Only another three months before we get these beauties back from their breeding in Iceland

Etta takes a breather on the log after running and playing hard with Kahn in the bush.

Staghorn Sumac I believe.

Water running off of a heart shape leaf.

An amazing March ice storm. I love when winter tells you she's not done yet.

Time to replace some tap washers - we have some drips, no not me! Lol!!

For Macro Mondays - Two!

Happy Macro Monday!!

Song by The Cardigans.

A bit busy for 3-4 days - may not have time to visit you, but I will be sneaking a look if get a few spare moments!

Drips and drops, below and higher

Clinging to the wet, cold, wire

Briefly rulers of the air

On their throne of metal that's bare

Hanging down, climbing on the top

You see a drip and you find a drop

Daily Dog Challenge: Prominent ... that would be Etta's tongue

Tried a few different options this week, some which didn't work as I wanted. I still got some really cool shots which I will share at some point. This one is a very different style for me. This paint brush is only 1cm wide.

Really appreciate your comments and favourites as always.

Today is World Bicycle Day and this photograph has absolutely nothing to do with that, unless you take your mountain bike onto a lava flow ... which is not recommended. Geldingadalir, Iceland, April 2021

Time to drip dry after a spot of serious fishing! I love the St. James's Park pelicans!

It's raining at Brighton! Julia was hoping for a little fun in the sun but when she arrived, it started pouring down rain.

This Eastern Bluebird was a portrait of perfection in the early morning sunlight, with not a feather out of place. But just a few hours later, his appearance became disheveled during a drenching afternoon rain. It's a good thing he's wash and wear - he'll be back to his handsome self in no time.

Crazy Daisy ready to bloom.

I liked the drips made as I watered my window box tulips yesterday. It seemed as if each one contained its own little garden. The image is flipped vertically.

No PP other than a crop of the camera download.

...and when I was done shooting -there was a lot of splashes too...

I didn't manage to catch any falling droplets from the icicles in my previous photo (at least not with any degree of sharpness, since I didn't have my faster 50mm lens on), so here is one from last winter. I doubt we are going to have any more snow or ice this season, so there go my chances of trying this again!

... this is a different crop (a square crop that I love these days) and re-edit of a photo I'd posted last year....

Had Rain last-night,but they say we will have some Sun later in the week.
