Ray is doing a "downward dog" stretch . This is bound to infuriate the dog next door. A result for cats !
Around a curve in the forest about 8 km or so up we came upon three roughed grouse. Very dark, but if I can get any shot of these birds, I feel lucky!
ESA’s Earth Explorer Aeolus satellite lifted off on a Vega rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, on 22 August at 21:20 GMT (23:20 CEST). Using revolutionary laser technology, Aeolus will measure winds around the globe and play a key role in our quest to better understand the workings of our atmosphere. Importantly, this novel mission will also improve weather forecasting.

If this looks familiar to some, it is because it's a recrop of a photo already in my photostream. This variation was suggested in feedback from a Flickr friend Matt (a.k.a. Facing The World) who suggested I try cropping some off the top and the left side.
Cropping is an art form in and of itself and one is always learning. Non-photographers often criticize portraits that have part of the hat or the top of the head cropped, even though doing so can frequently result in a more intimate connection to the all-important eyes.
With the original crop of this photo I was lazy and left too much foliage to the left which did not contribute much so getting rid of it makes sense (thanks Matt).
In my original version of the photo, frankly, I got hung up on including all of her hair, thinking it was essential to the portrait.
Flickr is a place for displaying but also for learning. One must remain open to feedback from friends so here is the suggested version. I have included the original (below) to make the comparison easier.
As is so often the case, tastes vary and there is not always a right or wrong. I leave it to you to decide which you like best and either way I think you will agree that she's a beauty.
Looking more than a little rough and with the front truck on the ground, Northern Rail Car Corp. No. 1 has reached the end of its career as the Didion Milling switcher at Cambria, WI and been stuffed out of the way at the end of the line past Del Monte.
The engine was painted for NRCC at Milwaukee in 1986.
We watched this sea otter for quite some time. He found several clams that he had a real tough time with. He would try to open some for a very long time - this is just a short clip of this persistent otter. He was well fed by the way!
“She always had that about her, that look of otherness, of eyes that see things much too far, and of thoughts that wander off the edge of the world.”

Osprey, Blue YD, ringed as a chick at Balgavies Loch in Angus in 2012, seen with a partially eaten flatfish on the Eden Estuary near Guardbridge in Fife.
Never having been a train driver, railway instructions are a complete mystery to me. This one, at Imperial Wharf station in London, rather caught my attention - but perhaps that's to do with (very) basic schoolboy humour...

Warhawk flight left Lossiemouth today to return to Spangdahlem. Still low enough for some decent pics.
This waterfall located in a canyon in the Zion National Park wilderness is normally a trickle most of the year but with the recent moisture and spring run off it became spectacular.

This is a broad-tail hummingbird at Cherry Creek State Park, at the turnout on the main road below the office. It's taking off and flashing it's ruby colored gorget. I love the details when viewed full-screen. I also love how the green prairie grass behind the hummer gives a nice, smooth, green bokeh.
After a botched attempt at heading out to Hazelwood Lake to catch some sunset shot, Scotty and I decided that it didn't look like a good night for lakeside sunset shooting.
Man, were we wrong.
This wasn't as nice as the one I missed the night before but decent enough to pull off a few shots.
