This ground squirrel, who has staked out this drainage pipe and is letting everyone within hearing distance know about it, will have quite a surprise the next time it rains! Is this a ground squirrel's version of sleeping under the bridge? Glacier National Park, Montana.
Whenever I happen across Anhingas, they always seem to be drying out their wings! One day I hope to catch one in flight!
Happy Feathery Friday!
I took this Photograph of a Great Blue Heron, somewhere in Oldsmar (most likely in the Tarpon Woods Development), in the East Lake Area of Pinellas County, Florida .
NOTE: This area receives it's Mail from the Palm Harbor Post Office, however the Oldsmar Post office is much, much closer.
European Water Vole / arvicola amphibious. Private farmland, Tibenham, Norfolk. 13/05/15.
An image from the early Spring and made on a scorching hot day I remember. One of a small community of Water Voles that live well along a shallow stream flowing through water meadows.
Satin Biggie the Troll finally found a place to live comfortably without having to deal with billie goats. His new digs has running water and a supply of rocks to munch on. And, occasionally, a wayward photographer is intrigued by the surroundings. Photographers taste good and Satin can sell the camera equipment on eBay!

If you're in an urban or suburban area, then these are under your feet all the time. Without them life would be pretty intolerable, but we rarely think about them and we take them for granted ... until something goes wrong with them!

The good news is that Danny the Drainage Pipe can now deliver seepage without staining the retaining wall. The bad news is that it lasts longer than four hours and Danny has no way to get to the doctor's office!

These large pipes designed to carry flood waters are everywhere out west. It is incredible that in areas that receive so little rainfall, that floods from rains sometimes tens or hundreds of miles away can come rushing down the mountains with such force that roadways can be washed away if not for these drainage culverts. In this particular culvert, there were two of these pipes, both large enough for me to walk through without ducking. The little boy that lurks within me drew me inside.
You've probably done it too. You see some massive drainage pipes laid out along the road, all rusty and primitive-looking, and you stop and pull out the camera and go noodling about in the muck and old weeds looking for an original shot, which doesn't exist anymore and probably hasn't existed since the week after the creation of massive drainage pipe, and you expose a few frames because you're there and why not, but in the end all you've got is another derivative photo that's about as graceful and pointless as a sentence that never seems to end.
Months ago, when Jimmy jumped down into one of these storm drains for the first time, I stood at the top on the grate and sobbed, called out to him and sobbed, opened cans of Fancy Feast and sobbed, dangled his cat dancer down to him and sobbed, laid down and reached my fingers towards him and sobbed ... you get the idea. After hours of this, I had to take a bathroom break and as I walked towards our place I saw Jimmy sitting next to our front door. Apparently there is a whole maze of drainage pipes underground and he surfaced at a different grate opening. I have since seen Jimmy and another cat jumping down into and out of these drains several times so no longer worry.
This evening, I was out following Jimmy and Mack around hoping for a photo op, when something startled them and first Jimmy, then Mack went jumping down the drain. Because I wasn't worried this time, I was just thrilled imaging the action shots of these guys jumping out of the drain. What an opportunity! What a shot! After a bit, Jimmy jumped out. I called for Mack (time for his pic!) and he just looked up at me and meowed pathetically. I called again, in a sort of "come on, don't be silly" tone of voice. He meowed again and looked from me to the opening of the grate then back to me. It suddenly ocurred to me that I had never seen Mack around the drainage grates. Now I got to panic all over again. Thankfully Mack didn't make me go through hours of agony. He jumped out after a few minutes of working up the courage.
And after all that, I didn't get very good pictures.

Photograph of a two storey tenement building with a group standing in the doorway on the left. There are two girls, a baby and a young boy all of whom are facing the camera. Above them further to the left there are wires overhead. On the right there are clothes hung from the ground floor window and above a woman looks out over a washing line hung from the far right second floor window.
This photo is a scan of a 35 mm slide I took with my Minolta SRT 101. The title describes what it is. But I think the way the light was passing through these large tubes must have caught my eye!
Hidden from view in the black plastic darkness, ENCEPHALITIS MOSQUITOES lay their eggs in the standing water that collects in the grooves of the corrugated pipe.
