Also known as the "Double Rainbow Connection". I serve as a volunteer naturalist for the Channel Islands National Park and Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary.One of the activities for which I volunteer are whale watch trips conducted by several companies which conduct whale watch trips in the Santa Barbara Channel. Yesterday (February 24) I was the Naturalist aboard the "Ranger 85" operated by the Channel Islands Sports Fishing Company from Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard, California. I've taken plenty of photographs of whale spouts, but never before in rainbow colors. These are the spouts (water plumes) of two northbound migrating gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus) we were following during my recent watch trip.

A jay can apparently fit 4-5 acorns in its gullet plus one in the beak, and it'll regurgitate them and bury them in non-wooded areas for later retrieval. Oaks, on the other hand, have evolved to grow roots very quickly and not rely on the nutrient stash from the acorn for more than they have to, so when jays come back for acorn retrieval in the spring, the now-rooted sapling often survives the seed removal process. If you ever see a lone oak in the middle of a field, a jay is probably to blame :)

This adult female Peregrine is trying to retrieve a dead pigeon from the canal; seconds ago one of the three juveniles, who had the pigeon, lost her grip and dropped the pigeon in water while flying over the canal. The juvenile didn't know what to do other than circling over when the mother came along and tried three times to pick the pigeon up from the water. She managed to lift up the pigeon once but lost it soon afterwards. Either she didn't have a good grip due to choppy water or the pigeon became too heavy from absorbing water in its feathers. I am sure that the mother Peregrine gave a stern lecture to the youngster afterwards. Note that the day before she did retrieve a live pigeon from water that she stunned by dive bombing it. Most often it is the female that could kill and carry a large prey such as a pigeon. I haven't seen a male doing it yet. Burlington, Ontario.

The original Swanage Pier was built between 1859 and 1861 for use primarily by the local stone quarrying industry, and included a tramway which ran the length of the pier and some way along the seafront. The old tracks can be seen to this day, inset into the seafront walkways.
When local businessman George Burt introduced regular steamer services between Swanage and nearby towns Poole and Bournemouth in 1874, a need became apparent for a second pier to be built primarily for use by passenger steamers. Construction on the new pier began in 1895, and by 1896 was first used by a steamer. The pier was officially opened for traffic in 1897. While regular steamer services ran on the new pier, up until 1966, the older original pier declined along with the stone industry it served some years earlier. Today all that remains of the old pier are some of the timber piles.
After steamer services discontinued in 1966 the remaining pleasure pier also began to fall into disrepair. After a failed attempt to restore the pier by a development firm in 1986, Swanage Pier Trust took over ownership of the pier in 1993.
The Trust took on the task of raising over £1,000,000 needed to carry out major restoration work on the piers piles and timbers and ironwork fittings.

K is for Kindness
A selfless act of grace,
Spread it all around you
As you rove about in space.
It doesn't take much effort
It's a simple thing to do,
And you'll find when you give kindness
That it comes right back to you!
The aftermath of the posts of the past two days was a valiant struggle on the part of the striped mullet, possibly assisted by a submerged cormorant that surfaced as the Osprey gained control, and finally a successful retrieval of the fish from Horsepen Bayou.

Green Herons usually prefer a sniper attack on their unsuspecting prey from an overhanging branch or stump but occasionally, when the situation calls for it, they go all in. The payoff for this greenie was two gulf menhaden and cheers of approval from a lurking paparazzo. On Armand Bayou.
The set was made, and the retrieval of the net, which has gathered into a purse of salmon. This set had a few fish, but missed the school of fish.

Hmmm, think I'll go for the "past life regression & soul retrieval." No telling what she might find. lol

Trakai Island Castle (Lithuanian: Trakų salos pilis) is an island castle located in Trakai, Lithuania on an island in Lake Galvė. The castle is sometimes referred to as "Little Marienburg". The construction of the stone castle was begun in the 14th century by Kęstutis, and around 1409 major works were completed by his son Vytautas the Great, who died in this castle in 1430. Trakai was one of the main centres of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the castle held great strategic importance.Trakai Island Castle was built in several phases. During the first phase, in the second half of the 14th century, the castle was constructed on the largest of three lake islands by the order of Grand Duke Kęstutis. The construction of Trakai Island Castle was related to the expansion and strengthening of the Trakai Peninsula Castle. Kęstutis moved his main residence and his treasury to the Island Castle.
The castle suffered major devastation during an attack by the Teutonic Knights in 1377. After the assassination of Kęstutis, a power struggle between Jogaila and Vytautas the Great for the title of Grand Duke of Lithuania began. The castle was besieged by both sides. Soon after the reconciliation between Jogaila and Vytautas, the second phase of construction started and continued until 1409. This phase is regarded as the major development in the history of the castle. Apparently, during the truce with the Teutonic Order, the construction works were supervised by the Order's stonemason Radike, four years before the Battle of Grunwald.
...a different approach!

You can see how the California drought has effected the water line at Mono lake. Last time I was here much of this "beach" was under water.

Off for a bit this week having my flying saucer repaired. Brought the ship to Coyote, proprietor of Coyote's Flying Saucer Retrievals and Repairs Service located in scenic Jacumba, California a small desert town along I-8.
Now you would think this qualifies for a title of Things That Make No Sense but somehow it was all pretty cool and I spent a bit of time talking to Coyote. He even gave me a couple of souvenir rocks with his artwork, he felt bad because his printer ran out of ink so he was out of stickers or he would have given me some. If you happen to see the Desert View Tower (it's on In-Ko-Pah Road off I-8) that's where you'll find Coyote, stop in and say hi.
Seemed only appropriate that with the application of some alien radiation Coyote got turned into a bit of Happy slider Sunday art!
Happy Slider Sunday and now you know where to go for all your flying saucer repairs!!
And yes, here it comes, about to drop onto the "Snuffle Mat" for her retrieval. Took a few photos along these lines for Happy Caturday theme 2 Sept 2023, "Happy." Perhaps the emotion is a more multisyllabic one, like "expectant" or "anticipatory" or "delighted", but she was very glad to see that treat about to drop! And look at that face! If the photo had magically (because of the one handed phone wielding) been in good focus, it'd be a money shot. As it is, I just like it.
As for how long the emotion lasts, see comment...
"Snuffle Mat" procured from the Jackson Galaxy store, the intent being to allow cats to hunt for food or treats by going through the fibers. To work the best I'd have to hide them and let her hunt for them without knowing something was just dropped. Some day. She is happy to pull things out of the mat and it is of course washable.

Only the cutest bird ever... theTitmouse, small cheery-voiced nonmigratory woodland bird. Along with the chickadees, titmice make up the family Paridae (order Passeriformes), with approximately 55 species throughout the world, mostly in the Northern Hemisphere.
Bold and athletic, the titmice are among the best-loved visitors to bird feeders. Although they range in size from 11.5 to 20 cm (4.5 to 8 inches), most fall in the middle of this range (17 cm [6.5 inches]). Despite their small size, they are extremely athletic and hardy. Many live in the far north and are able to endure bitterly cold winters, in part thanks to their strategy of storing food in bark crevices or holes and remembering the locations for later retrieval. Special leg muscles enable them to hang upside down to feed, allowing them to feast on items such as insect eggs that might be missed by less-agile birds.
