Gonna be on vacation the next two weeks. Click on full shot to count the birds. ;-)
See you in November! :-)
Matilija Poppy has been called the "Queen of California Flowers". Unique and distinct, it is one of the most recognized and beloved of California’s native plants. The large white blooms are the size of a saucer. The petals look like wrinkled crepe paper, the center is a bright yellow disk. Some have likened the flower to the appearance of a fried egg. A solitary bloom is a very fine thing, but a large stand of Matilija in full bloom is a sight to behold! Hundreds of huge white flowers borne at eye-level on long straight stems, contrasted by attractive blue-green foliage… a real show stopper in late spring/early summer!
Thanks to everyone for stopping by to view, fave, and comment!!

I think the two big tan coloured feathers on this Mandarin Duck look like a pair of sails. Photographed at Burnaby Lake, near Vancouver.
Now that we are in standard time, I needed to get up an hour earlier than last week to catch the sunrrise. On this chily morning (low 50F), there was not a single cloud or a shroud of fog to make the morning photo interesting. Had to resort back to this dead tree which was photographed back in March. You can see the sun rose over the same position, but the skies are quite different.
Eastern-tailed Blue butterfly taking nectar from a White Clover floret in deep grass.
As I understand things, the eye-spots and tail-like appendages are designed to mimic the insect's head. All in the hope that a predator attack there and saving the life of the butterfly. Seems to work. I've encountered specimens with that part of their wing clipped by what appears to be a bird's beak.
Common though not abundant, this year.
Little orange butterfly - probably a Lycaena ottomanus, but I am not sure.

I was taking a photo of the fabulous scenery surrounding Civita di Bagnoregio when out of nowhere a cat shot up the wall.
For the Smile on Saturday group - theme "Going Up"
It was nice of the shop to line them up like that, but they could have made them a bit straighter for me! ;) If I could have reached I would have done it myself... =)
Have a great weekend

I had discovered that there was a pair of Ospreys living at one of my local Inlets. I was there one day and talking to a man who was eating lunch in his car. I was telling him about the Osprey pair, when suddenly I looked up and I could not believe it, there was the Queen immediately above my head on a branch. She had been there the whole time and I was thrilled she was so close.

This daily manifest for Brownsville, TX is great to shoot during the winter months on its way out of Houston, typically running in good light and quite often featuring decent power.
A pair of Big's throttle up with a decent sized train in tow for Emporium.
With Covid shutting down the borders and the new GE's on site, this would be my last trip chasing the big MLW's on the WNYP. I'm glad I did it with my good friend Rob.
