This mural of downtown Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada was painted on a building next to a commercial parking lot. There are many murals throughout the city, each representing the diversity found throughout Moncton.
Jones Lake in Moncton was stunning this evening. The best camera is the one you have with you, so my iPhone had to do!
Tordo Sargento / Red-winged Blackbird / Carouge à épaulettes (Agelaius phoeniceus)
El tordo sargento (Agelaius phoeniceus), también conocido como sargento, tordo alirrojo, tordo capitán o turpial alirrojo, es un ave de hábitos migratorios perteneciente a la familia de los #ictéridos, dentro del orden de los paseriformes. Habita en zonas húmedas y terrenos de cultivo de América del Norte y Central. Presenta un marcado dimorfismo sexualvinculado a una sensible diferencia en su tamaño y al color del plumaje, que se manifiesta a temprana edad. Las hembrasson principalmente marrones con un intenso veteado ventral y los machos, predominantemente negros con un par de manchas rojas bordeadas por una banda amarilla sobre las alas. Los insectos y las semillas constituyen la mayor parte de su dieta. Es considerado una plaga para la agricultura. Quizá sea el ave nativa más abundante de América del Norte

The red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) is a passerine bird of the family Icteridae found in most of North and much of Central America. It breeds from Alaska and Newfoundland south to Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, Mexico, and Guatemala, with isolated populations in western El Salvador, northwestern Honduras, and northwestern Costa Rica. It may winter as far north asPennsylvania and British Columbia, but northern populations are generally migratory, moving south to Mexico and the southern United States. Claims have been made that it is the most abundant and best studied living bird in North America.[ The red-winged blackbird is sexually dimorphic; the male is all black with a red shoulder and yellow wing bar, while the female is a nondescript dark brown. Seeds and insects make up the bulk of the red-winged blackbird's diet.

This shot was taken just down the road from where I live and it overlooks The Solent and Isle Of Wight. Its called Haslar Sea Wall and is part of Portsmouth Harbour sea defences.The sea wall starts at Fort Blockhouse at Portsmouth Harbour entrance and continues for about a mile overlooking Spithead anchorage to Fort Monkton at the western end. This fort has an interesting history from when it was built in 1779 to the present day.
Here is an extract about its current use Courtesy of Wikipedia.
Now referred to as No.1 Military Training Establishment by the British Army,[12] it is occupied by the Ministry of Defence[12] and houses the Secret Intelligence Service Training Section where SIS officers as well as officers from allied services and agents are trained.[13] During the Cold War this included Stay-behind agents from continental Europe.[14] In his book The Big Breach, former MI6 officer Richard Tomlinson states that Fort Monckton is now the SIS's field operations training centre,[15][16] where both basic and advanced field training is given to SIS personnel,[17] and liaison training with other services including the Special Air Service and Special Boat Service is undertaken.
So it looks as if James Bond was trained in Gosport.😄
It would make a good location set for one of his villains.

Podcast interview with John Meadows about my 1980s Toronto series--on "My Photography Podcast" (MPP).
HMCS Moncton is a Kingston-class coastal defence vessel that has served in the Canadian Forces since 1998. The Kingston class was designed to fill the minesweeper, coastal patrol and reserve training needs of the Canadian Forces. In order to perform these varied duties the Kingston-class vessels are designed to carry up to three 6.1-metre (20 ft) ISO containers with power hookups on the open deck aft in order to embark mission-specific payloads.

DSC_9704-002: It's been a while since I've been on Flickr. Thought I would check in, and post this local sunrise for fun. Hope you all are doing well.
After leading an extra 314 from Winnipeg into Toronto earlier on this same morning, BCOL 4646 & BCOL 4648 (mid train DP) are rolling east along the Kingston Sub at Whitby on their way East towards Gordon Yard in Moncton, NB with train M306 on the drawbar. The next day at Joffre Yard in Quebec City this train would end up lifting the CN3047 & 4706 for the remainder of the run towards the east coast.
Ok, not gonna bother with a description. lol My grandkids love this park in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Lots of trails, a water park of sorts, and a large play area. I always feel creepy at these kinds of places with a camera, so I wandered around the trails and found some real treasures. This was NOT one of them. lol It was a birthday celebration for the youngest granddaughter.
