Having a teasel in my brush jug stops my grandson (and other members of the family) from borrowing my brushes - It's a reminder that I'm prickly about sharing them!

Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do

ONE HUNDRED YEARS
My grandfather (Pop) was born on 16th March 1915 - one hundred years ago today.
In the first photograph he is taking his self-portrait whilst stationed in India & Burma during WWII. The inscription on the back says:
"In the bungalow after dark. Slightly underexposed, but only an experiment.
How's about that Dave?"
The second photo was taken some time in 1967, probably during the summer as I have a suntan on my legs.
Third photograph is me, continuing the tradition of the selfie into the 21st century...

One of my contacts/friends Nathan - his website - pwtphotography.com/ - knows I've been searching unsuccessfully for a snowy owl all winter. I think he felt sorry for me - LOL! He contacted me last night to tell me about a Great Horned Owl that was roosting on the exact same tree as last winter when he first located him. He gave me blow by blow instructions to get to his tree in Barrie. It was cloudy but I thought I would quickly check it out to see if I could locate the owl. We found the path and when we were close to the bottom of the hill - man servant turns to me and asks "Did you bring the instructions" I didn't and I ask everyone "What the heck is a man servant for if not to remember things like that"!! Just then, we heard someone behind us - what great timing - Nathan was just heading down to see if the owl was still there - so he led me right to this beautiful raptor. We stood under the tree chatting and taking pix and the owl would look at us every once in a while. He even moved to the open (see next pix) when he spotted a squirrel. ISO very high because it was dark - but so what WHO cares!! Didn't stay too long because I didn't want to stress the owl out - didn't seem to but WHO knows! Thank you Nathan for sharing this wonderful find.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES

This shot was taken in our back yard. Mother ducks bring their young to our ponds (back yard) for food and security..
The African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is a large sub-Saharan African bovine.
There is only one species of buffalo in Africa but four distinct subspecies exist: forest buffalo, West African savanna buffalo, Central African buffalo, and southern savanna buffalo (also known as the Cape buffalo).
Savanna buffaloes are large, heavy cow-like animals. They vary greatly not only in size but in the shapes of their horns and their coloring. Adults are usually dark gray or black (or even look red or white if they have been wallowing in mud of that color) and the young are often reddish-brown.
Both males and females have heavy, ridged horns that grow straight out from the head or curve downward and then up. The horns are formidable weapons against predators and are used when jostling for space within the herd; males use the horns in fights for dominance.
This Buffalo with one horn missing, most likely from a fight with other males in the herd fighting over dominance, was photographed during a photography safari on an early morning game drive in Nairobi National Park, Kenya.
