Mute swan with one of her four cygnets. I posted shots of these when they were tiny & they have all survived!

And still got four.

Not so small now.

Two old Lime Trees near Ebersberg - Bavaria.

Everyday it grows a little more than it was the day before

It gets a little wider

It gets a little stronger

It grows, and it grows

The love for you just grows and grows

At 4 weeks old, he is already litter box trained, He now knows how to lap, he had just finished eating before I took the pic and I forgot to wash his little face. 😊. Already full of character, he is an absolute joy. He will go back to his original rescuer next weekend. He weighed 4.5 ozs when he arrived, he now weighs 20.5 ozs, so only bottle feeding twice a day now - finally, I can catch up on sleep.

Growing in Queensland.

...bulbs in half-barrels.

We have sunshine this morning, and even though I would rather see and be in rain, I am in the minority. Tree frogs might agree, however.

Another that I don't know the name of that grows wild.

If life challenges you and makes it difficult for you, you are forced to learn and grow. It is precisely these challenges that make us stronger and value life all the more.

My husband and I enjoyed a small trip to the mountains with our ATV. So many wild flowers still out and showing off their colors!

Sounds like a reality show, for real! But these babies DO think they are royal, and so far, we have treated them so! Of course they think it's only fair! Their mother is a queen! (as a female cat is often called!)

Taken for Happy Caturday! : noble, royal

Looks like a good crop this year.

Though of course, I'm hoping to do it a little disgracefully...!

Holly leaves catching the light make for such fun bokeh :)

A beautiful lone yellow flower growing around the edges of Loch Phadruig, high in the Scottish Highlands.

Matthew Arnold, ‘Growing Old’.

What is it to grow old?

Is it to lose the glory of the form,

The lustre of the eye?

Is it for beauty to forgo her wreath?

—Yes, but not this alone.

Is it to feel our strength—

Not our bloom only, but our strength—decay?

Is it to feel each limb

Grow stiffer, every function less exact,

Each nerve more loosely strung?

Yes, this, and more; but not

Ah, ’tis not what in youth we dreamed ’twould be!

’Tis not to have our life

Mellowed and softened as with sunset glow,

A golden day’s decline …

Tree-mendous Tuesday

I will be on/off in August.

Wishing all my flickr friends a wonderful Summer!

Juvenile Blue Jay in the backyard

Slow going through the sounds of Milford. Amazing how plants take hold, even on a steep incline.

This is the result of eating non stop for about 18 hours a day. It was almost bigger looking than the parent. The tired parent bird briefly got a little rest as it left this little guy for a half a minute.

Taken through the trusty lounge room window from a distance of about four feet.

Happy Feathery Friday!

Echinopsis pachanoi (syn. Trichocereus pachanoi) — known as San Pedro cactus — is a fast-growing columnar cactus native to the Andes Mountains at 2,000–3,000 m (6,600–9,800 ft) in altitude.[2][3] It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador and Peru,[4][5] and it is cultivated in other parts of the world. Uses for it include traditional medicine and traditional veterinary medicine, and it is widely grown as an ornamental cactus. It has been used for healing and religious divination in the Andes Mountains region for over 3,000 years.
