. . . My Trail Camera finally caught a good image of a beautiful Red Shouldered Hawk on the dock! And the bird had the brains enough to look right at the camera too! I have been seeing this bird on and off for a few weeks now, but this is the first close up portrait!
Have a great weekend Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
It looks like a serene landscape picture, but actually a lot is going on in the background. The surroundings of this pretty mountain lake serve as a cow pasture, and usually the cows don't care much about hikers. But in this case they seemed to be offended by a young woman sunbathing next to the lake. Apparently she was occupying THEIR spot. At first she obviously thought they wanted to be petted, but when more cows showed up and shoved her and her things back towards the trail she quickly grabbed her things and retreated (visible in the background, on the right lakeshore). Judging from her clothing situation I'd say she felt in a hurry. When she had left the cows broke out in what can only be described as collective triumphant mooing (see the photo in the comments).
It was fun to watch... from a safe distance LOL.
Plumbago is a genus of 10–20 species of flowering plants in the family Plumbaginaceae, native to warm temperate to tropical regions of the world. Common names include plumbago and leadwort (names which are also shared by the genus Ceratostigma). The species include herbaceous plants and shrubs growing to 0.5–2 m tall. The leaves are spirally arranged, simple, entire, 0.5–12 cm long, with a tapered base and often with a hairy margin. The flowers are white, blue, purple, red, or pink, with a tubular corolla with five petal-like lobes; they are produced in racemes. The flower calyx has glandular trichomes (hairs), which secrete a sticky mucilage that is capable of trapping and killing insects; it is unclear what the purpose of these trichomes is; protection from pollination by way of crawlers (ants and other insects that typically do not transfer pollen between individual plants), or possible protocarnivory. 47126
I’m reliably informed this is a Heath Spotted Orchid Dactylorhiza maculata, also called the Moorland Spotted Orchid.

Though the door to the milk house is ajar, the productive days of this dairy barn are relegated to odd jobs of storing things unrelated to its original purpose. We reach a point in life too quickly when what we will be remembered for in this life is pretty well set with no chance to do things over.

Another cookie jar shot but pretty simple stuff because we are busy doing things we didn't do yet, if you know what I mean. A cookie jar shot stretched a little with one of the transform tools. Another photo turned b&w but was small so used the free transform tool to make it fit a full layer over the cookie jar and all colour removed leaving just the b&w outline. The 'show guides' in Ps is handy for this. Then used the overlay mode difference before flattening again. Fries my eyeballs a little bit but my brain will feel uncomfortable if i don't do a third. i don't have a third so will have to look for something suitable later...Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday...Sue..x

2023 - the grounds of the Independent Living Resource Center were full of beautiful blooming yellow lilies. These were among many near the front entrance.
There was a debate in my house about when to take the Christmas decorations down. In the end, we took down half of them one day, the other half the next day. . We invested in a really useful bauble box some years ago and we placed them gently into this. Then up in the attic they go until next Christmas. One last chance to shine here.
Because of higher than average rains, the desert is full of colors now from weeds popping up everywhere and have little flowers blooming on them. - San Felipe, Baja (Mexico).
Google Lens tells me this may be Geum coccineum, common name dwarf orange avens, a plant in the rose family. I call it a pretty orange flower. It's uplifting to see gardens coming alive after our long winter!
