Another Osprey ... it's been raining and miserable here all week so I was lucky to have a tiny bit of blue in the background here.

If you plant one dandelion, chances are you’ll soon have about eight hundred to pull up.
Dandelions reproduce asexually, so each new dandelion is a genetic copy of its parent plant
St. Andrews is a seaside town northeast of Edinburgh, on Scotland’s east coast. It's known for its many golf courses, including the Old Course, with the landmark Swilcan Bridge at the 18th hole. The British Golf Museum chronicles the history of U.K. golf. On a headland nearby are the ruins of St. Andrews Castle, with its medieval bottle dungeon. Close to the castle is the University of St. Andrews, founded in 1413.
Autumn is here
and I am in love.
My heart has taken residence in my mind.
I pick the crisp ochre leaves
and put them in my pocket.
I am in love.

I was fortunate to be able to capture this beautiful Great Blue Heron taking-flight to move to it's next fishing spot. With the help of Photo Shop I added some posterization special effect to give the picture a pretty cool look. I hope you like it.
The lighthouse is recognisable for the three black stripes on a white background and the words 'NO PASSAGE LANDWARDS' on either side. Although originally a manned lighthouse, Trwyn Du Lighthouse has been automated since 1922 and in 1996 it was converted to solar power.
A Spotted Towhee that had flown into my climbing rose bush. I was surprised I was able to get several good shots of him despite the slow shutter speed. That dang fixed f11.
But I do like a bit of motion blur and he was in the process of getting ready to turn around.
I kept the ISO down as much as I could so the noise was not an issue this time

Of course I had to try my modified Helios on our Rudbeckia. This flower was (unfortunately) in the shade, where the other ones in the background were already illuminated by the sun and hence they created a glowing swirl bokeh. I hope you like it!
This is another photo of the geese taking off at Merced National Wildlife Refuge. Once they took off all of them were gone and did not return!
