Chesil Beach, an 18 mile long tombolo. This is the thin strip of sand and shingle that joins Portland with Abbotsbury.
Dragonflies like this female Great blue skimmer are the most successful hunter catching 95 percent of the prey they chased.
I wish all these little guys were as cooperative as this Warbling Vireo. It would sit just long enough to get a shot. Bucks County PA.
As you know, with mirrorless cameras, getting flight shots is tough with a busy background. In the Z9 firmware update 4.0, they added a feature called Auto Capture. I tried it out yesterday. All you do is set up a tripod, enter some parameters for the shot you want, activate the program and walk away. The camera looks for any combination of settings and takes shots on its own. This one was set up for motion in a defined area of the frame. Lets say, it worked great.
That's what Barred Owl calls sound like. Very distinctive! This one appeared in the same place and time as last year. I'm glad, I only had to go a half mile from home. It was 7:33a.m. dark and gloomy, plus it was sitting deep in the brush. Bucks County PA.
Taken from Badlands National Park in South Dakota last June...
"Why are some of the badlands mounds yellow?
As the water level dropped and the sea floor became land, the Pierre Shale (the bottommost rock layer of the Badlands) crumbled into soil and created the Yellow Mounds Formation, so called because of its mustard-like color."
Hope everyone's having a great day/night, thanks for visiting!

Sadly every shoot doesn’t give me a mirror view. The lake makes me work for it.
Here is view I have posted before with a mirror reflection, but this afternoon brought heavy winds. The white is not the regular salt but instead seafoam.
A five-part panorama shot at 1,000 ISO to try and stabilize from the heavy winds.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the photo.
Dawn, six minutes to sunrise...
After almost 3 weeks here, I finally saw some dramatic clouds with colors which lasted less than 5 minutes.
The sunrise itself was a non-event, thick low clouds blocked the sun entirely.
I wish you a nice day, dear Flickr friends 🌹; thank you for your visit and/or comments, always appreciated💕😊!!!
Pittman Orchard McDade Trail Access
Never-ending paths that are well maintained and flat, provide a view of the Delaware River on one side and sheer rocky cliffs (where I was) on the other.
Absolutely beautiful and peaceful any time of the day! 😊

Coronado Heights is a hill northwest of Lindsborg, Kansas. It is alleged to be near the place where Francisco Vásquez de Coronado gave up his search for the seven cities of gold and turned around to return to Mexico.
Coronado Heights is one of a chain of seven sandstone bluffs in the Dakota Formation and rises approximately 300 feet.[1]
In 1915 a professor at Bethany College in Lindsborg found chain mail from Spanish armor at an Indian village excavation site a few miles southwest of the hill,[2] and another Bethany College professor promoted the name of Coronado Heights for the hill. In 1920 the first road was built up the hill, known as Swensson Drive, with a footpath known as Olsson Trail. In 1936, a stone shelter resembling a castle was built on top of the hill as a project of the Works Progress Administration. In 1988 a sculpture by John Whitfield was placed half-way up the hill with the inscription "Coronado Heights 'A Place to Share'".[1]
