Two anhinga chicks waiting patiently (at least for birds!) for mom and/or dad to show up with a meal. Not long after this shot, both parents arrived for a happy reunion and a snack.
I was totally amazed at how fast these two grew up. While I did not get the chance to see them fly away, the transformation in the short time I was on the island was truly remarkable. These two were getting close to adult size in a matter of a few short weeks.
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

"The rose is a flower of love. The world has acclaimed it for centuries. Pink roses are for love hopeful and expectant. White roses are for love dead or forsaken, but the red roses, ah the red roses are for love triumphant."
In the morning, Lord you hear my voice, in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
Psalm 5:3
On sunny autumn and winter day expectant Atlantic grey seals certainly know how to soak up the sun. From early spring onwards they carry within them a single unborn pup. Eventually as the days grow shorter they haul themselves up on beaches or a hidden coves to give birth.
Fattened up with blabber, there they wait for their silky white pups to be born. Nourished on extremely fat-rich milk, in just over two weeks the pups increase three-fold in size. The mother on the other hand, loses a third of her weight during her time with the pup. Only when the pup is fully weaned after several weeks will she return to the open sea.
Many thanks for your welcome comments, which are greatly appreciated.
In the morning, Lord you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
Psalm 5:3
We are ever expectant to see the eaglets, but I didn't see any heads pop up today. This adult left the nest to clean off its beak. You can see some gunk hanging off the end of the beak. That's when I zeroed back in on the nest as often the heads pop up towards the nearby-perching adult.

I'm sure many of you have been waiting expectantly for my annual Wild Rose post since it is the state flower of Iowa. This year because of the wet spring the prairie grasses are very lush and tall so the roses are somewhat hidden.
Playing with my old Auto Sears 135mm f2.8 lens that I rediscovered recently.
It took me forever to get a shot of him (he was busy mating off & on with some female dragonflies nearby), but he finally took a rest on the tip of this plant right near where I was leaning...
Sympetrum illotum (Cardinal Meadowhawk), Males perch low over or adjacent to still or slow-moving water at ponds, canals, and small open streams. The eyes are red to go with an orange-red face, and they often perch expectantly, wings bowed forward, ready to launch at any moment.
Ian Anderson - A Raft Of Penguins
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub0MG1qIiNc
A raft of penguins on a frozen sea.
Expectant faces look down on me.
Shuffle uneasy.
The whistler plays.
Counting eleven, they begin to pray.
Tenuous but clinging, the missing link
Joins us, closer than we might think.
Some half remembered coarse jungle drum
A naked heart-beat, trill and hum.
This world's no stage for the faint at heart.
Each symphony, a sum of parts.
Each overture, a sweet foreplay.
Let's crash and burn some other day.
Bonded in terror or suspicion deep
Tentative tiptoe or giant leap
Call down the angels to guide them in
A raft of penguins take to the wing.

Lindisfarne, Holy Island, Northumberland
It had been a tough three days so far and the third early start for an expectant sunrise didn’t ease our tiredness. The day had started at Dunstanburgh Castle and the black pebble boulders of Embleton Bay.
If I needed proof that I’m getting old and my general fitness is not as good as I would like to think it is… was demonstrated to me in spades!!! I really wanted to shoot low level at boulder height, but getting anywhere amongst them was a bridge to far for me. To say they are as slippy as hell is an understatement and I couldn’t find a decent pitch for my tripod. It didn’t help that I couldn’t stand up as well and so retreated back to the safety of the rock slabs… which still proved slippy as hell if you stepped on the slimy stuff!
I got a few shots of the pillbox and walked with Geoff to the other end of the beach to see if I could salvage anything from the morning (not really looked at them so far).
Back at the cottage, the effort of the morning shoot had taken its toll on us all and the option of staying in with afternoon snoozes beckoning was rising high up the list. However, Geoff had researched a potential shot of the causeway and so we headed back to Lindisfarne to catch the incoming tide.
I’m glad we did make the effort. Something quite therapeutically about standing in the middle of a road in wellies with a creeping tide heading towards you. I say creeping, that tide moves bloody fast and I was forever retreating backwards to the mainland.
Ruby, nearly 12 weeks old, went for her first walk in public today after having her vaccinations recently. She's waiting outside our house for my daughter to take her onto the street.
“Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn?
Or the quiet and calm just as a storm ends?
Or perhaps you know the silence when you haven't the answer to a question you've been asked,
or the hush of a country road at night,
or the expectant pause of a room full of people when someone is just about to speak,
or,
most beautiful of all,
the moment after the door closes and you're alone in the whole house?
Each one is different, you know,
and all very beautiful if you listen carefully.”

