I'll show you I am capable of causing such pain
With my delicate and fragile lady brain
I will not let you get away
I'd rather burn at the stake
Trying to escape the heat, I took a half hour drive up into the hills to a year round recreation area. Full of trails but otherwise undeveloped, it's a lovely area of near wilderness.
In the winter it has snowshoeing and cross-country trails. In the summer there are hiking and biking trails. And, yes, it seemed cooler there.
House Wren very noisily staking his territorial claim around the nesting box. Both my small bird nesting boxes are now occupied by house wrens who very aggressively defend them.
Unfortunately, since the arrival of the house wrens chasing other small birds away from the nesting boxes, species such as chickadees, tufted titmouse and even carolina wrens seem to be visiting my yard, in Chester County, PA, much less frequently.

Not quite sure what this was the remains of, but presumably something to do with the mining in the area.
"It was raining by the bay. A hard rain; the kind that beats away the slick scum from the pavement underneath the worn-out soles of your shoes, if only for a little while..."

This Gannet was staking a claim to this prime nesting location at Bempton Cliffs earlier today. It left occasionally to collect nesting material but in it's absence other Gannets would help themselves to the materials it had already collected!
Under it's left wing you can just make out some blue plastic material. Plastic will, sadly, continue to make up a considerable part of the nests of sea birds unless and until we get a grip of this man-made crisis.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
Teddy is all about forbidden spaces. We keep him out of bedrooms as he tends to be a little thief, but he never misses an opportunity when presented. We’ve been redecorating a small bedroom and there is absolutely nothing in it of interest to Teddy. But this morning I opened the door for just a second - and got this….Looking seriously pleased with himself. He posed all over the room
A stake with coloured tape at the front of an empty block that is ready for construction. The stake marks the front edge of the property.
On its left and slightly behind is a bus shelter, complete with advertising. In the distance, to the right of the stake, is a traffic light showing amber, with a red do-not-walk pedestrian light. The red monolith is an Australia Post postbox.
The other participant in the battle for territory. Love seeing these warblers swing through during migration. Taken at Red River Gorge, KY.
I've been away as my little town was evacuated due to wildfires - just got back - strange experience.
A firefighters prayer and motto goes like “when I am called to duty, god wherever flames may rage, give me the strength to save a life, whatever be its age.”

With charts and logs lost to history, thereâs some thought that Sir Francis Drake may have passed through these waters of Tomales Bay, California in 1579. The nearby bay, Drakesâs Bay, is officially recognized as the location of his landing and appropriately named after the man who famously circumnavigated the earth. Though as I sit and watch the sun rise I can imagine the sails of the famous explorer slowly drifting past as the natives watch in awe and wonder.
There were at least three other red deer stags close by in the forest bellowing in response to this one protecting his hinds...

Liberty Harbor, Brunswick, GA
We pushed through some densely overgrown scrub to reach the remains of the old liberty ship piers in Brunswick, GA. Still up for new adventures, nothing makes this old girl happier than laying claim to new territory.
"The natural harbor of Brunswick, located 70 miles south of Savannah, had a long maritime history before the outbreak of World War II. Located at the confluence of three rivers, the harbor was used as an exportation port for goods such as cotton and rice. When the Emergency Shipbuilding Program was announced by President Franklin Roosevelt in January of 1941, Brunswick was one of sixteen ports chosen to construct cargo vessels that would aid Allied forces in Europe. After the U.S. declared war, these cargo vessels, called “Liberty Ships,” were churned out at incredible speed. The 16,000 workers at the Brunswick shipyards built 99 ships, 85 of them Liberty Ships, from 1941-1945. They were capable of hauling thousands of tons of cargo across the Atlantic Ocean."
