Wandering Percher (Diplacodes bipunctata)
I spotted this Dragonfly on the Vic Uni Pond. There are so many Dragon/Damselfies around the pond at the moment.
I am way behind so will catch up later this afternoon/evening.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
A lifer for me, I noticed this bird in the distance from an elevated platform in the forest. I didn't recognize the species but I was thinking it looked a lot like a Kingbird - given its size and profile. A friend who joined me on the platform identified it as an Olive-sided Flycatcher. Apparently they love to perch as high as they can and then look for insects to eat. I eventually saw three of them in the small patch of forest I was able to see. This photo was captured when the bird was on its closest perch to me, allowing me to get more bird onto my camera pixels ;)
Taken 11 May 2020 at Homer, Alaska.
After the storm passes you will always see the top of the lighthouse appear first as if to smile at you and say, I'm still here! I'm OK! Although close to the shore, it can be really wild and angry with some huge waves here, particularly against the nearby seawall. I really think the light house at New Brighton is one of the prettiest, in an intereesting environment, with Liverpool Docks, Fort Perch and so much more. I'm surprised it doesn't have a nick name such as "The Pearl of the Mersey", or the White Lady of New Brighton...or perhaps it does and I just don't know it. Other suggestions please on a postcard...
Taken during sunset New Years Eve, found a family of Eagles along the river, we stuck around and they put on a show for us.

Small cave on the Oregon coast near Bandon. On the sea stack is a lone gull that stood for the duration of 8 images for an HDR image.
I had a hard time duck-walking into this small cave. These old knees don't function like they used to! I really wanted smooth sand for this shot but was not hanging around inside for the tide to smooth it all out for me. It is only about 4' high at the inside end and about 12' long.
