Cold morning with fog lifting off the Susquehanna River in Maryland. If you look close the two kayakers there are near a heron that was taking off.
Two Alco C430's have a good roll on WNYP's Farmers Valley job as they cross the NY/PA state line just north of Eldred, Pa. Already being after 4:00 PM in February, the short chase would be over after 20 minutes and 3 shots when they reached the 10mph treed-in branch.
Pretty amazing that the guy fishing there did not move during the sunrise long exposure along the Susquehanna River.
Estuve vigilando el atractivo posadero por si algún individuo se prestaba a posar y este macho de Orthetrum brunneum me hizo disfrutar.
Hay zonas de tórax y abdomen que están sin pruinar, aún no tienen azul sólido, y eso nos indica que acaba de estrenar el estado de adulto.

I was keeping an eye on the handsome innkeeper in case any individual was willing to pose and this male of Orthetrum brunneum made me enjoy.
There are areas of the thorax and abdomen that are unprinted, they do not yet have solid blue, and that indicates that the adult state has just been released.
Full frame and adapted to panoramic format.

A very unique waterfall! We had a lot of creek crossings while hiking through the canyon. Some areas had nice stepping stones while others were unstable slippery rocks. Quite the adventure!
In a "bird-rich" state like Florida, does the commonplace northern mockingbird deserve to reign as the official state bird?
According to the Florida Department of State Division of Historical Resources, the Mockingbird "is a superb songbird and mimic. Its own song has a pleasant lilting sound and is, at times, both varied and repetitive." The bird was put in place in 1927 under Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 3. The bird won over the Legislature in part because "the melody of its music has delighted the heart of residents and visitors to Florida from the days of the rugged pioneer to the present comer."
Someone else once wrote. "I am finishing this post the next day because I had to go buy a new computer after I threw my last one out the window when I read that Florida's state bird was the northern mockingbird. I cannot think of a more pathetic choice for one of the most bird-rich states in the nation. What's their state beverage, a half-glass of warm tap water?"
"The fact stands that four other states have the same official bird; Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. It's as overused as the northern cardinal (five states) and the western meadowlark (six states), and some make the convincing argument that every state should have its own bird."
Who would have ever "thunk" the Mockingbird could stir up so much controversy. The debate still "rages"!
I found this controversial little one along Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County, Florida preparing to share its pleasant lifting sound to the world.
About an hour after sunset along the Gunpowder Falls River looking back at the Route 1 crossing of the river. This exposure helps brighten the otherwise night view ... had to walk out of here under flashlight.
Montpelier, Vermont
Fun fact: Montpelier is the only state capital city in the U.S. without a McDonald's restaurant. Thanks, Lois, for that information.
Delaware Legislative Hall building in Dover, Delaware
Delaware Legislative Hall is the state capitol building of Delaware located in the state capital city of Dover on Legislative Avenue that houses the chambers and offices of the Delaware General Assembly. Front View.
Glazing in the trees and sections of the river freezing over as well. Captured while hiking around in Gunpowder Falls State Park.
I'd already gone up the Empire State itself and World Trade Centre when some local photographers I met said the best views of Manhattan were up the Rockefeller Centre. I didn't plan going up that as well but they were right. It's only a short distance from the Empire State and gave a spectacular view at twilight as it light up. The new World Trade Centre (or Freedom Tower) is in the background.
They didn't allow tripods up there so this is hand-holding. Just about got away with it.
