Eastern Great Egret (Ardea modesta)
Showing breeding plumage and colouring. Working the shadows at Altona Beach.
Well that is what if feels like after a few days of Christmas celebrations. I seem to have lost all track of time. We were up in London yesterday at the Bridge Theatre seeing Jim Broadbent in a play. I can never get over the amount of tourists there, not matter what time of year you go, and yesterday was no different. We had to 'fight' our way along from London Bridge to Tower Bridge. Completely exhausted by the time we got home.
Now that things are relatively back to normal I will be able to catch up with you all.

I have a window feeder and love to watch the birds who visit. Yesterday I was out front, taking a photo of the snow on the hills, when I saw this little guy pop in the feeder. Our Christmas tree, which sit in front of this window, provided the perfect snow flake, even though we have no snow.
Pittosporum Shield Bug (Monteithiella humeralis)
Closer to home this time, the Jade Plant is next to the Pittosporum Tree!
With stealth moves and very sharp eyes this Great Blue Heron is on the lookout for what he or she hopes will become lunch.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul....Darrell.
Have a safe and happy day dear flickr friends and so many thanks for your visits to my photo-stream.
Like a creepy neighbor, this Great Egret peers over the tall grasses to get a glimpse at what's on the other side.
A young adult black bear peers out at me from the limb where he rests, entertaining himself by idly stripping the bark from the branches. This is a wild cinnamon-phase black bear who is at ease in my presence.
Hey, Dad, now that we're peers, I've noticed-
"-DEF!nitely not peers-"
-that even though we're the same age, I have much more energy than you and can still run like the wind, while you now run more like breaking wind. What's wrong with you?
"Okay, coupla things: we are not equals; you're being rude; and as you've seen with most other people my age-"
-Our age-
"-My age, humans usually wind down slowly as they get older, while dogs can often go-go-go until they hit the wall. It's physiological."
I'm physical and logical too. That's how I know that it's good for us to take our walks out here, because there's no walls for me to hit, and in that case I should live forever, right?

(See what looks like a river channel of dry weed in the distance? That is in fact part of the old Ottawa River bed from about 8000 years ago, and we're playing on what was the sandy shore of an island.
This Mer Bleue region was in the 50's considered for a dump, or draining and developing, among other short-sighted ideas.
Thankfully wiser heads eventually prevailed, and this region is now considered a sensitive ecological marvel with it's own rare ecosystem. And some of the island shores make great sandboxes.)

That wonderful sunset light created a beautiful warmth to a very cold November evening. It's hard to even know that it was November by the looks of it, but it definitely was. I am so thankful that places like this actually exist in the Midwest since we are so far away from either the Pacific or Atlantic Oceans. The Great Lakes are like our own slice of beach paradise and certainly worth the time to visit and soak it in. Praying that you all would be filled with hearts of Thanksgiving in this season and in everyday life as there is so much that the Lord has done for us!
