Mother Nature, goddess of spring,
Bringer of life and everything,
With gentle touch and loving care,
She makes the world so bright and fair.
Her handiwork is everywhere,
In fields of green and flowers rare,
In sunlit skies and morning dew,
In streams that flow and oceans blue.
She paints the world in vivid hues,
And whispers secrets to the muse,
She sings a song of hope and joy,
And fills our hearts with peace and buoy.
Oh, Mother Nature, blessed be,
We honor you on bended knee,
We thank you for your gifts so free,
And pledge to protect your majesty.
This mother Wood Duck started off with at least five ducklings she now only has two. Most likely the Snapping Turtle got the rest.
Happy Summer Solstice to those in the northern hemisphere.
Thank-you to all who take the time to comment on my photos, it is greatly appreciated!
'Het Speulderbos' is called ' the forest of the dancing trees'. The forest is not just mysterious, it is also very rare. It's a paradise for birds (of prey), deer, badgers and wild boars. So there is enough choice to have a good time!
Columbia Icefield - Just as the name implies these glaciers or “fields of ice” straddle Banff National Park and Jasper National Park and are the largest south of the Arctic Circle. They are 325 km2 in area and 100 to 365 metres in depth and receives up to seven metres of snowfall per year. It is in the Icefields Parkway - one of the most beautiful journeys on the planet. Fuel up before you leave and pack water and snacks. No restaurant, few washrooms, you were totally in nature.

This is a photo of my mother taken around 1946 so she would have been about 18 yrs old but I am guessing on the year and age. The story of my mother is so dangerously complicated however it is the least complicated way to describe her.
I didn't take this photo as I was several years away from being born. I did do the editing. Thanks to www.flickr.com/photos/lenabem-anna/ for the texture.
Dedicated to all my the mothers in the world, the toughest and most important job ever.
"Com um salto quebrava o silêncio
E cantando
Voltava a lembrar
Que passa no instante o tempo
Que ainda temos para amar
É o fado
É o fado que ensina
Que o amor é sagrado
é herança da vida
é o fado"
"With a jump he broke the silence
And singing
She remembered again
That time passes in the instant
That we still have to love
It's fado
It is fado that teaches
That love is sacred
it's life's inheritance
it's fado"
Fado is the most internationally known expression of Portuguese music. In fado, life experiences are expressed through song
"De un salto rompió el silencio
Y cantando
Me acordé de nuevo
Que el tiempo pasa en el instante
Que aún nos queda por amar
Es el fado
Es el fado el que enseña
Que el amor es sagrado
es la herencia de la vida
es el fado"
El fado es la expresión más conocida internacionalmente de la música portuguesa. En el fado se expresan las experiencias de la vida a través del canto.

U.S. Route 66 Museum, Clinton, Oklahoma
U.S. Route 66 was one of the original highways in the United States, officially established in 1926. It formed a critical element in population shifts westward during the 20th Century, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. The road originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona before ending in Santa Monica, California, a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km).
The Route 66 highway sign has become highly iconic for the era, America's love affair with the automobile, and travel in general. John Steinbeck first coined the phrase "The Mother Road" for the route in his famous novel "The Grapes of Wrath" (1939), where the highway symbolizes escape, loss and hope.
As shown in the Disney/Pixar movie franchise "Cars" however, the Interstate Highway System gradually replaced Route 66 as a major artery for the country and many once-prosperous towns fell into decline.
Nostalgia and economic motivations have since driven these communities to re-establish portions of the road as a National Scenic Byway by the name "Historic Route 66", with a number of museums dedicated to preserving this part of American history.
Here in Clinton, Oklahoma this small but worthy museum carries on that effort. It's designed to look like a 1950s drive-in restaurant and showcases a classic cherry-red 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback in the front lobby.

The Canada goose (Branta canadensis) is a large wild goose with a black head and neck, white cheeks, white under its chin, and a brown body. It is native to the arctic and temperate regions of North America, and its migration occasionally reaches across the Atlantic to northern Europe. It has been introduced to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, New Zealand, Japan, Chile, Argentina and the Falkland Islands. Like most geese, the Canada goose is primarily herbivorous and normally migratory; it tends to be found on or close to fresh water.
Extremely adept at living in human-altered areas, Canada geese have established breeding colonies in urban and cultivated habitats, which provide food and few natural predators. The success of this common park species has led to its often being considered a pest species because of its excrement, its depredation of crops, its noise, its aggressive territorial behavior toward both humans and other animals, and its habit of stalking and begging for food, a result of humans disobeying artificial feeding policies of wild animals.
During the second year of their lives, Canada geese find a mate. They are monogamous, and most couples stay together all of their lives. If one dies, the other may find a new mate. The female lays from two to nine eggs with an average of five, and both parents protect the nest while the eggs incubate, but the female spends more time at the nest than the male.
Its nest is usually located in an elevated area near water such as streams, lakes, ponds, and sometimes on a beaver lodge. Its eggs are laid in a shallow depression lined with plant material and down.
The incubation period, in which the female incubates while the male remains nearby, lasts for 24–32 days after laying. Canada geese can respond to external climatic factors by adjusting their laying date to spring maximum temperatures, which may benefit their nesting success.
As the annual summer molt also takes place during the breeding season, the adults lose their flight feathers for 20–40 days, regaining flight about the same time as their goslings start to fly.
As soon as the goslings hatch, they are immediately capable of walking, swimming, and finding their own food (a diet similar to the adult geese). Parents are often seen leading their goslings in a line, usually with one adult at the front, and the other at the back. While protecting their goslings, parents often violently chase away nearby creatures, from small blackbirds to lone humans who approach: first giving a warning hiss, and then attacking with bites and slaps of the wings. Canada geese are especially protective animals, and will sometimes attack any animal nearing their territory or offspring, including humans. Although parents are hostile to unfamiliar geese, they may form groups of a number of goslings and a few adults, called crèches.
The offspring enter the fledgling stage any time from 6 to 9 weeks of age. They do not leave their parents until after the spring migration, when they return to their birthplace.
Young birds before fledging are called goslings. The collective noun for a group of geese on the ground is a gaggle; when in flight, they are called a skein, a team, or a wedge; when flying close together, they are called a plump.

For my Mum on Mother's Day ❤
Zum Muttertag ...
bekommt meine mutter seit über 30jahren immer diesen strauss, früher habe ich vergißmeinnicht und maiglöckchen in fremden gärten gepflückt, seit über 20 jahren blühen sie in meinem garten.
ich habe ihn gestern spät abends nach dem gewitterschauer noch gepflückt und schnell fotografiert, offenblendig war keine so gute wahl, aber so wirken sie etwas verträumt .... :)
wish you a happy sunday!!!!
sonne lacht, nur der wind .... den mag ich überhaupt nicht!
