A Green heron still hanging around. I wasn't expecting to see one today. It was a pleasant surprise.
Thanks for taking a look!

Now long abandoned, the Hawkscraig pier was erected in 1866 for paddle-steamers carrying day-trippers across the Forth from Edinburgh.
When the railway came to Aberdour in the 1890s via the Forth Rail Bridge, the demand for the service declined and the demise of the pier shortly followed.
The island in view is Inchcolm.
Many thanks as always for your welcome views and comments.

This past week we have had really strong winds. I still can't believe this old shed is still standing.

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.

Thank you all!
with a heavy yet open heart, i walk through this world, savoring moments of stillness during quiet morning hours.
I still have two of these cute little Red-breasted Nuthatches in my backyard. Back in September, there were ten of them. I hope they stay. Bill's Backyard Bird Blind

Australasian Grebe (Tachybaptus novaehollandiae)
I just had to take a shot of the Grebe sitting so still on the Vic Uni Pond this morning. Seconds later it dived and was gone.

During the renovation I did occasionally pick up the camera, because there were unique moments, like this still life ;-))
Have a wonderful start of your weekend!
