This rather fine display of plumes is why many herons and egrets were hunted to near extinction in the late 1800's/early 1900's to serve the fashion industry. In 1900 these plumes were worth more per ounce than gold and plume hunters killed 5 million birds a year in Florida decimating it's shore bird population.
Even after the law was changed to protect these birds, apparently hunters still murdered two Audubon wardens who were protecting birds in the Everglades.
Taken near Fort Myers, Florida.

Short Eared Owl - Asio flammeus
Over much of its range, short-eared owls occurs with the similar-looking long-eared owl. At rest, the ear-tufts of long-eared owl serve to easily distinguish the two (although long-eared owls can sometimes hold its ear-tufts flat). The iris-colour differs: yellow in short-eared, and orange in long-eared, and the black surrounding the eyes is vertical on long-eared, and horizontal on short-eared. Overall the short-eared tends to be a paler, sandier bird than the long-eared.
The short-eared owl occurs on all continents except Antarctica and Australia; thus it has one of the most widespread distributions of any bird. A. flammeus breeds in Europe, Asia, North and South America, the Caribbean, Hawaii and the Galápagos Islands. It is partially migratory, moving south in winter from the northern parts of its range. The short-eared owl is known to relocate to areas of higher rodent populations. It will also wander nomadically in search of better food supplies during years when vole populations are low.
Hunting occurs mostly at night, but this owl is known to be diurnal and crepuscular as well. Its daylight hunting seems to coincide with the high-activity periods of voles, its preferred prey. It tends to fly only feet above the ground in open fields and grasslands until swooping down upon its prey feet-first. Several owls may hunt over the same open area. Its food consists mainly of rodents, especially voles, but it will eat other small mammals such as mice, ground squirrels, shrews, rats, bats, muskrats and moles. It will also occasionally predate smaller birds, especially when near sea-coasts and adjacent wetlands at which time they attack shorebirds, terns and small gulls and seabirds with semi-regularity. Avian prey is more infrequently preyed on inland and centers on passerines such as larks, icterids, starlings, tyrant flycatchers and pipits.

Empire Sandy was one of 1,464 Empire ships built or acquired for war service by the British government. Built in England in 1943 as a deep sea tugboat, she was tasked with Royal Navy work and salvaging merchant ships damaged in the Battle of the Atlantic and other naval engagements during the Second World War. She served in the North Atlantic Ocean from Iceland to Sierra Leone, the Mediterranean Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal during the Second World War. (Wikipedia)
Jack-up barge Haven Seajack 1 assembled and waiting for a weather window to go to Fair Isle according to Marine Traffic, I am guessing this will be part of the civil engineering works to determine the best location to build the Fair Isle's first Ro/Ro ferry terminal. This has been directly funded by the UK government by way of their "Levelling Up Fund" The project has been awarded approx. £27,000,000. Some people have commented about the politics of the UK government funding projects in Scotland rather than giving the money to the Scottish government. *This post is not political* It is merely to show the barge and what the reason for it is in Orkney. Fair Isle is the winner, no matter who pays for the work. *Please do not post any political comments - just be happy that the people of Fair Isle are finally going to get served by a Ro/Ro ferry instead of Lo/Lo [lift on/off] for more info see

A pair of rebuilt former BN GP30s lead the Brainerd Local down the street in Brainerd, MN 13 years ago today on April 18, 2007.
The local is here heading south to the mainline after serving the Wausau Paper mill. BNSF served this stretch of street running 3 days a week back in 2007. This former Potlatch paper mill in Brainerd went through several owners in the 2000s and finally closed for good in 2013. BNSF no longer runs down FIrst Street here in Brainerd, as the mill was the only customer on this little branch.
This pair of 30s, which the BN classified as a GP39E and GP39M respectively, made several trips on the Brainerd Local that spring. Since I lived along the Brainerd Sub. in McGregor in 2007, I chased this BNSF 2748 and 2811 pair several times that spring.
That white Chevy Corsica on the left looks exactly like the railfan car I drove around the Twin Cities in the late 90s. Funny seeing it here when I dug out this shot as I haven't seen a Corsica for years.

