Behind every young child who believes in himself
is a parent who believed first.

Thanks for views, faves and comments!
A Bullock's oriole pair took turns feeding their three hungry babies in a nest at Barr Lake State Park near Brighton, Colorado.
A parent bug nymph. Went back to see if it is still there on a following day and it has disappeared. Other benches in the gardens all still have their little shieldbug nurseries. Wonder where this little dude is?
These new parents look tuckered out, no doubt with 22 babes!! Guess where the chicks all are in this picture?!
SIG visit to Wollerton Wetlands in August.
My camera. not having seen daylight all weekend, I can only be thankful for my archives!
31 years ago today my mom died. This was her last picture. My youngest son was just 6 weeks old, and my parents were going to Florida for the winter. I was going to miss them. They would be back by April to file their income taxes. Home shopping club had been advertising this new telephone device, that you plugged your phone into it, and if someone had the same device, you could see them while you were talking to them! Futuristic for sure! We didn’t buy them. My mom died the next day, after they arrived in Florida to their house trailer from a heart attack. She was 70 years old. That was a Sunday morning August 8, 1991. I was just remembering our conversations of how I was going to miss her and how I wished we had those devices to see each other while we talked. 31 years later, I just finished talking to my older son and daughter in law from my Ipad with FaceTime. We FaceTime all the time without thinking about it. 31 years ago it was a dream. I never had another phone call from my mom after she left, and she didn’t come back in April. My Dad came back two days later. I saw my mom at her funeral. She has been with the Lord these past 31 years. My dad joined her on October 31, 1999. Time sure does fly by and things change so much in this world. The Good news is The Lord never changes! His Word doesn’t change either. Some people think it should change to accept today’s changes. I have peace that it doesn’t change. The Bible says, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Hebrews 13:8❤️
The pond at home acts as a nursery helping to restore the frog population in the area.
About 3 years ago when the first baby frogs (Pelophylax esculentus) were born there was one, the biggest of them all that since its juvenile years sat at position 45, if one looks at the pond as a clock.
At start of winter the frogs leave for hibernation in the close by bushes and only come back to the pond by spring of the next year as adults to mate and then leave after laying their eggs. For the rest of the year, until next hibernation, only the year's babies inhabit the pond.
Unusually this year I observed there was a big adult one still there and sitting exclusively at position 45.
I have a suspicion this is 45, now close to 4 years old, parenting its offspring. Also, this is first time I see the display of close interaction among them, touching each other in the hands and the feet.

This young Barn Swallow had landed on this bolted sticking out the side of this food bridge and the parent went down to encourage to fly. I was less than 5 feet from them, so I took a quick couple shots and backed off and watched until I saw them fly up out of the area. Thinking teaching a kid to walk is hard, try to teach it to fly!
Back at the Hunter Wetlands, a great day with Archie McCafferty!
I took many photos of these Moorhens with their babies but not many came out ok, I think it had something to do with the time of day and reflection off the water.. that's my excuse anyway ;-)
These Parent shieldbugs were in the same place as the Parents with eggs that I photographed earlier in the year though I haven't seen them there since they hatched despite looking. There were many leaves all covered in these bugs in various stages of development. There were about six leaves all covered in these bugs in various stages of development - a good year for Parent Shieldbugs

Yesterday I visited my parents. The living room still looks like it used to. There's the games console that I used to play on for hours as a small child. And the record player is still there too! I loved listening to my parents' old records as a child. I was also happy to see my beloved cat again! Nothing has changed and that's how I love it!

A female Downy woodpecker (Dryobates pubescens) passes suet to the youngster at the top of the feeder. Eventually it was persuaded to get some directly.
