The incredible Laila (lying down) and her teen son, Khumbu (sat) photographed at Big Cat Sanctuary, Kent.
Lesser Tenrecs spend the winter in brumation, very rarely waking but occasionally they get up to drink water or nibble on cat biscuits. The family are quite dry skinned after a winter of snoozing and I plan a vet check up this month. But they are all incredibly lively, eating lots and are up all night currently, partying..!!
Our first full day in Armenia was a Sunday. I'd lost track of that until we entered the monastry/church in the mountain town of Odzun (1200 metres). We were greeted by the beautiful sound of the liturgy and the amazing incense. The atmosphere was amazing!
I'm calling this photo "Madonna and Child". Please look through the smoke. The monastery was founded in the 10th Century.
One of my best and favourite, yet less successful images. The Fresco emerging from the smoke is, for me, exquisite.
Many thanks to Tatev Khorenyan, our brilliant guide in Armenia.
For those interested, hand held and no flash.
PLEASE: view large. Again its worth it!
AND: NO use without my permission.
Thanks for every visit, comment and fave! Des
Illuminated & silhouetted by stormy, yet incredibly bright sky works, a 'Mother and Child' trail sticks on the earth below their feet.

Upfront I have to say that the original photo is not mine, it was taken by my friend when he took his new puppy back to visit her mother. I instantly loved the expressions on their faces. The mother dog's backstory is truly amazing. She was (I can say only that it was miraculously) rescued by her owner from being shot by a hotel manager in Mexico for begging and being a pest in front of his establishment.
Of course, when her owner (after driving from Mexico to WA state) got her home, she was found to be pregnant. My friend is now the proud and loving owner of one of her puppies. This is such a "feel good" story that I had to share it. Of course, I had to paint my friend's photo of mother and child.

June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day and a time to celebrate the unique heritage, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.
This also marks the longest day of the year, the Summer Solstice and a new season of life.
There are three categories of Indigenous peoples in Canada: Inuit, Métis and First Nations. The Inuit primarily inhabit the northern regions of Canada. Their homeland, known as Inuit Nunangat, includes much of the land, water and ice contained in the Arctic region. Métis peoples are of mixed European and Indigenous ancestry, and live mostly in the Prairie provinces and Ontario, but also in other parts of the country. First Nations peoples were the original inhabitants of the land that is now Canada, often occupying territories south of the Arctic.

The pristinely white Great Egret gets dressed up for the breeding season & these long plumes grow from its back.
Called "aigrettes", these plumes were the bane of Egrets in the late nineteenth century, when such adornments were prized for ladies’ hats.
Mother and child seen here nestled in a very safe location above the water.
Great to see all of the inhabited nests among the Bald Cypress trees draped with the Spanish Moss.
Thank y'all for viewing. This time of year brings such an appreciation for the marvels of Nature's rebirth.
Have a great week !

I stopped near a Black Swan family (parents + 6 cygnets) halted by the rain during my walk around the Braeside Wetland yesterday. To my delight they decided to come out of water to let the kids try some grass and a few minutes later the sun came out, and the world looked beautiful again.

Late post because I was enjoying another long hot 12 hour day at work. Then had to unwind with a couple of episodes of "Yellowstone"
I had this letter D made of Chocolate in a little wrapper in a drawer. Voila.

I spent days trying to capture a deer around here.
I finally got a "decent" shot :)
This was taken at my uncle's backyard when we got home from work...
A mother deer is resting and her fawn is eating. It's "relaxing" to see how calm and quiet they are...even at the presence of a "human" :)

Crazy Tuesday weekly group theme: Gifts
My daughter gave me this Willow Tree ornament a few years ago for Mother's Day. I came across it today in a cupboard (placed safely in there during the Christmas season and it comes back out again after the decorations come down). I just love it and all that it represents...a Mother's love for her kids. No gift compares to the gift of love.
Thank you for your views and kind comments. Have a great day and Happy CrAzY Tuesday to all!
World's first steam powered clock
Built in 1977. Raymond Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 to solve the issue of a steam vent in a popular sidewalk for the renovated Gastown district of Vancouver. Owned by the City of Vancouver, BC Canada
The steam clock's plaque reads:
THE GASTOWN STEAM CLOCK
Designed and built by
Raymond L. Saunders
Horologist
The world's first steam powered clock has been created for the enjoyment of everyone. The live steam winds the weights and blows the whistles. Every 4.5 minutes one steel weight will travel by steam power to the top of the clock. The gravity driven "falling ball" drive was 'engineered' by Douglas L. Smith. Each quarter hour the clock will sound the Westminster Chimes. The large whistle will sound once on the hour. The steam is supplied by the underground system of Central Heat Distributor's Limited. The component parts cost $42,000 and the clock weighs over two tons.
The forest lives in motion—wild winds, falling rain, unseen dangers always near.
But in the midst of it all, she holds her baby close, calm as the eye of a storm.
Her embrace is shelter, her heartbeat a rhythm older than the trees around them.
This is how life begins in the wild: not with fear, but with trust, strength, and quiet love.
