Why birds stand on one leg , I am still trying to work that one out - yes one leg gets a rest , but then the other one gets double the work and has to work harder keeping balance !!
I am also not sure what they are doing with their feather sticking out every which way .
If they do overbalance the landing will be soft - but wet !!
This is a bike, usually busy on the streets each day in Panama City, selling something from that large red basket. Daily survival is a challenge.

Thank you for your views and comments. They are all greatly appreciated.
A Pika rests in the warm morning sun high up above the tree line. Making its home in the jumble of rocks and boulders in the alpine region of the rocky mountains, safety is always a quick dash away under some crevice and away from danger.

I would like to tell everyone who commented, invited, faved or took a look at my creations (paintings), that I am thankful and apreciated.
Take off your shoes, sit on the sand for a while, take a deep breath and smile. There is still a long way to go...
Another shot from my walk on the Cahore Point Trail. Lovely golden beach and a stairs leading up to the trail. A couple wisely taking a rest and enjoying the waves before tackling the climb.

Most often my method is a simple attention to God combined with a general sense of hunger for God. I find myself often attached to God with the great sweetness and delight of an infant at the mother's breast. I hesitate to use the expression, but the inexpressible sweetness which I taste and experience there is as if I were at the bosom of God at all times. Sometimes my thoughts wander away from God by necessity or infirmity. But soon an inner desire brings me back to God. This inward yearning is so delightful and delicious that I am ashamed to describe it.

Get it? Rest your laurels? As in, sit down? But "laurels," you know? Flower? Because it's a garden? Because it's a double entendre?
Times like this, I have to assume I only amuse myself.
A National Trust Windmill on the Isle of Wight.
The ONLY surviving windmill on the Isle of Wight.
Built at the turn of the 18th Century, its sails turned for over two hundred years before finishing its industrial life in 1913.
For me this is an unusual windmill in that it's all bricks & mortar. The windmills local to me in Sussex have a bricks & mortar base, with the rest of the structure being wooden framed.
