Final Approach

The sky wasn't too spectacular for my sunrise photo shoot this New Year's Eve morning, but it was great to be out at Fisherman's Terminal in Seattle, WA.
A great egret landing on a very windy day. The approach was nice, but the landing was awful. It didn't help that he tried landing on a branch at a 45 degree angle. Kane County, Illinois
Young male Ruby Throated Hummingbird coming in to feed on one of my feeders. Seen early this morning 9/10/2022.
En Galicia, desde Setiembre hasta Junio brillan con luz propia las Camelias. Son flores que se han adaptado perfectamente al clima y al terreno del Noroeste de España y que se encuentran en la mayoría de jardines, plazas y calles de Galicia.
¡Feliz jueves con flores!.
At the end of the season.
In Galicia, from September to June the Camellias shine with their own light. They are flowers that have adapted perfectly to the climate and terrain of the Northwest of Spain and that are found in most gardens, squares and streets of Galicia.
Happy Thursday with flowers!
Galicia. España.
A few minutes later the sunset ended with a grey sky over Princess Point in the Royal Botanical Gardens, Hamilton.
...not just the moon but the old grain elevator appears to be in their final phase!
Some light painting to pick up elevator.
Happy Macro Monday!

Nearing the end of our journey (towards George III Pub, Mawddach Trail Gwynedd, North-Western Wales)
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
We're leaving together,
But still it's farewell.
And maybe we'll come back
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame.
We're leaving ground (leaving ground).
Will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown.
The final countdown.
We're heading for Venus (Venus).
And still we stand tall.
'Cause maybe they've seen us.
And welcome us all, yeah.
With so many light years to go
And things to be found (to be found)
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so.
It's the final countdown.
The final countdown.
The final countdown.
The final countdown.
It's the final countdown.
The final countdown.
The final countdown.
It's the final countdown.
We're leaving together.
The final countdown.
We'll all miss her so.
It's the final countdown.
It's the final countdown.
The final vase of garden flowers sits on our hearth, basking in the morning light as sunlight streams through the living room window.

A Lockheed C-130H Hercules of the Royal Thai Air Force makes coming in for a landing at Wing 5 in Prachuap khiri Khan.
The C-130 first flight was in 1954. It entered service with the USAF in 1956. Still in production, there are more than 40 variants including civilian versions operated by 60 nations around the world.
My Sweet Magnolia Tree's Blossoms were bit by spring's frozen temps. Despite all the petals turning a golden brown, even in its final days, the petals showed grace and beautyf.
Listen to Song while looking at picture :D
I need to be with you....

Landmark
Between the summit of Goatfell and its northern neighbour lies the Stacach Ridge. There are 2 choices, choose the less exposed path and skirt round the edge or go directly over the top. Having done both routes, I can say that your individual skill and the weather conditions will play the biggest factors on which route to take.
This route is not for the faint hearted. Most of the people standing on the summit will not come this way, there are faster and less risky routes. But for those seasoned walkers, climbers and explorers, sometimes you need that extra bit of excitement to get you there, and this ridge certainly provides that.
A Wood Stork coming in for a landing (virtually over my head)
From Florida Audubon
The Wood Stork is one of Florida’s signature wading birds, a long-legged, awkward-looking bird on land that soars like a raptor in the air.
Wood Stork
Like many Florida birds associated with wetlands, the Wood Stork has suffered from the destruction and degradation of our state’s wetlands. Today, the Wood Stork is classed “Threatened” by the State of Florida and the federal government.
It feeds in shallow water, stirring the bottom with its unlikely pink feet and snapping up small prey that are unlucky enough to encounter the bird’s sensitive bill. They nest in early spring, just in time for the traditional season of lowest water when prey items will be concentrated in shrunken wetlands, providing good hunting so the storks can feed their young.
Now, we have altered the natural cycle of high and low water in our wetlands and Wood Storks often can’t find enough food for their young, who eventually succumb to starvation.
How Audubon is Helping
Everglades Restoration: the Everglades is a historical feeding and nesting ground for Wood Storks. By restoring the river of grass, we will ensure there will always be places for storks to feed, nest and raise their young.
Lake Okeechobee Recovery: Wood Storks forage in and nest around this beleagured big lake. Cleaning up the lake will help storks and a suite of other animals, as well as the Everglades itself.
Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary: This Audubon Sanctuary in Southwest Florida protects one of the state’s largest Wood Stork rookeries. Audubon actively manages the sanctuary for the storks’ benefit, and we advocate for their feeding grounds downstream.
There is a large rookery at Wakodahatchee Wetlands.
The largest group I've ever seen is at Harris Neck in Georgia - there they ride the thermals together many hundreds at a time. They also have a rookery there.

I took this picture from the finger of land that reaches out into Skaha Lake from Christie Memorial Provincial Park in Okanagan Falls. The piece of land was part of the Canadian Pacific Railroad wharf built in 1922 along with one in Keleden and in south Penticton. The wharves allowed the CPR to barge rail cars to Keleden and Okanagan falls from Penticton. In 1930 The CPR built the rail bed on the west side of Skaha Lake and no longer needed the wharves so they were dismantled.
