The sun was about to rise on this early spring morning at Windsor, Ontario’s Blue Heron Park. The dawn sky had been incredible, as I got down into the tall grasses by the side of the pond. These remnant grasses, from the previous season, were still stretching to the sky, as another new day began.
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a blue day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Looking Close on Friday is Clothing Labels.
We all know by now the importance of « stretching » in our lives. After spending the last few months (years ??) working from home, and having daily panoramic walks between my kitchen and living room: I’m definitely in need of stretch clothes ! No wonder that this tiny « stretch » label is one of my favorite right now. But in my case, during the pandemic, « stretch » label applies not only for clothes but for many, many other things… I need to stretch my patience very, very often. I have to stetech our budget...I have to stretch my body after sitting on my not so ergonomic chair for long hours… I have to somehow stretch the time between my working hours and my house chores hours… So I’m pretty much sure that this tiny « stretch » label will be very useful for the next year…
Who else has to stretch something ?
Have a beautiful day ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
Lu, the neighbour showing us how good a full stretch is but she also was ensuring that I would be won over and wouldn’t shush her out of the garden and it worked. I just laughed out loud.

Giving the tele-lens a bit of a work out, Colas 'Shed' 66847 hauls the 2.40pm Ribblehead - Chirk Kronospan logs (6V37) through a sunny Frodsham, one early summer's evening in 2014.
The line seemingly disappears beyond the end of the train, but in fact it tops out for the viaduct (which the train is crossing) over the River Weaver. The heat-haze from the exhaust is pretty evident.
Rework of an upload that falls well below current QC specs, and now deleted. Comments off for this one, thanks.

Thank you for visiting. I appreciate the faves and kind comments very much.
This snowy owl is starting the new year off right by doing its stretches. My first photo of 2021 :-)!
Always find it remarkable how tall they can become when properly motivated. Honestly it looks like a bowling pin with eyes and a beak to me :))

It will be a while before it is Easter, but Easterbear is already in the Netherlands. He visits a good friend: Ballet dancer Piggolina Ballerina.
PIGGOLINA BALLERINA:
How nice to see you again Easter Bear. It's been a year since we've spoken. You look good.
EASTER BEAR:
Thank you Piggolina. You're looking good too.
PIGGOLINA BALLERINA:
I'm just really busy you know. Soon I will have a ballet performance with the famous Scoutlova. I practise 6 hours every day.
EASTER BEAR:
Can you show some of your exercises?
PIGGOLINA BALLERINA:
I'll show you the splits.
EASTER BEAR:
Wow! How do you do that?
PIGGOLINA BALLERINA:
It's just stretch into splits
EASTER BEAR: (trying the splits....only half way)
Ouch....help Piggolina....I can't go any further.
PIGGOLINA BALLERINA:
Come...give me your paw....I'll pull you up.
Let's go for a drink...that seems more sensible to me.
EASTER BEAR:
I will never do this again!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only one of the chicks visible today, but lots of chatter in the reeds.
Cats have a gymnastic repertoire of stretching poses each with its unique charm and purpose.
Masters of non-verbal communication, the majority of their intra-species communication is non-verbal, and stretching is one of their subtle ways of expressing affection and strengthening the bond.
