Osprey's landing and taking off (7 photos)

Last month, an very unexpected visitor suddenly landed on top of the papaya tree at my backyard, which I planted from a seed. I was very excited and felt so lucky to have this opportunity to taking pictures without searching for it from nowhere. The following 7 shots were taken when this osprey tried to land on it again but then realized that I was at the bottom of the tree, so he took off right away without resting for a second. A couple days later, I found out the side effort of all these excitement - all branches of the tree top were gone. I had to remove the tree - no papaya anymore.  

Sunset (3 photos - before and after)

After a thunderstorm in the afternoon, the sky looked much clear closer to the sunset time. I hoped that there might be some amazing sunset.  

In the first shot, I observed an airplane coming the sunset place. I waited for a moment when the airplane was getting closer and could be seen clearly in the photo.  Even the airplane is too small, it could be noticed when zooming in a little bit.

In the second shot, I saw an heron flying towards to the sunset place.  This is one I selected from the multiple shots. But I really like the pink color of the cloud and blue color of the sky.  

In the last shot, there was an endless pathway to nowhere.
