A somewhat different take on Windows Wednesday :-) A tractor ready for an early shift near Delft.
Happy Windows Wednesday!
It was interesting watching the female dig a bed out of the snow each time they found a place rest. Here it almost looks like she is teaching the cubs how to make a cozy bed!

Long-billed Corella (Cacatua tenuirostris)
One of a pair that were digging for graas seeds while I waited for the steam train this morning. You can see by the mud on its beak that the ground is very wet still.

Dear all! I'm painfully behind right now due to other commitments. Hopefully I'll be catching up with you all very shortly 💕

PETER: (makes strange noises)
aahh...uuhh...pffff...
OLEG: (talks to himself)
What's that noise?
I hope Peter isn't in trouble again.
(Sees Peter standing in a deep hole)
Good heavens, Peter... what are you doing?
PETER:
Ugh... pfff... a... pfff... digging a hole... that ugh... pfff... as you see, Oleg.
OLEG:
But... why? I don't think Mummy Marian will like this.
PETER:
Ugh... pfff... well... Mummy Marian should be happy... pffff... about what I'm doing... pfff. There's... pffff.... a dead fly on the pffff... windowsill in the kitchen for a long time now. That's .... dis..dis..ou..... err.... pff.. not nice of her. I'm going to bury it now... pfff... in the... pfff... garden.
OLEG:
You're doing well, Peter, but you can't say that Mummy Marian isn't nice. She's busy as a grandmother with baby Rune.
PETER: (crying)
Sniff... I mean... sniff... it's not that I don't like Mummy Marian, Oleg... sniff...
I just feel so sorry for the fly... sniff...and...and...sniff...it deserves to be...sniff buried...sniff.
OLEG:
Don't cry, Peter...I know you mean well.
Come on, I'll help you bury the fly.
PETER:
Oleg... Would you like to make a wooden cross for the grave?
OLEG:
Well... um... I'll see what I can do.
PETER:
Thank you, Oleg (gives Oleg a snuffly kiss).
European Honey Bee (Apis mellifera)
Apart from the Bees working the Jade Plant and Daisies there are not too many other insects around at the moment.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
This Brunfelsia bloom is proving very popular with Orange Palm Dart Butterflies : this morning, after a heavy shower, this Skipper danced on the flower for quite some time, giving me lots of opportunities to capture him under many different angles. I found this pose aesthetic as well as amusing.
One from my archives today. I am about to go out and will catch up later. This is straight out of the camera only cropped.

I went out to look at the lilies today and was lucky enough to come upon this Yellow Swallowtail digging right into the center of this Orange Lily!
Never easy to get a good a good shot of them carrying out their trademark activity.

As always I extend my sincere appreciation to all those who take the time to stop by and comment on my photos.
