whilst taping up my living room windows to start decorating, i decided to use the paper to write some irregular portuguese verbs on so i could get familiar with them. they're not easy as they obviosly defy the rules of the patterns i've become familiar with so i have to learn them parrot fashion. i thought it would be a good way to add practice whilst i'm decorating the front room
osprey chick practicing for flight he or she got some real height here practice is non the landing talons spread :-)
the chick doing the hopping and flapping is the dominant chick, shortly after the other chick took its turn flapping and hopping around. I hope I am there for the real flight.
My ma, 'the poet', who is the litle girl on the left, also wrote this poem:
Learning Time
Old stone wall giant in height
A two year old holds tight to the hand in sight
Swarms of Green with kaleidoscope heads held high
Holding breath what's at the end of the adventure of night.
Peeping and plodding along, around the curving path, not sure what's to be
Oh a mass of Green not a disappointment to see
A gentle hand on it pulls tight, not just a bunch of Green but a smell of delight.
A voice of knowledge now explains nature's way
The bunch preciously held is on its way
Mint in the making for lunch it will be
And a two year old has learnt something else for free.

“I’m Learning to Fly, but I ain’t got wings” This old railroad trestle spans the South Saskatchewan River in South West Saskatchewan where the Red Deer River joins the system -just East of the Alberta border. It is one of my favorite places in the world, I have spent a lot of time fishing and camping around there. The whole area is known locally as "Out West". This trestle was built in 1913, and was decommissioned in 1993. I had never seen it from this angle before, but was impressed how long , and how straight it is. Obviously Aliens helped build it, like Stonehenge. Oh, and I bought a drone.

Many thanks to all who comment, fave or just enjoy looking, it really is very much appreciated!
A baby Sandhill Crane walks with his mother learning as he goes. Stopping to feed when she does and being too young to fly, trying to keep up as best as he can.

And learning how to use Lightroom 5...I am used to old Photoshop CS4 but decided to try Lightroom 5 and I love it! There is however a learning curve and I have experienced some frustration. But it is indeed a great program and I do recommend it.
Hope all is well in the world of Flickr!
Only one flower of the bunch thriving. This is an old shot playing with a new bounce flash. I liked how the pic turned out and the rest as they say, is history. :)
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...

I used to work in a boatyard doing haul outs and painting bottoms...
Learning to ride a bike on the concourse outside of the Aquatic Centre in the Olympic Village at Stratford, London.
This guy had just started flapping around the nest which was fun to observe. Unfortunately we had to leave before we saw his first real flight, which I imagine happened soon after.