Junger Fuchs im Park in Berlin. Füchse gehören in Berlin inzwischen fast schon zum Stadtbild. Da es viele Parks und Grünflächen in Berlin gibt, und viele Karnickel und Ratten und weggeworfene Lebensmittel, haben Füchse eine gute Reproduktionsgrundlage. Man trifft sie inzwischen immer häufiger in Parks, auf Friedhöfen und manchmal auch einfach so auf offener Straße. Sie wissen, dass ihnen von Menschen in der Stadt wenig Gefahr droht, und zeigen sich deshalb häufig auch am Tag. Dieser hier ist noch sehr jung, und sehr sehr neugierig. Offensichtlich ist er im Park des Klinikums inzwischen an Menschen gewöhnt, denn er läuft nicht gleich weg, sonder hält erwartungsvoll Abstand.
Young fox in a park in Berlin. Foxes have almost become part of the cityscape in Berlin. As there are many parks and green spaces in Berlin, and lots of rabbits and rats and discarded food, foxes have a good basis for reproduction. They are now increasingly common in parks, cemeteries and sometimes just on the street. They know that there is little danger to them from people in the city and therefore often show themselves during the day. This one is still very young, and very very curious. Obviously he is now used to people in the park of the hospital, because he doesn't run away, but keeps his distance expectantly.
At a regular feeding site where locals' actions have encouraged the attendance of a selection of species including the red-listed Marsh Tit which were not as accommodating as this Robin the bully of the site.
Quite pleased with this capture by my NiftyFifty! ;o)

At first, the horse is inquisitive, almost expectant, as if I might be the bearer of food or some treat. It makes eye contact with me and visibly relaxes perhaps in response to my soothing tone of voice. It lets me stroke it's muzzle. As soon as I raise the camera, as gently as I can, the animal's muscles immediately become tense and it moves side-on to me, almost as if it instinctively perceives a threat - as if the camera is yet another instrument of human-inflicted pain, like the electrified fence. It occurred to me that I was being insulted, but of course the horse is not capable of such subtlety - its affective responses are not cognitively mediated in the way we grandiosely believe ours to be. We are just slightly evolved monkeys after all, from one point of view.
That expectant, magical spell that precedes the coming of a new dawn.
In this case, roughly thirty minutes before sunrise.
You almost never see a single soul on the Highland hills at this time. This being a Sunday morning, & me daring to traverse a couple of 'Munros', humanity would soon start to make an appearance - but long after the best of the day.
A vague feeling of guilt sometimes affects my thinking at times like this: to stand there gawping at such majesty, & be the only living soul in miles to witness it.

Margo is so cute here, that face :) We were playing in the garden with a squeaky ladybird, there are three ladybirds, but of course they want the same soggy one :)
I had the toy in one hand and my camera in the other here, Evie & Olive behind her.
Even though this was taken back in June, it suits my expectant mood of the coming seasonal change. The mornings are already cooler than a few weeks ago, even as the afternoon temps rise into the upper 90's...our hottest days of the summer so far.
“Dutch Angle” perspective was created in the 1920’s by Germany. Its use in documentary video and portraiture was meant to enhance the mood/tension/importance of the subject. Its use has, not surprisingly, been “highjacked” over time from being documentary in nature to being frequently used in landscapes, still lifes and architecture with the inevitable reduction of its emotional impact on viewers. The original human (portrait) element is frequently no longer present. A pleasing perspective regardless if not employed to excess. The photo was originally taken for the Dutch Angle theme but held back a week as better suited for “Dogmania”. This image taken at 45 degree tilt from the sofa on which Pooka was laying.
Twice the joy, waiting expectantly for food........
Its nice to see them doing really well.
Oystercatcher
Scientific name: Haematopus ostralegus
Did you know?
There are 12 species of oystercatcher in the world, all of which look very similar, being either pied or plain black, with a red bill and pink legs. A further species of oystercatcher became extinct in the 20th century.
A beautiful cross fox with its gorgeous long tail and bright eyes stands at the edge of a gravel road in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. The cross fox is a melanistic colour variant of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and is genetically the same. This fox may also be a red/silver fox hybrid. It seemed quite tame and may have been fed by people travelling along this remote gravel road.
