thrilled I was to get to photograph "a morning in the life of" this colt. Being already 1 week old, Uno was making his way through the grasses alongside its parents pretty good, taking short naps along the way, and receiving tasty bugs and worms from its parents. Always a favorite activity of mine was the "catch-up chase" whenever it would lag a bit behind. At times, Uno would stop and look over at us, as if to wonder where our parents were. LOL. Of course, the wildflowers in the frame with this cutie were one my favorites. Love, love, love cranes, especially these young colts.
I hope that if spring hasn't arrived in your neck of the woods yet, that it will soon. As far as south Florida goes, unfortunately I think we'r already well on our way to summer. Either way, hope that you enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Thanks for stopping by to view and especially for sharing your thoughts and comments.
