I've got that right, don't I?
A few have mentioned they never tire of fall foliage shots and I reckon we'll continue to test that theory for a while. The winds over the last few days have done their annual duty, yet the oaks endure as they tend to do, the last to give up the ghost...tho some only do so with the arrival of new buds in the spring, somehow hanging on throughout our trying winter.
Another very nice day for late October, so off we go to the canoe to enjoy a relatively rare windless day.
A Tricolored Heron Lurching into the Marsh to catch a little minnow. Within a split second he demonstrated his agility by leaping from a log wirh head under water, then this shot coming up with the minnow, to flying with it.

Male American Kestrel flying off to a tree with a nice Vole catch at Lake Galena. Peace Valley Park, New Britain PA. Right place and time,but on the wrong side of the sun.

After shaking it, the fish got away, but not for long, the egret fished it out of the water a second later.
I finally got my flight shot of the White Ibis. It took two years of going back to the Ocean City rookery. Two years ago there was one and you were lucky to see it. I got a shot of it on the ground. Went back yesterday and there were 20 of them flying in and out.
Last week we got about 60cm of snow and today we got about 10-15cm of ice and sleet (which is like ten times worse than 1 meter of snow). So New England winter is in full swing and I am looking forward for summer 2022 and the day I am going to fly to Greece. Until that day though, I can think about that by looking at photos from last summer. This is the Bouza lighthouse in Aegina, one of my favorite places on the island. Errected in 1881, it's only 9meters tall but still one of the island's most famous landmarks. It sits at the island's westernost spot right next to the church of Saint Apostles. A beautiful place to relax and enjoy the sunset as the ferries pass by. It feels like the lighthouse is providing a shining path to them.
PS: I know I haven't been around much commenting and (most importantly) replying to comments on my photos, but at some point I will find the time to show my appreciation to your comments and faves!

His wonderful stream :
The Black Skimmer is one of my favorite birds down at the shore. I just love watching them skim along the water catching fish. Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Galloway, NJ.
I agree I got carried away with the associations I had during experimenting with different screws, light sources and backgrounds (most of the images won't be seen here).
It was fun using the new light tape (it can be switched to different colours) that my husband brought home for (especially) macro work.
The four screws here were placed on a shiny plastic bag for reflections plus one on top. There are black cards in the background to darken the scene.
HMM to all participants 💙💙💙
I got a bad boy, I must admit it (hey)
You got my heart, don't know how you did it (hey)
And I don't care who sees it, babe
I don't wanna hide the way I feel when you're next to me (hey)
I love the way (I love the way you make me feel)
I love the way (I love it, I love it)
Baby, I love the way (I love the way you make me feel)
Ooh, I love the way (I love it, I love it)
The way you love me

The Cliff Swallows here are really tough to get. They fly so low and fast over the dam and disappear, then pop up to go back to the nest. Bucks County PA.
Recently I got my home.
It's a very small secret home just for me.
I used to rent a skybox just to change clothes, but it wasn't safe with occasional intrusions and peeping, but here I'm completely free.
It's very comfortable.
But if I stay home for a long time and stop wandering ...
If I was just shooting my own portrait ...
Zzzzzz......
Sorry...No SLURL...:P
Not an early riser, I took someones challenge to get up to shoot the sunrise on Chincoteague Island. Guess it was worth it.
I don't really know what it captured. It was very animated with leaps and fluttering while pecking at the grass. I know they eat snails, lizards, frog, snakes in addition to corn and etc. Could be something meaty and tasty in that root ball.
Not even sure that IS a root ball because the distance was too far and photo too cropped for a good fix on what the crane dug up. If any of my friends here know, please share.
Found this floating around in my archives on a shoot I had taken awhile ago at Point Reyes. Not a great shot, but thought it might put a smile on a few faces.
Have a wonderful week everyone! :-)
