Things got intense in the Gadwall interactions continuing from the previous image. Here one male is leapfrogging near the female on the right, while another male below the one in the air seems to have lost its head! (In truth, it appears it is diving.) A third male brings up the rear, vocalizing to add its view about things. All this action unfolded on a May day at Reunion Pond in Airdrie, Alberta, Canada.

Tourists and locals:
It can be all too easy to go from tourist to victim.
Take care, be sensible and don't advertise wealth. Not advertising wealth may seem odd to some of us, but remember there are many who can't even dream of a foreign holiday.
Organised gangs operate in some areas; so don't wear that new "Rolex" for a stroll down the "wild side of town".
At the point of life threatening conflict, just give them what they want. They assume you are covered by holiday insurance and you probably are (medical cover may be no consolation if you end up in a hospital bed for your holiday).
Enjoying the evening sun and spending peaceful time after dinner, this is vixen mother red fox and one of her young kits.

Initially, a group of Crows began to chase this Hawk, but one Craw took the lead while others pursued from behind. The Hawk eventually escaped.

I went to visit the exhibition of the works of Noke Yuitza ... beautiful ... but I did not resist and I put myself as part of his work.

I have always been fascinated by tracks in the sand.
This set was just too good to miss, with the phylosophic symbolism of complex interaction of all things and people- LITTLE AND LARGE.
Sequence of a White-tailed Jackrabit fighting over food. We had up to 12 in the backyard at once. It was a very long winter with a thick ice crust over the snow. Home, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. 6 April 2023

Besides the rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri) this bigger but similar species of parakeets has become resident in Cologne for some years now. Their numbers seem to increase and they can be found in parks and cemetries quiet easy.
As one man who I met that day said, everyone who visits the wood gravitates towards the stream and this day was no exception.
Paths run either side, so sometimes I'm not even aware that someone's there until I look up from what I'm doing.
Given that they probably don't often see a man there in his wellies doing strange things with rocks, I guess it does make them (and their dogs) curious.
This particular work, one heavy upright stone balanced point down in the stream bed with a rock arch to the bank and a simple arrangement of 10 or so other stones balanced on their ends around it got quite a bit of attention.
One man asked "what are you doing man?"
"Playing" I replied.
Three woman were a little grumpy that what were once stepping stones were now upright, but mostly people were very complimentary and politely asked if they could take photos.
One man told me proudly of his work with numerology and a young couple congratulated me on my work, the woman saying that she was going to post images of it all over social media that night. I'd moved downstream by that point and was working on another balance.
The late afternoon sunshine was a nice touch, particularly on these very short days.

Balancing rocks in public places is sometimes a challenge ... but an important lesson in keeping focused even if there distractions.
Here my friend and I were approached by four young boys who became fascinated by what we were doing and eagerly started passing rocks to us to work with.
They seemed to like my singing too "We're busy doin' nothin'
Workin' the whole day through
Tryin' to find lots of things not to do ....."
