Great Crested Grebe - Podiceps Cristatus
The great crested grebe has an elaborate mating display. Like all grebes, it nests on the water's edge, since its legs are set relatively far back and it is thus unable to walk very well. Usually two eggs are laid, and the fluffy, striped young grebes are often carried on the adult's back. In a clutch of two or more hatchlings, male and female grebes will each identify their 'favourites', which they alone will care for and teach
Unusually, young grebes are capable of swimming and diving almost at hatching. The adults teach these skills to their young by carrying them on their back and diving, leaving the chicks to float on the surface; they then re-emerge a few feet away so that the chicks may swim back onto them.
The great crested grebe feeds mainly on fish, but also small crustaceans, insects small frogs and newts.
This species was hunted almost to extinction in the United Kingdom in the 19th century for its head plumes, which were used to decorate hats and ladies' undergarments. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds was set up to help protect this species, which is again a common sight.
The great crested grebe and its behaviour was the subject of one of the landmark publications in avian ethology: Julian Huxley's 1914 paper on The Courtship‐habits of the Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus).

Hello my amazing friends !
Another day, another bench to sit on. Those composite pictures are a completely new experience and obsession for me. I hope you like it as much as I do !!! This one is a melancholic bench to sit on and reflect on the last year … or just to watch the universe and think about the future… or the present. Or maybe this is bench for singles to sit on and wait for love ? Who knows ? All we can say is: there is a bench on a pencil with a red ballon floating in mid air and a lamp post. But it is way less romantic than a waiting for love bench…
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

Have a beautiful day ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

Today we have another moon picture just in case… I sure don’t want to run out of full moon pictures on this feed for sure ! Would you be able to live in this tiny house, without internet, social media, phones or TV for 3 months or not ? In my case : it is a YES ! But I just hope I would be able to bring my camera...and my husband...and my sons...and my parents...and my sister ...and well all my family and friends !!!
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! See you later my friends !!

Hello my amazing friends !
Home sweet home… Once again, this weekend, we did some work on our house. We are all still sick so nothing major was done but each time we are closer and closer to the finish line. This project clearly showed us that home is where the heart is. I know for a fact that without my husband, sons and our parents this project would never be possible. So no matter where this house will end up, it will always be my home as long as I’m with my family. And just for your information: our Christmas tree is up and shining bright like a diamond (I know it is late but it is still in time for Christmas...).
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

Hello my amazing friends !
Another Sunday, another hungover. Yes my friends, I had an awesome time with my parents and my husband yesterday. We had some (lots of …) wine, changed the world and discussed some major problems like social medias, renovations, fashion, jewellery and cosmetics (the last 3 topics were for my Mom and I). We voluntarily avoided snow and politics LOL. Today my head hurts a little bit and I only have an old picture to publish but it doesn't mean that I will not run on my treadmill ! No matter what : I will run… maybe in zigzags and at a rather slow pace but I will do it ! Wish me luck ….
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

Hello my amazing friends !
Yes, it is another full moon picture… Do we have another obsession ? I guess the answer is yes. I just hope you will like it as much as I do !!
FYI: I’m super busy right now so there is very little time in my schedule for photography… But I’m still alive and I should be able to be back full time very soon…before the next full moon …And since I have no clue when the next full moon is so please don’t take my word it for granted !!!!
Meanwhile keep safe and healthy my friends !! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! See you later !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!!
Hello my amazing friends !
Today we are monkeying around with the moon. Why not ? Looking at my feed, I must admit that I have a serious moon obsession lately. I hope you will like this one as much as I do !