"The Basilica of SS. Ulrich and Afra [...] is a Catholic parish in Augsburg. [...] The building is a great example of Gothic architecture in Germany [...]. Its high bell tower with an "onion" dome, which dominates the city to the south, served as a prototype for the construction of numerous baroque towers of Bavaria." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilica_of_SS._Ulrich_and_Afra,_Au...
This onion tower was built in 1594. The construction of the church had already begun in 1467 in late gothic style, but was repeatedly interrupted due to religious disputes. It was not until 1607 that the church was finally consecrated. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Ulrich_und_Afra_(Augsburg)

This grebe had a successful fishing venture. I watched for over a minute as it worked this fish down its throat. On Commonwealth Lake.
After a very slow morning at Burnham Prairie, I was about to pack it up and go home when a disturbance in the water caught my curiosity.
A northern water snake had caught a very large catfish by the head and was trying its hardest to subdue its victim. The snake finally went under the water with its meal and was never seen again.

The Continental Mark II is an ultra-luxury coupé that was sold by the Continental Division of Ford for the 1956 and 1957 model years. The only product line ever marketed by Continental during its existence, the Mark II served as the worldwide flagship vehicle of Ford Motor Company. The vehicle derived its name from European manufacturing practice, with "Mark II" denoting a second generation (succeeding the 1939–1948 Lincoln Continental).
As the most expensive American-produced automobile of the time, the Mark II was marketed against the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Produced solely as a two-door hardtop coupe, the Mark II used standard Lincoln mechanical components, including its "Y-block" V8 and automatic transmission. The rest of the vehicle was largely hand-assembled, leading Ford to lose thousands of dollars for each example produced.
Following the 1957 model year, Ford discontinued its flagship Continental division, with the division phased into Lincoln from 1958. For 1969, Ford revived the chronology of the Mark series with the debut of the (second) Continental Mark III coupe, leading to five successive generations; the model line currently ends with the 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII coupe. In modified form, Lincoln still uses the four-point star emblem introduced by the Mark II; each version of the Mark series (and the 1982-1987 Lincoln Continental) was styled with a "Continental" spare-tire trunklid.
Intended as a successor to the Lincoln Continental, effectively making its predecessor a Mark I, the Continental Mark II made its world debut at the Paris Motor Show in October 1955.The Mark II debuted in the United States at Ford Motor Company headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. With a $9,966 base price (equivalent to $95,100 today), the Mark II was the most expensive domestic-produced automobile sold in the United States at the time. The only extra cost option offered for the Mark II was a $595 ($5,700 today) air conditioner. Despite its high price, Ford Motor Company estimated it lost nearly $1,000 ($9500 today) for every unit produced
To streamline production, powertrain components were adapted from the Lincoln model line and checked through the division's quality-control program during production. The 368 cubic-inch Lincoln Y-block V8 powered the Mark II, paired with the 3-speed Turbo-Drive automatic transmission. For 1956, the engines produced 285 hp, increased to 300 hp for 1957
Total productions for the two years produced was 3005 units including about one half dozen preproduction and prototypes.
Stow Park Road as it heads towards the village of Stow in West Lindsey, Lincolnshire
Stow dates back to Roman times and in the Anglo-Saxon period was known as Sidnaceaster ("ceaster" meant fortification or camp). It is most notable for the large parish church Stow Minster, it is one of the oldest churches in Britain and originally served as the cathedral for the diocese of Lindsey.
There is evidence of Roman activity within the village, including the discovery of ancient coins, ruins and foundations from this period.
Around 1640 a certain George Clifford, the rector's son, moved from Stow to Amsterdam. His grandson George Clifford III became the assistant of Carl von Linné the Swedish botanist.
Typical Swedish starter, "SOS" - Smör - Ost - Sill (butter - cheese - herring), toghether with beer and snaps.
The marbachsee was originally built between 1978 and 1982 by the Mümling Water Association, which operates the reservoir, for flood control purposes, but has officially also served as a recreational area since 1986.
The primary reason for building the Marbach Reservoir was flood protection for the towns and villages downstream. Because the Marbach stream has a relatively large catchment area, the Mümling's discharge capacity could easily be exceeded after periods of rain or snowmelt. Since the dam's completion, the Marbach's flow into the Mümling can be controlled.
A small hydroelectric power plant with a capacity of 80 kW was attached to the Marbach Reservoir. At full capacity, the Marbach Reservoir is the largest body of still water in the Odenwald region.
Another reason for constructing the Marbach Reservoir was its use for recreation and leisure. Activities possible there include swimming, boating, windsurfing, sailing, fishing, and hiking.
The Marbach Reservoir is divided into three sections from west to east:
"Bird sanctuary" with a nature reserve island; officially not a bird or nature reserve
Bathing area with a beach, sunbathing lawn, and bathing islands
Surfing and sailing area for boats with a sail area of up to 3.5 m².
Der Marbach-Stausee wurde von 1978 bis 1982 vom Wasserverband Mümling, welcher der Betreiber der Stauanlage ist, ursprünglich zum Hochwasserschutz erbaut, dient aber offiziell seit 1986 auch der Erholung.
Hauptanlass zum Bau des Marbach-Stausees war der Hochwasserschutz der talabwärts liegenden Orte. Da der Marbach ein relativ großes Einzugsgebiet aufweist, konnte nach Regen- oder Schmelzperioden leicht die Abflusskapazität der Mümling übertroffen werden. Seit der Fertigstellung der Talsperre lässt sich der Zufluss des Marbachs in die Mümling kontrollieren.
Der Marbach-Talsperre wurde ein kleines Wasserkraftwerk mit 80 kW Leistung angegliedert. Der Marbach-Stausee bei Vollstau das flächenmäßig größte Stillgewässer des Odenwaldes.
Ein weiterer Grund zur Errichtung des Marbach-Stausees war die Nutzung zu Erholungs- und Freizeitzwecken. Zu dort möglichen Aktivitäten gehören: Baden, Bootfahren, Windsurfen, Segeln, Angeln und Wandern.
Die Fläche des Marbach-Stausees ist von West nach Ost in drei Abschnitte unterteilt: „Vogelschutzgebiet“ mit Naturschutzinsel; offiziell kein Vogel- oder Naturschutzgebiet
"Badebereich" mit Badestrand, Liegewiese und Badeinseln und "Surf- und Segelbereich" für Boote bis 3,5 m² Segelfläche.

