There always seems to be one Reddish Egret that waits for me to visit Ding Darling NWR each February ;-)
Reddish Egrets are amusing to watch when they are looking for a meal. They run around the impoundment trying to scare up a fish or invertebrate, stop abruptly and raise their wings to shadow the shallow water for a better look, and continue the process until they find something that seems to be worth eating.
*** The Shelduck seemed to be singularly unimpressed by the noisy and boisterous landing on this trio of swans . I took this shot in 2018 at the RSPB reserve at Blacktoft Sands in East Yorkshire .
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH.
ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED

Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love
Along the wire
They say that the road ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line it's been you and me
And lovin' a music man ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully
Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
I'm lost without you
And being apart ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully
Faithfully
I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours
Faithfully
When The Night Seems Unfriendly

It seemed this guy was just waiting for me to take his photo folks, so I could do nothing but oblige, this was a gift folks, and have a wonderful weekend.
It seems my destiny is to be addicted to beach reflections on my favourite beach, and this is the time of year when that addiction is very rewarding. A few westerly winds, scudding clouds bringing passing heavy showers, with the certain knowledge of beautiful glimpses of drenching golden light. It's Your Destiny is by The War On Drugs. My wonderful Italian friend is coming tomorrow and we're off for a. week in Cornwall, so here's hoping for some wild weather and some Atlantic wonders.
This view seems to be in layers from bottom to top. Each layer got its own Topaz filter(s) and PSE enhancements. Happy Sliders Sunday!

Seems like it is very early for this Avocet to be so far along in getting his breeding plumage.

Best on black!
This is variation in colour (slightly different composition) from the same place. I deleted the b&w variation in the group with photographs that are not technically correct. I apologize to everyone who gave feedback.
Thank (in advance) to you all, very much my friends!

Seems like more show up each day. And this is nothing. I'll post some down the road where you'll see how it is. Lots of them
I seem to have mixed up some seeds this year, I thought I had a number of Cosmos growing….then this little beauty flowered…..
Silence seems to envelop existence, the quiet is disturbing. I observe in religious silence while breathing deeply. The infinite is before me. For a moment I am close to God!

Great Egret
Seems to be waiting for something to happen while standing in the early morning light streaming over the ocean and sand.
From the National Park Service:
Second only to the Great Blue Heron in size, the Great Egret (Casmerodius albus), sometimes called the Great White Egret, is one of the largest of the wading birds that inhabit the Everglades. Standing over 4 feet in height with a wingspan of more than 50 inches, it is similar in appearance to the Snowy Egret but can be distinguished by its long black legs, black feet, stout yellow bill, and tremendous size. The Snowy Egret is smaller than the Great Egret and has a black bill and yellow feet.
Although numbers of Great Egrets have recovered throughout most of the United States in response to conservation measures, numbers have declined in some parts of the southern United States because of habitat loss. Data indicate that the Florida Everglades has undergone a 90-percent reduction in the number of breeding pairs of wading birds.
Not so used to shoot straight but in this pose i loved it.
This pose is called ''Im sorry'' and it will be available inworld only, as group gift (later today).

Happy Caturday!! if you are enduring this time of sheltering at home alone, consider a rescue cat :-)

I drove out to Agua Caliente park this morning. I was watching this Great Egret hunting for fish. Seems like it would take an awful lot of fish this size to make it worth his while.
There seems to be one tall tree in this forest, the sole survivor of an ancient battle ...
View near Alp Puzzetta in Val Medel, Switzerland. Looking towards Disentis Abbey, just visible in the far distance. [Explored on 22/03/2021, #142]
it seems very likely that St Anthony's Chapel was closely associated with Holyrood Abbey, which stood just a few hundred yards away to the north-west. The two were linked by a well-made stone track (now heavily worn) with prominent kerbstones that can in places still be seen, and about three quarters of the way along this track up to the chapel is the spring and carved stone bowl known as St Anthony's Well.
It's tempting to think of St Anthony's Chapel as an outlying chapel for Holyrood Abbey, perhaps constructed as a means of getting pilgrims out from under the feet of the monks in the abbey. It has also been suggested that the chapel served as a sort of religious beacon, designed to be clearly visible to sea-borne pilgrims coming to Holyrood Abbey as they sailed up the River Forth.
As for dating, there are references to a grant paid for repairs to St Anthony's Chapel by the Pope in 1426, suggesting the building could date back into the 1300s or beyond. Details of its demise are equally unclear, but presumably, like Holyrood Abbey itself, St Anthony's Chapel fell into disuse and disrepair after the Reformation in 1560.
Today, all that remains of the chapel are parts of the north wall plus remnants of another building a little to the south-west, which has sometimes been called a hermitage but was probably just a store room. The remaining chapel wall shows signs of vaulting, and it is thought that when complete the building would have comprised a small three-bay chapel, with a three-storey tower at its west end. This odd shape, almost as tall as it was long, supports the idea that the chapel was designed as much to ensure distant visibility as to accommodate worshippers.
“Never say that you can't do something, or that something seems impossible, or that something can't be done, no matter how discouraging or harrowing it may be; human beings are limited only by what we allow ourselves to be limited by: our own minds. We are each the masters of our own reality; when we become self-aware to this: absolutely anything in the world is possible.
Master yourself, and become king of the world around you. Let no odds, chastisement, exile, doubt, fear, or ANY mental virii prevent you from accomplishing your dreams. Never be a victim of life; be it's conqueror.”
― Mike Norton
Blog Post
With all the processing options available today, it seems we become programmed to look at photos and immediately analyze what might be done to tweak them to make them better in some way. I recall when I first began photography 8 or so years ago, I knew nothing about anything and thus deleted at least 90% of my photos upon review, often all of them. Now, even though I still don't know much, I delete none on the basis of being possibly able to do something with them. Sometimes I do with pleasing results. Most of the time I do not and they remain buried in the archives where they will probably never do more than take up space.
When this view of the far north end of the lake (where the turtles bask in the spring and summer but have now already vanished into their hibernational haunts) appeared, now habitual thinking said, "what does this need?" I thought for a while and finally determined that there was really nothing I could do to make this photo better. Different maybe, but not better. Perhaps you agree.
So here you have it...an actual unenhanced SOOC snap shot of my beloved northwoods entering prime time for color. Maybe not too artsy...but still kind of pretty...;-))

