Low rays of the late afternoon sun at the Waite Arboretum turn the long stalks on this native bush into glowing stalks.

Castle Stalker (Scottish Gaelic: Caisteal an Stalcaire) is a four-story tower house or keep picturesquely set on a tidal islet on Loch Laich, an inlet off Loch Linnhe.

The original castle was a small fort, built around 1320 by Clan MacDougall who were then Lords of Lorn. Around 1388 the Stewarts took over the Lordship of Lorn, and it is believed that they built the castle in its present form around the 1440s. The Stewart's relative King James IV of Scotland visited the castle, and a drunken bet around 1620 resulted in the castle passing to Clan Campbell. After changing hands between these clans a couple of times, the Campbells finally abandoned the castle in about 1840,

Known as the world's smallest cat, if you visit Google, you will often see attempts to sell these as pets as they are so small, but as you can see from this image, they are lethal, can pack a punch and are not to be messed with. They are near threatened on the IUCN red list, mainly due to loss of habitat.

I've tried this scene a few times before; most folk shoot the castle from the nearest point, that headland over on the right, but I much prefer this view. It needs a very full tide though, and some drama in the sky. I suffered for my art this morning, over an hour in torrential rain before a break in the cloud gave that bit of hope in the sky and brightened up the river. Was hoping for a little shaft of sunlight to hit the castle but wasn't to be. Oh well, it will still be there next week.
the picturesque depression castle in the Loch Laich, served about 1320 the clan MacDougall as a Towerhouse and Today is in the private possession.

Blue?? Well, this immature Little Blue Heron is in the process of molting away the white feathers of youth and replacing them with the blue-gray plumage of an adult bird.
See the photos in the comments for other views of this beautiful bird.
There is also a photo of one still all in white below (in-flight)

With every placement of her tall slender legs, this Female Great Blue Heron stalks the shallow water for her next meal.
I watched this green heron stalking prey for quite a long time. Alas, he didn't capture anything while I watched him/her. This one was pretty small. Much smaller than a crow. Though bird references would have you believe otherwise, we see green herons year-round here in the Phoenix area.
There are two bears at the ZooAmerica and hundreds of black vultures that have made the zoo their home. They keep stalking, pecking and biting them most of the time.
Thanks for your visit and taking the time to comment so I can visit your photos, too... very much appreciated! Have a great day!🙋♀️

We sure could learn a lesson in patience from these elegant and very patient birds.

A great egret stalking fish at sunrise. I took this from a very low angle and the combination of the rising sun and vegetation surrounding the pond gave the water a golden glow.
Castle Stalker (Scottish Gaelic: Caisteal an Stalcaire) is a four-story tower house or keep picturesquely set on a tidal islet on Loch Laich, an inlet off Loch Linnhe. It is about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north-east of Port Appin, Argyll, Scotland, and is visible from the A828 road about midway between Oban and Glen Coe. The islet is accessible (with difficulty) from the shore at low tide. The name "Stalker" comes from the Gaelic Stalcaire, meaning "hunter" or "falconer".
In recent times, the castle was brought to fame by the Monty Python team, appearing in their film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
