I switched out bird feeders and put up a squirrel proof one ,he didn't seem to happy ,but knowing them ,it will be broken in a week !
I'd like to thank everyone who contributed ideas for the title of this image, the kind comments and simply the shere response to the image.
I eventually settled for 'queenbeeamy's' suggestion as I felt it encompassed everything i wanted to express and could not word properly.
I think the title/ quote applies to all of us and like the baby elephant walking the dangerous tightrope, we will manage to overcome with the necessary courage, determination and most of all Love! Whatever we do carries risk, there will be spectators and looming threats and yet there will be a helping hand(s), support, guidance and the promise of light. We need to follow that light...
Thank you Amy - Please mail me your postal address so that i can send you this image on canvas...!! :))

Have shown this image before but blowing my own trumpet a bit here. Just learnt that this shot has won a special award in the New Shoots category of The International Garden Photographer of the Year. Well chuffed :)
No graphics please.
He fights this thing we call autism.
We are proud of our little man.
We are turning a negative into a positive.
Everyday that is what we do.
Our glass if half full instead of empty.
And it can be that way for you too.
So don't give up. Don't fall apart.
We'll all make it though with
determination and heart.
Our kids are special, and that's a fact.
We can fight autism, and get what it takes back.

"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."
~Henry David Thoreau
If you clicked on this photo I hope you know who these characters are, but if you don't I will tell you their names.
Sans - The chillest skeleton around.
Frisk Chara - The one who fell down a hole.
Papyrus - The coolest skeleton around (as evidence by his shirt).
I'm not sure whether or not I'll be making any more figures from this game, but if you want me to, let me know and I'll consider it more.
Here's Old Strop doing his usual thing - swooping. The determination has to be seen to be believed. Here's another one with wings open, still swooping at me... www.flickr.com/photos/ozjulian/4159796354/

I know it's totally unfair to attribute human thoughts and feelings onto an animal, but (chuckling) I couldn't help but see pure avarice on this little weasel's face.... definitely determination.
He is getting closer to the suet, but as he absolutely cannot get his claws to grip the hard bone surface of this caribou antler, neither can he grip securely enough to make the small leap to the suet.

These athletes were racing against each other to practice before the real race.
I've tried canoeing, but not this kind. It looks like it's harder and require more strength.

Have a thrilling Thursday!!

Snow to deep to run through now she has to leap through it

Midnight still a little emaciated here. Poor kitten went into cardiac arrest during her spay surgery, but was successfully resuscitated, and the vet went over and beyond by taking the cat home with her to observe overnight. Midnight is now thriving and has a wonderful forever home!
"Budzi" Corak (left) and Curtis Sherwood (right) combine to keep a Broadview Hawks player away from the ball in the Wildcats decisive win yesterday. The Wildcats are now in the finals rounds.
The ability to continue trying to do something, although it is difficult.
One thing I've learned lately is that sustainable change actually takes a lot more than this. It's requires a complete change in mindset, which in turns means a lot of questioning of stuff you took for granted. Perhaps this is what I can bring...
A very focused rider at the Kop Hill Climb 2017, Princess Risborough.
It was an event worth going to. There were so many cars and bikes, old classics to modern speedsters. It was a real motoring treat!
I hadn't tried too many panning shots before this. And I have tried a very close-up crop here.

Tuesday races at Lachine ParkA Zen teacher saw five of his students returning from the market, riding their bicycles. When they arrived at the monastery and had dismounted, the teacher asked the students, “Why are you riding your bicycles?”
The first student replied, “The bicycle is carrying this sack of potatoes. I am glad that I do not have to carry them on my back!” The teacher praised the first student. “You are a smart boy! When you grow old, you will not walk hunched over like I do.”
The second student replied, “I love to watch the trees and fields pass by as I roll down the path!” The teacher commended the second student, “Your eyes are open, and you see the world.”
The third student replied, “When I ride my bicycle, I am content to chant nam myoho renge kyo.” The teacher gave his praise to the third student, “Your mind will roll with the ease of a newly trued wheel.”
The fourth student replied, “Riding my bicycle, I live in harmony with all sentient beings.” The teacher was pleased and said to the fourth student, “You are riding on the golden path of non-harming.”
The fifth student replied, “I ride my bicycle to ride my bicycle.” The teacher sat at the feet of the fifth student and said, “I am your student.”
