Still at Spring Grove Ponds and this time chasing a damselfly , it seemed to flit between this leaf a small log floating in the water .
Damselflies are flying insects of the suborder Zygoptera in the order Odonata. They are similar to dragonflies (which constitute the other odonatan suborder, Epiprocta) but are usually smaller and have slimmer bodies. Most species fold the wings along the body when at rest, unlike dragonflies which hold the wings flat and away from the body. Damselflies have existed since the Late Jurassic, and are found on every continent except Antarctica.
All damselflies are predatory insects: both nymphs and adults actively hunt and eat other insects. The nymphs are aquatic, with different species living in a variety of freshwater habitats including acidic bogs, ponds, lakes and rivers. The nymphs moult repeatedly, at the last moult climbing out of the water to undergo metamorphosis. The skin splits down the back, they emerge and inflate their wings and abdomen to gain their adult form. Their presence on a body of water indicates that it is relatively unpolluted, but their dependence on freshwater makes them vulnerable to damage to their wetland habitats.
We explored an agricultural area the day after Hurricane Matthew to see if there were any unusual birds and ran across this Great Egret wading between the Palm Tree groves.

No picture can capture the feeling of standing all alone in the morning, surrounding by bamboos and snow. But I tried anyway and that's one of the best I got. Hope you like it

Beaumont Grove is a new (to me) place for exploring! My first visit and I can't spend long, so unedited pic, but it is looking fabulous, so far!

Tall aspens in peak fall color growing on an Eastern Sierra hillside.
You might be wondering if the stream of autumn color photographs will end. Well, soon the aspen photographs for this year will likely conclude, but here in the San Francisco Bay Area and nearby there will still be “fall” color on New Year’s Day. So don’t be surprised if this is a continuing thread right on into the new year. Later the trees will no longer be aspens — more maples, cottonwoods, and various other hardwoods from the urban environment, the nearby hills, and even in California’s Central Valley.
This is one of those grove about which I think every year, “I don’t think there’s much else left to do with this subject.” And then, inevitably, it ends up as one of my subjects again the following year. This year I have a somewhat different explanation, as my third-week-of-October visit was later than usual for me. And it turned out that the conditions this year seemed to favor later aspen color in the Eastern Sierra. Consequently, this grove had some of the most striking color that I have seen in this spot, even though I was a good week later than usual.

This is an orange grove in Kefalonia, as you can see they are not yet ready to flower, but as soon as the weather improves they will be in full bloom!!
A Sunday Misc job to North Bessemer has just finished working Montgomery Truss in Grove City, Pennsylvaina and is now headed through Filer North on their way back to Greenville with the 867 and 905 for power. Filer North is the south end of the original CTC installation on the Bessemer which ran 42.9 miles to Meadville Junction. The signal mast here is among several in the area that appear to be recently painted and it's great to see this 70+ year old system kept up so well.

Amtrak 8 blasts through Grove City on it's way to St. Paul. I attempted to beat the train to Wayzata after this, but even though I was ahead of them from Litchfield to Delano, it beat me there anyways. Lesson learned I guess. Though a bit dissapointed missing one shot, I'm glad I got what I could. With Amtrak seeming to want to phase out the P42s soon, who knows when/if we'll see the Empire Builder in this form the next time it takes this route?

Ibises are a group of long-legged wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae, that inhabit wetlands, forests and plains. Ibises usually feed as a group, probing mud for food items, usually crustaceans. It is widespread across much of Australia. It has a predominantly white plumage with a bare, black head, long down curved bill and black legs. They are monogamous and highly territorial while nesting and feeding. Most nest in trees, often with spoonbills or herons. Due to its increasing presence in the urban environment and its habit of rummaging in garbage, the species has acquired a variety of colloquial names such as tip turkey; and bin chicken, and in recent years has become an icon of popular culture, being regarded with passion, wit, and, in equal measure, affection and disgust. 55209
With a cut of cars to drop off at the elevator, the east local backs into the spur track in Grove City.
The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is located in the village of Sagano on the west side of Kyoto, Japan. The path through the Grove is short yet immersive, and there’s something almost magical about the light filtering through the tall stands of bamboo. I captured this image during morning hours before the hordes of tourists arrived.
