Now on the former Rock Island's Choctaw Route, AT&L is continuing west at about 15 mph. It started raining while we waited at this spot, and we would get one more shot in the rain before heading further west.
One of several "sites of meaning" sculptures in the limestone dales of the Derbyshire Peak District. This sculpture is generally referred to as the "sheep dip sculpture" as it is built into the wall of an old sheep wash along the River Bradford at the head of Bradford Dale.
ORIGINAL TEXT (Parts missing)
"In late May or June / The farmers brought their sheep / To wash their fleece / In this deep pool / Burbling, bumbling, bleating / The waters bleat like the flock of sheep it dipped / Dip your ghosts into this hard, cold merky place / Hear their bleat in the water's rush to escape / The foam, the wool pulsates / Damp leaves nothing behind but the trees' readiness".
Found this sandwich tern while walking the beaches in Jacksonville last autumn. To me, terns are such elegant and beautiful birds, especially in flight. This particular one is an adult in their winter plumage. I love this one since it has that yellow-tipped bill, black in color otherwise. it's found in many parts of the world ... of course, along the coastline. It was hanging out with other sandwich terns, as well as other species of terns, gulls, and shorebirds. It made me smile to see them ... I sure miss the shorebirds of Florida at times like this.
Happy Monday!

American Dipper after food before nightfall. Taken earlier in the winter and similar to another one I uploaded. Still cleaning out winter shots. Have a good evening or day.
... for the end of the dance. I'm glad I wasn't invited to this dance!
I brought them back out and released them where I had found them.

Still a nice evening, a calm steady breeze blew in clouds by the time I had arrived at this location.
I arrived in Royston on Sunday and my first walk was to check around my daughters house for fields that had been left fallow and allowed poppies to grow unfortunately they were all in good use this year, so no photos here. However on my morning walk I followed the regular route I did with the dogs towards the heath, Toby loved the heath. Once I had made it to higher ground I was happy to see that the field behind the heath was full of poppies, as it was en-route a few scouting photos were snatched. The particular field in the photo was one I’d taken many a photo of as I love the contours, I just love the dip in the middle.
Catching a sucker hole as they work south, MQT's Turn crew is notched out as they roll through the dip at Ramona with a tonnage train in tow.
Love watching juvenile Elegant Terns as they figure out their moves. This one was dipping and diving in the water honing some skills. Been waiting all summer for these Elegants to show up along the coast. They were late this year. But I was very happy to finally see them, even on a foggy day.
I feel so priviledged when I catch the starlings doing their dipping and swooping, they are just stunning, don't you think so?
This takes strength, patience and lots of practice; an indigenous fisher using his dip net to catch a salmon swimming up the Bulkley river. Note his success!
