The Highland (Scottish Gaelic: Bò Ghàidhealach; Scots: Hielan coo) is a Scottish breed of rustic beef cattle. It originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Western Islands of Scotland and has long horns and a long shaggy coat. It is a hardy breed, able to withstand the intemperate conditions in the region. The first herd-book dates from 1885; two types – a smaller island type, usually black, and a larger mainland type, usually dun – were registered as a single breed. It is reared primarily for beef, and has been exported to several other countries.

A killdeer looks to the west at the San Louis National Wildlife Refuge.

All good things come to an end! This was the view from the bow of the ship as we sailed back southward through the iInside Passage from the Arctic Circle to Bergen.

The trip was everything I had hoed it would be. The only regret was that I could have seen the last couple of spectacular Aurora displays whilst we were on land. I've got so many beautiful images of the shapes and moving curtains of the Northern Lights that I taken deck and whilst they are decent images they are not as tack sharp's the ones I took on shore.

Here's Mr. Drake mesmerized by the Autumn reflections in the creek, not knowing I was taking his photo.

Just something really cinematic and atmospheric about my view from the back window. :-)

Back side of old store, Omaha Arkansas,

I believe that this is the original general store

and Post Office building, built about 1873.

This would make it one of the oldest structures

on the area. Upon verification, would be eligible

for the National Register of Historic Places.

This red-tailed hawk wanted to be able to see all angles, so it looked back over it's shoulder to find possible prey. Taken at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge.
