Medium-sized tern found on open ocean, beaches, and large lakes. Adults have pale gray body and black cap. Bill color differs by subspecies: most have red bill with black tip, but some Asian birds have all-black bills. First-years show dark outer primaries, dark shoulder, and black restricted to back of neck. Similar to Forster's, Arctic, and Roseate Terns. Separated from breeding Forster's Tern by entirely gray upperwings; nonbreeding Forster's shows black ear patch. Somewhat longer-billed and shorter-tailed than Arctic Tern, with paler body. Shorter-tailed and overall darker than gleaming white Roseate Tern. Often found in large flocks, especially in late summer. Gives a harsh screeching call "KEEE-yurrrr." (eBird)

I have seen many Common Terns but never lose the joy of watching them fly by searching for fish. To watch them dive head-first in the shallow water is heartstopping. But to watch them on the beach is to admire their clean lines and crisp colours.

for a colourful Sunday!
The weather has been perfect for all the Waterlilies,
Yesterday did nothing in the garden, only fed the Koi and take photos.
Took a spin to the nearby farmland the other evening, hoping to find a nice location with an interesting foreground to capture the sunset.
Before taking off I consulted with the trusty Google Map and found this farm that contained a cluster of silos. It turned out the location had a few more farm equipment, scattered all over the place, making it a bit more of a challenge to get a good composition given the sun's setting position and the little time I had.
Nevertheless, I am happy to come back with a few usable images. The Farmland @ Blue Hour was taken 16 minutes after this one.
Thanks for your visit, really appreciate it; please be safe and enjoy your day!
PS: I just noticed that I had captured both the sunrise and sunset on this spring day, March 21st!

There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,
The earth, and every common sight,
To me did seem
Apparelled in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.
It is not now as it hath been of yore;
Turn wheresoe'er I may,
By night or day,
The things which I have seen I now can see no more.
But there’s a tree, of many, one,
A single field which I have look’d upon,
Both of them speak of something that is gone:
The pansy at my feet
Doth the same tale repeat
Whither is fled the visionary gleam?
Where is it now, the glory and the dream

Pučišća (Italian: Pucischie) is a coastal town on the northern side of the Island of Brač, Croatia. It is often listed as one of the prettiest villages in Europe and is known for its white lime stone and a beautiful bay.
Many of the buildings are built with local stone, and so are the numerous monuments which adorn the town, giving the village its distinctive gleaming white look. It was a privilege of the aristocrats and the stone masons to live at the waterfront of Pučišća. This, and the easy access to the white lime stone from the local quarries, gave Pučišća its look. The houses at the waterfront were spacious and wealthy and the higher you climb up the hill, the smaller the historic houses become. The photo shows one of such historic quarters in Pučišća, built uphill around the small church of St. Lucia (to the left). The houses have been lived in to this day.
Pure white limestone that was used to build the White House in Washington D.C. also came from the quarries near Pučišća on Brač. Long before that, the same white stone was harvested by the slaves of fourth-century Roman Emperor Diocletian and transported to Split to build his palace. The high quality Brač stone was also used to build the houses of parliament in both Budapest and Vienna as well as many other important buildings throughout Europe. In Croatia, the most significant buildings made of Brač stone are the Palace of Diocletian, the Cathedral of St James in Sibenik and the Cathedral of St Lawrence in Trogir, which have all been under World Heritage (UNESCO) protection.
The whole dynasties of famous Croatian stone masons were educated at the quarry near Pučišća during the Renaissance and Baroque period. The only school of stone masonry in Croatia is situated in Pučišće and the school has been successfully active for more than a century.

The curve-billed thrasher can generally be found running rapidly from cover to cover or flying near ground level from bush to bush. However, this bird is not shy about being in the open. It is generally a forager on ground level but can be very aggressive in routing out potential competitors for food at feeders, such as the Inca dove and round-tailed ground squirrel. It will usually destroy any nest of cactus wrens. From Wikipedia
It's winter-fall
Read skies are gleaming, oh
Sea-gulls are flyin' over
Swans are floatin' by
Smoking chimney-tops
Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming?
The nights draw in
There's a silky moon up in the sky, yeah
Children are fantasizing
Grown-ups are standin' by
What a super feeling
Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming?
Woh-woh-woh-woh
(Dreaming) So quiet and peaceful
(Dreaming) Tranquil and blissful
(Dreaming) There's a kind of magic in the air
(Dreaming) What a truly magnificent view
(Dreaming) A breathtaking scene
With the dreams of the world
In the palm of your hand
(Dreaming) A cozy fireside chat
(Dreaming) A little this, a little that
(Dreaming) Sound of merry laughter skippin' by
(Dreaming) Gentle rain beatin' on my face
(Dreaming) What an extraordinary place!
And the dream of the child
Is the hope of the, hope of the man
It's all so beautiful
Like a landscape painting in the sky, yeah
Mountains are zoomin' higher, uh
Little girls scream an' cry
My world is spinnin' and spinnin' and spinnin'
It's unbelievable
Sends me reeling
Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming?
Oooh, it's bliss

These gleaming little black BBs are actually the seeds of wild leek, otherwise known as ramps. I hope they find a good home on the ground here this winter, for wild leek's flavorful new bulbs taste heavenly in May when sautéed with some fresh morel mushrooms!
The remains of an old farm weather on as the gleam of a new windfarm shines all around it.The Ohio,IL. was one of the first in our area,the problems encountered with it have slowed construction on new windfarms in the area.The idea is good,the execution not so much...
Have a great windmill(and wind turbine) Wednesday all!
