This picture has a very sweet story behind it. Nature can be surprising sometimes.
To cut two long stories short, we recently had to join two broods of chicks born one month apart. The younger ones had to be taken from their mother the day they hatched, which always breaks my heart to do, but it was necessary. So we joined three little chicks with seven older chicks, made sure everything was peaceful and they were warming each other at night, and hoped for the best. To our surprise, a few days later, we noticed that one of the older chicks had adopted the little ones and was behaving like if she was their mother. Calling them to her side, teaching them how to eat, opening her little wings to warm them. You can see that in this photo, the head of a little baby underneath her wing. She's giving me that look, "do NOT even THINK of touching my babies". They follow her around everywhere and she never leaves one behind. Just like a mother hen would do, except this hen is only a month old.

A walk around the old boats at Dungeness, with the Sigma 10-20mm zoom on the camera.
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world[citation needed]. And is classified as Britain's only desert by the met office. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. After unsuccessful attempts to reintroduce the New Zealand bees at Dungeness in 2009-2010, the RSPB teamed up with the Swedish government in a second attempt and introduced 51 of them in 2012 and 49 in 2013 to the Dungeness Reserve. This will be continued each year, with RSPB staff conducting analysis of breeding to ensure a successful integration.[1]
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.
I know, it's lazy to post a retouched version of something that you've already posted, particularly straight away, but I thought this version deserved to live too.

N'ayant pas eu trop le temps ou les moyens de faire quelque chose de mieux pendant les vacances, j'ai essayé de jouer sur le côté petit fée des sous bois qui se protège et se cache sous les feuilles. J'espère que vous considèrerez que ça fonctionne pour le thème :)

A charm hanging with paper fortunes placed there by someone wishing for protection and good health for this New Year. Many similar trinkets are available at temples offering either protection and/or luck that range from doing well in business to safe travels to starting a family.
Until now, I thought people usually bought them to carry on their person for the next 12 months, this was the first time I'd seen one hanging up in a temple.
Please view large it makes a difference.

The Madison Fire Protection District of Yolo County, California, runs this 1981 Ford L-8000 water tender. It carries 2000 gallons of water and has a 500-GPM pump.

The Mute swan is a very large white waterbird. It has a long S-shaped neck and an orange bill with a black base and a black knob. It flies with its neck extended and regular, slow wingbeats. The population in the UK has increased recently, perhaps due to better protection of this species.
The mute swan (Cygnus olor) is a species of swan and a member of the waterfowl family Anatidae. It is native to much of Eurosiberia, and (as a rare winter visitor) the far north of Africa. It is an introduced species in North America – home to the largest populations outside of its native range – with additional smaller introductions in Australasia and southern Africa. The name 'mute' derives from it being less vocal than other swan species.[2][3][4] Measuring 125 to 170 cm (49 to 67 in) in length, this large swan is wholly white in plumage with an orange beak bordered with black. It is recognisable by its pronounced knob atop the beak, which is larger in males.
