Still a nice evening, a calm steady breeze blew in clouds by the time I had arrived at this location.

... for the end of the dance. I'm glad I wasn't invited to this dance!
I brought them back out and released them where I had found them.

Love watching juvenile Elegant Terns as they figure out their moves. This one was dipping and diving in the water honing some skills. Been waiting all summer for these Elegants to show up along the coast. They were late this year. But I was very happy to finally see them, even on a foggy day.
I don't usually have sugar with my strawberries but trying to come up with a slightly more creative photo means sacrifices have to be made.
Dippers are quite small birds with a wingspan of only about 30 cm / 1 foot. But they are incredible swimmers and divers. They can withstand the forces of fast running water or even torrents. They grab a hold on small cracks in the rocks and, as simple as that, put their heads and bodies into the rapids. It's just amazing
Eigentlich sind Wasseramseln eher kleine Vögel mit einer Flügelspannweite von bis zu 30 cm. Aber was diese Kerle im Wasser anstellen, ist für mich ein kleines Wunder der Natur. Schwimmen, tauchen, sich an kleinste Ritzen in den Steinen festkrallen und dann den Kopf oder den ganzen Körper einfach so in die Stromschnellen stecken. Einfach unglaublich

From U.S. Highway 20 near Hell’s Half Acre in Natrona County, Wyoming, white sandstone hogbacks of the Mesa Verde Formation rise along the western flank of the Casper Arch. The arch is bounded on its west side by an east-dipping thrust fault. This fault forms the geologic boundary between the Wind River Basin to the west and the southern Powder River Basin to the east.
Catching a sucker hole as they work south, MQT's Turn crew is notched out as they roll through the dip at Ramona with a tonnage train in tow.
Sometimes the photography gods grace you to be in the right place at the right time.
I couldn't have posed or scripted this angle any better.

It’s always nice to see the Cedar Wax Wings. Each year we look forward to their visit. They come in large numbers but don’t stay long as they voraciously eat everything in sight. Cedar Waxwings are pale brown on the head and chest fading to soft gray on the wings. The belly is pale yellow, and the tail is gray with a bright yellow tip. The face has a narrow black mask neatly outlined in white. The red waxy tips to the wing feathers are not always easy to see. In fall these birds gather by the hundreds to eat berries, filling the air with their high, thin, whistles.
CSX M218 heads south through Norwood, NJ with CSX SD70ACC 4552 leading the way towards Newark, NJ with a 198 axle autorack train in tow. I like to call this portion of the line "The Dip" as the tracks go up and down a bit between the crossing I was standing at, Broadway, and Clinton Ave. The head end has just passed the automatic 17 signal.
