It is amazing to watch a Blue Heron earning his next meal with this long,sharp and very precise beak.He or she can easily snag a crab or a fish with quick ease and then, it is down the hatch.
Thank you all so very much for your visits and most kind comments.
Have a safe and fun day !

While at Reifel today, I was blessed with a rare sighting of this little fella. Seen in BC, Canada only every couple of years, it was a sight to behold. Made my day!

A bit of focus on locomotive builder Sharp Stewart and Company today - works no.2961 was a 3'6" gauge 2-4-0 built in Manchester in 1881 for the Staats Spoorwegen (Indonesia). Seen here 97 years later at Kanigoro (?) with a passenger train from Madiun to Ponorogo.
Sharp, Stewart and Company was established in 1843, initially based in Manchester, England before moving to Glasgow, Scotland in 1888. In 1903, having built over 5000 locomotives, the company amalgamated with Neilson, Reid and Company and Dübs and Company to form the North British Locomotive Company.

An interesting image for me - on my laptop this looks like the background is almost grey. On my 4k monitor it looks brown (which is what it is in reality). On my tablet, it shows about half way between the two.
Laptop screens don't seem to have much in the way of calibration options and it just shows that people may not be seeing what I think they are.
I looked out my kitchen window just as this hawk flew by and landed in the oak tree.

"Sharp Cactus Buds" by Patti Deters. Surrounding the buds at the top of this cactus stem are extremely pointed and very sharp thorns known as spines. These tiny prickers are actually modified leaves that provide a variety of help to these desert plants. One of the main functions is that they protect the cacti flesh from predators - the sharp thorns repel most (but not all) animals. Something you wouldn't at first think is that the little shards also provide shade for the cactus itself. The prickly spines reduce water evaporation and also help with propagation by getting "stuck" to animals and people who help disburse the seeds. If you like outdoor nature photography, please see more plants, macros, and other botanical images at patti-deters.pixels.com/featured/sharp-cactus-buds-patti-....

Wish this one was in our garden! I used to have a wool winter coat this colour with a black velvet collar! That was when I was young and "glamorous"- ;-)

Forgive me when I post too many photos of the grouse!
On April 9th 3 friends and I drove south of the city to a Sharp-tailed Grouse lek. I hadn't thought about the degree of difficulty that might challenge me in climbing over the stile with a knee replacement. I really struggled so I do not think I will be returning to see the grouse in future years.
Thanks for your visits, comments and faves! They are all appreciated!
