Okay, it's not actually within our backyard, but it's just beyond it. The yard behind our house borders a large park that is just being developed. The park was recently seeded, and the straw was put down as mulch. I took this shot while standing on our backyard deck. I think these Sandhill Cranes must have been eating the grass seed.
I know that there's not a lot going on in this image. But I rather like the repetitive poses of the birds, and I thought it was kind of cool that I could get this shot without leaving home, so I decided to go with it. The abundance of Sandhill Cranes in the area near our new home in Michigan has been one of the pleasant surprises of living here.
This is developed in DDG with the T2D tool using the sunset image I posted yesterday as a base. No further edits.
As you can see the structure of the image is almost identical. This is an impasto palette knife version with the emphasis on the light reflections and flaming colors. To me this is a lot more alike to what I saw than the camera image. The sky was ablaze!

"The line_up is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The“liners” are made out of paper (Din A3),
oil paint and graphite, the theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers."

Baranti is a developing tourist center located in the lap of Gorongi Hill in Purulia,India.It is located right in the lap of a hilly range with a huge water reservoir, known as a Baranti Lake. Sunset is particularly special here. The lake keeps changing its colour from time to time during sunset. It’s a real treat for the eyes to sit and watch the various shades of yellow and red reflected on the water.
These lovely roses were taken in our garden this summer 2024.
A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 7 meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.
The name rose comes from French, itself from Latin rosa, which was perhaps borrowed from Oscan, from Greek ρόδον rhódon (Aeolic βρόδον wródon), itself borrowed from Old Persian wrd- (wurdi), related to Avestan varəδa, Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr.
The leaves are borne alternately on the stem. In most species they are 5 to 15 centimetres (2.0 to 5.9 in) long, pinnate, with (3–) 5–9 (–13) leaflets and basal stipules; the leaflets usually have a serrated margin, and often a few small prickles on the underside of the stem. Most roses are deciduous but a few (particularly from South east Asia) are evergreen or nearly so.
The flowers of most species have five petals, with the exception of Rosa sericea, which usually has only four. Each petal is divided into two distinct lobes and is usually white or pink, though in a few species yellow or red. Beneath the petals are five sepals (or in the case of some Rosa sericea, four). These may be long enough to be visible when viewed from above and appear as green points alternating with the rounded petals. There are multiple superior ovaries that develop into achenes. Roses are insect-pollinated in nature.
The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip. Many of the domestic cultivars do not produce hips, as the flowers are so tightly petalled that they do not provide access for pollination. The hips of most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which contains 5–160 "seeds" (technically dry single-seeded fruits called achenes) embedded in a matrix of fine, but stiff, hairs. Rose hips of some species, especially the Dog Rose (Rosa canina) and Rugosa Rose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, among the richest sources of any plant. The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such as thrushes and waxwings, which then disperse the seeds in their droppings. Some birds, particularly finches, also eat the seeds.
Rose thorns are actually prickles - outgrowths of the epidermis. While the sharp objects along a rose stem are commonly called "thorns", they are technically prickles — outgrowths of the epidermis (the outer layer of tissue of the stem). (True thorns, as produced by e.g. Citrus or Pyracantha, are modified stems, which always originate at a node and which have nodes and internodes along the length of the thorn itself.) Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, which aid the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over it. Some species such as Rosa rugosa and Rosa pimpinellifolia have densely packed straight prickles, probably an adaptation to reduce browsing by animals, but also possibly an adaptation to trap wind-blown sand and so reduce erosion and protect their roots (both of these species grow naturally on coastal sand dunes). Despite the presence of prickles, roses are frequently browsed by deer. A few species of roses have only vestigial prickles that have no points.

My wife and I took a Sunday drive today and went to Stanton, Iowa, a small town with Swedish heritage in southwest Iowa. Our two hour drive took us to see the 35' tall "Watertower Coffeepot" in the center of town on a hill. It holds 50,000 gallons of water and is painted in the Swedish style with bright decorative flowers.
The "coffee connection" comes from a female Stanton native and actress (Virginia Christine) who gained national fame playing Mrs. Olson, the main spokeswoman in Folgers coffee commercials on television during the 1960s to the 1980s.

