Quoting a Q&A from Google Map for your amusement:
Q: "Can I make roast beef on Ruby beach?
A1: "Bruh... how long are you gonna roast it?"
A2: "Why?"
A3: "If you want to, I guess you can! Weird question? LoL "
A4: "I didn't see anyone do BBQ there, and there is no bbq grill."

Tufted Titmouse.
Sparrow-sized at 6 inches. Gray above and whitish below, with rust colored sides and a conspicuous gray crest. The "Black-crested Titmouse", a species found in southwestern Oklahoma and Texas is similar but has a black crest.
Their habitat includes swampy or moist woodlands, and shade trees in villages and city parks. In winter, at feeders.
They range from eastern Nebraska, southern Michigan, and Maine south to Texas, the Gulf Coast and central Florida.
Kensington Metropark, Livingston County, Michigan.
Taken about 30 minutes after the previous photo of the drying Medicine Lake, the sun has long set by then...
Leaving Maligne Lake, passing Medicine Lake to head back to Jasper, there were absolutely NO pull outs, so very sad to have to miss the best shots under the most (and rare) optimum condition!
Almost all the AMAZING colors, lights and reflection on the many mud pools were gone by the time we found this small patch to pull over. The shooting angle was not ideal, either, but it's better than nothing.
0.3 second, handheld - impressive Canon IBIS technology!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend; be happy and healthy!
Isolated, vibrant, and surreal.
The alien-like badlands of New Mexico are among the most beautiful places in New Mexico, definitely a photographer's dreamland.
Photo's taken shortly after sunrise...
My sincere thanks for your visit, dear Flickr friend!💕
I was planning to post a non-sky, non-lake, non-sunrise, and non-sunset photo next, but sorry folks, the amazing sky kept wanting me to take and share photos of it!
After feeding myself to the vicious mosquitoes for over an hour late last night, I got a few decent photos of Lightning Storm #3.
(To the scientists who invented antihistamine, you have my forever gratitude!)
Last night's lightning was so much harder to capture. Unlike the previous two, this one actually produced heavy rain and thunder. The bolts were very infrequent and scattered all over the night sky, so I kept a short focal length hoping to catch something. I took a total of 76 30-sec shots, struck gold with 4, missed a few powerful ones, but no complaints here.
I never knew the sky could be so colorful during a severe T-storm, but it probably has to do with the light pollution over Clear Lake.
However, a couple of times the sky was flashed with a bright and strong green hue, kind of like an aurora hue, and bright red a few times. Unfortunately I was not able to capture any of those.
Wishing you a happy weekend, and my US friends a happy long weekend, though I understand the east coast is having a multi-day rain event!
This Great Crested Grebe spent a couple of minutes wrestling with the Perch before finally swallowing it whole - head first, to avoid the spiny dorsal fin.
For once, the action was close to the shore and in full sun - hardly ever happens that way!
This is the largest fish I have ever seen a Tern carrying - usually they are far smaller, but the weight seemed to cause no problem as the bird flew around energetically, being chased by two others.
Taken 12 minutes after the last posted image, all the vibrant colors were long gone.
(I have drawn up a box in the previous image to mark the location of this shot.)
What's the chance these two birds were the same ones as the two seen in the previous image?!? 😂
Thank you for your visit! 💕🌹😘
Merci à ce Rouge-gorge d'avoir posé et me permettre de tester la formation animalière que je suis en ce moment.

Thank you to this Robin for posing and allowing me to test the animal training that I am at the moment.

