I was driving along a country road when I came upon a line of sunflowers. Unfortunately, it was one of those times that I did not have my camera with me. Fortunately, I did have my iPad!
What a welcome surprise! This Red-Tailed Hawk has perched himself at the entrance to the water treatment plant in San Rafael. We now call him/her “The Greeter” because in the several months that we have visited, we have noticed him in the same spot. He is not hard to find because he always has a group of eager photographers standing around waiting for the perfect shot.
The second part, or, left panel of the diptych relating the ancient Greek myth of Persephone and her descent into Hades for half of the year, which results, according to the story, in the occurrence of Fall and Winter on the surface of the world.
Here Persephone, unseen in the image but directly connected when the two images are seen side by side, is greeted as she descends into Hades.
I had been wanting, at the time these images were taken to take the "pano-sabotage" technique into the realm of faces. These mannequins gave me the raw material to do that.

On one of the hottest days we had this spring, I saw this Great Blue Heron going through some actions attributed to "thermo-regulation".
This series shows how they do this, termed "sunning" by some research.
It was said that they will fan their wings wide open and drop their "shoulders' cupping the wings to accomplish this ... to maintain their body temp and even allow for cooling or other possible benefits. They and many larger birds also will pant, where they open their beak and flutter the throat and neck muscles as shown in the 3rd pic to maximize air flow to help drop their internal temperature.

... a shot at dusk in the harbour ... the sun is already hidden and a crescent moon greets me with a smile ...

A lone paddle boarder greets the sun as it rises at St Cyrus. A quick snap taken from the coastal path on my way to the beach. (It was a beautiful sunrise, but I may have `juiced up' the colour a bit in post-processing, just for my own viewing pleasure!)
While we were visiting the St. Ignatius Mission, we were befriended by this dog. He tried to get in our car as we were leaving. Don’t blame him because it was snowing as you can tell if you look closely at the photo.
He is out working frequently these days
You can see he is quite exhausted, obviously not easy to find the ones that has behaved nicely this year
No cable car to reach this one. This hike was a real lung buster, my left lung is still up there I think. 🤔
Firescald Creek enters Savage Gulf across Greeter Falls and a few hundred yards downstream empties into Big Creek, one of three gorges that link to form a wide, steep valley that came to be known as Savage Gulf. The “Savage” part of the name is not necessarily meant to be descriptive but rather gets that moniker in honor of Samuel Savage, an early settler in the area. The “Gulf” part of the name is not necessarily meant to be confusing but rather is just a local term for “gorge”. Dedicated in 1974, the Savage Gulf State Natural Area is a 15,600 acre scenic wilderness with 55 miles of trails but no roads into the gulch. It also contains 500 acres of some of the finest virgin hardwood forest in the eastern United States, and is listed on the U.S. Registry of National Natural Landmarks.
Greeter Falls has two stages. This 15 foot drop is the upper section of the falls. A short distance downstream is the larger Lower Greeter Falls, a 50 foot drop, which can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/tim_lumley/43625147245/

Sheyenne River Valley - Barnes County, North Dakota.
2/22
The river winds throughout the valley, hugging a few abandoned farmsteads. The North Dakota Fisheries and Wildlife has a few fish hatcheries down here, one being at Baldhill Dam where the river turns into Lake Ashtabula. Many waterfowl protected wetlands as well.
Personally, I love there are many historic or culturally significant sites in this area. Fascinating to research and explore.
We spent another fabulous day snowshoe hiking on the Bruce Trail. The powder was fresh and deep so the workout was wonderful. The sky was blue and the scenery spectacular. The smell of the cedar trees was divine as we brushed pass heavy laden branches on the trail. But the highlight of the hike was when we reached a spot where 4-5 chickadees came rushing toward us to greet us. We literally stopped in our tracks thinking they were going to crash into us.! I love when we are able to connect so effortlessly with nature. I will never tire of seeing these delicate little birds.
These two beautiful dogs were very eager to make my acquaintance as I walked by their garden in Penzance, Cornwall, UK. They made me feel like a real VIP with their exuberant greeting! Yes, I did stop & give them a pat. It would be so nice if all inhabitants of this world were so friendly :)

When I arrived at BC Wetlands last Sunday, this guy was waiting on the sign to greet everyone. I think he was really waiting on an opportunity of people dropping some food getting out of their cars, but it was still nice to see him hanging at the entrance. He was also a sign (no pun intended :)) to come, because it was definitely a "seagull day" at the wetlands....as upcoming photos in the days ahead will show.
Happy Wednesday everyone!
Explored on January 11, 2012.
Cremonville, Normandie, France. There is often one horse who is bolder, braver and/or friendlier than the others. This one is beautiful!

Upon learning that a trio of GP9s had been paired for one of the Hamilton sets, there was only one reasonable and logical thing to do. Wake up at 3am and drive to Hamilton for sunrise of course. When I arrived in Hammer town I was greeted by a group of friends who had driven overnight from even further away than I, who stayed the night at a rest stop. In these days, the 0700 worked the industrial sector of Hamilton called "the hole", and the 0800 just switched the yard on the weekend. When the 0700 job crew walked over to the less desirable GP38 duo (crazy to think that's undesirable) there was a unanimous "groan" from the crowd. The trio was not a guarantee, and it was a gamble that we all chose that looked like it wasn't going to pay off. We chased the duo into the hole to Bunge where they started switching food grade tank cars. While watching them switch we all came to the conclusion that to salvage the day, we would shoot mainline trains with the searchlights on the Dundas Sub. We were about to leave when we heard "0800 job CN 4116 looking to enter the hole". We all looked at each other with smiles and "hell yeahs". A few minutes later the 0800 crew passed the 0700 crew next to Bunge, and the morning chase of a somewhat rare 0800 hole morning commenced. Photographing two CN jobs in the hole at the same time is also a fairly rare occurrence. Moral of the story, stick it out. The line "so you're telling me there's a chance" from Dumb and Dumber is sometimes truthful. Later that afternoon we still ended up on the Dundas and got a nice SD75I leader on 271 at Paris. www.flickr.com/photos/130272127@N07/53344865097/in/photol...

Beautiful light conditions on a drizzly morning late last year when we were out hiking with some friends. This heavily leaning tree reaches out to the trails, seemingly trying to greet the passing people.
At Trione-Annadel State Park.
