Nice to see this Cuckoo again this year. The locals apparently call him Colin.
Thank you for taking a look at my images.
A view while out in the local hills, the snow has arrived in the higher elevations but need much more

I've been going over to Commonwealth Lake for the last few weeks, in anticipation of the arrival of the Osprey. I keep hearing about the Virginia Rail, and where to look for it, but hadn't been fortunate enough to see it - until Friday. Came out into plain sight - briefly - before darting back into the brush.
in our local BIG park. We were expecting heavy grey skies this year, but we were blessed with this wonderful light ! I have still to cook our Christmas meal - so I'm rushing to get this on before starting the real cooking !
Hope you've had a lovely Christmas Day so far (it's not over yet) - a lovely time whatever you are celebrating, and that you are suffused with good feelings.
My heart goes out to those who find Christmas and the New Year a lonely and difficult time. We are so lucky to be visiting family tomorrow - I am a lucky woman!
Thanks so much for all your support, as always... you know how I value each and every one of you. I am sorry if I can't always keep up with you !

Our quaint local community of Finn Slough. You take an immediate step back in time when you arrive. It’s quite a special little community.
Friday's R-MRL841 tends to return east with a healthy cut of power, as they often bring back the Logan local power for relay to Livingston or points east. This week's train was no exception, and with an extra GP9 in the mix, they ended up having five engines. After building their train at Logan, they wasted no time heading east - we beat them from the west end of Manhattan siding here to the west end of Bozeman siding with seconds to spare.
The new era has begun on the Canadian National's Portland line in Quebec. A swing to full GMD's has taken about a year since my first visit to the area as seen at the "farm curve" between Waterville and Compton Station. The local out of Richmond has a healthy cut of lumber for the distributor in Coaticook on this day.
A Cypress Swamp in the Mercer Arboretum north of Houston, Texas. Though it may seem otherwise, the water level is lower than usual.
The woody knobs are "cypress knees" -- they provide these tall trees oxygen, nutrients and stability not otherwise available in the primordial ooze. A bald cypress can live up to 600 years, though there are some as old as 1,000.
