An early morning rain, just before colours began to change.
These were taken the middle of September, and I nearly forgot to share them.
Had them in draft mode, so that I could share while we were on holiday and then my laptop gave up it's power cord and that was that;'(~
Happy Friday, Happy Weekend, stay safe and take care~
I see this Red-tailed Hawk, or it's mate often, hunting from this same wire~
Rain, rain, rain, life giving rains came~
Can you see the 2 horses through the raindrops;)~
Hermitage Farms is about 15 miles from my home.
Queen Elizabeth has spent some nice stays at this farm in years past~
lovely horse country - even when it is soggy.
ReplyDeletethe thistles are especially beautiful.
I don't like the rain but I like your rain and raindrop shots Mary. It's useful for photgraphs when birds of prey often use the same spots to hang out - I often sit out of sight and wait for them to appear. Sometimes it works, like your picture there.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, Mary! Good looking horse farm!
ReplyDeleteAvesome photo's - I love them all!

Lovely shots, Mary. The rain does give a fresh sparkle to everything, particularly when the sun shines soon after.
ReplyDeleteA long and very pleasant post Mary. Wonderful pictures of farms, landscape and birdies ;-) Love the rain picture thought, even if it was probably not funny for you!
ReplyDeleteMary, these are all so beautiful; I'm so glad you located them. I love your photo of that broken down gate.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful photos. Love the ones of the thistles and the other flowers and grasses. Rain coming for us for the weekend. ;( I hope you have a sunny one!
ReplyDeleteI like the pictures of the grass - I keep meaning to do some form of series based just around these often overlooked plants - well thats the plan anyway!
ReplyDeleteThere are places in Queensland where you can feed these Lorikeets in the wild - I've seem pictures of people with dozens of the birds sat on them - remarkable really.
