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...
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.

Many thanks to all who comment, fave or just enjoy looking, it really is very much appreciated!
I haven't been taking pictures for a while as life always goes first, but I never stop learning new things and sharpening my skills. I still have to go through a few months of backlog just to make sure my profile is up to date. Hopefully I will have some time soon and I'll keep posting more.
Thanks for following me!.
Thank you all for your appreciation.

Most of the family of swans at Gordon Gardens' pond, relaxing in the summer sun.
There is probably going to be some drama soon on the pond as it is quite small and there are two families there: a pair of swans with 6 cygnets and a pair of Egyptian Geese with 7 goslings. The cygnets clearly have a bit of growth yet to do, but the goslings are nearing adult size. Both pairs of parents are very protective and the swans dominate, often chasing the geese; I don't know how they'll behave when there are 9 full size geese instead of 2...or perhaps the adult geese will chase their offspring away. I believe swans do do this. We shall see.
They're popular with park visitors, although there is currently a funfair occupying a large swathe of it.

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. :)
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.

The fawns are learning to graze. Still reliant on momma's milk, though. Yearling buck behind this fawn. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
