One of which is slightly blemished, but still lovely.

I'm not sure if this is a mated pair or adult and juvenile, Red-shouldered Hawk. I'm going with mated pair but feel free to share any thoughts you may have.

I love the elegant old wooden barns of the midwest. They are fast disappearing.

Rissa tridactyla

Bempton Cliffs

The Black-legged kittiwake, to give it its proper name, (Rissa tridactyla),Breed on cliffs in the summer months and spend the rest of their time at sea on the Atlantic.

The population is declining in some areas, partly due to a shortage of sandeels as a consequence of overfishing and climate change.

I did go looking for Wood Ducks on this day, but of course couldn't pass on this fast-cruising pair of Mandarins. They were in and out of shade, which sort of accounts for my ridiculous EXIF settings. These exotics, likely descended from caged escapees, show up during our SoCal winters. As you can see, the female looks a lot like a female wood duck, and they were mixed in with the wood ducks I was hoping to find.

Reading & Northern SW8 801 swings onto the former Reading Company Catawissa Branch at East Mahanoy Jct, Pennsylvania with empty hoppers.

It took a little bit of waiting for the sunny railfan shot of the Missabe maroon pair once they were assigned to the E Lead Switch (actually 8 days of trying on the St. Louis River Road bridge), but we were able to get the DM&IR 215 and 403 working the north end of Proctor Yard here on September 27, 2021. Good thing we got the Missabe pair on day 8 as they only lasted on this job for 9 days. DMIR 215 and 403 are still together at Proctor but have spent the last few days inside the Diesel House.

Lots of CN painted EMDs continue working around Proctor as seen here around the yard, but two maroons look more at home even shuffling freight cars.

Macro Mondays ...... Theme "Speckled"

A pair of miniature dappled perfume pots.

Thank you ,for your views,faves and comments,very much appreciated.

Every morning during the Corvid 19 lockdown I am walking around the lake in my local park just as the sun is coming up. It has brought some great opportunities to capture sunrises and to spend time with the wildlife. This particular pair of swans are a new pairing. The male had a lifetime mate and she died earlier this year. This was a sad event but the cob flew off and returned about a week later with a new mate. It is lovely to watch them together. I do not think we will have cygnets this year, but maybe next year we can look forward to them again.

For this week's Macro Mondays challenge "Paris" I went with a pair of earrings of my wife's. To get the background effect I used 4 small bottles of perfume with one yellow light on the left and one blue light on the right.

If you fav this photo please leave a comment as to why you like it, thanks in advance.

For the Crazy Tuesday theme: 'A pair of…..'

Tiny fish shaped soy sauce containers (that you get when you buy some Sushi rolls) in a small dipping dish. For Macro Mondays this week the theme is 'Pair'. HMM

This Hoatzin pair were doing their bit to ensure the continuation of their kind, which may appear primitive to humans but which are successful in their environment. Hoatzin are fairly common through most of their quite large distributional range in South America. These birds were at Cocha Machuwasi, a small lake gained via a short trail off Manu Road in Peru.

Marzipan keep forever, I spend the day yesterday shooting birds and interesting items from our home,
