There was a Jabiru standing here but she flew off - and with dignity, despite her size. Jabirus come here only seasonally, from the Northern Territory - maybe seeking water? Anyhow, I mainly see Jabirus at the estuaries, so this sighting here, in the arse end of town, was a treat.
This grid from the drip tray of an Espresso machine helps account for any spillage.

Flows into the Great Miami River just above the confluence with the Ohio River. It drains the fields and lakes at Oxbow Nature Preserve and floods them when the Ohio River is high. Many trees barked by the beavers.
This white-painted drainage mill was built in 1820 and worked for nearly 120 years. A good example of a mill that has been raised.
On east bank of the River Thurne, close to the village and close to the Lion Inn.
Just a little something that we all normally walk past in our hurried lives but which happened to catch my eye. It’s always intriguing the looks I get when I stop to photograph the common things in life.

There is nothing like being here. After languishing over many beautiful photos, works of art, taken at this location in general, I had to try it myself. Believe it or not, we kind of got lost and didn't make it to the site as early as I had planned. Thank goodness, it would have been too early.
It takes time to sift through the many files taken and stored, as all of you know. It will take me months to view and review the multitudes, but this one, although not my favorite view, is my favorite for today. I love the tones and the depth!
Thanks for visiting and looking. I love to read your comments, thanks,
Susan
Seen next to the Noddle Hill Nature Reserve .in East Hull..( I uploaded another Photo of this Dyke on March 25th which see )
A nice winter sunset in Kongsberg after some fresh snow. The roof that can be seen is NOT of a house completely covered in snow ;-) It’s a small ‘tappehus’, a wooden housing built on a dam, covering a drain valve. A number of dam systems and water drainage systems were built in the mountains surrounding Kongsberg to supply the silvermining industry with running water in the 17th and 18th centuries. The ponds collected enough water to be able to operate water wheels that would drive pumps and elevators in the mines. The water flowing from the pond (below the snow and ice on the right here) was controlled by opening or closing the drain channel at the bottom of the dam, with the valve inside the little shed.
This image was taken exactly a year later as this one ;-) .
