Happy Tuesday!
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Smile on Saturday is : pigs and piglets ! Isn’t that awesome !!
Of course, instantly I decided to go with a flying « egg-piglet » ! I can assure you : they do exist !!! However, flying « egg-piglets » are almost as fast as flying elephants and as rare as levitating eggs ! You have to be really, really patient, keep you eyes on the sky and never blink when you look for them !
Since I wasn’t sure if flying « egg-piglets » were allowed for this theme, I just add a mini me made of Lego in a piglet disguise since lately I eat like a piglet and I started to feel like one !
The flying « egg-piglet » in my picture was made by me to illustrate this very rare but existing specie and I truly hope it will make you smile !!
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a black and white day at Color my World Daily and we celebrate Sliders Sunday. Since we went apple picking yesterday, I decided to go with a flying apple. Strangely enough we never had a flying apple on this photostream. And I’m not talking about levitating apples ! I’m talking about an actual apple with wings and flying… I’m truly surprised but then again my gin and tonic soaked memory is … well…soaked in gin and tonic. So without any further delay: flying apple. Be carful, not to get hit by this flying apple !!
When an apple hits you in the head you might feel a little bit disoriented or lost for a while, some hurtful childhood memories may resurface. I'm talking from personal experience...once my son hit me with an apple by accident since his abilities to throw something at a moving target with success are as good as mine… It felt like I almost got a concussion !!
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! And see you soon !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
It was a wonderfully peaceful and foggy morning at the pond in Troy NY's Oakwood Cemetery.
Image right out of camera except for a slight reduction in color temp. and a little dodging.
A head on collision would of occurred here but their quick response time and flying skills had them bank to one side to avoid the head on collision.
The mallard is a dabbling duck that belongs to the subfamily Anatinae. Both sexes have an area of white-bordered black or iridescent blue feathers called a speculum on their wings; males especially tend to have blue speculum feathers.
The spider thread has accidentally helped me to take this shot. I cannot identify the web on this photo.
