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.

I spotted this osprey sleeping in a tree. Waited for it to take off, and after it woke up, it made some moves that I thought were leading to flight, but turned out were just stretching. Oh, well, maybe another day!

I could not resist posting one more photo of a Female Goldfinch gathering fluff for her nest. The females are still hard at work even though it seems they have been doing it for weeks. They really must be creating the deluxe version of their nests this year :)

STIRATINA

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.

This long term exposure (300 sec.) has been taken at the very beginning of the sunrise. A pure moment of peacefulness on a very still lake with no wind.

This image was captured as the beautiful white throated male mountain gem was in the process of stretching . This is a species that is often seen in the gardens near Savegre in Costa Rica . They are vibrant and feisty little hummingbirds and always a thrill to see.

Wishing you all a wonderful and blessed July 4th !!

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature…the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”

― Rachel Carson, Silent Spring

These 60+ degree February days in Indiana have me holding my breath for spring that is just around the corner.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!
