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

A gnarly old thorn is the only tree that grows on the mountainside among the dead bracken. Taken on a beautiful Spring morning on the Brecon Beacons.

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

It's Growing · The Temptations.

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.

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

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

Wishing all my flickr friends a wonderful Summer!

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!

New growth in my Japanese Maple tree September 2019. This type of small tree will grow 30cm or more of new branch per year.

Trees and brush growing along the shore of a pond on the campus of the University of North Texas in Denton.

this is focus stacking, a technique i use usually for macros. In this case I was using a supertele, because I was birding I did have only the 300mm with 2x teleconverter with me.
