We purchased a solar-powered water fountain for the birds but Kakashi loves to drink from it - especially the tasty rain water. The only actual bird tlhat uses it consistently is the Gray Catbird. There's a message in there somewhere...
These two were watching a bigger bull with his herd. I am sure they were plotting how to take over. They have a few years before that will happen.
At present, green is becoming more and more common in nature. To illustrate this effect, I have taken away the other colors.
No...it is not after a forest fire :-)
Zur Zeit setzt sich das Grün in der Natur durch. Um diesen Effekt zu verdeutlichen, habe ich mal die anderen Farben weggenommen.
Nein...es ist nicht nach einem Waldbrand :-)
A friend gave me a very small passionflower seedling...not realizing it's capacity to thrive, I planted it in the garden beneath one of the olive trees...by the end of the summer it had spread to three other trees and was strangling them all...thinking I would let it go until fall, I left it to fruit...dug it up the following spring and I am still pulling strangler seedlings out of the garden 10 years later! If only it had been Microsoft stock!

Last year when I came up to Chicago for the first time, the SD70MACHs had just entered revenue service and were being broken in on a handful of trains. A year later and they have now become a dominant force on the Milwaukee District lines north out of Chicago Union Station, leading almost all of their trains. I still am a huge fan of these units, and it was still such an odd but cool choice as their next generation of motive power. In this shot, MD-W Train #2711 blasts out of downtown Chicago with SD70MACH #505 leading (3/8/25).
Huge clump of mushrooms seen in the front yard. Been a big year of mushrooms. They have been everywhere in the area.

SUL GRETO DEL FIUME NATISONE.
Arroccata sulle rive del fiume Natisone, Cividale del Friuli ha sviluppato e mantenuto intatta nei secoli un' impronta nobile e austera, degna di una capitale dalla grande importanza strategica, segnata e arricchita dal passaggio di popoli stranieri, Longobardi e Franchi.
Il fiume Natisone è per ampiezza, caratteristiche geomorfologiche, collocazione e fauna ittica uno dei più interessanti corsi d'acqua del Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Il suo percorso è accidentato e tortuoso e attraversa valli profondamente incise con terreni prevalentemente marnosi, a tratti calcarei.

"As the squirting unfolded on Laura's Beach, it revealed a Lynchian undercurrent, where the ordinary morphed into the extraordinary, and the bizarre became the new norm."

All new arrivals. I can't get within 100 Ft. or so of them or they will flock into the water. The local geese here before you could get as close as 5ft away.

The D-Day invasion, code named Operation Overlord, one of the most remarkable feats in military history was under way. It had taken over two years of planning, and was one of the best kept secrets of the war.
Operation Overlord was kept so secret that local people were unaware of what was going on and were issued with passes allowing them to go about their daily business. Even the local milkman had to sign the Official Secrets Act before he was allowed to deliver milk to the site canteen.
The site now occupied by the Country Park was a hive of activity. There was a camp of twenty-one army huts situated in the grassy areas above the cliffs and a construction works camp behind the Mulberry Harbour construction site. The present day Restaurant and Information Centre stand on a site once occupied by a barracks and a cobblers shop, where army boots were mended. After the troops left, the barracks were used as a hospital for the wounded brought back from France. Anti-aircraft guns were positioned on the cliffs above the Restaurant, in front of the Coastguard cottages and in other locations. On a number of occasions the guns were fired at enemy aircraft and at V1 flying bombs - the infamous “Doodlebugs”.
Troops and vehicles left from Lepe. Vehicles were loaded onto ships after being driven onto temporary wharves leading to pier heads. The four-legged metal structures that you can see today, were code named “Dolphins”. They were part of the pier heads and were used as mooring points for ships and landing craft. Tanks and other heavy vehicles were loaded directly from the beach after concrete beach hardening mats had been placed over the foreshore to stop them sinking into the shingle.
