Adams County-Washington State
I have photographed this barn in previous years but now see that it appears to be going downhill rather quickly.
The Gäuboden is a region in Lower Bavaria in southern Germany without any clear geographic or cultural boundaries, that covers an area about 15 kilometres wide south of the River Danube and the Bavarian Forest, beginning opposite Wörth an der Donau and stretching as far as Künzing. The largest town in the region is Straubing, which is often called the centre of the Gäuboden. The Gäuboden is one of the largest loess regions in southern Germany. The farmland is nearly flat, no field borders or trees that might hinder the usage of huge machines.

The warm temps and rain have fooled the Spring flowers into blooming...Tonight Winter sets in here and will likely kill or ruin most of them...I decided to just catch a fleeting moment while it was here...
This is the same bufflehead I shot last week at Commonwealth Lake on takeoff. This was just before the other shot.
Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible and suddenly you will be surprised to do the impossible.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
Pioenroos (Paeonia)
De (nog niet bloeiende) knoppen van pioenrozen scheiden een sap uit dat rijk is aan koolhydraten. Vaak komen hier mieren op af die zich voeden met deze substantie. De mieren zijn echter niet schadelijk voor de planten.

Peony (Paeonia)
The (not yet blooming) buds of peonies secrete a juice that is rich in carbohydrates. Ants often feed on this substance. However, the ants are not harmful to the plants.
Wanted a Sunrise, but poor planing meant I didn't get here till gone 10am, it was one of those days when everything went against me.
