An American Oystercatcher strolls down the beach, eyes to the ground in search of shellfish.

Red Shouldered Hawk on the bat-house. He looks like a sentry soldier on watch, but I imagine he is on the hunt for his next meal.

The lake out back in our hood.

Kodak Ektar 125. I shot this late 80’s.

Cagnes-sur-Mer (Alpes-Maritimes)

Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) immature

This young Cocky was with quite a large flock at Cobbledicks Ford Reserve yesterday.

Sheep on the cliffs near Neist Point.

Fifth pocket on a pair of five pocket blue genes. The small fifth pocket was originally intended for a pocket watch but almost no one carries a pocket watch these days and few even wear a traditional wristwatch. This small bit of obsolescence is for the Crazy Tuesday Group, challenge, Outdated.

Happy Crazy Tuesday!

If not for Macro Mondays, I may never have realised that my everyday watch since just about forever is water resistent to 50M

White-tailed doe winter colored coat.

Song Sparrow,watching and learning from others.

These little ones were captured a week ago also, but the TransMontana of MMV ( flic.kr/p/2pDz1CE ) deserved to be released earlier. I watched these little flowers every morning while going to work, and hoped they will survive the week without wounds. On the end of the week they looked well enough for some bokeh pictures.

Watching.

I really don't dig heights, 3 or 4 feet from edge and no railing. A white knuckle experience to say the least :)

The watch⌚

A wind blown couple are seen seated in a prime spot on top of Dingli Cliffs. Their patience will be tested by the biting cold onshore breeze but their reward was this ever changing sunset.

We used a bus pass for the week in Malta and had to catch three buses to get to this point where we could take our sunset hike. These cliffs mark the high point of Malta and offer a sheer drop into the Mediterranean of 830 feet.

A peregrine falcon, the fastest animal on the planet, was keeping watch. It was an amazing experience watching the pair of them on this early morning.
