“Families don’t have to match. You don’t have to look like someone else to love them.”
Quote — Leigh Anne Tuohy
Well, here they are, all three of them! I think they are talking about the weather and what they will eat tonight ;-))
The song 'We Are Family' by Sister Sledge, just popped up in my head. Enjoy!

Give this Mom a hand. 15 children to safely cross a street. A very precious photo opp at Myakka River State Park where we camped out for a few days.
A white stork nest in the wildlife park Eekholt. These storks are no more able to fly away because of injuries in the past. They found their home in the wildlife park after being rescued and are visited every summer by their old partners who never forgot them and return every spring. They build their nests on the ground now and raise their chicks. It is always again so touching to watch them.

And: I don't like Comment-Codes, "awards", or such groups. Because of that, Comment codes, "Awards" and invitations in such groups will be deleted. There is an Explanation at my profile.
So, if you want to say something about my photo, it will be really appreciated, no matter if it's about liking or some constructive criticism. Your own thoughts and words will mean much more to me than a universal-text.
Also please don't post pictures in the commenting-area. You could post them much better in your own photo stream. ;-D
This family of sandhill cranes (Antigone canadensis, Gruidae) was on the access road to a parking area in White River Marsh State Wildlife Area. They didn't want to vacate their turf but eventually did as approached slowly only to return after I passed. The bird in the middle is the baby, which is now capable of making the flight south for the winter.

Don't miss the L Y - The last couple of years have been very challenging for all of us indeed. Pandemic, Politics, and Polarizing social media. The wolf in sheeps clothing knows that he must divide in order to conquer. Strong family ties and long friendship binds will be tested..Humanity, humility, hold on to Family, hold on to friends. Love, compassion, understanding, and acceptance is not always easy, but hatred is.
Hiking up the Quiraing, a fantastic geological formation on the Isle of Skye north of the slightly overrun Old Man of Storr, I heard a strange bird call that I couldn't quite figure out. Even the usual AI apps (BirdNet and Merlin) had their troubles and the only suggestion I got out of them was Eurasian Tree Creeper, which is an interesting suggestion in a landscape where the tallest woody plants are the many heather bushes. So I ended up spending quite a bit of time figuring out what I was hearing and to my big surprise found a young cuckoo being responsible for the high-pitched begging calls, demanding more food from its meadow pipit parents. They tried their bests, to feed the young bird, which was already able to fly... but they were not granted the least bit of gratitude - the cuckoo often gave them a peck after they fed him.
You can hear the surprising begging call of a young cuckoo in this xeno-canto recording, made by local birder David Kuster near my home town here: xeno-canto.org/814505
Eleutherococcus senticosus is a species of small, woody shrub in the family Araliaceae native to Northeastern Asia. It may be colloquially called devil's bush, Siberian ginseng, eleuthero, ciwujia, Devil's shrub, shigoka, touch-me-not, wild pepper, or kan jang. Eleutherococcus senticosus has a history of use in traditional Chinese medicine. Root extracts of this plant are sold as a dietary supplement or cosmetic, usually under the name Siberian ginseng.
The derived extract from the roots has been characterized for its major constituents, including lignans, sesamin, syringaresinol, phenylpropanes, coumarins, beta-sitosterol and daucosterol.
Berries from E. senticosus contain diverse polyphenols, including caffeic acid, vanillic acid, ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid, and benzoic acid, with significant content of calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
This was someone’s home, but no longer - abandoned farms dot the area among rich wheat, barley, canola and other crops. While the dune-like loess hills in The Palouse are incredibly fertile with layers of rich silt, farming is a hard and risky business.

Our family was sitting by a little river in the park when a mother and her goslings swam over. They perched on a rock which was also positioned closely to my camera. I watched as a sliver of light penetrated through the forest, then positioned for the backlighting that would come.
Three sat atop the rock with Mom while one in the shadows, peers from the side. When one looked toward the fourth in the shadows, a possible title came to mind, "Where's Mikey". However, considering I too was with my family, reflecting on this mirrored the occasion.
Happy Canada Day
