I was priviged to watch our resident male red-bellied woodpecker feeding his female fledgling this morning. It always suprises me how quiet the babies are relative to other woodpecker species that visit our yard. You have to really concentrate to hear the very soft chips that the juvenile makes as she begs for food. Andover, NJ
Our school district and our school were on the news for keeping our schools open. Parent volunteers are helping .
My parents, Ralph Syverson and Margie Dea, were married 75 years ago on May 9, 1945. They were married in Wichita Falls, Texas.
My dad is wearing his World War II uniform.
I love taking shots of birds in flight and swallows are especially challenging as they are speedy and change direction constantly. Years ago on Flickr, l saw a photo of a swallow in flight and that showed me that it could be done given a lot of practice
Birds leave when you to get too close, but I wanted a shot that had little cropping. So, I added a teleconverter making my lens 560mm so I could be further away. I also hid in the shadow of a low wall so I wouldn’t be as visible.
It was a bright day, so I was able to change my aperture to f/10 to get more of the shot in focus and to increase my shutter speed to 1/3200 trying to decrease motion blur. Fortunately, I was able to keep my ISO at 800 so my shot would not have too much noise. I set my camera on burst mode and waited until something happened. Then I got lucky!

"The real losers of the war are always the parents, wives, mothers"
quote by Käthe Kollwitz
The most important German cemetery from the First World War lies in the village of Vladslo, north of Ypres and close to the city of Diksmuide. In one of the few oak-tree woods in the area lie hundreds of square black stones with the names of the buried soldiers. The peace treaty of Versailles denied them the use of white stone.
The stones lie in rigid lines in the grass under the trees. No flowers decorate the burial grounds.
Each stone carries twenty names , twenty rank specifications, twenty death dates.
A young war volunteer Peter Kollwitz is buried there. When he was killed in October 1914, he is just eighteen. Deeply affected by the death of her son makes Käthe Kollwitz the world famous expressionist sculpture The Grieving Parents.
At the back of the cemetery stands the Käthe Kollwitz sculpture ' The Mourning Parents'.
This German sculptress made the work of art as a remembrance monument for her son Peter who lies buried on this cemetery.
The faces of both the man and the woman resemble the face of Käthe and her husband. The eyes of the father-figure look towards the ninth stone in front of him on which the name of their son Peter is written.
A hundred years ago... time for reconciliation, I feel.
Lest we forgive we will never move on...

You have children, so obviously you have planned some nights of lovemaking with your partner. But did you ever think what your kids think about your sex relation with your husband?
Current discussion with a friend of mine and mother of four kids made me understand that just because we moms...
