This is a photo of the hull on a fishing boat that has been scraped prior to being repainted. I love how the project has unintentionally created a fantastic abstract image that could be hanging in an art gallery. There are some intriguing pareidolia portraits in the image.
A new buck has shown at the scrapes we have staked out and started his own scrape. He's rubbed orbital scent on the leaves above, urinated down his back legs, and is pawing the ground to leave his mark.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Restharrow scrape.
This was unexpected (though it's appropriate for the temperatures we been suffering).
It didn't stick around too long though. The Canada geese chased the barnacle, a swan chased both the barnacle and Canada geese and the black headed gulls plagued the swan. No a lot of peace and quiet to be had.
Juvenile Mute on the scrape a couple of days ago. Looks like the adult feathers are slowly coming through.
In the Dance in the Destruction Dance by Joo Choon Lin performed at the Singapore Arts Museum as part of the Singapore Biennale 2022 exhibition during Singapore Arts Week 2023, movement, sound and form explore the distinction between our reality and appearance.
How we experience the world often depends on how our senses and mind interpret things.
Benny and Mr. Robot in the awesome "Liberazione" diorama by oirad72. Thank you Dario for your hospitality! ;-)
Rain has stopped play so an old image to greet the last week of the year :-)
Hope that it's a good one! (week ) :-)
The tanker pilot comes in just behind the ridge and above the treetops. This is a different Lockheed P-2 Neptune than the one I posted the other day. It's a beautiful plane that is somewhat reminiscent of WWII bomber designs.

I don't think so, 603 has suffered unecessary storage and finally it's reactivated!
C510, BRM002, 603 and C505 lead loaded Allied Pinnacle grain train 3244 into Picton. 603 has been stored since 2013 and SSR have recently put the time into reactivating it. Given how useful and reliable similar locos 602 and 4532 it is welcoming to see this loco back.

Tri-colored Heron feeding on menhaden on Horsepen Bayou. Unusual in that the first strike apparently missed but instead of hitting reset, the bird pursued its target until almost its whole body was submerged. Came up with the fish and never lost its grip on the pole.
Moose of Grand Teton
Moose are the largest member of the deer family and love cold weather. They frequent marshy meadows and edges of lakes and streams. About 800 Moose inhabit the southern part of Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park and surrounding national forests. Moose are most heavily concentrated in Grand Teton Park.
To keep from sinking in mud while feeding, as the animal lowers its foot, a large dewclaw spreads to better support the weight. Similarly, the odd-looking crook of the hind leg allows a Moose to pull the leg straight up, more easily releasing it from deep, sucking mud.
Bull Moose lose their antlers anytime between December and March. Most of the Moose drop them in January. Immature bulls may not shed their antlers for the winter but retain them until the following spring. Female Moose do not have antlers.
A new set of antlers begin to grow the following spring, nourished by the covering of furry skin known as velvet. They take three to five months to develop fully – the velvet is then scraped and rubbed off against bushes and branches. The antlers are then ready for battle. Generally, each set of antlers will be larger than the one before.
Birds, carnivores, and rodents eat dropped antlers as they are full of protein and Moose themselves will eat antler velvet for the nutrients.
Take note—cow Moose with young can be particularly dangerous.

Peregrine Falcon
From Cornell:
The Peregrine Falcon is a very fast flier, averaging 40-55 km/h (25-34 mph) in traveling flight, and reaching speeds up to 112 km/h (69 mph) in direct pursuit of prey. During its spectacular hunting stoop from heights of over 1 km (0.62 mi), the peregrine may reach speeds of 320 km/h (200 mph) as it drops toward its prey.
