Tonight's sunset over Mt Wellington. Taken from Sandy Bay foreshore with two of my son's who were happily photographing everything around them and my wife and two other children were playing happily in the park just a few hundred metres away. Earlier today I went swimming with my eldest boy and coached him in a sport that I used to play at a high level. It was just one of those perfect days.
Of course the real joy is to not limit the loving to just one day... celebrate the love in each and every other day too! ♥
The brown pelicans were really working the surf while we were at the Oregon coast. Usually in small flocks, this was an individual on its own.

I uploaded this in October 2019 but I forgot to change it from private to public. Here it is ... a year and a half later. :)

Riding the day, every day into sunset
Finding the way back home...
Once upon a night we'll wake to the carnival of life
the beauty of this ride ahead such an incredible high...
perhaps this is one of my favorite situations of my work, when a hundred years of life in one click of the camera shutter.
The story develops by itself, it remains only to silently smoke outside the edge of the frame ..

"..The Old Rock has always been here. But there were many worries, and I looked through it.. When we are young we all run.. Now my children and grandchildren drive cattle themselves. Having grown old, I look at these stones all the days, sitting in front of the yurt.."
They are bound, the old rock, and the old woman. Bound in this desert for a century. Soon the woman will leave, and the eagles nesting on this rock will peck at her body in the desert among these stones, as her mother and father too..
In the corral behind the yurt, a small white kid is closed.. he always wants to run... And a little boy, great-grandson, constantly runs away from the old woman to him too,
He is dressed in the clothes of a small girl - Spirits should not know for the time being..
- he is the heir of this old yurt, near the Old Rock

A house stood on this plot,, now at least three homes are going up. These are the backs of the new homes and the front is directly onto the pavement, so not homes for gardeners.
As seen on a walk.
One of the most common and widespread sparrows in North America. Fairly large with a long, rounded tail. Overall coarsely patterned with gray and brown, usually with more reddish-brown wings and tail. Look especially for thick brown streaks on the underparts and a broad dark mustache stripe. Significant variation in plumage geographically: relatively pale and rusty in the southwestern U.S.; blacker streaking in California; overall dusky in the Pacific Northwest. Larger, longer-tailed and usually more rusty than Savannah Sparrow. Found in a variety of scrubby habitats both near and far from human development, especially edges of fields, often near water. Listen for husky "chimp" calls and melodic song with chips and trills. (eBird)

Always happy to see a Song Sparrow. This one is in fresh breeding plumage and looks great against the pale grey background of the Ottawa River.
