"Learning never exhausts the mind"

AAW - Theme/Books, March 8-15: My granddaughter learning to read. It is exciting to see her enjoying books. I made this a b/w and increased contrast and clarity.

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought, I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladened empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
On our way home from Bath we stopped to visit an Osprey nest. Two juveniles in the nest with mom 150ft away. Mom calling, presumably urging them to fly. Finally this young female moved towards the edge of the nest and took flight! Mom right behind her. She flew ~ 100 ft around the nest then back for a rest. Incredible:)
As you can see the juveniles have orange-red eyes which will change to yellow when they reach adulthood. They have white down like feathers fringing the edge of their wing feathers (primes etc). So glad Kipp was with me to settle the monopod.
------I have taken a major set back in recovering from a surgery I had last October. I am now on medical leave from work. I cannot pick up a camera and typing flares my symptoms. So catching up with your lovely work is unlikely. From here on, perhaps a few words. Will get back to Flickr slowly. I miss you all so much! And I especially miss my camera.
Be well, Flickr friends!
Today’s bear picture is of a youngster (probably a year or two old) sitting and watching in search of what it is doing wrong…with a spattering of pity party mingled in.
The ranger assigned there to keep stupid people from doing stupid things said that the larger, thriving bears adapt several ways of catching the salmon where the scrawny ones concentrate all their time and effort on only one way to fish.
Some people could learn a lot from watching the bears!

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
It is the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance.
It is the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give.
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.

Polar bear cubs stay with their mothers for 2.5 to 3 years learning valuable survival lessons. Here, in a snowy landscape with willow bushes and stunted trees, the lesson seems to have something to do with the sense of smell. The 2nd cub is barely visible behind mom.

Just a simple candid street style Snapograph captured at London UK of a young child looking as if she's learning how to use a cell phone.
"THANK YOU KINDLY" to anyone who finds this shot good enough to put amongst their "FAVES".
"THANK YOU KINDLY" to anyone who finds this shot good enough to leave a "Comment", I'll do my very best to reply to you individually.
Black Skimmer getting ready to feed its chick... Please excuse the clutter in shot...Couldnt isolate the subjects...too many Skimmers! (...a GREAT problem to have!) :>)
Thanks for looking...
This mama turkey has brought her little ones into the woods near my house three days in a row! I was very surprised to find them hiding under plants in a garden near the bird feeders on Sunday! I am hoping to get better shots in the near future, but am posting this now so you can get an idea how cute they are.
Decided to try my luck and headed down to the river with Scott and Sock this morning to see if any of the goslings were out and about.
While I managed to find the goslings, it was the ducklings that stole the show. To be fair, they had better lighting so they started with the advantage.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

A sub-adult Bald Eagle still on the learning curve with a missed fishing attempt. A sequence taken from the kayak. I'm also on the learning curve with the creation on this sequence panorama.
Here's a confession.
I'm an on the go type of guy.
I can't sit still.
I feel like I have to always be doing something.
Here's to learning to relax.
Key word, learning.

Gibberish. That was all the letters on the page seemed to be to Tom. They were just meaningless shapes that somehow were supposed to come together to make words.
He sat there, staring at the page, feeling more and more frustrated with each passing second. The words seemed to be mocking him, taunting him with their indecipherable shapes.
But Tom was determined. He refused to give up. He knew about the magical world of books and he wanted to be a part of it.
So he kept at it, day after day, slowly but surely making progress. At first, the words were just a meaningless jumble of letters. But gradually, they started to make sense. He sounded them out, slowly at first, but then with growing confidence.
As he read more and more, the words began to come alive. They danced across the page, taking him on wild adventures and introducing him to new friends. He read about pirates, wizards and dragons and he loved every minute of it.
Soon he was writing his own stories, and creating whole new worlds of his own.

Sydney's first ballet class. This was taken shortly before she left the class. She only made it 10 minutes into the 45 minute class before giving up. I think it was too overwhelming for her being in there with the big kids. It didn't help that Jessie kept giving her instruction...haha. I kept telling Jessie to let the instructor give her guidance, but Jessie being the teacher that she is, kept telling Sydney what to do.
Next week, we will make sure she is in an age appropriate class. :)
