“She knocked and waited, because when the door was opened from within, it had the potential to lead someplace quite different.”
Quote ― Laini Taylor, Daughter of Smoke & Bone
Photographed the Green Heron perched on a stump in a quagmire of duckweed waiting for any movement of a potential meal in the Banana Creek Marsh of of Alligator Alley trail in the Circle B Bar Reserve in the City of Lakeland in Polk County Florida U.S.A.

Although I don't really care for marigolds, I thought this one looked quite attractive in her frills...
Found in Funchal, Madeira. Only one house like this in a busy and perfectly non-derelict street. I wondered about it as the foreground looks like scary paving stones. What was the purpose of the building?

and Jan:
A Great Blue Heron takes off with an armored catfish across Horsepen Bayou in morning fog. The invasive tropical fish, in a catatonic state from the recent freeze, was easy pickings but potentially deadly to the bird with its barbed fins. Possibly alert to the danger, the bird did not attempt to swallow the fish but rather manipulated it over and over with its beak before flying out of sight. When I encountered what I believe was the same bird some time later, it was neither dead nor still in possession of the intact fish. Eaten? Abandoned? A bayou mystery.
the world is complicated and often tragic. my heart breaks open with sadness and compassion. the dalai lama says, “it is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.” right now, there is great potential for doing good. may we each take the next most skillful step toward wise, compassionate, impactful action.

The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.
This was how the sky looked about 10 minutes or so before sunset time along Middle River. At this time my dad who came out to see how things would unfold this evening were talking about the potential for colors this evening based on the cloud deck and the clearing in the sky farther to the west.
The winds were calm as well, creating a nice reflective surface. I like to call this time the 'potential energy' of the sunset colors was very HIGH at this moment ... all the elements were there as long as there were not farther off clouds below the horizon in the west that we could not see. Considering the skies were not forecasted to be clear until closer to the following morning ... you could not be 100 positive that the sun would be blocked cutting off the light as things progressed.
Alas, the potential energy was all released over the following 30 minutes.
One of the later captures is below in the comments.
With escaping sun light and growing shadows, UP OCS special is making up some lost time flying by RD 71 North of Alliance. Both 20E and 066 were blowing for the crossing at the same time, avoiding a potential double.

The cheetah, swift and wild,
A streak of lightning, unstyled.
Its legs, like pistons, drive it on,
A blur against the setting sun.
The tree, reaching for the sky,
Its roots delve deep, its branches fly.
It grows and grows, year after year,
A testament to nature's cheer.
But humans, though endowed with might,
Can choose to dim their inner light.
They limit growth, both mind and soul,
Trapped in cages of their own control.

Steigerwald's male Northern Harrier is being allowed on the prime hunting grounds. This can only mean one thing, his potential mate is interested in making babies and having him feed her while she's on the nest. Signs of things to come!
Try it and you'll be surprised! :-)
Explore. Thanks for your visit and have a good week!
I once again apologise for not being able to retribute the kind visits of my flikr friends as often as I would like o, but latelly I've had to reduce my flickr time to a minimum.

It looks like Canada jays, aka "Camp Robbers," are exploring a new criminal enterprise. I'm not sure if this bird is planning on simply robbing this vehicle, or stealing it entirely.
Beware at trailheads!
Spray Park parking lot, Mt. Rainier NP
A quiet scene from Col de la Cayolle, located in Mercantour National Park. At over 2,300 meters altitude, a shallow alpine pond mirrors golden grasses and scattered rocks. Rugged slopes rise in the background beneath a clear blue sky, in complete silence. Late summer light, no human presence—just untouched nature, where stone meets grass.
