Taking another train of empties back to the mines, a pair of Monongahela Railway Super 7-23B’s cross the trestle at Buzz, Pennsylvania.
sure it's an image that I conjured up in my mind, perhaps it's a little E. A. Poe'ish. A foreboding and looming water tower with a turkey buzzard circling about looking for something dead to consume. I stand there quiet and motionless, hoping that it can sense that I am a living being and not a up righted cadaver ripe for picking. As time went on, more of these graceful (but god ugly) birds soared high and low, circling this tower looking for prey. I felt as if I were the featured entrée on their dinner menu. Bored with such slow service, they gathered their feathers and flew away, passing up, (I don't mind saying) one very fine meal. Their loss. As this one last feathered guest circled the table, I snapped my trigger finger. Check please, oh... and one of those mints too!

Following `Banadrama' (www.flickr.com/photos/pogspix/28949881111/), our garden has been literally buzzing with wasps, and they were taking every opportunity to get into the kitchen to buzz in the fruit bowl!
In an attempt to encourage them to stay outside, we've placed a bird feeder with raisins on a wall further away from the house, and have been `supplementing' that with drops of honey on the wall.
I'm not sure whether the plan has worked, or whether I've just attracted more wasps than we would have seen otherwise; we're seeing up to 30 feeding at once on the wall.
Yesterday morning, I noticed the wall being lit by the morning sun, with bokeh from the feeder behind it, so I dashed out with the honey, and placed a blob so I could catch the wasps in some pretty light.
Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday, hope you all have a good day and you find some sunshine today. ;0)

Buzzards are large birds with broad rounded wings and a short tail. They are typically brown, often with a light necklace beneath the breast and white undersides to the wings. However, the species’ appearance is highly variable with some birds having far more white feathers than others. A buzzard’s beak is sharp and hooked and it has large feet with sharp talons. It has a wingspan of around 120cm and weighs up to 1kg. (Woodland Trust).
There were two Buzzards circling at the time I took this shot, neither coming quite close enough in what was poor light. Normally this photo would get filed never to be seen again. However, this photo caught my eye as this buzzard is back-lit by the sun which was trying it’s best to show through the clouds. This in turn highlighted the feathers, especially the tail feathers, and they really stand out quite nicely I think!
Buzz-art.
