A different picture... Not the most cheerful photo but I like the composition and that beautiful bokeh! Shot at Père Lachaise cemetery with my Helios 44-2 (M42)
Chinstraps are one of only four species of penguin that breed in Antarctica (the others being Gentoo, Adelie, Emperor). On the day we visited a Chinstrap breeding colony it was raining quite heavily so the only Chinstrap photos I took were odd ones we encountered elsewhere. This snow waddler with flapping flippers was photographed at Portal Point on mainland Antarctica. Its scientific name Pygoscelis antarctica translates as Antarctic arse-leg, as they often use their stiff tail like a tripod to maintain balance.

Day twenty- four of lock-down in the UK.
More flowers from my garden that are flowering for the first time.
Stay safe and well everyone.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated
Some cheerful little children, who were probably wondering why I stopped to see how cassava is produced when they see the process everyday.

Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus)
Cheyenne Mountain State Park, Colorado, U.S.A.
Friendly and curious, this Black-capped Chickadee dropped in to see what’s happening.
As cheerful as the band may be, for some the procession is very serious business. Málaga, Andalucía.
During our visit to Woodbridge Reserve we spotted numerous Western Meadowlarks on the powerlines. This bird was busy singing its cheerful flutelike songs and hardly noticed as we took its picture. Its bright colors, fearless behavior, abundance, and above all its loud, cheerful song make the Western Meadowlark one of the best known of western birds.

Thanks for watching the picture before FAVing 😉
For now, my pots of Gazanias are spending the cold nights in the little greenhouse, but even that won't be enough with the cold spell coming this week. Some will come indoors; the rest, I will have paintings to remember them by!
I know we live in Canada and I know it snows here...so you would think we would know how to drive in this weather. Another winter storm is heading our way and school is closed again in the area where I teach because the snow clearing budget is so poor they never seem to be able to keep all the side roads clear fast enough for schoolbus safety. This is the tenth "storm" ...LOL I won't know how to work a full week! But I have a ton of school work I am trying to get caught up on...trying to resist being on flickr....

Daisies growing in the waterfront garden. Taken at 7:15 AM
Thanks for your visit, much appreciated. Enjoy each day.
These are tiny members of the family which includes daffodils and jonquils.
They don't seem to have been adversely affected by last night's cold weather. We have more cold on the way tonight.
These striking Cosmos blooms are so vibrant and make a bold display when planted with other bright flowers, as here in my Mother-in-law's garden.
Enjoy your weekend :)
47/52: The 52 week challenge - Try to capture an unposed picture that contains the elements of a story, a strong sense of geometry and evokes an emotion in the viewer
I hate posting out of sequence but I am so behind with the challenge that I feel I will never catch up if I don't.
When I saw this scene, on a recent visit to London, I thought it would fit the bill. Not exactly a feel good photo and not my usual style but I guess that is what a challenge is all about.
