Portland Head Lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine

Eilean Glas lighthouse on isle of Scalpay, Outer Hebrides, first lit in 1789, nowadays fully automatic as all Scottish lighthouses.

A single guiding light burns brightly in the Steveston Harbour.

 

*** To give you a better perspective of this nautical scene, this image indirectly connects with my last post.. If you notice the wharf section to the right....it is the continuation of the same wharf from the previous photo on its left.

  

The scenic, Steveston Heritage Fishing Villiage is a charming fishing village that is situated in Richmond BC on the Mighty Fraser River

 

Definitely one of British Columbia's best kept secrets.

For my Mother on Mother's Day 2023.

 

I wish all mothers a happy day today. They often do not realise how much they are a guiding light in our lives, shaping our hopes and dreams from the earliest of days. Today is particularly poignant for my Mum. This is her first Mother's Day in 67 years that she has not shared with my late father. Hard to believe it has been six months already since he died. You are loved Mum.

When the light of the day passes, the Cape May Lighthouse guides the weary fisherman back home. What is *your* guiding light when the world gets dark?

My first wild Ibex, I think I was as moved as for my first otter or my first Lynx.

Love the sun shining here on the bridge !!

Reddish Egret

 

The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is a medium-sized heron. It is a resident breeder in Central America, The Bahamas, the Caribbean, the Gulf Coast of the United States, and Mexico. There is post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range. In the past, this bird was a victim of the plume trade.

 

According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, there are only 1,500 to 2,000 nesting pairs of reddish egrets in the United States — and most of these are in Texas. They are classified as "Threatened" in Texas and receive special protection.

 

Egrets are herons which have white or buff plumage and develop fine plumes (usually milky white) during the breeding season. Egrets are not a biologically distinct group from the herons and have the same build.

In North America, Barn Swallows are spring time arrivals from their South American winter. Although their flight acrobatics are extraordinary, their colours and markings are equally noteworthy. From Cornell: "The Barn Swallow is the most abundant and widely distributed swallow species in the world. It breeds throughout the Northern Hemisphere and winters in much of the Southern Hemisphere." www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Barn_Swallow/overview

This guy/gal sat perched 20 ft high basking in the last 10 minutes or so of daylight left. Seemed curious what this photog was doing slowly scrambling for "just the right angle" :).

Green Herons stand motionless at the water’s edge as they hunt for fish and amphibians. They typically stand on vegetation or solid ground, and they don’t wade as often as larger herons. In flight these compact herons can look ungainly, often partially uncrooking their necks to give a front-heavy appearance.
