This was back in June on our trip through Central Oregon. This unique site is waaaaay out in the middle of nowhere. When I finally got there, I was disappointed that there was this blinding white haze hanging from the sky and was afraid all the pictures would be crap. That's what they looked like on the LCD screen. But the haze actually let some of the subtleties of the color variations come out.
You are looking 35 million years into the past.
From last year - a scene from the Painted Desert - it can be as beautiful as other famous southwest areas but is often overlooked!
The desert is part of the "Chinie Formation" and was formed during the Triassac Period. There is a 28 mile drive through it.
After the processing, this song popped up in my head:
'Paint It Black' by The Rolling Stones.
The first to lines are:
""I see a red door and I want it painted black.
No colours anymore, I want them to turn black.""
Sweet memories of Schiermonnikoog ;-))
Happy weekend!
The painted stork (Mycteria leucocephala) is a large wader in the stork family. It is found in the wetlands of the plains of tropical Asia south of the Himalayas in the Indian Subcontinent and extending into Southeast Asia. Their distinctive pink tertial feathers of the adults give them their name. They forage in flocks in shallow waters along rivers or lakes. They immerse their half open beaks in water and sweep them from side to side and snap up their prey of small fish that are sensed by touch. As they wade along they also stir the water with their feet to flush hiding fish. They nest colonially in trees, often along with other waterbirds. The only sounds they produce are weak moans or bill clattering at the nest. They are not migratory and only make short distance movements in some parts of their range in response to changes in weather or food availability or for breeding. Like other storks, they are often seen soaring on thermals.
Painted Stork has a heavy yellow beak with a down-curved tip that gives it a resemblance to an ibis. The head of the adult is bare and orange or reddish in colour. The long tertials are tipped in bright pink and at rest they extend over the back and rump. There is a distinctive black breast band with white scaly markings. The band continues into the underwing coverts and the white tips of the black coverts give it the appearance of white stripes running across the underwing lining.
I heard rumors that the painted bunting male had returned to Dix Park in Raleigh, NC so I ventured out to see him. Merlin app first told me he was around and then there he was. Breath taking bird to observe.

When I went to geotag this photo, I used Google maps. On the street view, I found this same pub - except that when Google did it's photo (in August 2017), the building was all black. This photographer was very pleased that they had since decided to paint it red!

An Australian painted lady, Vanessa kershawi, feeding on the Jervis Bay Grevillea, Grevillea macleayana, at Hyams Beach, Jervis Bay, Australia.
The markings of the Australian painted lady are similar to the Northern Hemisphere painted lady, Vanessa cardui.
Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful for the very kind comments and faves which have been left.
Have a wonderful week!
Sadly, we had to come home early due to a windy snow storm approaching. Not a safe place to be under trees that have branches yet to be tested by winter. This weather event is quite unusual for this time of year, might even be record breaking.
None the less, we did manage to have some fun and pretty days. And with some delightful soft Autumn colors. Hopefully we can try going out again in November for a short trip.
I hope you will all understand I do not want to be back fully until the 5th. as previously planned, but I will check in and work a bit when I have time.
Lot's to do with unpacking, cleaning and prepping for my brothers annual long visit. So off to it.
