My little mama was back again this morning... she was leaving me gifts right next to me... and many on the flowers!! I followed her around and for just this morning from what I could find, I collected 48 eggs... that's going out looking 5 times!!
And she found the Balloon Milkweed!!
One of two - Osprey I think - literally circling above me. I saw one of them the other day in a tree in my back yard. and they are hanging around here. Any luck, they are a breeding pair with a nest nearby. Good thing they can't handle a 70lb dog!
How amazing is it that we are wired to respond emotionally to beauty. I think it's a miraculous side effect of fear.

After spotting 6 loads and pulling 9 empties at Eastern Fence on the Calverton Spur, the RS70 crew is seen shoving on last time on the spur to reach LIRR's mainline. The crew utilized the runaround track on the spur to position the engines for the journey back west to Pineaire Yard in Brentwood. I've said it once and I'll say it again, this spur is easily my favorite spot on the Island, an area that constantly makes you ask yourself "Am I really still on Long Island?"
When people think of Long Island, New York they picture long, sandy beaches. But that is the south shore of our 23 mile wide and 120 miles long island. This is North Shore which has lots of woods and can be very hilly. This photo was taken from Centerport Beach looking south.
Taken with a 15-second exposure, because no, my reflexes aren't fast enough to catch lightning.
This one really is better in a larger size
