Feeling very "In The Pink" today...maybe spring is on its way. This is the third day in a row of sunshine in Pittsburgh. Hurray!

I was taking a photo of some flowers that were on the ground when suddenly this group of dogs and people appeared. This is what I could rapidly take with my manual lens mounted on the camera.

Woke up long before the sun this morning and noticed that there was frost everywhere so I made a mental note to keep track of the time and when the sun decided to wake up, I ventured out to the yard to shoot.
I have no idea why I have such a fascination with shooting so low to the ground and in the yard, but seems like I'm frequently the crazy person laying in the grass to get that shot. Not that I mind... although it was a bit chilly and damp this morning.
Anyway, I hope everyone has had a good Saturday.

My car woes are almost over, for which I am truly thankful. The day before yesterday, I finally ordered a new vehicle to replace my 17-year-old car. Now I just have to wait 2-3 weeks (hopefully no longer!) for it to arrive. Fortunately, I can still drive my old, very noisy (dead muffler) car as far as the grocery store, which was my biggest concern. No drives for up to three weeks, which will be really hard, knowing that I am missing all the birds AND the mushrooms .... sigh. One and a half days have now passed.
On 5 July 2016, I finally drove down SE of the city to the Frank Lake area. I have missed almost all the shore birds this year and knew that if I didn't go very soon, they would all have left.
As it was, I saw very few birds of any kind. I drove straight to the blind/hide at Frank Lake, where everything was quiet, other than a few Coots with their teenage kids, several Ruddy Ducks including a female lying on her nest, a Marsh Wren that I could hear but not see, a couple of Red-winged Blackbirds, maybe three White-faced Ibis flying by, a few Tree Swallows and a rather handsome Barn Swallow. No Soras, no Eared Grebes. As soon as I had left the blind and taken a few steps down the boardwalk, I was totally taken by surprise by a Black-crowned Night Heron that flew overhead, being chased by a small shorebird. The Heron was letting out a very loud 'hoarse scream' that sounded almost human-like. Just managed to get a rapid shot of the Heron before it flew out of camera view. I so rarely see a Night Heron, though I did see and photograph a beautiful juvenile that was hanging out at Lafarge Meadows in Fish Creek Park last year (2015) and a very recent, close adult east of Calgary.
From the blind area at Frank Lake, I drove eastwards and eventually came to Mossleigh, where I stopped at the three grain elevators to take photos. Can't remember if I had been there just once or maybe twice before. On the way, I stopped to photograph an old homestead which, until recently, I have usually seen and photographed in winter, not summer.
The weather forecast was for a risk of thunderstorms, though fortunately there was just a tiny bit of short-lived rain. The previous week, there had been tornadoes north and south of Calgary, but there was no Tornado Warning in effect on this day. A great kind of sky when a few of the fields were turning bright yellow from the Canola crops. However, a real challenge for my camera, which had recently developed another problem.
A few hours later, it was time to return home after several very enjoyable hours out. More of a cloud, scenery and old barn trip than a birding trip, but those of you who know me, know I love photographing all of the above.
A very interesting and informative website, with a lot of information about this row of old elevators, is found at the following link. I find myself returning often to Chris and Connie's site to read about other places they have visited. It's well worth a visit to read about their travels and detailed research.

According to the website at the above link:
" Update: May 2013. The lineage of the Mossleigh grain elevators has been cleared up. One was built for P&H, one for Pioneer which was later taken over by P&H, and finally one was built for the Searle Grain Company, later UGG and finally P&H. All were built in 1930 but it’s not clear exactly when they changed hands. A forth elevator used to sit here (UGG) but it was destroyed by fire in the 1960s.
Update: September 2013. It’s understood that plans are in place to use the track that remains along the subdivision for some sort of tourist train, operating out of the nearby Aspen Crossing campground/garden centre complex. Time will tell if this will come to fruition – Aspen Crossing as it turns out, does have some rail cars sitting on a section of subdivision track just west of Mossleigh."

With snow forecast for in three days' time, I knew I had better get out on perhaps one last drive today before our world turns white. So far, the snow is forecast for 22 - 26, 28, 31 October and 2 November. Yuck!
There are several old barns that I try and see every one or two years. I saw most of them, though my time was cut short when I got completely lost. It was the first time I had ever driven one of the highways, but now I know where Blackfoot Crossing is! Retraced my drive all the way south again till I reached familar surroundings.
The following day, yesterday, 20 October, I had to go for another deep-muscle massage to help my painful shoulders and knees. Talk about agony, especially while my glutes were being worked on : ) So, today, needs to be a day of rest. Looks like snow is forecast for tonight, in which case, tomorrow will be another day of rest at home. Almost a week of snow expected. but the following week looks much better. Hoping that any snow that falls will melt rapidly!
"Bud Vase Flowers Triptych" by Patti Deters. Each photo in this vertical triptych is a trio of white bud vases, each holding a single flower and lined up in a row, looking simple, fresh, and pretty. Soft pink carnations, bright yellow iris, and purple Centaurea montana flowers come together in this simple modern still life triptych. Backgrounds of digital oil paint textures and overlays have been applied for artistic effect. Each of these still life vignettes are also available individually at the links below. If you like this artistic floral art work, please see more flowers, textures, and other minimal painterly images at patti-deters.pixels.com/featured/bud-vase-flowers-triptyc....
Driving around the town on Memorial Day. *The cell tower in the middle section holds "precious cargo," an Osprey pairs nest. This is the second year (2023) that we have been watching the nest. Last year (2022), they were not successful in raising young and abandoned their nest after a record-breaking heat wave that lasted over a week. They began rebuilding their nest on or about April 9th, 2023. So far, they seem to be doing well!
