After much head waggling, wing flapping and general displaying, the female least tern appears ready to accept the fish from the male. Notice how they are looking at each other. This image is 2 minutes later than my last post.
My sincere thanks to all who spend the time to view, like or comment on my photos. It is much appreciated!

Was going to end this series but thought it's the weekend so I will finish up with the ending as it is.
Here she accepts the nesting material and he is trying to leg up for the act of love and still cannot get into position to complete the act.
This is my post for tomorrow due to a very early shoot, and hoping for some good things.
Have a great weekend, a great day and thank you so very much for visiting.
Every colour of the rainbow is allowed and accepted in a needle eye. Did my best trying to create colour wheel :-) I certainly enjoyed this challenge and had a great time creating this shot. HMM everyone!
Good Sunday morning everyone, I was at this point going to move on but thought that this image were she accepts the nesting material, and starts to place it is the beginning of new life they will start in this love nest. Cannot wait to revisit when the chicks are here.
Have a great day everyone, and as always thank you for visiting, much appreciated.
Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence.
Buddha
In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Melody Beattie
Political chaos is connected with the decay of language... one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end.

Art, in itself, is an attempt to bring order out of chaos.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
The Sirius Anomaly deals with the loss of my lil dude Loki, the German Shepherd lab mix I fathered for 13 years. The photos in the series are meant to represent the five steps of grief. However, they are about fighting through the suffering of losing something precious. I am not sure if I did the feelings justice, but they were for me to process and think more deeply on the loss. I am sorry to those that are close to me if I have been distant lately. I typically do not like to bring people into that space with me.

In the semi-wilderness of central Portugal it is impossible to maintain a weed-free garden...so I go with the flow and enjoy the beauty of the seed heads, not to be distracted by the tut-tuts of garden purists

For the first few weeks we had given them plenty of room around the nest, and remained in the same place each visit.
On this day, he chose to fly in and land on a close branch. Confident, he seemed to tolerate our intrusion on his work.

’Status quo.’ Latin for the mess we’re in. - Jeve Moorman
Genuine equality means not treating everyone the same, but attending equally to everyone’s different needs.”
― Terry Eagleton, Why Marx Was Right
Be the change you wish to see in the world - Mahatma Gandhi
Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are. - Benjamin Franklin
There can be no peace as long as there is grinding poverty, social injustice, inequality, oppression, environment degradation, and as long as the weak and small continue to be trodden by the mighty and powerful”. - Tenzin Gyatso - 14th Dalai Lama
It may be an academically interesting puzzle as to why we are gay…but it is much more interesting and important to find out why people are homophobic. - Peter Nardi (U.S. professor, 1947)
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman. - Anaïs Nin
I've yet to be on a campus where most women weren't worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I've yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing. -

A new cat has been abandoned nearby. He seems slightly feral, but perhaps just frightened after previous experience with people.
The Photographic Society of New Zealand national convention is on this weekend in Queenstown. I was extremely "lucky" to have all my entries in the Open projected image category Accepted!
“For everything in this journey of life we are on, there is a right wing and a left wing: for the wing of love there is anger; for the wing of destiny there is fear; for the wing of pain there is healing; for the wing of hurt there is forgiveness; for the wing of pride there is humility; for the wing of giving there is taking; for the wing of tears there is joy; for the wing of rejection there is acceptance; for the wing of judgment there is grace; for the wing of honor there is shame; for the wing of letting go there is the wing of keeping. We can only fly with two wings and two wings can only stay in the air if there is a balance. Two beautiful wings is perfection. There is a generation of people who idealize perfection as the existence of only one of these wings every time. But I see that a bird with one wing is imperfect. An angel with one wing is imperfect. A butterfly with one wing is dead. So this generation of people strive to always cut off the other wing in the hopes of embodying their ideal of perfection, and in doing so, have created a crippled race.”

I must admit this hasn’t been the first time to have experienced this unique bonding, when the bird accepted my presence and wouldn’t fly away. Call it “interspecies communication" if you wish, or telepathy - I don’t know (smile).
After taking a few good shots with my 400mm f5.6, I have decided to take the chance and switch lenses, for a shallower DOF. The cute owl didn't move a bit. I must admit having experienced a feeling of acceptance and trust. I gave the owl its space by not getting too close.
Shot taken at f2.8 with Canon 5dIII coupled with canon 70-200 f/2.8 II.

There's this lovely little artisan knife of Carol's with a sweet handle that has been travelling around the world. It has arrived at my house and was given a warm reception by three vintage Japanese spoons. It seems to like its new friends!

This picture was taken at 7:30 A.M., I'm still in my PJ's and I had a full realization.
I went through all the stages, and I've finally reached acceptance.
• Denial and isolation: "This isn't happening. This can't be happening. I feel like my family is so alone in this"
• Anger: "this is unfair! This is unjust! I have to do something about it!.How could the judge do this??"
• Bargaining: "Maybe we can appeal, maybe I can ask the New York Times to write another article.. maybe it will change something."
• Depression: "Nothing is ever going to change. I don't want to get up this morning. What's the point?"
• Acceptance: ".This is the situation. I can not alter it, so it's time to come to terms with it and help my brother. In the end, it is going to be okay. Right now he just needs the support of his family."
My little brother is stronger than I give him credit for. He will get through this. Our family is going to get through this. Life does indeed go on and like they always say "This too shall pass"
Today I am doing alot better. I have a clearer perspective.
This is not going to break my brother or my family, we will pull together and overcome it.
In the quiet of Pema Choling nunnery monastery in the Tang Valley a young monk seat in the doorway in a veil of light and shadow, gently holding a two-headed kitten. Nothing is questioned. In this moment, form gives way to presence, and compassion simply exists—silent, steady, and whole. It sounds crazy, but I realize it was a kitten with two-heads only when I download this image.

Nel silenzio del convento di Pema Choling nella Valle di Tang , un giovane monaco siede sulla porta avvolto da luce e ombra, tenendo con delicatezza un gattino a due teste. In quest’attimo, non c'e' bisogno di chiedere, la forma lascia spazio alla presenza, e la compassione semplicemente esiste — silenziosa, stabile e completa. Puo’ sembrare strano ma mi sono reso conto che il gattino aveva due teste solo quando ho scaricato le immagini sul computer.
The only all-consuming love that she could truly believe was to love herself… so, that’s what she did. She loved herself with more passion than anyone had ever loved her before. Everyday she enjoyed singing out loud, long walks, drinking champagne, taking photos, and her writing. All the while, treating herself with respect, acceptance, and compassion. In times of frustration or disappointment she listened to her inner voice and calmly considered options. There was never manipulation or threats to take away the love. The love she has for herself is her strength and her joy. *big smiles*
