Apparently, this is the only suitable spot in some distance for a good dust bath. Goats came one by one and took their turn.
This oystercatcher was doing a pretty good job at finding which shell contained some food and which ones were empty.... How can they know and be so effective in their search? I am not sure, but here is what the Cornell lab of Ornithology says of their eating habits. I did not know that the search for food could be that dangerous to them.

American Oystercatchers use their long, bladelike, orange bills to catch shellfish unawares, seizing them before they can close up. They walk across shellfish beds and when they encounter one that is partially open, they jab their bill into the shell and sever the strong muscle that clamps the shells shut. The technique is not without its risks though—oystercatchers do sometimes drown after a tightly rooted mussel clamps down on their bills and holds the bird in place until the tide comes in. The birds also feed by carrying loose shellfish out of the water and hammering at the shell, or by probing for buried soft-shell or razor clams the way some other shorebirds do.
Still life with dandelions, string and terracotta pots. That's about the extent of my gardening skills.
1940's poster, seen at Hughenden Mansion, a National Trust property in Buckinghamshire. Propaganda has always been part of the war effort. However, here at Hughenden, a lot more than propaganda was created. In fact, this place was the most secret centre of aerial photography and cartography which in turn allowed British and American bombers to target (mostly) German cities. The Germans were aware of this facility and, in vain, tried to attack it from the air.
I'm not sure if this fox squirrel is looking for some goodies—or maybe planting something for the future! Last summer when I went to replant annual flowers in my deck pots, I found a little cache of peanuts down in the soil!

A young buck strolls though the park as the sun breaks though the Pacific fog deep in the redwood forest. My wife and while out driving without knowing where we were going had accidentally discovered a nearby redwood park that was often laden with fog from San Francisco Bay. At the time, all I had was a simple point and shoot Olympus camera and we didn't have all the filters you would have with an SLR camera and I had not yet learned to use the manual modes. The walk through the park remarkable but unfortunately the camera just wasn't up to the task of taking the pictures under these conditions.
I never throw away an image and I was glad I held on to this one. As I was digging though my old photographs and realized that this shot had some potential especially given that I've learned a lot about Camera RAW And Photoshop. One of the things I had recently learned was that you could load the old JPEG images in Camera RAW. With a bit of work in Camera RAW and then Photoshop, I had a photograph that reminded me of that day and made hanging on to the image worth it all.

Over a foot and half of snow and bone chilling temps. 5* all day yesterday and I walked to the mail box and fed the birds...........that's it.
Been looking through the archives. What an emotional journey! Anyway, here is an image I processed several years ago and I for some reason didn’t feel it was up to the mark. Well today I do! Enjoy!
Old, photography, nostalgia, blar blar blar!

shot with an olympus om-d e-m10 mark ii—720nm infrared converted—and an olympus 12mm f/2.0 wide angle lens
Just digging through the archives and came across this one. It was made at a hotel with artificial lighting, so the colour was interesting but felt unnatural, so I converted to monochrome and kind of tided it up a bit. I particularly like the subtleties of the mist and complexities of the detail. Anyway, I need to start shooting again, haven’t been out in anger for quite a long time! Bloody Covid!!!
