Listening to Carole King today… another old Rocker that’s made beautiful music for a number of years.

Her record sales were estimated at more than 75 million copies worldwide. She has won four Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She has been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a performer and songwriter.

The Hooded Merganser:
Spotted this Female Hooded Merganser Strutting Her Stuff after finishing a breakfast of Frog Legs alfresco. The legs were still attached to the frog, so it took her awhile to dine, but she seems to have had a Happy Ending : )
Hooded Mergansers are fairly common on small ponds and rivers, where they dive for fish, crayfish, and other food, seizing it in their thin, serrated bills. They find their prey underwater by sight. They can actually change the refractive properties of their eyes to improve their underwater vision. In addition, they have an extra eyelid, called a “nictitating membrane,” which is transparent and helps protect the eye during swimming, like a pair of goggles.
Hooded Merganser ducklings leave their nest cavity within 24 hours of hatching. First, their mother checks the area around the nest and calls to the nestlings from ground level. From inside the nest, the little fluffballs scramble up to the entrance hole and then flutter to the ground, which may be 50 feet or more below them. In some cases, they have to walk half a mile or more with their mother to the nearest body of water.
The oldest recorded Hooded Merganser was a male and at least 14 years, 6 months old when he was shot in Mississippi in 2009. He had been banded in Minnesota in 1995.

Thank you for all the faves and kind comments!
We made it here on a kayak and a canoe. It was a tough paddle for 4.5 hours, so we started with the sunrise to bit the unpredictable winds on Lake Maligne, with only one stop for 15 minutes. Do I have big muscles? Nope! You can make it too! We met a few canoeists on the way there, and they were singing “Yellow Submarine” to add to the rhythm of paddling. What a treat and motivational tool to keep paddling!!! We started singing too. I guess, it helps to be determined to get to your destination. It just gets easier!!! Enjoy it!
Thanks for your visits, favs and comments. As always, appreciated very much!

For Macro Monday's "Made of Metal" theme.
(The measurement from inside the 3rd opening on the left-hand side is just under 3" across the width of the grater)
I'm not big on Cheddar or Feta cheese. I guess that makes this photo the grater of two evils :)
So I put the cheese grater on top of my iPad for light and colour. I'm not sure it's doing my screen any good but makes for a handy light source!
PS what do call a cheese with a little horse hiding behind it?
Mask-a -pony of course!
....made in the shade ... of that tree. One of the less hours without gray sky this winter.

These criminals who wrecked our towns, hate Holland. They hate dutch people. It's great to be here....pffff . The drawing is done in red white and blue. Orange is our king's last name. I gave the table an innocent pink cloth which is now torn:-)

Made from a collage of mine of bedroom doors open and I also went to Duygu Bruce website and found a picture of Hypnos, the God of Sleep and his Powers and copied it and abstracted it. I did not find any copyright information, if I am incorrect about being able to use it, I am more than willing to take this work down:
