Welcome back Jim Ross and three new colorful photographs — a bird, a bridge, and a beach.
A great blue heron shelters beneath a multi-colored Japanese maple while monitoring the waters for fishing opportunities at Brookside Gardens, in Silver Spring, Maryland.
The old railroad bridge, which still carries trains at scheduled times throughout the day, as seen from a vehicular bridge at the entrance to Great Cacapon, West Virginia.
The Waimea State Recreational Pier juts out over a black sand beach unique to southwestern Kauai and offers exciting fishing opportunities.




Love these photos, especially the heron/Japanese maple combination. The vivid colors in all of them are striking.
