Proof of a wet winter is evident at Cliff as a westbound UP general merchandise freight traces the contours of the surrounding mountain side while descending into California’s Central Valley.

Looking northeast from Otter Cliffs, Acadia National Park. Beehive on the right, Gorham Mountain on the left, and distant Champlain Mountain in between. Looked for some leading lines among the joints and fractures in the rocks but could not find anything appropriate ... so I guess these are misleading lines.

Earth, stream and tree encircled by sea
Waves sweep the sand from my island.
My sunsets fade.
Field and glade wait only for rain
Grain after grain love erodes my
High weathered walls which fend off the tide
Cradle the wind
to my island.
Gaunt granite climbs where gulls wheel and glide
Mournfully glide o'er my island.
My dawn bride's veil, damp and pale
Dissolves in the sun.
Love's web is spun - cats prowl, mice run
Wreathe snatch-hand briars where owls know my eyes
Violet skies
Touch my island
Touch me.

When I was visiting Hook Peninsula, I could not get over these cattle who were grazing, walking and lying around the cliff edges and from this perspective, it looked like they were only inches away. But when I went up to where they were, the cliffs were layered and didn’t really have a hard edge so they were not as careless as I feared.
RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
Northern Gannets have excellent vision. They detect foraging gannets at great distances, enabling them to move quickly to reach prey. Their sharp eyes also allow them to detect prey underwater amid the reflected and refracted light where water and air meet. Their eyes have special structural adaptations for plunge-diving, and they are able to see well underwater immediately after striking the water. (Cornell Lab).
Last Gannet photo for a while…. Or is this borderline Gannet Art?

(363/365) After another short bout of illness, I ventured out to Babbacombe Downs, and to have a trip on the cliff railway, something that's on my doorstep but that I've never visited until today - 22nd March 2026
I love the San Juan Mountains when the oaks, willows, aspen and cottonwoods go through their colors. If you zoom in on this shot, you will seen a green aspen clone surrounded by yellow clones.
An oldie from four years ago.
