AN INTERESTING LOOKING WATERFALL WHICH IS QUITE TALL BUT NARROW. THE WATERFALL IS FORMED OVER AN OLD GEOLOGICAL FAULT MAKING A LOVELY CASCADE.
Was raking the leaves this morning and Bailey Puggins was having a ball jumping and digging in the piles. Makes me smile to see our little old lady acting like a puppy again.
I would like to thank all of you that have taken the time to view and comment on my photos, it is very much appreciated.
Have a great weekend Flickr friends. Tina & the Puglets xo
Day 2 - Sandhill Crane Festival, Monte Vista NWR, Monte Vista, CO - Admittedly, this image is missing the foward kick by the jumping crane which defines the "Jump Rake". The stationary crane is demonstrating the Wing-spread-forward-tilt (other half of the Jump-rake dance).

08375 propels a rake of steel wagons over the swing bridge and into the Boston Docks complex. The wagons arrived on 6E01 from Wolverhampton, worked by a DB Cargo 66 as far as the exchange sidings just off the mainline at Boston where the 08 takes over. Not many places this kind of work happens nowadays! 12/02/2024

Just a few minutes before sunset there was this beautiful scene in rraking light.

Favorite groundhog gathering fallen leaves for bedding material. Tonight's temperatures will be in the 20s F (-single digits C) for the first time this fall.

2018 Road Trip to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT via Dempster Highway and the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway or ITH (Tuk Highway).
Giant and Tiger Swallowtails have started returning to the backyard. The males always seem to show up first and they flit about furiously looking for a lady. This Giant beauty decided to take a break and fuel up so if a lady does drop in he will be ready to swoop her off her wings. Unless this is a lady that snuck in... I have a difficult time telling the giant boys from the girls unless the wings are open.
Daily butterflies at this time:
Monarchs 5 - 12
Gulf Fritillary 1 -5
Zebra longwing 1 -5
Goldrim 1 - 5
Sulfur 3 -15
Giant - 1
Tiger - 1
Skippers / Other 4 - 12 observed
Spring maintenance also begins... Wow, there are a lot of oak leaves to rake and set out at the curb for the yard waste guys. I used to use oak leaves as a natural mulch but mosquitos love that so I don't do it anymore. The yard waste guy probably don't appreciate me in the spring but I sure appreciate them.
Of course I have a lot more to maintain than just fallen leaves. It's time to cut everything that needs a trim. I keep saying I am going to hire someone to assist me but I never follow through with that. I'm afraid they will not be as careful as I am when it comes to inspecting items prior to cutting them. I don't want a chrysalis to get accidently tossed out. And I am accustomed to watching my step in the yard so I don't step on a caterpillar that is on a journey, but others might not watch their step. Apparently I'm a worrywart when it comes to the critters in my yard.
Company will soon be here and I want everything to be beautiful :) If I were a Genie I could blink my eyes and all would be perfect. Then again, I would not get to spend the time in the yard so that might not be a good thing :) I love my yard time. Perhaps I should recruit my company to carefully assist.
May your day be beautiful and your wishes come true. Happy snapping.
