Yesterday afternoon, 1 May 2015, I left home to drive SE of the city, with Frank Lake as my main destination. I was there on 26 April with quite a large group of birders and the lake was so beautifully calm - made for some nice reflections. Yesterday was the opposite, with very strong winds, making it really difficult to stand and especially hold a camera. The wind started a short while after I left home and I did wonder what it was going to be like at Frank Lake. The highway south is through pretty flat, prairie land and so there is little to break the force of the wind. As a result, I had to grip the steering wheel the whole drive, trying to keep my car within the lines of my lane. A few hours of gripping my camera and bracing myself against a wooden corner at the bird blind (hide) didn't help. Last night and today, my shoulders and arms are so painful, having triggered the inflammation in both shoulder rotator cuffs again. Fortunately, today will be a lot more relaxing.
I didn't see many species of bird yesterday afternoon, as my main focus was on the Eared Grebes, that I love seeing and photographing. Far more of them than a few days earlier, probably because they were trying to find a slightly more sheltered bit of water instead of the huge expanse of open lake. Saw a Coot or two, a few Canada Geese, maybe 15 or so White-faced Ibis in flight. Saw a couple of Yellow-headed Blackbirds, one Red-winged Blackbird, a Ruddy Duck, and endless noisy Gulls. Drove past the Great Horned Owl family and all looked well. I went all the way round the lake, but didn't see any birds at all along these gravel roads. I love driving the backroads of the prairie landscape.
The trip was worth it, though (apart from my painful arms!). Now I just have to go through and delete all the dozens of very blurry Grebe shots. Hardly unexpected, though, given the very windy day. I was just amazed that a few photos look like they may be sharp enough to post! This one really shows why I think their eyes look like red buttons : )

Why would a button be bittersweet? Well, because my 16-year old daughter, Anna, can't work buttons. Sometimes the things I take for granted hit me in the gut. I'm pretty far down this path of mothering a child with special needs, but there are still milestones that sting. It can be something simple like knowing other girls her age are wearing makeup (Anna has no interest) or dating (Anna desperately wants a boyfriend) to the bigger things like getting a driver's license (that won't ever happen) or going to junior prom (Anna should be in 11th grade this year but we had her repeat kindergarten). I remind myself of the progress she's making and that she is on her own timeline, but when I saw this week's theme... "Buttons and Bows"... I got a pang. She can't work a button, she doesn't have the fine motor control, so for me, the button is bittersweet.

okay, ONE more pic of my button flowers we made for easter baskets! i really like how this one turned out :) - credit to my amazing son for the design! he made this one just for grandma! isn't he talented?!
Has anyone seen the Curious Case of Benjamin Button? Is it just me, or was that film an awesome one?! Great story line...! And if you haven't seen it yet, I urge you to do so! Soon!
Anyway. I took this picture, in Hong Kong, on my P&S camera, didn't turn out too bad, despite it being in an awfully lit place, and I was a little rushed. But it was actually a nice wall mural of buttons... all glued to the wall.... certain sections with different colours. If I had more time, I would've taken shed loads, but my cousin and auntie were waiting for me.
Tag the picture!

Model :) was the button of a no fear jeans.
I've always liked long skirts with button up fronts. This is the only one I have at the moment that actually has functioning buttons rather than just buttons for decorative purposes.
this is Jorja's son.. he is this years fawn .. and no, I havn't named him yet! so, this is Missy's grandson ... and for all my Canadian contacts, and those in the U.S. that can get CTV ... tonight W5 will be featuring a story on the Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary and the good work they do with injured and orphaned wildlife ... well worth a look!

Button made from tree branch and no two were alike.
I'm rather fond of this combo. Casual and comfy with those low wedge slip ons. A easy and appealing everyday look. And of course, one could always slip on a pair of sexy heels and undo a button or two for a little leg show, should the need arise.....or should the Mistress command. 😘
This weekend sees the F1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone and we are all hoping that Britain's Jenson Button can make it his seventh win out of eight Grand Prix so far this season!
I'm not being disloyal to Lewis Hamilton (he won it last year) but unfortunately he has a really rubbish car this year and hasn't a hope of emulating his fantastic achievement of last season.
This year it seems it is Jenson's turn at last ...... having been in the "wilderness" for so long he now has a car to match his ability.
I shall be glued to the TV tomorrow!