Est une espèce de passereaux. Auparavant placé dans la famille des Turdidae, il figure actuellement, avec d'autres représentants de celle-ci (particulièrement les tariers et les traquets), dans celle des Muscicapidae. Le mâle et la femelle sont presque identiques, avec une couronne, des ailes, le dessus et la queue de couleur brune, une bande grise sur les côtés de la gorge, un ventre blanc et la fameuse « gorge rouge », plus précisément de couleur orange foncé tirant vers le rouge. Bien que sa face et sa poitrine soient plus orangées que rougeâtres, cet oiseau prend le nom familier de rouge-gorge au Moyen Âge. Cette contradiction est due à ce que la dénomination de la couleur orange n'apparaît en Europe qu'au xvie siècle, par la diffusion sur ce continent de l'orange douce (le fruit) rapportée à la fin du xve siècle par les Portugais de Ceylan et de Chine.
L'âge maximal d'un rouge-gorge est de 18 ans.

Is a species of passerines. Previously placed in the Turdidae family, it currently appears, along with other representatives of this family (particularly augers and wheatear), in that of the Muscicapidae. The male and the female are almost identical, with a crown, wings, upper and tail of brown color, a gray band on the sides of the throat, a white belly and the famous "red throat", more precisely of color. dark orange tending to red. Although its face and chest are more orange than reddish, this bird took the colloquial name of robin in the Middle Ages. This contradiction is due to the fact that the name of the color orange does not appear in Europe until the sixteenth century, by the distribution on this continent of the sweet orange (the fruit) reported at the end of the fifteenth century by the Portuguese of Ceylon and China.
The maximum age for a robin is 18.
Chrysolina americana is similar in size to a Lady Beetle (Lady Bug/ Lady Bird). Despite their name, they are more usually found on lavender than rosemary.
They are amazingly beautiful with highly reflective iridescent surfaces that change colour depending on the angle of view.
Talk about an exposed position - he does at least have an unobstructed view.
This glider, an EoN 'Primary', is surprisingly modern, dating from 1948. The design is a copy of a highly successful German glider from 1938, the Schneider DFS 108-14 SG-38 Schulgleiter of which about 10,000 were built. It was designed to be easy to fly and simple to repair, which is just as well; the first time you go up in one of these, you're on your own! About 80 Eon Primarys were built over a period of 10 years and a number served in the RAF.
The perch is raising his dorsal fin in an effort to discourage the Great Crested Grebe from swallowing it. A futile effort, as it turned out. Water fowl always swallow fish head first to minimize damage from those spiky fins.
Canada Goose flying with a group of Greylag Geese. The two species seem to happily coexist, swimming, feeding and flying in mixed groups, although as far as I know, they don't interbreed.
Very small and thin dragonfly had to see let a lone capture. Not many dragonflies to choose from at this time. A bit early in the summer for insects.
With the alignment of a setting sun, steam from the Prismatic Stream and a grazing bison present an opportunity that I couldn't resist
Insects were so abundant on the water surface that the grebes weren't even bothering to dive for fish - they just grazed constantly on the insects.
Despite its name, I only ever find it on the lavender, not the nearby rosemary. About the same size as a ladybird/ladybug/lady beetle, the Rosemary Beetle has the most beautiful reflective surface - green, magenta and orange depending on the angle of view.
They are only ever present in small numbers and don't cause any noticeable damage to the plants.
Yesterday, the lake was frozen over apart from a few patches although the air temperature felt somewhat warmer than it had done last week when the lake wasn't frozen. Explain that!
Yes, more geese! But there's not much action on the lake at this time of year - not when I'm looking, anyhow...
This cormorant appears to have speared the perch on his beak and now has to work out how to get the fish into his mouth and get rid of the pond weed, all with no hands. The ingenuity of these birds is quite remarkable - the fish was swallowed whole, sans weed, 5 seconds after this shot was taken.
The Comma is a fascinating butterfly. The scalloped edges and cryptic colouring of the wings conceal hibernating adults amongst dead leaves, while the larvae, flecked with brown and white markings, bear close resemblance to bird droppings.
The species has a flexible life cycle, which allows it to capitalize on favourable weather conditions. However, the most remarkable feature of the Comma has been its severe decline in the twentieth century and subsequent comeback. It is now widespread in southern Britain and its range is expanding northwards.
