Initially it was the brick wall that grabbed my attention, basking in the midday sun, but when I saw the perfect compliment to the sharp edges of the brickwork walking towards me I had to move quick.
Originally I had imagined this as a square crop but after trying various ratios I plumped for this one, using the awkward shadow and parking meter as 'bookends' to the frame.
While enjoying a beverage on the deck this hawk flew into the shade of the pine tree. Surprisingly it stayed while I went inside for the camera and able to get two shots away. Not good news for our backyard birds.
Another fruitful day of mostly NCT spotting was to be had, with a return to Mansfield Road and a bit of a brown line theme developing too, as I ventured up to the hospital. Of course, other stuff was around too, including the first phot on the 'proper' camera, which was Sharpes Van Hool T9 coach 7 JXO turning out of Woodborough Rd and up Mansfield Rd.

I noticed this bird of prey being harassed by crows as it attempted to cross the Columbia River. It had its eyes set on the House Finches in a tree near me, but the attention from the crows foiled the surprise attack.
This bird, shown strutting here, put on quite an entertaining show for me showing lots of "attitude" with that tail.
I was cleaning up the backlog on my computer and found this shot with the hawk's nictitating membrane partially closed.
The "Sharps Island Lighthouse" originally stood on an island of over 4,000 acres. The first light, built in 1838, was moveable. In 1866 a screwpile lighthouse was built but was destroyed by ice in 1881. The present 54 foot high iron tower on a concrete-filled caisson was built in 1882 and was painted purple. It is now a more traditional brown, and while it has begun to tilt, it has survived Sharps Island which has completely disappeared.
I drew from a greeting card published by Heritage Art Publishers, Inc. Easton, Maryland. The original watercolour painting is by Ann Clotworthy Charlton, a resident of St. Michaels, Maryland.
Try to work on my watercolour. Copy from the greeting card but cannot get the blue in the sky and sea correct.
Happened in my back yard a couple of years ago. This bird sat on the log and finished the meal over a two-hour period. It was interesting to watch it pull and tug away the bite-sized pieces.
I'm probably not alone in finding ice formations in puddles fascinating. I must looks a little strange standing over a frozen puddle in the middle of a river walk, trying to work a composition, should have got the camera out sooner.

Sharpes Coaches former Dublin Volvo B7TL NBZ 301 on Maid Marian Way. While looking like any other ALX400 at first glance, Dublin Bus spec ones can be identified by the set-back windscreen top (DB being about the only other operator beside NCT to specify this on buses) and the lack of high-level brake/indicator lights on the rear.

Photographed out my back window while perched in an apricot tree about 20 feet from me. Photographed through window glass so not the best quality. I think he/she knows I am watching. IMG_0071
It flew into our living room window this afternoon so while it was regaining it's composure I ran got my camera and clicked off a few.
I took this from the van and so far away that I thought it was a Robin because it looked reddish on the breast. Surprised me when I enlarged it on my desktop!
