Golden Russet Bosc, from, South Africa,
The Beurré Bosc or Bosc is a cultivar of the European pear (Pyrus communis), originally from France or Belgium. Also known as the Kaiser, it is grown in Europe, Australia, British Columbia and Ontario, Canada, and the U.S. states of California, Washington, and Oregon.
The Beurré Bosc was cultivated first in Belgium or France. The name Bosc is given after a French horticulturist named Louis Bosc, and "Beurré" means "buttery," referring to the fruit's soft, juicy texture.
Egyptian Geese (Alopochen aegyptiaca) mated pair; shoreline of Zambezi River in my favorfite golden light; Zambia; Africa; Ancient Egyptians considered these geese sacred. With that color plumage I understand why.
A lovely pair, big and round
In the wildness, now are found
Pushed together or spreading wide
Their beauty revealed, they no longer hide
Exposed to all eyes are found
A lovely pair, so big and round
A pair of House Finch have been regular visitors to our yard this winter. I finally caught the male and female together. I keep watching for a Purple Finch to show up.
And now a pair no longer.
Illinois Midland RS1325s #30 and #31 bring a healthy-sized Powerton Roadswitcher south near Manito, IL. This one-time chase was the result of a lucky snippet of radio chatter between dispatcher and "something" 30 while I was enroute to Peoria. A quick check of Google and former plans were "circular filed" in favor of catching this move.
Glad I did it; sorry I'll never have another chance. #30 now works on the Atlantic and Western, another G&W shortline located in North Carolina.
It was overcast when I shot this through, you guessed it, my kitchen window. This was the best my camera and I could do to capture the pair bonding behavior of these cardinals.

Instantly recognizable cockatoo, the Galah is familiar throughout most of the continent. The individual in focus is a female, while the male is perched behind her on this farm gate.
Dandelions. Very common weed that adorns urban areas, gardens, fields and just about anywhere. Whatever you think of it, its various stages of transition are magical from a photographic perspective.
Dandelions may be considered a nuisance in parts of the garden, especially in weed-free lawns but have many herbal uses and are a good early source of nectar and pollen for insects so worth tolerating where possible.
Taraxacum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as Dandelions.

Intrigued to see this pair of Eider Duck (Somateria mollissima) swimming along by the pier at Southend-On-Sea today! I've only ever seen them near the Farne Islands before! Anyway, whatever they were doing along the Essex coast it was treat to see them!
A pair of jeeps get this hot traffic moving again at East Burke on the Aurora Sub. Burke is the 1st siding east of Savanna. The train just met a westbound stacker and will now continue on the roughly 130 miles to Chicago and its destination.

A pair of Nankeen Kestrels (Falco cenchroides), Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The female and male bird are in the foreground and background, respectively. This shot is a composite, as both birds were on different focal planes; however, the image is still representative of what I saw, with both birds being perched for ~10 minutes.
