Always fun to shoot the neighbors' docks on either side of ours. I couldn't stay out long, however, as it has been terribly cold!

I didn't see the result of the Great Blue Heron's hunt for fish, but by the look of its stance here it can't have been far from pressing the trigger. This photograph was taken on the Oregon coast just north of Tillamook closeby a small settlement called Barview.
At a first glance the Great Blue and Grey Herons are very similar, however the most obvious difference between Grey Herons and Great Blue Herons is their size and shape. Great Blue Herons are taller, heavier, and have longer, s-shaped necks. Another key difference is the rufous thighs and wrists of the great blue heron, which are whitish on grey herons. Traces off this brownish red shade can just about be made out in this example.
Hermit Trush waiting for its turn. I have spent more than 1200 hours in the coldest days of winter from mid-January to end of February trying to capture this beauty catching a fish. Well I have not been lucky even though I have some tail shot behind a snow mount catching a fish but I was very unlucky. Since I am working in the morning, I would go after work and the wait time was about 2 hours if it was showing up at all. What made it very hard was the fact that the American Robin was also into that protein diet too but would chase away all birds coming down to the stream. I did get the Robin fishing in all positions but not a chance with the Hermit,
Unfortunately, someone noticed me several times being at that location and one day I arrived and that person was there. The same day, this person posted the exact location on some facebook pages. I knew my chance to get the Hermit Trush fishing was over with the number of people around all the time. Needless to say I was very disappointed. It did not take long for pictures to be posted on popular groups. Ah well...... It is a spot I check every winter for bird drinking or even bathing but nowaday, especially with Covid, there are so many new people with a camera, I am at the stage that I walk away because most of the time, people talk loud, move a lot, etc.... And once a location is given, I don't go back much and lose my interest. Ah well!

This Peregrine Falcon, approximately 5 weeks old, left the nest to explore the ledges and rocks supporting the nest (behind the falcon). It shouldn't be too long before this one and its 3 siblings depart.

Situada en pleno centro de Oporto, la Iglesia do Carmo, aunque no es de las más antiguas, sorprende por su arquitectura y su gran mosaico de azulejos.
La Iglesia do Carmo es una de las iglesias más bonitas e importantes de Oporto. Se encuentra muy cerca de la Torre de los Clérigos y está adosada a la Iglesia de los Carmelitas. Pertenece a la 3ª Orden de Nuestra Señora del Monte Carmelo.
Fue construida entre 1756 y 1762 por el arquitecto José de Figueiredo Seixas.
Al igual que la contigua Iglesia de los Carmelitas, la fachada principal es de granito, pero con una rica y nutrida decoración común del estilo rococó. Está compuesta de dos pisos y un frontón. Flanqueando la entrada nos encontramos con las estatuas de San ElÃas y San Eliseo. En la parte superior del frontón se alzan majestuosas las figuras de los evangelistas.
La gran fachada lateral de la Iglesia do Carmo está totalmente forrada con un gran mural de azulejos elaborado en 1912, en el que se representa la Imposición del Escapulario en el Monte Carmelo, dibujado en azul y blanco al igual que tÃpicos mosaicos que se pueden ver en muchos otros edificios históricos de Oporto.
El interior de la iglesia no es muy grande, pero expone hermosos retablos dorados de estilo rococó del siglo XVIII, obra de Francisco Pereira Campanha. Merecen una mención especial la bóveda, el dorado y majestuoso altar mayor y las pinturas.

Still playing at Fort Campbell, and we were thinking how much it looked like a set for Danny MacAskill (google him).
So Gee starts doing manuals on the gun emplacement roof. Several times. 15 years old all over again 😎
Great Spotted Woodpecker annoyed by the camera shutter.
We have four, maybe five Great Spotted Woodpeckers all vying to get on the fat feeder logs (I have three). Each log has several fat filled holes but they don't do sharing.
I may be showing my background by using a square dance term for this image, but these two sure look like they are dancing to me! HMBT!
