Rough Legged Hawk makes quite an entrance among a flock of pigeons at the Alberta Grain Terminal. This birds has stayed around for the past month which is most unusual. It doesn't prey on pigeons in flight but may be dining on rodents attracted to spilled grain. It does scavenge leftover pigeons taken by the falcons.
Today's Macro Mondays theme is socket. I wanted this innocent-looking socket to seem completely shocked upon hearing that a plug was coming her way. My brain and soul needed something light and unserious, if just for a bit today; the world is so heavy and uncertain. HMM!
I was just checking my camera setting, when this buzzard almost touched me…I think he was more surprised than me
I had to look in my archives for a shot for the theme "Surprise" of the group "This may not be Old San Juan but...". I even found two shots;-)
This one surprises me that Pascha fits in the rather small card board box;-)
Für das Thema "Überraschung" musste ich in meinen alten Fotos suchen. Schliesslich habe ich sogar 2 Fotos gefunden.
Hier hat es mich überrascht, dass Pascha in die doch recht kleine Schachtel reinpasst;-)
First I want to say that this is not a good image, this one is all about the story, maybe more accurate for me the memory I will have. If you watch my thread you will see that I like to photograph Manatee's they are amazing and offer a lot to view. On this day I was on the dock where I often see my Manatees and I had just saw one swim by. I moved to the right because that was the direction he was going. Just as I turned back around a Dolphin came shooting out of the water not 2 feet away from me and scared me. Almost as if she did it on Porpoise (see what I did there) End result was I only had time to start pushing the shutter, this is the best image I got of the playful Dolphin.
While out on errands, I read a post and subsequently heard BICB-21 get warrants out to the Iowa City Subdivision. So without thinking twice I went out to the street running in Davenport Iowa to get a very clean looking IAIS 513 (ES44AC) leading down what was once the old Rock Island line.
Radiohead - "No surprises"

A heart that′s full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired, unhappy
Bring down the government
They don′t, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent
Silent
This is my final fit
My final bellyache with
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises, please
Such a pretty house
And such a pretty garden
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises, please
Snow didn't come as a surprise to Sweet Home Chicago today, but seeing this combination is still surprising to me. Have a warm spring dear friends. Thank you for your visit :)))
I am not an ornithologist. But when a Goldcrest, Europe's smallest bird, attacked the window (or, perhaps, its own mirror image) of our garden shed, I could not resist. Edited in Fujifilm's raw converter and refined in Luminar.
Just past the famous Ashness Bridge, clamber up the hill to the right from the road to experience the rewards of Surprise View, perched high on an oak-lined cliff edge overlooking the whole of Derwentwater. On a clear day you can even spot Bassenthwaite lake in the distance! www.golakes.co.uk/
The other morning I was walking along the river channel at the estuary, and when I was behind a row of bushes and couldn't see the shoreline I noticed a series of rings on the water's surface coming from directly below me. Thinking it was a merganser I had been following, I got my camera handy and crept to the edge for a look. There was a large boulder I couldn't see behind, and that was where the disturbance was coming from. I popped my head up to look around it at the same instant this otter did, and we both were a little startled by each other!
I like the way he seems to pop into the frame rather unexpectedly, which is exactly what he did!
The little surprises that make me jaunty
The little hellos that make me feel the polka-dots and smiles of yellow
The little gestures and gift cards
That make a trail to a big, bright smile
Little Surprises and Hellos by John Archievald Gotera Sep 2015
Bailey surprised me with a halo, wings, and a wee bear to cuddle to bits!
These little things speak volumes, and get me through my days. Thank you, Bails.

Got a huge surprise when this wild turkey landed in my garden! I heard a loud flapping of wings & seconds later this gorgeous, wild turkey arrives! It stayed around long enough for me to take a few photos of it before it flew away! Lucky for him it wasn't Thanksgiving, lol =)
A 4-shot panorama of the scene from Anne Boleyn's seat or Surprise View at Founains Abbey, North Yorkshire.
It is called "Surprise View" because 19th C guests were brought here by coach and, after a curtain was drawn in front of the bench they were seated at, this amazing view was revealed to them. There is no curtain now but the scene remains much the same and makes the climb up the hill worth the effort!
You can see the meander, or bend, in the River Skell that flows past the abbey to the left of the image and on through the water garden where it was dammed in the 1900s in order to form an ornamental lake. I like how the view is framed by the overhanging branches of the trees next to where I was standing.
Really liked this mural. It is located almost at the entrance to the city entering from the port or rather, exiting from the trapezoidal pier; a place of enchantment for many Palermitans and that I find absolutely insignificant (except for the open spaces) if compared to the wonders that we have in the city. The Mural, created by the very talented Igor Scalisi Palminteri, represents the surprise, or rather, the preparation of someone for the countless surprises that Palermo, for better or for worse, will make those who visit it discover.
It was a cloudy, gray evening, darkness was closing in and we had settled inside for the evening. Suddenly there was the gentle pitter-patter of raindrops on the roof. The pitter-patter increased in rhythm and intensity. I was curious about the rain so got up out of my comfortable chair and peeked through the blinds only to behold, to my surprise, this beautiful rainbow.
I ordered salty pancake with ham and cheese. This tasted similar to lasagne, but made with pancake, ham and cheese sauce. It tasted great.

A neighbour gave me some succulent plants which I duly planted in our window box. I was surprised and delighted to see this echeveria runyonii, originating from Mexico, develop a spectacular and unexpected flower.
The surprise was I didn't know these were blueberries :o)
I finally got my lazy arse out of the house today and spent a very pleasant day with photo friends at Acadia University's Botanical Garden in Wolfville. Whilst I didn't take many photos, I did find a few little gems like this to catch my eye.
We'd been hearing some Northern Cardinal fledglings call in the bushes, so it was a nice little surprise when I finally laid eyes on one after a couple weeks!
We were not happy then as you set up expecting the usual cab unit on VIA train #73 at Woodstock, Ontario. Instead you get a freight GP40-2W leading a fresh rebuilt VIA 6300 FP9A, it's kind of neat now back in August of 1986.

VIEW FROM OUR STUDY...
We had just moved into our new home!
Moving used to be an easier affair, now with all the electronics and the ZILLIONS of cables!
We started about a month ago! I remember having to move with three kids! Much easier, lol...
AAhh well, almost there now...
This was the loverly surprise that morning, not often to be seen in the city.
Well worth opening larger for the full impact and beauty!
Thank you, M, (*_*)