The other day a friend was commenting on the clouds that appear along the Sunshine Coast vs those in Alberta. Ostensibly, those that take shape over the ocean vs those that develop in the prairies. We both came to the conclusion that although the topic of clouds was the same, the resulting forms were often different yet unique to the landscape. (so to speak)
In this image there are two distinct clouds forming in the distance, both over the ocean and developing over a distant island. Pender Island to be exact. One, filling the sky at a higher level, while the other stretching for miles at a specific height catapillaring along the ocean.
After photographing Prairie clouds for the last 26 years, I have noted in my photos they are often quite wispy, or perhaps appearing like giant whipped potatoes in a thunder cloud, or just plain leaden, covering the sky. They too come in many forms, but for the most part, look distinctively different. And, isn't it fun to just watch them as they move inexorably across the sky creating their beauty for us to photograph.
Reddish Egret
The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is a medium-sized heron. It is a resident breeder in Central America, The Bahamas, the Caribbean, the Gulf Coast of the United States, and Mexico. There is post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range. In the past, this bird was a victim of the plume trade.
According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, there are only 1,500 to 2,000 nesting pairs of reddish egrets in the United States — and most of these are in Texas. They are classified as "Threatened" in Texas and receive special protection.
Egrets are herons which have white or buff plumage and develop fine plumes (usually milky white) during the breeding season. Egrets are not a biologically distinct group from the herons and have the same build.

🇫🇷 La place du Faubourg
Aménagée pour y développer des marchés, la place, longue et étroite, est bordée par deux rangées de maisons qui formaient un lotissement linéaire. Au sud, les maisons en pierre ou à pans de bois des XVème et XVIème siècles, alignées, se prolongent par des couverts sous lesquels étaient abritées les marchandises à vendre. Une saignée correspondant à une demie canne (1 m. environ) creusée dans un pilier rappelle la nécessité qu’avaient les agents consulaires d’étalonner les pièces de draps de laine, de lin ou de chanvre vendues par les marchands étrangers aux mesures de Najac.
🇬🇧 The Place du Faubourg
Designed as a market square, the long, narrow square is bordered by two rows of houses forming a linear development. To the south, the 15th- and 16th-century stone or timber-framed houses are lined up and extend into covered areas under which the goods for sale were sheltered. A groove equivalent to half a cane (about 1 m) dug into a pillar is a reminder of the need for the consular agents to calibrate the pieces of woollen, linen or hemp cloth sold by foreign merchants to the Najac measures.
🇩🇪 Der Place du Faubourg
Der lange und schmale Platz, der für die Durchführung von Märkten angelegt wurde, wird von zwei Häuserreihen gesäumt, die eine lineare Siedlung bildeten. Im Süden reihten sich die Stein- und Fachwerkhäuser aus dem 15. und 16. Jahrhundert aneinander und wurden durch Überdachungen verlängert, unter denen die zu verkaufenden Waren geschützt waren. Ein Einschnitt in einem Pfeiler, der einer halben Rute (ca. 1 m) entspricht, erinnert daran, dass die Konsularbeamten die von ausländischen Händlern verkauften Woll-, Leinen- und Hanftücher nach den Maßen von Najac eichen mussten.
🇪🇸 Plaza del Faubourg
Concebida como una plaza de mercado, esta plaza larga y estrecha está bordeada por dos hileras de casas que forman un conjunto lineal. Al sur, las casas de piedra o entramado de madera de los siglos XV y XVI se alinean y se prolongan en zonas cubiertas bajo las que se resguardaban las mercancías en venta. Una ranura equivalente a media caña (aproximadamente 1 m) excavada en un pilar recuerda la necesidad que tenían los agentes consulares de calibrar las piezas de tela de lana, lino o cáñamo que vendían los mercaderes extranjeros a las medidas nayac.
