As the light of the setting sun turned the grass around the heathland pool golden, the toads continued to make their amorous calls - which I'm certain would have continued well into the night. Spawning only just under-way, they had much to occupy their time ... ;-)
While driving along Highway 1 near Pescadero, CA, we stopped to stroll along the beach. I spotted these 2 guys fishing and wanted to capture the setting. It was cloudy and windy. (Edited in Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz)
The Reddish Egret often hunts by forming a canopy with its wings over the water to reduce glare and to attract fish to the shade. That's exactly what this one was doing in a tidal pool on a beach near Fort Myers.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
Sun setting behind Groat Knowe, a rounded hillock to the north west of my house.
It had been raining for most of the day, then, about 9pm, there was a suggestion of yellow in the sky. The sun slowly dropped down beneath the higher clouds as the lower cloud (here, outlined in a peachy-white colour) filled the Girvan Valley, below.
I sat for about an hour, in alternating light drizzle and very strong dying sunlight.
There is a 'burning bush' right in the middle of the sun; I think this is a goat willow sapling, nothing more 😄
(I think this picture was taken about 9:45pm)

Late sunset light over the coast of Maine. took this to ISO 400 at f/8 to get the 30 second exposure, enough to smooth out the reflection in the breezy evening but not too much keeping some of the nice cloud definition that was in the pretty sky that evening.
Pemaquid Point, Maine
The Death Star setting over Mt Wellington. My boys are getting excited about the new Star Wars movie and I think it's rubbing off on me ...

Last week we had to have an old maple tree in our yard cut down. The birds and the squirrels seemed to miss the tree at first. I wanted to save the 3' stump for a 'table' to put peanuts on it for the squirrels, and possibly potted plants in the summertime. This is the one of the more curious squirrels I've been calling "Snoopy" who was the first to investigate the new setup..
