A herd of dairy cows on farmland... somewhere between Churchinford and Otterford. At Taunton Deane in Somerset.
This young great horned owl is a big draw at Dawson creek - I heard about it from other photographers/bird enthusiasts, so went for a visit.
This is a Townsend's solitaire. It was seen on Sunday at Koll Center wetlands, and soon had attracted bird watchers and photographers to try to catch a view of it. I wasn't fortunate enough on Sunday, but did get to see it today - a lifer for me! Thanks to Keith Todd for calling my attention to the location!

The North Rim of the Grand Canyon, at 8000 ft., provides one with an expansive view of the canyon, sky and the weather that passes through. Watching these storms was musical. As they say, "all politics is local", so too with rain!
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
These guys were busy mowing and again I noticed despite the noise this attracted several birds a kestrel a buzzard and a black-backed gull all seemed to be taking easy pickings from the ground, as always my shots of the birds were not worthy of posting but I still enjoyed watching.
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.
"It's all happening here." The great cricket commentator Bill Lawry used this phrase often. In this scene it applies. I am standing in the hills above Launceston bathed in sunlight. In the distance, towards Ben Lomond, the weather is changing fast. In the valley between us lies Launceston, darkened by the downpour that was beginning to hit the city. Is this the other half of the rainbow I showed you yesterday? Perhaps I could have called this one "Rainbow on the Hill".
[Once again if you're viewing this photo on a small phone screen you'll miss the detail in this large scale scene.]
The best way to jump over one's own shadow is to walk in sunshine at high noon.

I took this photo from the highest point of the island of Hvar, sv. Nikola, 628 m above the sea level after hiking, should I say climbing :) for some hour and a half to reach a votive chapel, perching on its top and serving as a yearly pilgrimage destination for the locals. I started from the mountain's foot in the early dawn of that prime summer day in 2007 and by the time I made it to the summit the scorching rays of the sun were in their full bliss. All over the steep slopes, scattered with the spectacular climbing cliffs, the vineyards studding the landscape parched by the reflections of sun's dazzling radiance off the vast expanse of water, are nestled growing the famous Plavac red wine grapes. Enjoy the view!...:)

At a local park not more than a few miles from my house. At low tide there is solid stretch of land that connects to the small island just right of center. This area is a designated bird sanctuary home to gulls, Canadian geese, egrets, swans, hawks, flacons and various species of mallards. This area is not recommended during hot summer days as mosquitos, deer flies and ticks will bite you to pieces.

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.

Il y avait une jolie lumière dans la cuisine qui tombait sur cet assortiment déposé sans rangement sur la table
A little tree climbing netted this view of a trio of small Geeps on a long local destined for Hawarden. On the big curve south of Westfield. The old Milwaukee line appeared to go straight south from here to North Sioux City but I'm still looking for evidence of that. By this point in time it was getting rare to get the smaller Geeps on their own on the main line runs.
