Found this black-crowned night-heron getting into position for hunting in the marshy shallow water. They can be quite patient too, sometimes found hunched over in the same position for an extensive time while waiting on some type of aquatic delight. They will defend their "hunting grounds" or territory as well, should another opportunistic feeder come along.
What I find most fascinating about them is that quite striking red eye ... they simply grab my attention.
Happy Sunday everyone!

she was everywhere, but when I started to look, only found 8 more... bring my egg count so far to 38...
Using a manual lens is not advised when capturing a fluttering butterfly!!
Traveling for our postponed and overdue vacation last week. Plenty of captures to share incoming, including this set of frisky trucks outside our hotel stop along the way.
One of the triplets. I did get to see a glimpse of all 3 at the same time but they are just like kids and weren't all looking at the same time for the picture. Lots of wing stretching happening, wouldn't be surprised if they get out soon and test them out.
It's been a while since I've been to the Lake District, I keep managing to find a photo from my last hike there.. but photo's are running short... I need another visit :-)
It must have been a chilly June morning (about 6 AM) when this image was taken as the beautiful female mountain bluebird has puffed up some of her feathers.
These special birds will be back in about 7 or 8 weeks. Given the cold and snow in Alberta at the moment, it seems like a pipedream. However, there is lots of time for the sun to warm things up as the days get longer.
After the extra CP G13 passed overhead as seen here: flic.kr/p/2nnyzJq the sun came out as the 9 AM Waterville Relief crew on PAR train NMWA-13 was wrapping up the air test and getting ready to start west with their 4261 ft long train of 59 loads and 4 empties behind a GP40-2LW, GP40, C40-8 combo. They are on the west end of Track 4 here at MP 64 on the Freight Main while at right on track w/e 3 is OT-1's GP40-2LW/GP40 power tied for the weekend.

The heated birdbath is a must in the winter time. We have been getting 100's at a time of Cowbirds like this female coming to the feeders and then to the bath for a drink. It was in the 40's so I went out on the deck with Bandit for a while. Lots of kisses from my happy boy. My backyard. Central Bucks, PA.
Work does not cease at the Oskova washery of RMU Banovici, and photographic opportunities continue to present themselves, but the lure of the warm hotel with food and drink just 10 minutes drive away, deep in the the adjoining forest, was a necessity to prise one away from this most incredible steam-worked industrial operation well into the 21st century. During the evening of 24th February 2015, this standard post-war Yugoslavian industrial 760mm gauge 0-6-0 tank locomotive No.25-30 built in 1949, while attempting to get its rake of partly discharged hopper wagons on the move again through the tipping dock to allow further wagons to be manually discharged, unexpectedly slipped violently and in the process deposited some the contents of its firebox into the night sky and onto the track. It had been a particularly busy two days at the washery, with demand for coal being high. With this frame 'in the can' just before 8.00pm, it was certainly time to finally call it a day and grab a nice cool beer.

January.
January gets a bad rap. Yeah.... the holidays that most people look forward to are over... the next paid holiday (at least in my world) is Memorial Day! Most of us have eaten our way through the holidays and have now made ridiculous resolutions about losing weight, exercising and getting healthy... along with numerous other resolutions that rarely survive the first month of the year. It's cold. It's dark.... it's dark when we get up and dark when we get out of work. It's like an endless Monday.... (well, for most people... I, personally love Mondays, so that's not really how I feel!) ... 31 days straight of
Mondays for everyone else. And speaking of Mondays... and survival... here's another fun fact (almost as fun as the one about owls eating the heads off of pheasants).... The third Monday of January is regarded as the most depressing day of the year. It actually has the highest suicide rate of any other day of the year. Yup.... did you know that? And it's coming.... I'm going to survive Monday... because, hey! it's my favorite day of the week... now, Tuesday... that's another story altogether.
Anyway.... there are good things about January. It's a "catch up" month. We get to do things that we didn't have time to do because we were prepping for the holidays. It's dark... so we get to come home from work and put pajamas on at 7:00 (some of us are even asleep by 7:30!!) So, we get to catch up on sleep. It's cold... so we get to use wool.... wool blankets, wool scarves, wool sweaters, wool fingerless gloves. I love wool. Oh...and we get to wear many layers... which hide the extra pounds that have been added due to all of the chocolate covered goodies that appeared in the kitchen at work during all of December. It's cold and dark... so it gives us an excuse to curl up under blankets, with a good book, and go to sleep early. And if there's something you are supposed to do, that you don't want to.... you can pray for snow to get out of it... or just use the excuse... it's too cold. And if you do go out, like when I go to Waterloo Village every day...you have the place all to yourself (because it's cold... and it's dark!!) ... but having the place all to myself... PERFECT!! Just the way I like it! There... don't you feel better already? Yeah, I have no problem with January, and it's almost over anyway (although I have several other things to whine and complain about that aren't even close to being over... ugh)
and I literally did.....just needed the right spot which happened to be just past the waters edge! Very nearly titled 'Get Lost' as 'H' and I were trying to find this on our own.....
The hierarchy of deer feeding. It is so interesting to watch who gets to eat and how some deer try to sneak in for a bite to eat

Is it me or does little guy not appear to be hanging on very tightly?
SOOC on my nightly walk with you know who. She is a great decoy as the birds turn their heads for the camera!
HFF everyone! A Happy Thanksgiving weekend to my friends in the US.
Wisconsin and Southern's L467 Baraboo turn gets a move on its evening northbound run and departs the northern border of the state capital city over the Yahara River, past numerous small watercraft moored safely in the slips of a marina awaiting a future day of recreation on Lake Mendota.
This was meant to be just a recce as I favour a good sunset (ok we don't seem to get those atm) but the walk from where you park the car is longer then I expected especially when I've been suffering from a bit of a Lyme flare up this week. However for me poppies are enough of a motivation to shake off any aches and pains!!
The light and shadows I think were enough for me to come away with a couple of shots that weren't completely flat but I do favour that golden light
I hope to return before they go over! And summer where are you?
