Reddish Egret

 

From eBird:

 

An entertaining heron to watch—known for sprinting, jumping, and spinning around in shallow water with its wings held up. Dark morph is more common than white morph. Adults are dark gray with a rusty head and neck. Immatures are paler grayish and rusty overall. In breeding plumage, the pink bill and blue lores can become shockingly bright. White morphs are similar to other egrets, but note behavior, grayish legs, and pink bill base (adults). Found exclusively near the coast, especially on mudflats. Typically uncommon, usually seen singly or in scattered small numbers. Dark morph most easily confused with Little Blue Heron, but Reddish Egret is larger and forages much more actively.

 

From the photographer - these are fun birds to watch and photograph - I found this one wading in the ocean looking for its first meal of the day as the sun was rising.

Relations Are Like Electric Currants. Wrong Connection Will Give You Shocks Throughout Your Life, But The Rights One Will Light Up Your Life.

I spotted this Great Blue Heron hitting the surface of the water with its beak, but was shocked to see what it had found. I had no idea that we had snakes this size at the wetlands! I watched for 15 minutes before the heron had worn it out and ate it - even as it was still moving, albeit slower!

The speed at which the spark goes from the point of your finger to the static discharge site. Actually I have no idea if there is something called electro-acceleration, but it sounded cool. ^ ^ (Shot from the bedroom window)

 

Thank you for visiting my photo stream!

 

Hope everyone has a shocking good weekend! :))

Happy Mono Monday!

I don't have much to say on this one... but I do know how to change a light bulb!

Pareidolia "for this theme, you are to look for and photograph faces in everyday objects or in your surroundings."

It looks like this lighthouse actually lights up. How would you like to be delivering mail In the rain to this person. You stick your wet hand too far into the mailbox and someone turns on the switch ... shocking!

I have seen all kinds of decorative uses for lighthouses in the yard around here. Surprisingly, this is the first mailbox lighthouse I have seen. I suppose a boat mailbox will be next.

 

a series of small storms glide across the sky, lightning was pretty good

Had to make cover under the deck canopy while the rain got heavier. The result was shooting this scene further back than I normally would, and like this perspective from the deck.

 

The lightning display was terrific.

 

Middle River, Maryland

Another from the lightning series along Middle River. These bolts were at least farther off, and not so close like some of them were overhead ... getting to close to comfort!

UPDATE - Gertie has been adopted and leaves for her new home soon <3

 

Having photographed hundreds of rescued cats I've found very few cases of wilful cruelty, nonetheless they are appalling and shocking when they do occur.

Poor Gertie has survived such a situation and is in safe hands now, looking for a loving home. She is super-friendly and I had no idea about her terrible past when I handled her on Saturday.

I find the dark leaves of this dahlia the perfect foil for the vibrant colour of its flowers.

Previously unpublished shot from August 2019. Enjoy!

A rare early evening thunderstorm provided an opportunity to visit to my go-to spot for lighting photos, Coot Lake in North Boulder. The core of the storm is approaching with a sheet of rain illuminated by the lightning. The lightning also illuminated hunting bats over the water- one is visible as a spot just a bit to the right of the center near the top of the frame.

  

I drew the curtains, saw puddles on the ground, rain coming down and the only colour my neighbour's Christmas lights twinkling away in the quiet of the morning - and chose the brightest shot I could find to post.

  

🌷many thanks everyone for visits🌷🌷

Macro Mondays Contraption

Induction Coil

 

I asked my husband if he had anything resembling a contraption as I was struggling with this task! He was in his element rummaging through the garage and brought out so many things. I decided on this one in the end as it had a bit of colour to it and looked most like a contraption, although the majority of his items in the garage look like contraptions to me!! Apparently you wire the terminals to a battery and hold the handles to get an electric shock!!!!....................... HMM

Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, GB, November 2020

Oregon sure was putting on one hell of a show in the skies tonight! While out capturing HDR shots of the clouds, I by chance, caught a nice lightning show :)

I took this picture a few weeks back during the raising of the flag by Rochelle firefighters during the town's Lincoln Highway Days celebration. They used a ladder truck and fortunately the wind cooperated, unfurling our nation's flag perfectly.

 

I remember the events of September 11th vividly, it was shocking how it slowly played out and it became more terrifying with each passing minute...

There are several motivations to this post. First and foremost is the existence of the lightning which has been remarkably absent in our area this year. While we would certainly welcome the rain associated with thunderstorms the lack of a common ignition source for forest and grass fires is appreciated.

 

Shocking also is the high court of the land displaying its increasing political nature by enhancing the potential for gun violence while a polarized Senate exhibits rare bipartisanship in taking baby steps to enhance gun safety.

 

Finally, there is the gathering energy of snow in the mountains of Colorado ready to smother the lightning moving in from the southeast (sigh...Avs in 6 !?!)

 

Note the "smudge" in the upper mid-right portion of the photo, which is actually a bat illuminated by the lightning flash.

All this just because I'm wearing pants ? 🤔

Seriously guys, it's just fabric, not witchcraft... and two against one, really ? 😲

You flatting me !

But if you thought I was going to kindly agree to let the rope be put around my neck to be hanged, you're wrong... 😡😅

I'd rather kick your ass !

And if you find that so shocking, wait until you see what i can do with boots ! 👢💥😈
