Roseate Spoonbills settling into a perch with Snowy Egrets in the wetlands at Seabourne Creek Nature Park, Rosenberg, Texas.
Eve details her first few classes of the year, and the process of getting adjusted to her new life. Herbology, Potions, & Flying oh my!
A couple of interesting observations about least terns from this encounter:
1. The "nest" is just a shallow scrape in the sand. The eggs are laid in the scrape and are subject to predation by various critters, and loss due to wind driven high tides depending on where the eggs are laid. Here at Anastasia State Park, the colony was located within a roped off area making it less likely that foot traffic would disturb or destroy the nests.
2. For whatever reason, the entire colony of adults would suddenly fly off. They would fly back momentarily and settle back onto their eggs. The trick was to catch a tern as it landed and then stay focused on it until it reached its nest. This time the strategy worked!
My sincere thanks to all who spend the time to view, like or comment on my photos. It is much appreciated!

This was my beautiful Daisy just one day after she came to live with me. Notice that even then she cuddled her tail when sleeping! After at least a month of "living rough" when abandoned, she settled in to her new life with me more quickly than I had dared to hope. Right from the start she was brave & adjusted to most changes very calmly. She was a wonderful pet to the very end, always gentle but full of fun.
Happy Caturday.
Happy Cozy Sunday! It's a sunny but *freezing* bitter-wind sort of a day. Stay in, and spoon with someone cuddly all day if you can!
I am somewhat overwhelmed by the attention my gauzy shot got yesterday. Thanks to everyone for this. It's a bit daunting, I must say. But I am finally on my way to see everyone's streams today. Which I am very much in need of.

I wish I was better at words so I could write an ode to this beautiful part of the world which is Yorkshire Dales, England. I am so lucky and grateful to have such wonderful beauty on my doorstep. This place has been a source of continous happiness and inspiration to me. I hope my love for it shines through this picture.

Searching for shots to upload in the current lockdown I came across this previously unprocessed capture of 150138 coming off the Carnforth line at Settle Junction. Taken on a glorious morning during a 1Z10 trip in 2018.

This old barn appears to be settling down for the night although it looks like it has been a few years since it was breathing the heady smells of usefulness.
Without doubt my favorite time of the day on the farm growing up was dusk when the last light of day produced a lingering glow as it seemed reluctant to leave.
Dusk meant chores were done for the day, the noise of tractors working in the field work was silenced for a few hours and the occasional sounds of fed cattle gently lowing into the approaching night darkness was strangely reassuring.
Many decades later we realize that a lot of the pleasant memories of our early farm days come from the familiar routines we had that gave our life shape and meaning. Routines of family working, playing and resting were simple signs that our lives were progressing normally and served as markers of our growth from childhood to determined young adults eager for the future.
