Spyder resting his weary head on a bed of wooly throws. Posted for Happy Caturday’s theme of cats and fabric.
When I see this photo I can’t help but think of the California Stars song by Billy Bragg and Wilco which goes like this...
🎶 I’d like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I’d like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars🎶
I saw someone else's post of a Hummingbird and I just had to go back a little while when it was warm. Here a female Ruby-throated Hummingbird is taking a little rest on a Salvia in my backyard.

American Avocets are rare to uncommon migrants here in New Jersey, usually appearing in August or September. However, this small flock appeared at the Forsythe NWR in July. I tired several times to get a group shot, but they were usually way out in the water feeding or blocked from view by marsh grass. This was the one chance I had to photograph them but they were resting, eyes closed and bills tucked into their chests. There were also Short-billed Dowitchers feeding all around them. And so I waited and waited, sweating in the summer heat and being attacked by biting flies and mosquitos. All to get this one shot!
We had extremely dense fog the entire morning and into the early afternoon a few days ago - an uncommon event around here. About 1 pm, a tiny bit of sunlight started to break through as the fog finally began to clear. Believe it or not, once the fog moved out, it was completely clear and cloudless the entire rest of the day, staying true to the all-over-the-place weather of the Texas Panhandle.

A Red-shank (Tringa totanus) was found resting on its one leg with a typical posture of the shank species in its natural habitat. I love the green Bokeh transformation in the backdrop and the blurring gradient of the depth of field which gives a glimpse of everything surrounding. The bird really stands out against such ambience. It was taking a short rest in between its foraging. Pics was taken from Purbasthali, Burdwan, West Bengal, India.
European Wasp (Vespula germanica)
It had been flying around me when it decided to take a rest on an Ivy leaf.

This is the first swallow I met this spring. Swallows are back and they are now building their nests with mud and hay. This one is taking a rest, from its work. Notice the beak (its tool for the constructions) covered with mud.

HMS Justice (W-140), a Royal Navy ship classified as a rescue tug, was built in the United States as U.S. Navy ATR-1-class rescue tug USS ATR-20. Never commissioned into the U.S. Navy, she was transferred to the Royal Navy under Lend-Lease at delivery. Returned to the U.S. after the end of World War II, she was redesignated BATR-20. Struck and sold for commercial service in 1946 and renamed Saint Christopher, she was abandoned and grounded in Ushuaia, Argentina.
Operational history
ATR-20 was laid down by Camden Shipbuilding & Marine Railway Co., Camden, Maine, 20 January 1943; launched 18 October 1943; sponsored by Miss Joy D. Creyk; transferred to the United Kingdom under lendlease 24 April 1944; and commissioned as HMS Justice at Boston, Massachusetts, the same day, Lt. J. S. Allison, RNR, in command.
During the remainder of World War II, Justice served as a rescue tug in the Royal Navy. She reportedly served at the Normandy invasion in June 1944.
Justice was returned to the U.S. Navy on 20 March 1946 and redesignated BATR-20. She was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 3 July 1946 and sold 3 October 1947 to Leopoldo Simoncini of Buenos Aires as the Costa Rican-flagged St. Christopher. In 1953 she was chartered for salvage operations in Beagle Channel on the sunken Hamburg South America Line ocean liner SS Monte Cervantes along with several Argentine Navy vessels.
After suffering engine trouble and rudder damage in 1954, she was laid up at Ushuaia, Argentina. She was beached and abandoned there in 1957, and, in 2004, had her remaining fuel oil removed.
St. Christopher is still grounded and abandoned at Ushuaia bay.
A big thank you to Bill Correll for giving me the coordinates to this place that rests deep within the Beezley Hills of Grant County, Washington. This place is impossible to see from any roads. I thought it was a very neat old house, settled in a very precarious place. What surprised me even more was that it had a nice foundation which would have been a real buggar to get concrete down there to mix. Most places this old are just built right on the dirt. I'm glad I made it out there, even in the snow. It was quite the walk, 2 miles in and 2 miles back out!
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.
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 !!
Rest your love by the trees
Lips are kissed by the breeze
Hands are held, very tight
As the sun, shines down bright
On the path, under the trees
Lips are kissed, your love you squeeze
Beauty fills your every sight
Rest sweetheart, lets love all night

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.

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...
Around 930am this morning I looked out the back window and saw this fox resting at the back edge of the yard. I have seen her off and on in the past year but have not been able to get any good images of her since this past Spring/Summer. These were taken through glass out the back garage door.
