A Painted Stork (Mycteria leucocephala) was framed from up close flying by to a new destiny while other members of the stork family were busy in search of fishes in the backdrop. The bokeh here is dreamy- butter smooth and the position of the stork is perfect for a handsome flight portrait. Pics was taken from Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India.

to make me smile. Last weeks there was little sunshine here, it felt somehow like wearing sunglasses all day. So a little bit of bright light in the swamps of the Grosse Torfmoor put a smile on my face. Hille, Ostwestfalen, Germany

It was a lovely evening. This musician was playing wonderful music at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody, BC, Canada.

Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.

(Winston Churchill)

 

So remember while December

Brings the only Christmas Day

In the year let there be Christmas

In the things we do and say

Wouldn't life be worth the living

Wouldn't dreams be coming true

If we kept the Christmas spirit

All the whole year through.

It seems early to me for Cormorants to begin nesting, but they are. Taken at Green Cay where both the Anhinga and Double-crested Cormorants have begin building their nests.

Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat down upon your head with silver liquid

drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

 

James Langston Hughes

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

 

Are the sparkles in the sky a sign of Liberty, or reflections of old battles still being fought?

 

It is winter, and in the morning especially in the northern part of our country, the colors are green and a blueish grey.

...picked up cherries. Anyone?
