Bright sunday afternoon at the Santa Monica Beach. / Derűs vasárnap délután Santa Monicai tengerpartján.
I had full intentions of spending the day just south of Parry Sound railfanning but while I was waiting just down the road a CN signal maintainer rolled by and said there were no train in the area except for 119. Reluctantly I made my way over and after a bit more waiting a storm came up. Luckily it didn't hit until a bit after 119 charged through.
Something I only noticed while editing is the moniker on the plow. I've only noticed this specific one on tankers.

Standing within a few feet of Skogafoss can be an exhilarating experience. One however, you are best advised to wear full waterproof gear for. This individual seemed to be making the most of it and good luck to him. I was able to positoin myself so that his silhouette was placed in the right positoin and allowed the waterfall to continue to dominate the image.

The Church of England parish church of Saint Edith is dedicated to the Wiltshire saint Edith of Wilton and stands on the brow of a slope facing south across the Nadder valley. The building is from the 14th and 15th centuries, with restoration in 1880–1893 by William Butterfield. The building is Grade II* listed. The tower has a ring of three bells, two of which date from the 15th century.Today the church is part of the Nadder Valley team ministry.
The churchyard contains, among others, the graves of 32 Australian soldiers from World War I. Soldiers were encamped locally before being transported to the war theatre in France. The majority died from infectious illness.

Azenhas do Mar - Sintra - Portugal
A masterpiece of popular architecture, this village extends in terraces from the top, like a crib.
The picturesque setting of the houses frames a small bay where an ocean pool was built.
It is part of the demarcated wine region of Colares, characterized by vineyards in sand floor.

Beautiful Face Rock, Bandon, Oregon. So thankful to be fully vaccinated and for a mini road trip during spring break. I brought my cooler and had very glamorous meals out of it. :D
This was the view from my balcony but I braved the wind to go stand on the beach and after being sandblasted for 30 minutes, hiked back up to the overlook.
Hoshiar is a #peshmerga brigadier general who lost both his legs, one in 1988 and the other in 1992, on explosive devices. By then, he devoted his life to clear mines wherever he could find them. They say he demined more than 1 million devices so far. Seven public buildings, such as schools and hospitals, are named after him.
This heron was hunting along the water's edge and suddenly turned 180 degrees, having no doubt heard something from behind, and froze facing the grassy edge. Suddenly he lunged, scored, and turned around with the Marsh Rice Rat held around the lower abdomen, obviously alive and fighting. If you zoom in on one of the images in this series, you can see the captured rodent baring its teeth and its body contorted. At first I thought this was a vole, but the tail is much too long, as zooming in this image show the tail with some flatness to it, as is found on the marsh rice rat, muskrats too, but they are much larger. They use this uniquely shaped tail as a rudder when swimming.
The heron took the struggling rodent to the water's edge and submerged it, pinning it to the bottom at which point the heron regripped its prey, as when it came out of the water, the heron's bill gripped the rodent by its head and neck. At that point, the marsh rice rat's legs hung limp and the fight, if there ever really was one, was over. The heron opened its bill and tilting its head back to get the head further back in its bil.. Another quick jerk of the head and the prey is near fully in its mouth, going down its gullet head first.. Finally another gulp or neck thrust and the tasty meal is but a brief lump in its neck. A few seconds later and even that was gone.
I've seen the herons eat snakes and frogs in addition to their standard fare, which is fish and crustaceans, including soft crabs when in season. No fish, it seems, is too large to eat, as I've seen this same heron dine on a five-pound blue fish. It was too much to swallow, so it took it into the seclusion of the brush and slowly tore it to pieces to eat it. They are known to even capture and swallow an adult muskrat. So this was a first, for me, to see one capture and eat a marsh rice rat. And I was fortunate enough to have my camera in hand when it happened.
