Whether you're a birdwatcher, nature photographer, or nature enthusiast, we're always excited to come upon a species we have not seen before - i.e. a lifer. It often happens by chance, and that's what happened to me this week.
I decided to spend an afternoon at the river, knowing that a diversity of birds frequent a particular section of the Little Red River. This is also a good time of the year for birdwatching and bird photography, since we are seeing signs of bird migration in north Arkansas.
Not long after I got to the river, I was busy photographing ospreys and great egrets. I glanced down river and noticed a small white bird, way too small to be a great egret. It finally registered with me that it was a juvenile little blue heron. A lifer! I had never seen one, let alone photographed one.
I made my way downriver and was able to get close enough for some great images without disturbing the bird. Interestingly, this bird was so intent on stalking prey, it was unaware of my presence, undisturbed by the shutter clicks, and it waded toward me! What a great afternoon - lots of birds, perfect weather and sunlight, but especially the little blue heron.

Bixby Bridge, CA (No. 1)
Bixby Bridge, also known as Bixby Creek Bridge, on the Big Sur coast of California, is one of the most photographed bridges in California due to its aesthetic design, "graceful architecture and magnificent setting". It is a reinforced concrete open-spandrel arch bridge. The bridge is 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco and 13 miles (21 km) south of Carmel in Monterey County on State Route 1.
Before the opening of the bridge in 1932, residents of the Big Sur area were virtually cut off during winter due to blockages on the often impassable Old Coast Road, which led 11 miles (18 km) inland. The bridge was built under budget for $199,861 (equivalent to $3.64 million in 2023 dollars) and, at 360 feet (110 m), was the longest concrete arch span in the California State Highway System. When it was completed, it was the highest single-span arch bridge in the world,  and it remains one of the tallest.
The land north and south of the bridge was privately owned until 1988 and 2001. A logging company obtained approval to harvest redwood on the former Bixby Ranch to the north in 1986, and in 2000 a developer obtained approval to subdivide the former Brazil Ranch to the south. Local residents and conservationists fought their plans, and both pieces of land were eventually acquired by local and federal government agencies. A $20 million seismic retrofit was completed in 1996, although its 24-foot (7.3 m) width does not meet modern standards requiring bridges to be 32 feet (9.8 m) wide.
The bridge is "one of the most photographed features on the West Coast" and in the world. It has been featured on "postcards, TV ads, everywhere," according to Debra Geiler, project manager for the Trust for Public Land. The bridge's location on the scenic Central Coast of California, the parabolic shape of the arch, the tall spandrel columns, and the architectural piers contribute to an "intense aesthetic experience." "It's the gateway to Big Sur and the interior has never been logged. The land is pristine." Zad Leavy, former executive director of the Big Sur Land Trust, described the land as "...the most spectacular meeting of ocean and land in the entire United States."

dreamt that i was at a familiar creek, wading in to about waist deep while my little sister took photos of the banyan trees nearby. i saw on the creekbed a projection of the veneziano engraving of daphne and apollo, in the sunlight filtering through the water. it seemed to be the shadow of a ghostly square of plastic floating near me, so I ducked underwater to grab it. the plastic (which was printed with the veneziano illustration) was connected to a bunch of other objects: a large piece of frabric, a necklace with a deformed, green cast glass pendant, and a barely legible exhibition catalogue for a show from a decade prior. i laid these objects on the grass of the creek bank. the fabric was three rectangular pieces of rough, stained calico stitched together, each with a different image printed on it. the first was a female centaur shot with arrows in a similar style to the veneziano print. the second was an abstract black and white screenprint. the third was a series of sentences in a complicated font that obscured the words, if it was even in english.

had a momentary obsession that i shall ramble about in the tags
#doing research on this old abandoned bridge that my younger brother's airsoft team used to cross for their campaigns#just on the edge of a nearby town and literally falling apart#and anyway found out some really interesting things today!#there is only one resident remaining on the other side of the bridge; he actually fell through the thing about 5 years ago#he caught himself though so he didn't land in the VERY deep and COLD mountain creek below#he doesn't qualify for any kind of land/property/fire insurance because literally no one can reach his trailer from the other side#the bridge was built in 1917 and there were at least 10 other homes on the other side & a town dump further along the road#(i explored a little over there once with sky; i got the 'grand tour' with him & said sole resident [sky & co's friend])#the same town used to have at least five different train routes#the same town had TROLLEYS?!?#i knew they had a canal system (i've explored some of that before) and only half the train tracks are abandoned but like#TROLLEYs?!?!?#they were there as late as the tail end of the 1950s WHY did you GET RID of THEM?!#i found a lot of local history blogs and just-#it was all so pretty and there were more bridges across the three rivers i'm-#i'm so sad because we had all this beautiful public transit and it's just Gone now#anyway~#i got my answers as to WHY the bridge went into disrepair anyway: the town shut down the dump (not quite sure yet why)-#and put most of the land- and the connecting bridge- up for sale#sky's buddy mike did NOT sell his property but all others had either passed on or moved away#the lawyer who bought the parcel- one of those local families that thinks they're hot shit because they're wealthy- decided to neglect it#cue several really intense floods in the early-to mid 2000s and the base of the bridge is basically shambles#the trellises are still there but literally it barely supports any weight these days; mike had it patched up with ramshackle wood beams#and some plywood; i remember crossing it around... 2018-ish? and there were just whole patches where there was nothing at all between#you and the water. skyler led the way across; the airsoft team had spraypainted the spots where the wood was safest to cross#but yeah in case anyone's curious what ace did today during their downtime at work now you know#history shit#shut up ace
