Taken on a drive in the country have a nice day.
Thank you all for your visits comments and faves much appreciated!
A few weeks ago Sookie went missing from mid day on Monday to Friday morning I was beside myself with worry walking the streets calling her name, posting flyers asking people to check sheds and garages and putting up posters.
Since she has been back she has been a very different Cat not wanting to go out at all and seems very frightened.
I probably will never know what happened to her I can only presume she was locked in somewhere but I am now spoiling her something rotten and giving her lot's of cuddles.
Pan Am's Maine Central Heritage unit, ex-B&M GP9 #52, looks right at home leading local WA-1 down the former MEC Back Road Mainline (now part of the PAR Freight Mainline) at Oakland, ME. Two thirds of the railroad's operating GP9 fleet are on the job today as they sandwich two empties for AIM Recycling, just two miles west of here.
Green-backed Tit is a species of the Himalayas and mountains and foothills to the east, with a disjunct population in Taiwan (which is where this bird was seen). What a beautiful combination of colours. This individual was active along the Dasyueshan Road in the mountains east of Taichung City.
a softly back scratch... sure relaxation and maybe, something else.

I'm just back from a two week trip to the peninsula on the west coast of Scotland. Lots of walking, exploring, a little bit of wild swimming and plenty of time with my favourites; the Pine Marten.
The jumping shot is an image I've had in my mind's eye for some time. I tried it last year and had some luck, but knew I could do better. I'm really chuffed with this image plus quite a few others over a few evenings trying it!
...and sometimes all you have to do is to let them do their same lame ass shit just to see where you stand with them & what they rather do, and walk back to your normal life!
The footpath around the back of the new stand at Craven Cottage, home of Fulham FC, is open for the first time since I've last been this way. It avoids a detour around the other side of the ground while using the riverside footpath.
Mother Possum with her new baby, it's only been out of her pouch for 2 weeks. Last night I was fast enough to get this shot, this is the third year she has visited us. My Husband was the other side of the fence feeding her fruit.
She is very quiet and has always allowed us to stroke her and the little ones.
Her other photos are in my Animal set.
Nice to see this Northern Cardinal male in the yard this morning, on my first day back at home after some time in the desert.
Back in 2014 we had a pretty brutal winter here in Southeast Michigan. Temperatures were steady below zero with wind chills up to -30 below zero F. We had went out to Port Huron to capture some images of the thousands of Long Tailed ducks that were hanging out in the St. Clair River. While there, I seen this Canvas Back Duck with its beak iced up. I felt so bad for him but there was absolutely nothing I could do to help the poor thing.

Icterus chrysater
(Yellow-backed Oriole / Turpial Montañero)
The Yellow-backed Oriole is well-named, as it is one of the very few species of orioles with a yellow back. Indeed, this oriole shows only two colors, yellow and black: the wings are entirely black, the feathers lacking the white or yellow feather margins that are shown by most other species of oriole.
The Yellow-backed Oriole has an oddly discontinuous distribution: it occurs from southern Mexico south to northeastern Nicaragua, and again from Panama south to northern Colombia and Venezuela, but is absent from Costa Rica and from most of Nicaragua. This oriole has a very broad elevational range, ranging up to 2500 m in Central America and almost to 2700 m in Colombia.
