The sky was full of gorgeous as we drove to the gourd farm.

This was an attempt to show the other side of the wing, which had a really unique look and colour to it.

One lonely male Mottled Duck has been visiting our lake, quacking as if looking for a mate. Last evening, he was joined by this pair, and then flew off with them. Visit blog.rosyfinch.com

Myrmeleotettix maculatus, female, Ramparts Field, Icklingham, Suffolk, 21 September 09

The herons were still active in the pool left by the receding water on the lake in our local wetlands. A small (2 1/2 ft) alligator showed up, and the Great Egret seemed to consider making a meal of it,but the alligator turned around toward it and the egret moved away.
