The Northeastern coastline of Westray, Orkney isles, is a paradise for bird watcher thanks to its steep and rugged cliffs which offer perfect conditions for sea birds to nest here. In order to get to the shore line though, one has to climb several fences since this is all pasture territory. The public pathway offers ladders to do so and once one has finally managed to get beyond, cows, sheep and fences, a magical coast awaits exploration :)
Happy Fence Friday!
A scraggly old tree gets a makeover with frost. Still alone, except for the pasture division fence. Crop rows fade and fields turn white along with the foggy sky.
Happy Fence Friday -- and have a great weekend too!
Spring pastures looking in pristine condition .... beautiful patchwork fields ...... early growth and changing colours on the trees.
In this scene from the Driftless area of Western Wisconsin, it almost appears that the frozen darkness of an approaching Winter is reaching up in an attempt to surrender the bright colorful splendor of Autumn.
I consider myself lucky to have lived my entire life in an area of the world where there are four distinct seasons – And although each is beautiful in its own unique way, time and time again my thoughts and memories always seem to take me back to the beauty of October, with the yearly anticipation of its arrival, and regrets upon its imminent departure. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
This species primarily is found in bushy pastures, second growth, gardens, and forest edges. Taxonomy based on molecular systematics has recovered Fawn-breasted Tanager as sister to Blue-and-yellow Tanager (P. bonariensis), which was previously placed in the genus Thraupis. ommon and widespread over almost all of its extensive range. Has profited from deforestation, settlement and other human activities. In some areas is regarded as a pest (and is killed in response), because it frequently damages fruit in orchards.
Another blue beauty! - Happy Monday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

En route to the Dead Sea we passed by this flock in the desert.(To the left) The colours of the arid landscape were also enchanting
there's a very small shepperd in the picture. can you spot him? I actually did not when I took the picture. :-)
This shot was taken later in the afternoon than the other two pictures I posted of these powerful monsters!
That’s the last of my wind turbine shots... for the moment at least!
On to pastures new next time!

The Pasture Damselfly (Calopteryx splendens) is a 45 to 48 mm large Damselfly from the family of Damselfly (Calopterygidae), which is fairly common in the Netherlands and Belgium with running water of reasonable quality. It is rare in the west of the Netherlands. The species is spread throughout almost all of Europe. The meadow broiler flies from May to September, preferably with slow-flowing streams, but also with rivers and canals. Due to the butterfly-like flight, they form a striking appearance.
De weidebeekjuffer (Calopteryx splendens) is een 45 à 48 mm grote Juffer uit de familie van de beekjuffers (Calopterygidae), die in Nederland en België vrij algemeen voorkomt bij stromend water van redelijke kwaliteit. In het westen van Nederland is hij zeldzaam. De soort is over vrijwel heel Europa verspreid. De weidebeekjuffer vliegt van mei tot september, bij voorkeur bij langzaam stromende beken, maar ook bij rivieren en kanalen. Door de vlinderachtige vlucht vormen ze een opvallende verschijning.
