This egret had no sooner settled down to a nice fishing spot on the creek than a heron came swooping in to take it away from him.

Puffins on Skomer Island
If you don't like Puffins then apologies as I'll be posting quite a few shots of the flying clowns. If you love them you will hopefully be in for a treat😁.
I hate to think how many thousands of images I came back with. Even mostly only holding the shutter down for half a second at a time gives you a hell of a lot of photos when you have 5hrs on Skomer and your camera can shoot at 40fps!
Doing some culling as I go but it's gonna be a long process😂

This Blue Jay was a very aggressive competitor for our peanuts, pushing away the Titmouses and Chickadees.
CP GPS ballast train through Newtonville bound for NY but grabbed a string of racks from Agincourt. Very happy they did as it really sells the mainline look of these old work-horses!

“Bass Brewery was founded in 1777 by William Bass in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, England. The main brand was Bass Pale Ale, once the highest-selling beer in the UK. By 1877, Bass had become the largest brewery in the world, with an annual output of one million barrels. Its pale ale was exported throughout the British Empire, and the company's red triangle became the UK's first registered trade mark.
Bass took control of a number of other large breweries in the early 20th century. In the 1960s it merged with Charrington United Breweries to become the largest UK brewing company, Bass Charrington. The brewing operations of the company were bought by Interbrew (now Anheuser-Busch InBev) in 2000, while the retail side (hotels and pubs) was renamed Six Continents plc. Because at the time Interbrew controlled a large portion of the UK beer market, the Competition Commission instructed Interbrew to sell the Bass brewery along with certain brands to Coors (now Molson Coors), while retaining the rights to the Bass brand. In 2010, it was widely reported that AB-InBev was attempting to sell the rights to the Bass brand in the UK for around £10 million to £15 million.
In the UK, draught Bass (4.4% ABV) has been brewed under contract in Burton by Marston's (formerly a relatively minor competitor) for AB-InBev since 2005, while bottled products are brewed at AB-InBev's own brewery in Samlesbury, Lancashire, for export. Bass is also brewed locally in the United States and Belgium. Bass Ale is a top ten premium canned ale in the UK, with 16,080 hectolitres sold in 2010.”

This weekend I had the pleasure of watching my friends granddaughter Ava, ride and compete. She came in first place in the jumping competition.
Bravo Eva!
I thank you, in advance, for any likes and comments. I appreciate them all. Peace and light!
The main competitor of the Mercer RaceAbout for the testosterone saturated young men in the Mid teens, (the same group who would buy Cobras in the 60s) Stutz was more successful financially, outlasting Mercer by several years. This Bearcat, at Pebble Beach, was in the 'mandatory' yellow and black. Although not having the precarious seats of the earlier Bearcats, though not having a door, there was at least a bit of lateral barrier to protect you when you hit bumps at speed. No seat belts so you had to hold on with both hands. The cars were fast and hairy to drive fast, and the roads abysmally bad. But what a rush!!! The head lights had that wonderful scalloping often seen in light house lenses. Beautiful work of art.
Look at Large to appreciate the patterns within patterns.

I love to play around with this bulb for some reason. It kind of fascinates me how the light shines through it in a dimmed way and how you can use it for photographs of all kinds. I think some others will follow someday.

Ah, look what the cat (CP 244) dragged in this time! CN 2682 leads CP 7014 past Lambton Yard with one of the longest 244s I've seen, coming in at just over 10,000ft on a train that is usually either light power or less than 20 cars coming into Toronto. 244 is famous for dragging in whatever power seems to be lying around the Chicago area, ranging from the average UP GEVO all the way to NS heritage units on a few occasions. This time, a CN dash 9 seems to have wanted a change of scenery and is exploring the rails of its competing company.
