This is the office building at Delheim Wine Estate. I don't know what the contraption on the wall is…I thought a corking machine, but I'm not sure.
Come and join us with your wall photos on a Wednesday.

Have a great day, everyone! 😊
(PS Edit: Thanks to Johann, Alan and Jorden for identifying the contraption…a drill press/radical bottle opener it is. :-))
An extended dry spell came to an end today. This young Gull was exploring a newly created kerbside puddle created by this morning's deluge.

One of the first times I was hiking the hills near home, my birding friend (and range), Dan, told me that, if I wanted to see wrens, all I had to do was sit by the original ranch house, sit on a step, and wait. "Watch for the white eye bar. Oh, and while you're at it, you'll find Spotted Towhees, California Quail, Western Bluebirds, and whole herd of other creatures."
I took his advice and, sure 'nuf, five years later, I saw this Bewick's Wren by the barn. I looked in my guide book just to be sure, and as with most guides, the description of the range and the maps were entirely different. Before I give the description, just let me say that they're dying out in eastern U.S., but are alive and well from British Columbia to southern California in the west. They have one of the sweetest songs, and often vie with the House Wren when courtship occurs simultaneously. Throw in the "song" of the Oak Titmouse while you're at it.
The Bewick's wren (Thryomanes bewickii) is a wren native to North America. At about 14 cm (5.5 in) long, it is grey-brown above, white below, with a long white eyebrow. While similar in appearance to the Carolina wren, it has a long tail that is tipped in white. The song is loud and melodious, much like the song of other wrens. It lives in thickets, brush piles and hedgerows, open woodlands and scrubby areas, often near streams. It eats insects and spiders, which it gleans from vegetation or finds on the ground. And that's all that's stated describing this little wren.
Like an open wound in the Earth, an unnatural gash it was. Remains and vile things weeping from the lesion. Tentacles sought out and gripped the cold grass. Something stood in the grave. The air held it's breath.
BNSF's Cheyenne Local, led by SD70MAC No. 9658, heads north through the wide open spaces near Norfolk, Colorado, with 38-cars in tow on May 5, 2021.
When the butterflies are starting to get more active (and shyer), it's always good to have some extra mm's with you.
In this case, the RX10M4 did the job with this beautiful Sooty Copper.

In bird in flight photography, we should focus on birds’ eyes and heads, and them being in good focus and sharp. The other parts of the bird need to be sharp too, but if the eyes and heads aren’t sharp, we should delete the picture mostly. Zoom in 100% in on the pictures and see if they are sharp in the eyes and head. In this image the bird is good and focused, but the wings are a little bit blurry which doesn’t matter to me, so I kept this image. Have a great day!
Of course, in pre-Covid time, this place used to be packed with customers almost every time I drove by.
Have a fabulous day, everyone...
Scott had a photo shoot scheduled out of town this morning so early in the day we loaded up the car and ventured out on our journey.
He drove there which gave me the rare opportunity to look out the window and play with my camera; generally I'm the driver so this was a nice break.
I wish the sky had been a little more interesting for this shot, but hey, it works and I like it either way.
Hope everyone has had a good day.
