I had been going through my folders of pictures and realized there were some Heron images I captured earlier this year that I was pretty happy with. This is one of them that I was able to get as it flew past me. I have always loved how their legs hang out behind as they fly. I loved that this capture I got showed that well.
Sunflowers make me happy so I thought this was a good way to start off the week. This is one that was blooming in my yard recently. Hope you have a good week!
It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! We are once again at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg. Today's locomotive is once again Pennsylvania 4-4-0 1223, this time seen from the other side. I provided some additional details on this locomotive lat week if you missed it. I really like how things were displayed in this museum.
I have been riding my bike to work lately, at least 4 times per week. It has been nice in the morning because it is somewhat cool, the afternoon trip home isn't as refreshing. 😅 One morning last week I was treated to a gorgeous sky as I rode along. When I reached work I took this shot of it. The way the clouds were catching the light was very lovely.
We made it to Friday! TGIF! I have been lucky to have Monarchs visit my yard lately. They are really enjoying the various Zinnias in the gardens. I captured this one with some lovely creamy bokeh so I am sharing it todays because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!
This is a bit different shot I got of a Jewelwing Damsel one day. They usually have their lovely wings closed when I have photographed them but I captured this one with them slightly spread.
Happy first day of September! Time is flying. It's also another Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog. Today's flower is one from late this spring and a favorite to photograph. This is Eldeberry. I love the lacy texture to the flowers. I never get to do anything with them because the birds get them all but that's OK. I remember my mom making some pretty good jelly with them back in the day though.
