This Great Blue Heron was coming in for a landing, and had to add a bit of extra drag to reduce speed.
In the last windstorms, they have left their mark in the Pasiego valleys, knocking down trees and quimas, falling on the river, dragging it along its course.
I've been experimenting. It's a lot of fun to make a non-conforming avatar. Or...sort of a Drag Queen?

I posted a cormorant landing a few days ago, and noted that its tail dragged when landing. I didn't recognize that this may be characteristic of water bird landings for stabilization. Now I know! (Unless it was just coincidence :) ) On the Willamette River.
The submerged plant (Water Crowfoot) was rooted to the river bed, but the leaves were being dragged downstream with the current of the fast flowing water.
Belted Kingfisher ~ (Megaceryle alcyon)
A bird I wish I could photograph more often due to its skittishness, this Belted Kingfisher did a flyby at Circle B. A pretty big crop, but my expectations plummet when it comes to this species.
Thanks for visiting!
This couch was in my childhood home as far back as I can remember and I have a very storied history with it. As it is currently in the process of being thrown out, I naturally dragged it onto the lawn to take pictures it with in celebration, in commemoration; what a couch.
As a teenager, this couch was in what was called "the sewing" room -- a room that housed sewing machines, spools of thread, and fabric, among some other disparate items.
Because I was so into psychology and neuroscience and biology and physics and psychoanalysis, as well as the arts & music culture of the 90s that my parents had engaged with, and because the couch was purchased in the 90s,
I ultimately ended up spending a lot of time laying on it at ages 15-17 contemplating the vast immaterial and material energy field of the 90s (and all prior) that had led up to my birth and eventual existence as a teenage girl in the early 2010s and, deconstructed every facet of reality its most microscopic constituents,
just being like, what....in...the...literal......universe...is...ha pp e nn in gng g g ????? (Affectionate, and disaffectionate).
I also liked to pretend I was the subject of 19th/early 20th psychoanalysis on this couch -- that armrest really cradled my lizard brain.
There's so much more I could say about this couch but I think that's enough of my weird for one day.

What a Drag - Peregrine Falcon dragging its gull kill to a better location before feeding. Amazing how they take on prey so much larger than themselves!

As drags go this was one of the more unusual ones, so with Rob, Kev and a lady named Kate we all witnessed 37510 Orion with 156470, 156497 and 37800 Cassiopeia passing Marston Jabbett running as 7H10 the 08:10 Ely Papworth Sidings to Wolverton Centre Siding.

This is a big piece of driftwood that is down by our dock! Honestly- it's huge/tree size so I can't drag it out into the yard . . . :(
To increase the capacity of his ship, Odge acquired a TIE cockpit from the salvage yard. This would not only add interior space to the vessel, but also some rear-facing protection in questionable regions.
With some help from TC-33 and a borrowed cu-pas, he managed to get the part back to the build, and continue his project.
GLLX 1416 gets a drink while helping to load some rubber hoppers in Hartford. Once the cars were loaded and the tank was topped off, we dragged everything east to clear up for Progress Rail who was delivering us some rail we purchased from CSX. Busy times on the West Michigan!

I've visited this scene so often, it keeps dragging me back to the Lake District at least once every year as I"m obsessed with getting the perfect conditions, but will need to visit again!
I arrived at 4.30am expecting piece and tranquility, but picked the worst morning of the year for that. When I began walking through Hassness Wood I shuddered in horror at the scene in front of my eyes. All I could see were loads of mobile homes, camper vans, 4x4s, cars and tents erected in the field alongside the shoreline and in the field (next to Hassness Wood). For anyone from outside the UK, wild camping in England is illegal, but one rule of law amongst wild campers is to arrive at dusk and depart at dawn. Anyway I walked on to my location determined to not let it spoil the experience thinking it was after all 4.45am, so everyone will be sound asleep.
At 4.55am the tranquility was turned completely upside down when a helicopter appeared and decided to fly up and down Buttermere for the next hour. This awoke everyone from their tents and mobile homes, who came out to see what was going on. The whole of Buttermere was more akin to an FBI crime scene - at 5am on a Monday morning!
The helicopter must have been filming as it had a massive camera on the front but it didn't disappear till well over an hour later. Over the other side of the lake people were further compounding the loud noise by riding quad bikes up and down the lake shore path. Inside my head I was seething as it's such an effort to reach this location as it's about 350 miles from my home and I get crowds of people, a helicopter and quad bikes at 5am!!!
Part of the reasoning for visiting Buttermere is also for peace and tranquility. I hung around for 2 hours in hope for the lake to become mirror like and couldn't wait to get out of the place after taking this photograph.
I later discovered all the tents and motor homes parked by the lake (behind where this shot was taken) is a once per year festival called the "Buttermere Bash" where people from any walks of life pay a fee so they can camp for 5 days and park up lakeside to have a festival (like a mini Glastonbury).
For anyone visiting Buttermere for photography, the best time of year is probably autumn as the light is less harsh and you can't beat the autumnal colours. Just remember the sun doesn't appear over the high surrounding fells till at least one hour after sunrise time.

A Bald Eagle catches and drags it's prey across the river surface. They are opportunists first and foremost but when they hunt they are a sight to behold.
One of the drawbacks of Febrovery is, that I can't upload the pictures as I take them. I am reluctant to show pictures with full snow, because it's quite warm and we even have a slight drizzle (we need more rain, actually)
Here's the group of three adventurers, with Jane and the new guard on their way to... dunno. The tavern, most likely.