Seems like every year on the range bring changes to motive power and operations on the former Missabe. However a few of the old reliables still earn their keep such as this former DM&IR tunnel motor taking empty limestone cars south along Rt 7.
The cold was our pride, the snow was our beauty. It fell and fell, lacing day and night together in a milky haze, making everything quieter as it fell, so that winter seemed to partake of religion in a way no other season did, hushed, solemn.

We seem to have had a wonderful spell of windy wild days with fantastic towering skies. It's always a case of waiting for the wind to bring another treat within the frame. Melt your heart is by Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins
We seem to have a pair of Eurasian collared doves that are wintering here at Lake Meyer Park. I really enjoy hearing their owl-like cooing calls coming from nearby spruce trees during the day.
I seem to be shooting a lot in the dark these days. A lot to do with the time of year I guess.
But slowly the days are getting longer and it's a full moon tonight.
This was shot from my garden a few nights ago.
Tiny seemed to think the fake bird just might want in on the stash and she really didn't want to share. I thinks she's negotiating as most of the peanuts (her favorite) are around the bird.
It seems we always get a snowstorm around Valentines Day and Mr. Blue Jay is waiting for me to come feed him and the squirrels.
It seemed for about a week, that I couldn't spot a mantis, and I was confused as to whether they relocated, died...or possibly ate each other ;-) The past couple of days, I've realized why they were hard to spot...and I'm sure you can guess from the image. After their last...and possibly final molt, most have changed color. Out of the 4 I found in one area, 2 were all pale brown, one was a combination of brown/green...like this male here...and one was all green, but with brown accents. When I looked around, and noticed how much of the brush is already changing, I could see how a more brown appearance helps them blend. Whereas in spring and early summer, when everything was lush and green, their bright green color was better camouflage.
The next difference....wings! Yes...we now have flying stick figures floating around our yard lol. But I found the wings covering the abdomen was making it difficult to determine gender. So with research and more watching, I found both genders have wings. But the females, being larger, with the thicker, heavier abdomens, do not fly, and therefore have wings that are just about the length of their body. Whereas the lighter, narrower males sport longer wings that are a little longer then their abdomen, and are the ones that are seen flying, usually to find a mate...of course ;-)
And they've grown much bigger! No more are they the little bitty green aliens I was used to holding. But I've found these larger, more intimidating mantises are just as friendly, and even try and climb on my camera when I get it close lol. So my mantis study continues ;-) Please view large.
The kids are going back to school in a couple of days, so being loaded with back to school arrangements and activities, this will probably be my last post for the week, but I'll be stopping by to check in with everyone. Have a wonderful week, my friends :-)
Potluck..Seen at Gibraltar point sailing club where a kind gentleman told me all the yachts would be lowered by crane into the river the following weekend...my timing is always off but never mind , this abandoned liite hulk will get its five minutes of fame instead lol....
Btw this was taken just a week or so ago, I noticed my Fuji x100v was bracketing exposure and iso..have no idea how I did that because I did not set it up to bracket.
I altered the settings to stop the bracketing and set to single shot. However it must have gone to default settings. I did notice and fully intended to remove the date to upload date but forgot 🤔
Located on the River Steeping at Gibraltar Point nature reserve, the last accessible part of the medieval port of Wainfleet Haven.
Being located at the entrance to the Wash, the club is ideal for exploring the nearby ports and harbours of the Norfolk coast as well as venturing further in, to the mystical Wash with its shifting sands and unique wildlife.
Apologies Nigel, also to anyone else who may have bothered to fave this shot before I had to move it to today. This shot seems to be entirely jinxed and dropped back 3 days lol..it is in its rightful place now..
