As the sun sets on the Tamar Valley long shadows appear in the landscape. If you enlarge this shot you can see the East Tamar Highway winding its way from Launceston to George Town. In the foreground there are football fields and cattle grazing.

No, not that one down there in SoCal. This one exists solely in my head and in the image. Wish I was there now. Getting in some playtime with an otherwise useless shot.
While many photographers in California get crazy about one LEO, i counted seven that evening (and i had them all for myself...). Last winter there were up to 27 individuals resting in one tree. The shot looks quite bright but it was already very dark and i shot with ISO 16.000!!! The results are pretty amazing...Bavaria, Germany

North America's largest shorebird, the Long-billed Curlew, is a graceful creature with an almost impossibly long (8+ inches), thin, and curved bill. This speckled, cinnamon-washed shorebird probes deep into mud and sand for aquatic invertebrates on its coastal wintering grounds and picks up grasshoppers on the breeding grounds. It breeds in the grasslands of the Great Plains and Great Basin and spends the winter in wetlands, tidal estuaries, mudflats, flooded fields, and beaches. (CornellLab)

I came across this old buckboard in a shed at the Chellberg farm, located within the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore in northwest Indiana. Anders and Johanna Chellberg were among the many Swedish immigrants who purchased land and began farming in the area in the 1860s. The National Park Service has restored the Chellberg farm to its appearance around 1900, though I don't think the buckboard was totally restored. :-)

Flickr friends, I am back after some time away due to computer problems. I will be catching up with your latest images soon.
"long live" is a mystery word. I don't want to live forever, but I know you will live in deep of my mind forever.
Long-billed Thrasher (Toxostoma longirostre), Laguna Seca Ranch, Texas.This species is a resident of southern Texas and eastern Mexico, where it maintains territories in dense brushy habitats. In Texas, the Long-billed Thrasher is most common in dense brush in the lower Rio Grande River valley, but at least 95% of this habitat has been cleared.

He's from the old neighborhood... Whatever that means...

This was one of my favorite birds in south Patagonia. Like all meadowlarks they really prefer to show you their camouflaged backside, but this guy hopped up on a rock and posed. Gracias, señor. Torres del Paines National Park, Chile.
After enjoying a nice picnic overlooking the reservoir behind Avon Dam we ventured uphill. Initially that was a bit of a challenge as we had to cross a very boggy area and a stream. This was the view back towards the valley with the river Avon snaking through the moorland. According to our hiking guide this part of the Avon is known as Long-a-traw.
