Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus). This kestrel made me laugh a bit with her feathery legs - I think she looks like a cowboy in chaps! :))
Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus) This is Mrs Grebe's 4th attempt at nesting and she has 4 eggs. Her other nests were destroyed by wind/rain/predators and now she has decided to nest in the middle of the lake on a very precarious raft of grass and twigs. The wind was high today and it wouldn't take much for her nest to be swamped as the water is very choppy. Hopefully though she will be able to make it this time if the weather is OK for the next week or two!
A very beautiful flower, the Festiva Maxima, is almost pure white when fully open with traces of magenta/red at the centre. The petals are thin and fragile and should therefore be handled gently. There is a commonly believed myth that peony flowers need ants to eat up the sticky coating in order to open and that is cited as the reason why cut buds often don't open. In fact while peonies offer the ants healthy dinners they don't need their help. When their buds reach the "Marshmallow" stage, like this bud will in a day or so, still firm on the outside but soft to the touch like marshmallow, they will open whether cut and put in a vase, or wrapped in moistened paper and kept in the fridge - one way to have cut peonies late into July.
... towards the weekend - TGIF!

Happy New Year!
May the warm winds of heaven
blow softly on your house
and may the Great Spirit
bless all who enter there
gently freezing, when the evening falls…/Un lago del bosque, congelándose, cuando cae el atardecer…/ Isen lägger sig över Lafssjön, skymningen faller...

Another day ends... and a night starts...
It's time to choose what stays... and maybe travel back... travel to a different time... to old days...
Close your eyes... chose a moment and follow the path to the door... open it... step into the memory...
"I can dream of the old days..."

While My Guitar Gently Weeps
- www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8K9Y
I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you
I look at the world, and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake, we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

For the SoS group: "Blue for You - ME 2021"
This is a good time to highlight ME - or Post-Viral Syndrome as I think of it. Long Covid is the most recent manifestation of the devastation that viral infections can leave in their wake, enduring long after the initial virus has departed. Reading descriptions of Long Covid I find so many nods of recognition, see so many similarities.
When Maria first introduced me to this theme in 2019 I decided to "come out of the closet" and write about my own decades of struggling with ME/PVS Here. And I've written more extensively on my Blog M.E. and me.
It is an area that has been neglected, overlooked, ridiculed, and even dismissed as non-existent. But by tapping into the resource of the existing millions around the world who have been trying to find a way to live with the aftermath of viral infections, maybe the road to recovery (or a way to live with the new reality) will prove to be shorter and less devastating!
Thank you, Maria, for including this topic - and reminding us all that May 12th is a day of special importance!
Have happy and safe weekend 😊

It had been raining for ages, so I finally decided to make a little origami boat and photograph it outside in a puddle. But I'm not very good at instructions. After 1/2 hour of folding and unfolding, I ended up with a couple of things that were not boats. My husband, hearing my sighs, said "I'll do it!" How many husbands would help make paper boats? :) Well, after another half an hour, there were eight sad folded papers lying on the desk, none of them boats. And, this was all using online tutorials. Finally, he picked one up, with an "aha" moment and folded it backwards, and voila, suddenly, it was the closest we came to a boat yet. So he quickly picked up the rest, gave them the same final fold, and then I had a fleet. This one was my attempt, and I know it's not how they're supposed to look, but it did float:)

Descending once more to Glen Derry, with Coire Etchachan Burn to our side, as it tumbles gently over the rocks.
The mountain stream gently makes its way down the mountain from the spring where it rises near the ridge further up the incline.
Ive watched the Dipper fishing off these rocks here and a Grey Wagtail family chasing the Midges that gather round these places, on long summery days.
A lovely spot to sit, watch and listen and discover who you really are.

This little stream is the source of the Liffey River on which Dublin is built. The deep blue of the water is caused by the skys reflection, as the water at this level, is a brown colour caused by the peat bog that it flows through. I havent enhanced it in any way.
Thank you my friends.
