I spied this heron perched in a bush as it watched for fish. Then it made its move to a lower branch closer to the water. I liked the catchlight in the shot.
This cormorant was working one part of the lake, then evidently was dissatisfied, so moved to the west end. Fortunately for me, I was well situated for the flight.
Cape Hatteras Light is a lighthouse located on Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks in the town of Buxton, North Carolina and is part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, with its black and white candy-cane stripes, is one of the most famous and recognizable lighthouses in the world. Protecting one of the most treacherous stretches of the Outer Banks, with a beam of light that spans 20 miles into the ocean, the lighthouse is also the world's tallest brick lighthouse at a staggering 208' ft. tall.
In 1999, the lighthouse was moved due to dangers posed by erosion, but the original site (about a half mile away) is marked with a small post on the beach
This photo was taken before the Lighthouse was relocated.
It's still "Mother's Day" in my time zone so I'm sneaking this one in under the wire. Long-tailed Weasel mom relocates her youngster, half dragging half carrying. She's probably saying something like "I TOLD you not to play in the street". I'm sure our hard-working moms of the world can relate.
Had to relocate some mantises that were protecting our cucumber patch so I could remove the old and plant some new. I was worried about doing so thinking it would freak out and move on. It didn't. Just after putting this one down it immediate caught a bug and proceeded to have lunch like business as usual.
On one of the roads towards the great freshwater lake named Tonle Sap, central Cambodia. Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia flooding a vast area in the rainy season and retreating significantly in the dry season. Small homes are often relocated closer to the waters edge in the dry season.
Cormorants moving from one end of the pond at Delores Fenwick Nature Center to the other. About 50 birds in this mini-migration. Could have used more DoF. Pearland, Texas.
I was thrilled to see this bird standing in the upper most pond of Fernhill Wetlands mitigation area. I got as close as I could without scaring it, took numerous photos of it sitting still and hunting, but I really wanted a flight shot. I don't intentionally disturb birds, so I waited and waited. Finally after about an hour, two people walked up to the pond even nearer the bird, and loudly said, "I WONDER WHAT THAT PHOTOGRAPHER IS LOOKING AT?" Seconds later I had my shot!

At Fernald, Lodge Pond is a sure-fire spot to observe many ducks. if one is patient, afternoon light hits the ducks flying in or simply relocating across the pond. The dry weeds on the banks provide great background.

BNSF 6643 heads down the BNSF Hannibal Sub. just north of Elsberry, MO. with 25 CitiRail Gevo's in tow. Running in a 1x2 formation to haul the units at this point of the journey under the symbol D-ALNSTL3 05T. This is 1 of 4 planned moves to relocate the units from Alliance, NE to St. Louis, MO. The units are headed for the Prairie Lines yard for storage in St. Louis, MO., I'm guessing that Citi got tired of paying BNSF for storage.
CitiRail units in this move: 1333, 1410, 1212, 1350, 1429, 1303, 1332, 1434, 1412, 1347, 1318, 1435, 1213, 1208, 1325, 1338, 1210, 1310, 1345, 1415, 1411, 1314, 1419, 1316, & 1201.
Praying Mantis
A species of Mantid that I don't see very often. You can see some yellow colouring. This year we have cleared the garden alongside our driveway where these appeared from time to time. This one was on our Wisteria, looks like it has found a new home.
Marsh Life 11
Spring returns to the Fobbing Marsh. A swan, sensing a presence, relocates 100 metres downstream. No panic, no drama.
Fobbing, Essex, England
This birdhouse has been moved a few times under my watchful eye. I didn’t think it was being used enough. Location, location, location is that the problem. Well I did move it to its current location. I think my “Birdhouse Relocation” program was a success as I see it’s getting more use. Gratitude and Kindness are being paid by the current occupants.
Sedd/ Seat - Lytham Green, Fylde, Sir Gaerhirfryn/ Lancashire ▪️ 'Within days of Israel’s assault on Gaza in October 2023, Israel’s Intelligence Ministry was circulating a plan for the entire population of Gaza to be moved to the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, and an Israeli think tank had drawn up a strategy for the “relocation and final settlement of the entire Gaza population.”
Indeed, Israel has been on record scheming to find a way to relocate the population of Gaza for many decades.
That’s what this is all about. That’s all this has ever been about. It’s not about hostages. It’s not about Hamas. It’s not about Israel defending itself. It’s about stealing a Palestinian territory, and anyone who says otherwise is lying.' Caitlin Johnstone
As partof 51's relocation from the Roundhouse to the Car Shop, there were a number of pieces of equipment that required movement. The 147 dates to the 1800's, and was pretty neat to see out in the light of the day.

It's embarrassing how many cobwebs and dog hairs the small animals find behind our furniture. Here I bring this stag beetle girl outside. Yesterday we had a cornu aspersum with cobwebs and dog hairs. We've put it outside. Fun fact is, that the giant house spiders don't collect dirt before I find them and scream (I would be good in a bad horror movie). Two days ago, I saw a giant house spider in the bathroom. I screamed, and the brave husband caught the girl (it was a girl) in a glass and threw her outside. I'm sure she comes right back inside to look for a cosy spot for to make a cocoon. She was completely clean!
After relocating two of its three C424m’s to the rear of the train, the remaining unit leads the westbound Delaware & Hudson Griegsville salt train out of Hornell, New York. The entire train can be seen her, including the two units on the rear of the train. The former Erie Hornell shops can be seen in the distance, sporting a huge “GENERAL ELECTRIC“ sign. On this day, several Apache Railway C420’s were in the house.
Holy water in Mission Espada which is part of the Mission Trail National Park in San Antonio, Texas. It was relocated here in 1731 from east Texas where it was established in 1690.San Antonio Missions Trail is five missions connected by the San Antonio River. The trail is The San Antonio Missions National Historic Park. The 15 mile trail consists of bike, jogging and hiking paths with about 2 1/2 miles between each mission. Mission Concepcion is just one of the five missions. It was completed in 1731 and is a U.S. National Historic Landmark as are the other missions located on the trail. The Mission Alamo is also on this trail. The missions on this trail are a UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The five missions on the trail are Mission Concepcion, San Antonio de Valero ((Alamo), San Jose, San Francisco de la Espada, and San Juan. They were built by Spanish Colonial residents.
One of several cottages in this street reputed to have been relocated from the gold-mining town of Walhalla.
The Victorian Railways finally completed the railway line to Walhalla in 1910, sadly about the same time that mining in the area became unprofitable and most mines closed and the residents packed up and left. The population during the gold era peaked at around 4,000 compared with today's permanent population of approximately 20 residents.
So it was somewhat ironical that the railway line's main function became the removal of houses and other buildings from the town it was built to service. Today, they are dotted over many areas of Gippsland and beyond.
Sitting along the Northeast Corridor in Harrison, NJ under a fresh dusting of snow is a handful of AEM-7 AC rebuilds waiting to complete their trip to their new home in Connecticut for storage.
The night before there were nearly twice as many but due to a multiple lite engine restriction on Metro-North's New Haven Line the collection of retired motors had to be cut in half to complete the move.

With Canada Day and the concomitant fireworks coming, I decided to experiment with previous fireworks photos. I took a 2023 fireworks photo from one location and merged it with a daylight phone photo from 2026 from another location. Obviously, I darkened the daylight photo.
