Several Canvasbacks have taken up winter residence at one of our regional parks. An uncommon bird, they have been briefly seen the last couple of years. However, this winter they are consistent, males and females. This particular stretch by a male I thought was extraordinary.

Wide-open, indoors, light from the window. As close as I can go with this lens.

...as the farmer eats his sunny side up eggs. His tractor and the harvest warms up to a rising golden sunny morning!

RiseUp_Andra Day

You're broken down and tired

Of living life on a merry go round

And you can't find the fighter

But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out

And move mountains

We gonna walk it out

And move mountains

And I'll rise up

I'll rise like the day

I'll rise up

I'll rise unafraid

I'll rise up

And I'll do it a thousand times again

And I'll rise up

High like the waves

I'll rise up

In spite of the ache

I'll rise up

And I'll do it a thousands times again

For you

For you

For you

For you

When the silence isn't quiet

And it feels like it's getting hard to breathe

And I know you feel like dying

But I promise we'll take the world to its feet

And move mountains

We'll take it to its feet

And move mountains

This is a Stand Up to Cancer pin badge that I have had for many years. I usually have it pinned to my purse.

For this week's theme I have placed it on the 1 inch (1.54cm) neck of a coloured bottle.

HMM!

"Maybe life isn't about avoiding the bruises. Maybe it's about collecting the scars to prove we showed up for it."

One of the greatest weeks of my SL and it all crumbled because I FEEL.

A Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica) close up portrait against a butter smooth backdrop on yellowish green is really the composition to cherish. For a moment it sat on a bamboo twig thinking about its future moves in a delightful posture. Pics was taken from Purbasthali Wetland, West Bengal, India.

As we came near this Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias ) did a vertical take off, up and over the fence and away. Amazing! Happy Fence Friday

This Grote's Buck Moth caterpillar was crossing over our welcome mat. Zoom in and see the incredible details on the skin, besides all the spikey hairs.