----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS ALONE!
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus died that death for YOU and I. The good news is there no more punishment for sin left, we were and are all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Cap Rouge, Quebec City, Canada
First permanent establishments
In 1635, the first seigneurie was granted on the territory of Cape-Rouge, but revoked the following year by the Company of One Hundred Associates. However, by 1638 Paul Le Jeune, a missionary Jesuit, had noted in The Jesuit Relations the presence of some families in the valley.[1] Between 1647 and 1652, the seigneuries of Maur, on the west, and Gaudarville, in the east, were established on the territory. From that moment, based on taxable citizens, the settlement on the lands of Cap-Rouge are established. The village formed is served by the parishes of Ancienne-Lorette in (1678) to the north; of Saint-Augustin in (1691) on the west; and of Sainte-Foy (1698) in the east.
Geography
The beach of Plage Jacques Cartier and the cliffs of Cap-Rouge.
The name of Cap-Rouge, meaning "red cape", comes from its cliffs facing the Saint-Lawrence river and made of schist rock bearing a reddish tint. The other main topographic feature of Cap-Rouge is the Rivière du Cap Rouge valley where are concentrated some historic buildings as well the archeological remains of a pottery workshop active from 1860 to 1892. It is believed that until the end of its operations the workshop mainly used imported clay rather than the local one, which has a rather red hue.
The Cap-Rouge area is located to the south of the Canadian Shield and Laurentian Mountains, at the confluence of the geological regions of the Saint Lawrence Lowlands and of the northern Appalachians. It mostly sits at the western foot of the Quebec promontory, in the way of the Logan's Line - an inactive fracture in the Earth's crust first documented by Sir William Edmond Logan.
Returning from fishing, a manu o ku serves up a breakfast of colorful, translucent larval fish to its nestling. The manu o Kū, bird of the war god Kū, catches fish and squid, often alternating heads and tails after multiple sequential captures. Manu o Kū is also known throughout the tropics as the white tern (Gygis alba). They are arboreal nesting seabirds, though no nest is actually constructed. These terns lay a single egg in a hollow or forked branch of a tree to incubate and raise a chick. Strong sharp claws and reduced webbing on their feet facilitate clutching the bare branch.
