Sometimes you;re on a beach looking for the picture that shows how big these rocks are,
And there they where ,I didn't think just shoot......and this is the shot!...And I still love this picture....
Looking a little bit tacky here but this Robin is over two years old now which is a good age for a Robin. Always hanging around in the same area in one of my nature reserves I often go to visit. Ever since I first spotted this as a juvenile there has always been a dark patch below the right eye that is still there to this day. My little friend here has become very tame and always so very photogenic and hopefully will be around a bit longer yet. In the 1400's when the Robin was named the colour orange had not been classified and this is why we say that the Robin has a red breast and not orange. America has an eagle so it's about time the UK had the Robin as its national bird !!!!!!

Little Egret - Egretta garzetta
The little egret (Egretta garzetta) is a species of small heron in the family Ardeidae. The genus name comes from the Provençal French Aigrette, egret a diminutive of Aigron, heron. The species epithet garzetta is from the Italian name for this bird, garzetta or sgarzetta.
It is a white bird with a slender black beak, long black legs and, in the western race, yellow feet. As an aquatic bird, it feeds in shallow water and on land, consuming a variety of small creatures. It breeds colonially, often with other species of water birds, making a platform nest of sticks in a tree, bush or reed bed. A clutch of bluish-green eggs is laid and incubated by both parents. The young fledge at about six weeks of age.
Its breeding distribution is in wetlands in warm temperate to tropical parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. A successful colonist, its range has gradually expanded north, with stable and self-sustaining populations now present in the United Kingdom.
It first appeared in the UK in significant numbers in 1989 and first bred in Dorset in 1996
In warmer locations, most birds are permanent residents; northern populations, including many European birds, migrate to Africa and southern Asia to over-winter there. The birds may also wander north in late summer after the breeding season, and their tendency to disperse may have assisted in the recent expansion of the bird's range. At one time common in Western Europe, it was hunted extensively in the 19th century to provide plumes for the decoration of hats and became locally extinct in northwestern Europe and scarce in the south. Around 1950, conservation laws were introduced in southern Europe to protect the species and their numbers began to increase. By the beginning of the 21st century the bird was breeding again in France, the Netherlands, Ireland and Britain. It has also begun to colonise the New World; it was first seen in Barbados in 1954 and first bred there in 1994. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed the bird's global conservation status as being of least concern..

will be away for a bit.... don't know if there is internet access... oh well.... sometimes life takes a different turn than planned....
The peony might have been losing its petals, but that doesn't mean that it's not beautiful. Happy Monday!
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're all greatly appreciated. Have a great day and new week!
The origin of these "pearls of nature" is a miracle. As I looked more closely at the ground, I saw a small blade of grass that was slightly higher than the others. For this reason, I was able to take my camera closer to the object and take this detail bigger. I was fascinated when I could look at this little wonder of nature at home.
While I was photographed, the sunrays warmed the ice crystals on the grasshammer so that they just slid down the stalk, when I finished with photography. What a wonderful experience that fascinated me once again and I could learn from nature.
This picture shows me both sides of the winter. The first is cold and somehow fancinating, the second shows me that the cold of the wafting sun has to give way. At least in the spring, when the life awakens again.
I am happy to share this here with you.
Enjoy everybody and a wonderful weekend to all of you.
Thank you for all your sympathy for my pictures here and the dear comments, which always give me great pleasure.
Have a wonderful time in the nature.

Just one minute after the last photo I posted I got this one..My favourite of the day...so far!
As I took so many photographs of this amazing juvenile, It will take ages to process and tomorrow have a macro day... even more to process.
This high dynamic range photo taken near Zion's river, the Virgin River, was the hardest to take and later blend. Let me know you thoughts on this photo.
Coming of age,
This is the year finally I will transplant my seedling,
Its been growing next to the Mother Japanese Bloodgood for 8 years, 5 years ago the Mother tree started to die on me, I will not be able to replace that beautiful tree but I will have its offspring.
Took this shot sitting in the kitchen only few feet away 10 minutes ago.
