PARENTS: You need money? NO. Here is money. You need a car? NO. We got you a car. You need a house? NO. Here are the keys. You want to be as successful as them? No. You have to SUCCEED. What do I need? Nobody cares.
Life is full of pressure. The pressure has crashed my life.
“Black-headed Grosbeak parents fly south with worn feathers after breeding season. Their molting locations had been a mystery. The California scientists solved it with relatively inexpensive Global Positioning System (GPS) receiving devices.
They attached the 1-gm electronic devices to a leg of each grosbeak. The devices wake up every 2-6 weeks, record the GPS position and switch off. The GPS device, leg harness and leg bands weigh less than 2 g, or the equivalent of a long-distance runner carrying a laptop in a backpack. Each bird must be recaptured to download the data.” Topbirdingtours.com
Buse variable (Buteo buteo) perché sur un piquet à l’affût, Neuchâtel, Suisse.
Un couple de buses variables trouve un endroit et y reste toute sa vie. Elles nichent sur les arbres élevés dans les forêts, bosquets, ou au milieu de broussailles parmi les rochers, entre 6 à 30 mètres de hauteur, autant en plaines qu’en montagnes. Le couple fait des vols nuptiaux de février à mars. Pour pondre, la femelle construit un nid ou elle y dépose 3 ou 4 œufs, la plupart du temps sur trois jours. Les œufs éclosent après 35 jours. Le mâle remplace la femelle si elle quitte le nid. Il lui apporte des proies et la nourrit pendant l'incubation jusqu'à la naissance du dernier poussin. A l'âge d’un mois, les juvéniles sont capables de manger les proies apportées au nid. Après avoir quitté le nid, ils restent dépendants des parents jusqu'au début de l’automne, période où ils prennent leurs indépendances.

Wikipedia: The red-wattled lapwing (Vanellus indicus) is an Asian lapwing or large plover, a wader in the family Charadriidae. Like other lapwings they are ground birds that are incapable of perching. Their characteristic loud alarm calls are indicators of human or animal movements and the sounds have been variously rendered as did he do it or pity to do it leading to the colloquial name of did-he-do-it bird. Usually seen in pairs or small groups and usually not far from water they sometimes form large aggregations in the non-breeding season (winter). They nest in a ground scrape laying three to four camouflaged eggs. Adults near the nest fly around, diving at potential predators while calling noisily. The cryptically patterned chicks hatch and immediately follow their parents to feed, hiding by lying low on the ground or in the grass when threatened.

Conservation status: Least Concern
(Note: I was trying to get chick and parent in the same frame, but the parent tries to lead you away from the chicks as a strategy of defense. If you happen to get too close both parents will continuously dive bomb you.)
My mother, who died a week ago, and my father, who died in 2006, at a carnival ball in Memmingen in 1954. My mother was 22 years old then, my father 27 (their birthdays were later in the year), and I was about ten months old at the time. Certainly my grandmother took care of me that evening.

Samiec szpaka (Sturnus vulgaris) stojący na ziemi i trzymający w dziobie gąsienicę. Pisklęta są głodne!
Spotted this young Blackcap waiting for his parents to bring him food this morning. When i heard the male above me i stepped back so as not to scare him away.
I have often noticed that when shooting through bushes the pf lens does fall down a bit. This shot was centrally clear. The pf elements however not liking these situations do leave the whole image slightly fogged
Adult Great Horned Owl and parent of the owlet shown in previous posts keeping a watchful eye (literally one eye) on the kid.
Always nice to see females with eggs! They're such good mothers though that they're infuriating, as they constantly lean towards the lens, to protect their brood!!

Parent tern feeding its young at the Nickelson Beach in Long Island, New York.
Common Tern is the most widespread tern in North America, spending its winters as far south as Argentina and Chile. They are social birds foraging in groups and nesting on the ground in colonies.
The common tern drinks on the wing, dipping its bill in the water with its wings held up. They can drink saltwater or freshwater - like many seabirds, they have nasal glands that excrete excess salt.

Elasmucha grisea can reach a length of 6.5–8.8 millimetres (0.26–0.35 in). Males are smaller than females. These medium-sized shieldbugs are usually brown-reddish, but there are also gray (hence the Latin species name grisea) and green-brown specimen. Connexivum is black and white. The upperside is covered with several dark dots. The scutellum usually shows an evident black patch. The ventral face is largely punctuated with black. Lateral corners of the pronotum are simply beveled. The front corners of the pronotum show a more pronounced tooth. Antennas are blackish in the male, dark brown in the female. This species, like other parent bugs possess methatoracic and abdominal glands, which discharge a foul smelling secretion. This secretion is used to deter potential enemies and is sometimes released when the bug is disturbed.

A brother and I stopped at “Our Parents Place” to reminisce for a bit before going on a cruise together. It was a beautiful day and by chance we wanted to get a couple photos of our street rods. We live a few hundred apart and wanted to pay our folks the respect of a visit. We had a blast and our folks never said a negative word. Gratitude and Kindness paid off again.
What more could any daughter ask for than parents who committed to one another for LIFE , through hard times and good times, were amazing role models for 6 children .I feel like the luckiest women having them as my parents . Today and always I love them more than I could ever express in words !!!
First Photo is of them the day they were married
N&W scene at Roanoke Shops: C628 (1125.) Family vacation" time (just my parents and I) landed us in Roanoke for the night, and an EARLY arising after a rainy night, to take the car down to the Shops and wander about freely before returning in time for breakfast. I knew the way from the motel as I had taken the car the previous evening to the station to sample the N&W passenger scene. They actually had two pairs of passenger trains, one of which visited while I was there, and another two pairs they ran in concert with the Southern through Bristol. I wish I had pix to share of that magical Shenandoah evening; I was pretty impressed (well, okay, I was not even to my 17th birthday.) I also noticed that the Shops was right next door to the depot, so the next morning's plans were set.
My parents and I went to the beach for an impromptu photoshoot on Sunday, and the storm clouds and waves were incredible! I got about 15 minutes of shooting in before lightning started coming down and we ran off.
This is also the first self-portrait uploaded since I chopped mah hair off haha.
Hope you're all having a good weekend! xxx

Christmas gave me a Duck that is supposed to be used in a bath and thought mmm i think there could be more use of this duck and here we are the duck`s first location in Northern France !
The tog`s i was with were all laughing at me when i was composing this beach composition and shall remain namless at this stage as i want all the attention on my new duck ! But hey what the duck ! nothing wrong in doing some light hearted photography that puts a few smiles or shall i say a few laughs and going by my last light hearted project with the Go Go`s it sure raised a few eyebrows lol.
The name for the duck came from a channel tunnel worker who decided to name it DJ Duck after i told him the story and laughed with us or at me lol.
Watch this song The Duck Song ;) www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtN1YnoL46Q

"When I Grow Up" is a song from the musical Matilda. Its music and lyrics were written by Tim Minchin. Based on the book Matilda by Roald Dahl. The book Matilda is about bright little girl who is very eager to learn. Eventually, her insensitive parents send her to a school run by Miss (The) Trunchbull. She is a cruel authoritarian that loathes children. Matilda befriends her school teacher, Miss Honey.
The book was a favourite book read for my children growing up. I too loved the book and many years later I love the musical and I love this song and the lyrics AND I love Tim Minchin.

These are my parents, Dick and Sue. Mom is sick with CBGD, a rare neurological degenerative disease. My dad takes really good care of her. Yesterday was her first full day in her new wheelchair. Check out www.wemove.org to find out more about CBGD and other rare motion disorders.
I am thankful for my family.