Hello my amazing friends !
Another surreal vision of mine. I must admit, I love creating those composite pictures with my « old » photos. It is a challenge for my imagination but also I improve my Photoshop skills for sure ! Today we have a very comfy chair under a full moon: perfect set up for reflecting on the passing time … or just enjoying a glass of gin and tonic (why not ? Gin and tonic will help the reflection for sure !)… I hope you like my surreal visions as much as I do.
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

Hello my amazing friends !
Today we have another flamingo but, even if it is the same old Mr. Flamingo, he is standing in front of a full pink moon. So I hope that you will not get bored of Mr. Flamingo… We all know by now that my obsession can be very, very long sometimes… But I can’t help it and that is why we have another picture of Mr. Flamingo today…I promise I will try to have something different tomorrow (but please don’t be mad if, in the end, it turns out to be another flamingo picture) …
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well.
Hello my amazing friends !
I must admit, I miss my « old » studio (aka coffee table) and sometimes I can’t wait to put it all back together… Until then, I try to improve my Photoshop skills by revisiting my old pictures. And since, flamingos are my new obsession: my today’s picture is a flamingo but with a touch of love. Have an amazing new week my friends !!
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

Hello my amazing friends !
Who else hates waiting for a bus when it is cold and late outside ? Well apparently Little Prince don’t mind but he is a very positive person for sure. In my case: I prefer walking for hours, during a snowstorm, wearing my most uncomfortable shoes (why do I think about stilettos ???), than waiting for a bus. Of course sometimes, I will arrive much, much later than the bus but at least I didn’t spend a minute waiting near a bus stop doing nothing… Let’s just hope that Little Prince will not have to wait for very long and that the bus will be on time…
FYI: it has been ages since I took a bus, so this picture isn't inspired by my personal experience....and by the way, I hate driving almost as much as I hate waiting for a bus....
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

The Iron Lady is the most common nickname for the Eiffel Tower.
While the name, the “Eiffel Tower”, entered the common language at the time of its inauguration, its female nature appeared more gradually over the 20th century. Of course, it can be traced back to the fact that the noun “tour” or tower in French is feminine. And if we add a bit of anthropomorphism, we can see that the monument’s four pillars, also known as legs or feet, are covered with a lacy “skirt”, from the mesh structure enhanced with fine decorative arches between the pillars.
As a symbol of the arrival of iron, industry and science, the Eiffel Tower can also be seen to be in an atypical conversation with another lady of Paris, her Gothic older sister and symbol of religion, Notre-Dame.
In the 1930s, when the Tower was nearing 50 years old, various nicknames flourished in the press and publications: “the Tall Lady”, “the Tall Beautiful Lady”, then “the Tall Iron Lady”, sometimes, remarking on her age, it was “the Old Iron Lady”... However, it was simply “the Iron Lady” which stuck and was picked up particularly by the press.

Hello my amazing friends !
Today we have my first attempt at generating an AI picture. Of course, since it is a very « futuristic » and sci-fi concept for me, I asked Major Tom for help…As you might know, I love eggs and so do Major Tom, that is why we decided to go with an egg, as our first attempt…Floating egg, on a space background. Don’t ask me, why I got 2 eggs in my picture (it is a learning process yet…), but that is what I will eat this morning. What do you think about AI art ? In my opinion, it is still art but who knows, maybe I’m wrong…
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! See you later !!

La sede della preveggenza nell'arte astratta risiede nell'anima dell'artista, nel suo universo interiore di emozioni, intuizioni e spiritualità, da cui scaturisce la necessità di liberare una "verità più profonda" che va oltre la realtà visibile, usando forme e colori puri per comunicare concetti e stati d'animo, come sosteneva Kandinskij, pioniere di questa ricerca di una dimensione "interiore" dell'arte.
In sintesi, la preveggenza nell'arte astratta non è predizione del futuro, ma la capacità dell'artista di percepire e comunicare l'essenza nascosta delle cose, attingendo a un livello di conoscenza intuitivo e spirituale, rendendo l'opera un ponte tra il mondo interiore e la percezione dello spettatore.

7 Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so they might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH! Because JESUS LOVES YOU! ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

I obtained this surreal view of Utah Lake in the distance below by climbing a mountain in my truck. Quads and side-by-sides were surprised that a truck made it there. Although not very deep, the water is an unusual color and has a bacteria growth that deters swimming.
Zoom in to see the snow-covered mountain peak in the distance.

One of my old time favourites!
In 2010 I belonged to six photographers who were invited to take photo's in the Theatres of Tilburg, during several weeks.
The Theatre celebrated its 50 years anniversary back then. This was one of my photo's at the exhibition that followed. There was also a publication made.
Thank you for taken your time to visit me, comments or faves are always much appreciated!
