A song sparrow with a tailwind
Wikipedia: The song sparrow (Melospiza melodia) is a medium-sized New World sparrow. Among the native sparrows in North America, it is easily one of the most abundant, variable, and adaptable species.
Though a habitat generalist, the song sparrow favors brushland and marshes, including salt marshes across most of Canada and the United States. They also thrive in human dominated areas such as in suburbs, agricultural fields, and along roadsides. Permanent residents of the southern half of their range, northern populations of the song sparrow migrate to the southern United States or Mexico during winter and intermingle with the native, non-migratory population. The song sparrow is a very rare vagrant to western Europe, with a few recorded in Great Britain and Norway.
Conservation status: Least Concern
I apologize to my friends here for the lack of presence in this period.
The real world commits me, leaving little to creativity. Fortunately, I have things "in stock" when I had a lot of it.
I wish everyone a good week : )
Thanks for your recent visits, favorites, comments and invitations. I go slow, but everything is very much appreciated, as always....

Out for a walk around Granville Island and out pops this little gem. Right place, right time and a tiny puff of a cloud appears above one of the many unique structures to be found on Granville Island, BC. This is actually among the many gallery's to be found and demonstrates an eccentric style onto its own. All the primary colors are in bloom in this one and serve to support the creative look to both the building and the surrounding area.
Of course I considered more tasteless, juvenile, and hilarious titles for this one.

The Signalman throwing switch for one of the Puffing Billy Steam locos at Belgrave, Vic. The Engine had just arrived after her return from Lakeside.
Puffing Billy Railway is in the Dandenong Ranges, 40 KMs (25 miles) East of Melbourne. After leaving Puffing Billy Belgrave Station, the line passes through the lush green Sherbrooke Forest with Stringy Barks and Tree Ferns lining the track. The route is quite a challenge for the locomotives with many sharp curves and steep climbs. It's also a treat for train photographers.
