After a filling dinner Saturday evening, I went to the garden to walk off a few calories. Chicago Botanic Garden Aug 30, 2014 L1230964.dng

Back out to Columbia Valley this morning and no luck on Mountain Bluebirds but I did find some Evening Grosbeaks. The Grosbeaks were down on the side of the road feeding on either salt, sand or seed. I suspect since they were there for at least an hour it was spilled seed from one of the feed trucks suppling the farms in the area.

Since I've received a lot of positive feedback on the other long dresses, we figured to try and evening dinner look with and up-do and hint of shimmer 💋

A evening wave breaking along the cliffs at Godrevy, what looks like a cloudy sky turned into a nice sunset that evening.

Remnants of thunderstorms drift about as the sun settles in the west and lights up the tops of the clouds in the eastern sky above El. Franco Lee Park.

Georgia has returned home safely and is doing well even though she’s a bit tired from the experience. She spent a total of 5 days in the hospital and managed to beat the infection that was causing her problems. There were other issues, but they were all taken care of as well. A bit of rest and she’s doing splendidly. What to thank everyone for your kind thoughts and many prayers. They were very much appreciated. I’ll try to slot back in here and hope that we can get back to normal. Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead. Peace.

A late first upload today as well, since I've spent much time photographing all the interesting birds in my neighbourhood today too (and finding a brand new species for me and our municipality!) I will show that one tomorrow.

But here is one from the archive:

It was lovely to suddenly be surrounded by a big elephant family, in an open jeep in South Africa - listening to them and studying them for a long time.

My album of photos from Africa here.

Der sogenannte Kaiserbahnhof in Brühl-Kierberg gilt als eines der schönsten Empfangsgebäude Deutschlands. Es wurde 1877 am Ende der von der Brühler Innenstadt heraufführenden Kaiserstraße in einem kleinen Park errichtet. Seine besonders aufwändige Gestaltung verdankt es Kaiser Wilhelm I., dem der Bahnhof als Zwischenhalt für seine jährlichen Besuche der Herbstmanöver in der Eifel diente. Für den kaiserlichen Zug war extra ein Abstellgleis auf der nördlichen Streckenseite angelegt. Insofern war der historische Bahnhof auch im Sinne der Reichsbahndefinition ein echter Bahnhof. Vom Bahnhof fuhr der Kaiser mit der Kutsche über die Kaiserstraße zum Brühler Schloss, in dem er übernachtete. Der den Bahnhof umgebende Park ist mit zahlreichen Plastiken nach antiken Vorbildern geschmückt. Der Raub der Proserpina wurde mutmaßlich für eine der Pariser Weltausstellungen geschaffen.

I love this photo of my son and his buddies. Shot with a Nikon Pronea 6i—since it's difficult to do reprints now from the old APS cartridges, I scanned this one. I really did like my Pronea 6i and especially liked the 7x4 size prints, which gave more room for images width-wise without having a bunch of sky or ground!!
