This osprey came in close as it turned filling the frame. Worth viewing large to take in all those patterns and details.

Impressions from my first trip to Helgoland
“There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”

Day by day, as seasons pass, we each spread our light.
Some shine from bright places with petals freshly unfurled,
while others glow softly, from the dark, with petals torn and burned.
From wherever we may come; to wherever we may go,
We each have our special place to spread our light and grow.
Sharing a simple rose from my garden that was spreading it's light to the refreshing rain while waiting for the sunset. I felt that monochrome best captured the atmosphere of the moment. I'll post a later shot in color a bit down the road. Wishing everyone a great day ahead. Thanks for the favs and kind comments. They are much appreciated!
If the wild bird could speak
She'd tell of places you had been
She's been in my dreams
And she knows all the ways of the wind

Close-up framing of a Western Reef Heron in flight with its wings outstretched over the sea. Also known as the Western Reef Egret, it has a long pointed beak and yellowish feet, which are visible as it flies.
The bird's flight creates a sense of motion blur visible in its wings and the background water.
Wings allow birds and other creatures to soar above limitations, symbolizing the ability to break free from constraints and explore new horizons.

For my niece... I hope you spread your wings and you start to work on your adult life plans. The world is out there waiting for you, and a strong young woman like you can take to the sky with no limits.
The sun was about to dip below the horizon on this first evening of the Lunar Year of Snake...
Happy Lunar New Year to those who celebrate it; may the Snake bring you bountiful of joy and happiness!
A juvenile bald eagle flies by.
Wikipedia: The plumage of the immature (bald eagle) is a dark brown overlaid with messy white streaking until the fifth (rarely fourth, very rarely third) year, when it reaches sexual maturity.
Earth Star Fungus (Geastrum triplex)
In the craziness yesterday I forgot to get a photo of the Earthstar, this is how it looks today.
Wikipedia states..."Chives, (scientific name...Schoenoprasum), is an edible species of the genus Allium. Its close relatives include the garlic, shallot, leek, scallion, and Chinese onion."
What I know about this beautiful plant is that the bees love to traverse the hills and valleys of this flower. Once the bloom has faded, you'll find tiny black seeds inside the folds of each blossom. What a great way to spread the wealth. Life is wonderful that way!
Unlike this year, the ice was melting off the lakes to welcome
the waterfowl migrating back.
The waterfowl are arriving to ice on lakes and flooding in fields or fields still covered in snow in April of this year.
In a flood watch/warning for the next two weeks
It has turned much colder for the weekend with
chances of freezing rain and snow mix.
On the news last night, they showed a heron on a lake that was frozen with thick ice and it did not look happy.
Geese and swans have been flying over the house almost daily but for mating and nesting with weather and flooding not sure many offspring will survive.
Recent photos I have all have snow so went to my archives
today.
Under the trees enjoy the x
Grab the branches and undress
Dance between the spreading trees
Feel the seeds on the breeze
Coating the beauty, under your dress
As among the trees, we enjoy the x
Another shot from last weekend before the clouds started to spread out.
Hope you are having a good weekend so far.
A magical few minutes on top of Pen y fan in the Brecon Beacons, when the overriding colour was grey. This was one of the few places where the tripod wasn't blown over, so the tranquil looking ridge curving round to Cribyn, was far from it. I'm off down the beach again today, after a cultural day in Bath yesterday. Love spreads is by The Stone Roses, and I love winter so it's fine.
...you have them not without reason :)
