A somewhat different take on Windows Wednesday :-) A tractor ready for an early shift near Delft.
Happy Windows Wednesday!

I am still only seeing the one Skipper in the back garden. Today it was feasting on a Buttercup.
Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday!

It was interesting watching the female dig a bed out of the snow each time they found a place rest. Here it almost looks like she is teaching the cubs how to make a cozy bed!

Dear all! I'm painfully behind right now due to other commitments. Hopefully I'll be catching up with you all very shortly 💕
Schubert died a bit over 3 years ago in 2017 at almost 15 years old. while weeding and planting today I dug up this polaroid of him from many years ago. dunno when.
it is a sweet memory of a sweet special dog.

One of a pair that were digging for graas seeds while I waited for the steam train this morning. You can see by the mud on its beak that the ground is very wet still.

PETER: (makes strange noises)
aahh...uuhh...pffff...
OLEG: (talks to himself)
What's that noise?
I hope Peter isn't in trouble again.
(Sees Peter standing in a deep hole)
Good heavens, Peter... what are you doing?
PETER:
Ugh... pfff... a... pfff... digging a hole... that ugh... pfff... as you see, Oleg.
OLEG:
But... why? I don't think Mummy Marian will like this.
PETER:
Ugh... pfff... well... Mummy Marian should be happy... pffff... about what I'm doing... pfff. There's... pffff.... a dead fly on the pffff... windowsill in the kitchen for a long time now. That's .... dis..dis..ou..... err.... pff.. not nice of her. I'm going to bury it now... pfff... in the... pfff... garden.
OLEG:
You're doing well, Peter, but you can't say that Mummy Marian isn't nice. She's busy as a grandmother with baby Rune.
PETER: (crying)
Sniff... I mean... sniff... it's not that I don't like Mummy Marian, Oleg... sniff...
I just feel so sorry for the fly... sniff...and...and...sniff...it deserves to be...sniff buried...sniff.
OLEG:
Don't cry, Peter...I know you mean well.
Come on, I'll help you bury the fly.
PETER:
Oleg... Would you like to make a wooden cross for the grave?
OLEG:
Well... um... I'll see what I can do.
PETER:
Thank you, Oleg (gives Oleg a snuffly kiss).

This Brunfelsia bloom is proving very popular with Orange Palm Dart Butterflies : this morning, after a heavy shower, this Skipper danced on the flower for quite some time, giving me lots of opportunities to capture him under many different angles. I found this pose aesthetic as well as amusing.
