Bombylius major (Große Wollschweber, arge bee-fly) on Orchis mascula ssp. speciosa. fortunately, this fly took at long rest, letting me plenty of time to focus manually.
God pours life into death and death into life without a drop being spilled.
A brave and strong woman was taken from us yesterday.. so young at just 32, and taken by the wrath of cancer.
Her personality was bubbly, friendly and never once did she complain about the curse bestowed upon her.. her fight and resolve is an inspiration to me, and she'll be sorely missed.
Rest in Peace Deedee Fadoodle.
Pensée du jour :
Ne pleure pas parce que c’est fini, souris plutôt parce que c’est arrivé.
-Do not cry because it is finished, smile rather because it arrived.
-Weine nicht, weil das beendet ist, lächle lieber zu, weil das angekommen ist.
-Non piangere perché questo è finito, topo piuttosto perché questo è arrivato.
Paisible soirée sur le lac de Pelleautier. Alors que la joue lumineuse du ciel se fait timide et rosit tendrement, quelques herbes aquatiques rampent et s'assoupissent sur l'étendue calme comme un souvenir de bonheur.
This Little Pied Cormorant was resting in between a very successful diving for breakfast. We saw this bird and another for much of the morning and with several fairly large fish! Geelong Waterfront near Cunningham Pier HWW :))
This common wood pigeon (columba palumbus) had just expended a lot of energy in mating with its partner - time for a rest!!! Photographed in Great Horwood, Buckinghamshire, England.
A hammock showed up one day on the rivers edge, it was there about a week and then disappeared just as quick. Never saw it occupied, but it would have been a great place to rest a few.
Etta is doing plenty of resting after having some lumps removed. The coat is an attempt to stop her licking the wounds.
allein an einem beliebten Wanderziel kommt nicht oft vor, aber die Hütte auf der Kalmit war wegen der Pandemie geschlossen und es war sehr windig und kalt.
alone at a popular hiking destination does not happen often, but the hut on the Kalmit was closed because of the pandemic and it was very windy and cold.
Letting my '92 Wrangler cool down a bit while I stretch my legs and capture some photons.
It's not that pretty anymore; this pic was taken shortly after I bought it about 12 years ago. It's considerably dirtier now, and the cover isn't as tight.
Not the normal place that I would see a Blue Heron. He is normally in one of the ponds not 100 feet from where he is now. He must be catching a few ZZZ's before he starts his food hunt again. The focus these birds have while they hunt is amazing.
My mother passed away after a long illness. Have not had much time for photography.
I'll get caught up with everyone at some point.
Thanks for stopping by.
At Rest
Where the bluebell carpet lies
Under green and silver trees,
Yellow primrose clusters guard
The place that no one sees.
Echoes of a gentler age
Now remote from days and hours,
This is where I visit you
Resting fragranced by the flowers.
Where the woodland hides your grave
Sunlit, stirring in the breeze,
Silver ash watch over you
As you rest among the trees.

A cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) rests in the shade of the large cheetah habitat at the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center near Glen Rose Texas.
Fossil Rim has played an important role in the conservation of cheetahs since 1986 when the first litter of babies was born. As of 2018, more than 195 cubs have been born in their Cheetah Breeding Program. Breeding success has been historically difficult in the captive population.
Fossil Rim has diligently worked to provide a comfortable, stimulating living environment, multiple mate choices (especially important for cheetah females), a varied diet, large enclosures and the least amount of stress possible. Fossil Rim has two cheetah areas that combined can house about 25 cats. This photo was taken on the edge of one of those enclosures.

Happy Easter !
Finding a suitable option for today proved to be a difficult task. So resting is what I’ve come up with. Where will you find rest this Easter Sunday?

After the battles are over,
And the war drums cease to beat,
And no more is heard on the hillside
The sound of hurrying feet;
Full many a noble action,
That was done in the days of strife,
By the soldier is half forgotten,
In the peaceful walks of life.
Just as the tangled grasses,
In Summer's warmth and light,
Grow over the graves of the fallen
And hide them away from sight,
So many an act of valour,
And many a deed sublime,
Fade from the mind of the soldier,
O'ergrown by the grass of time.
Not so should they be rewarded,
Those noble deeds of old;
They should live for ever and ever,
When the heroes' hearts are cold.
Then rally, ye brave old comrades,
Old veterans, reunite!
Uproot Time's tangled grasses---
Live over the march, and the fight.
- Ella Wheeler Wilcox
