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 birds seem to have started their nesting early here in SE Florida. Wood Storks, which generally begin to arrive in their nesting area usually show up after the Great Blues and Great Egrets have chicks. This year, they are beginning to show up early. It will be interesting to observe how things unfold. Here's a shot from April of this year of a stork bringing in some nesting material.
Seems like it is going to get worse in Ukraine according to the French president and now the nuclear plant is on fire !! Let's hope there is no nuclear fall out !
Stop the war now !

Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves.... it is always appreciated.
This is a Monk Parakeet we saw in Barcelona. We saw a few in Athens as well.
Coming from the north we had not seen them before and we loved them.
But they seem to be a menace in the countries they settle in. It is considered an invasive species 🤔

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

===When you fight so hard but nothing seems to turn out right
When it breaks your heart and life seems like the longest fight
When all you see is trees but you can't see the forest
Oh baby turn to me, I'll show you where the light is
You can count on me, I'll stitch you into my heart
You know I can't breathe, you're so deep in my lungs
Oh my, oh my love's in the air
The fire, the flame, I'm there
Yes, my love's here on Earth
The ocean, death and birth
Yes, my love's in the sky
The pain you feel tonight
Through this joy I call life
So when you feel alone, like nobody will help you
Just think of me in all my heart I have kept you
You can count on me, I'll stitch you into my heart
You know I can't breathe, you're so deep in my lungs
Oh my, oh my love's in the air
The fire, the flame, I'm there
Yes, my love's here on Earth
The ocean, death and birth
Yes, my love's in the sky
The pain you feel tonight
Through this joy I call life
Through tsunamis, earthquakes or a broken spirit
When you scream with no voice, you know I will hear it
You know I will come running when I feel the Earth move
Through a flood, toil and blood, through the tides of terror
Feel my love, feel my love, let it breathe forever
You know I will come running when I feel the Earth move
Oh my, oh my love's in the air
The fire, the flame, I'm there
Yes, my love's here on Earth
The ocean, death and birth
Yes, my love's in the sky
The pain you feel tonight
Through this joy I call life====
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.

Storms always seem to provide me with... a lesson from Brother Fear and Sister Awe. To the east the darkening clouds & wind rushed to engulf the landscape while to the west the sun was setting...

“It’s not a bad lesson to learn in the bleaker months: how you view a storm is a question of perspective; provided you find the right rock to watch it from, it could be the most incredible thing you’ll ever witness.”

Thanks for the visit, comments, awards, invitations and favorites.
It seems all that a bear needs is one good tree to shimmy up if he feels the need. I think this is a youngish black bear who I found up in a tree this morning midway down the hill from my house, probably 20 feet up. I had the advantage of being uphill and not too far away, but please know that I was in a completely safe position with a little barn a few feet away. I would never stick around and try to photograph a bear without complete access to safety!
If anyone has feelings about the age, I am very interested to know what they think. I did see a small cub and mother back in the beginning of June. This bear does not seem to have any adult around him.
I hope all are well and enjoying the summer's end. Thank you for any comments and taking the time to stop by!
Concentration to the max. ... He seems to be in another world ...
Wonder what's on his mind? ... Anyway, enjoy your treats.

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!

Yes, I always seem to have a drink in my hand...or I'm wishing I did! I'm a luscious lush! Okay, just a lush! I am chilling out here with a delightful strawberry margarita (heavy on the Patron!) and my pups, of course. When nobody else has time in their busy schedules to get tipsy with me, the pups are always game on! hehehe I have a Corgi in real life, so they are extra dear to my heart, and they are total rascals, constant energy! While I am a couple of sheets to the wind here, I think I will be quite safe as these two keep their sharp lil puppy eyes on everything that's going on!

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…..
I seem to have gone daft on Harry's toys, sorry it will stop soon he doesnt have any other retro type vehicles left to shoot....he does have a London bus though that I might just have to get a shot of but I'll leave it for a bit....give you a break hehe.
This Autumn seemed to be all about waiting for clouds to move and let the sun in. It pays to be patient which isn't my strong suit, except for when it comes to horses. This was as close I got to some nice light and mere minutes after I captured this image the entire horizon was covered in dark clouds as the night swiftly closed in. It's these moments that we as photographers live for: will it or won't it light up?
What you don't see is a drone flying over me while in my kayak. It sounded like an overgrown bee. A girl can't even be alone anymore in this once sacred place, still, I have to wonder what his shots looked like from way up there.

Although titles may seem like a countdown to sunrise, I simply wanted to post in chronological order. When I get to the shot taken at official time of sunrise, it will actually be looking away from the sun. I will also be including images taken after sunrise.
I can not resist taking shots of grasses, and although I found the bit of frozen water interesting, my main focus was on the grasses and the western sky which had more clouds than looking east. In hindsight I wish I would have zoomed in to the frozen water as an extra shot, but I was trying to work quickly as the light, and especially the skies were changing very rapidly.

Seems like it was several weeks that I hadn't seen any kingfishers around the lake, then last week, there was a couple hanging out together, and another individual. Nice to see them!
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).

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...;-))
These trees seems to cry for help, probably any help will be too late 😢

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.
Which fact seems somehow totally amazing and somehow not really amazing at all.
At the weekend we unexpectedly found ourselves at Lee on Solent in front of the camera, a change from the usual when we meet a stranger: me behind the camera and Ray patiently waiting at a discreet distance. Our story involves a group of people with a lady photographer taking turns to have a photoshoot whilst one of their party looked after a little dog, not allowed on the beach
The lady photographer approached us, sitting on the next seat, with a request to look after her little dog to which we readily agreed with a cheeky request from me that we might have our photo taken. Believe it or not, I had left my camera at home.
Thus we have received a gallery of photos together with happy anniversary wishes, and have chosen this one for our celebration. Thank you to Bella, the little dog, and of course especially to Myriame, the lovely lady, who we discovered is a professional photographer.
