Who needs paddock-mates when you've got a view like this?
After three days of wind and rain (and a few other unmentionables), it was nice to wake up to a clear, calm morning and rediscover that Mt Taranaki does indeed still exist.
La vita è un cammino lungo il quale cresciamo, incontriamo degli ostacoli, lottiamo per raggiungere i nostri sogni e diventiamo più saggi andando tutti verso una stessa direzione. La nostra permanenza è limitata, ma non per questo dobbiamo vivere passivamente oppressi dal nostro destino. Al contrario, dobbiamo cercare di trarre tutto il meglio dall’esistenza.
C’è chi viaggia per perdersi, c’è chi viaggia per trovarsi.
(Gesualdo Bufalino)
Life is a path along which we grow, we encounter obstacles, we struggle to achieve our dreams and we become wiser by all going in the same direction. Our stay is limited, but this does not mean we must live passively oppressed by our destiny. On the contrary, we must try to get the best out of existence.
There are those who travel to get lost, there are those who travel to find themselves.
(Gesualdo Bufalino)

Listening to Carole King today… another old Rocker that’s made beautiful music for a number of years.
Carole King is an American singer, songwriter, and musician who has been active since 1958. King has made 25 solo albums, the most successful being Tapestry, which held the record for most weeks at No. 1 by a female artist for more than 20 years.
Her record sales were estimated at more than 75 million copies worldwide. She has won four Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She has been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a performer and songwriter.

The Hooded Merganser:
Spotted this Female Hooded Merganser Strutting Her Stuff after finishing a breakfast of Frog Legs alfresco. The legs were still attached to the frog, so it took her awhile to dine, but she seems to have had a Happy Ending : )
Hooded Mergansers are fairly common on small ponds and rivers, where they dive for fish, crayfish, and other food, seizing it in their thin, serrated bills. They find their prey underwater by sight. They can actually change the refractive properties of their eyes to improve their underwater vision. In addition, they have an extra eyelid, called a “nictitating membrane,” which is transparent and helps protect the eye during swimming, like a pair of goggles.
Hooded Merganser ducklings leave their nest cavity within 24 hours of hatching. First, their mother checks the area around the nest and calls to the nestlings from ground level. From inside the nest, the little fluffballs scramble up to the entrance hole and then flutter to the ground, which may be 50 feet or more below them. In some cases, they have to walk half a mile or more with their mother to the nearest body of water.
The oldest recorded Hooded Merganser was a male and at least 14 years, 6 months old when he was shot in Mississippi in 2009. He had been banded in Minnesota in 1995.

We saw this big horn sheep as we were approaching the Logan Pass on Going to the Sun Road. My husband noticed a herd grazing on the field below the parking lot. They were just hanging out and people were taking pictures. Luckily, no one was that close and gave the sheep plenty of distance. I used my 75-300 lens to get a close up.
Who would think a rose so sweet Would dry and crumble at the feet And blooms that scent the night and day Would steal a heart, then fade away
Seen you from afar
Wondered who you are
Wondered what you're like
Think you're just my type
And now I'm dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, of you
And now I'm dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, of you
Want you, yes I do
Bet you never knew it
Think you'd suit me fine
Want you all the time
Colour the empty space
Kiss in a crowded place
Stand in the summer rain
Tangled in awkward shapes
A new, but familiar taste
You're feeling it all again
Footprints along the sand
Whispers of sweet romance
Sound of a wedding band
Holding hands in the street
No need to be discreet
Finally feeling free
The universe has pulled us closer
I trust whatever's brought me here to you
You can never lose
If love is what you feel then
It's not wrong
To want the world for someone
It's not a feeling you can run from
'Cause we love who we love
So let go
You don't know better than your heart knows
Whether they're here or long gone
We love

Southern Boobook (Ninox novaeseelandiae)
This Boobook (Owl) visited the Heathdale - Glen Orden Wetlands on this day in 2018. The Southern Boobook is the smallest and most commonly seen owl in Australia.
After 5 weeks, I am back at the park with my beloved squirrels. I'm not sure who this is. It might be P. Diddy :D (Squirrels-2021-6180.jpg)
Have a great week guys.Thanks for comments and faves.

The Tower Grove Park owlets were out and visible during my visit. Many thanks to another birder who generously shared their location.
anyone birders know this breed? It was in Tenby Wales. Update been told it's a rock pipit. Feel free to tell me if it's not
Anyone who has hiked to Devil's Bridge in Sedona, Arizona knows that this image is something of a feat. The Bridge is one of the most popular hikes in Sedona and typically very crowded (as it was this day).
The 5' wide, 45' long and 54' high sandstone arch (created by wind and weather erosion vice flowing water, which creates natural bridges) is the tallest in the Sedona region. The trail is not particularly strenuous, but it does start at 4400' and climb to 4900'. Parking near the trailhead is often jammed, and the road is really suitable only for 4WD vehicles. We hiked the Mescal and Chuckwagon Trails to the trailhead and enjoyed a spectacular spring day.
Must be able to show my nice experience although the picture has not been so good quality
A crane was surprised by a fox. It ended with the fox had to run back into the woods. No one was hurt

Taken a few years ago. We used to pass her standing at the gate of an isolated house in the Forest. Not sure whether she was meant to be a guard dog, but if she was, she obviously never got the memo, as she was always happy to see me

I took this photo in 2017 and recently discovered it in one of my old batches. Can you help identify it?
