The cattle egret this time of year has a special beauty. It is decked out with special colors and feathers to attract a mate. How wonderful to see these beautiful birds at this time of year and especially to see them when the sun is quietly settling down for the night. It is as if they are caught in the spotlight just one more time before the sun finally sets. I love their incredible beauty and hope they will return tomorrow
Have a blessed night and a beautiful new day tomorrow !

This rather interesting effect has resulted in DW245 looking like it's literally about to "take off" or fly away from the ground!
Also note the "Lakeside" blind, which I hope the driver didn't use for the return trip!
If buffers and chains scare you and you think trains do not exist outside of the US and Canada it might be a good time to unfollow. However if you like high hood ALCO's in exotic scenery then stay tuned.

I found this chestnut on a rainy October day. There were lots of people around, collecting chestnuts from the ground, but this one was still resisting on the tree. The local chestnuts are delicious and are used in everyday cooking.

When bedtime approaches they very carefully supervise and monitor me to ensure that I adhere to their schedule (which also provides them with the option of high quality snuggle time - or not as they choose). It's a pretty mundane type of preparation, nothing fancy like decorating for the holidays, but given how this week is going, that's as fancy as it will get.
