This image is based on a photo that I took in Wales at the Welsh National Slate Mine Museum at Gilfach Ddu. They were hanging on hooks in the break room, and they seemed poignant to me somehow. Symbols of hard working souls who labored all their lives to earn a living with little recompense.

"The thing about a hero, is even when it doesn't look like there is a light at the end of the tunnel, he's going to keep digging, he's going to keep trying to do right and make up for what's gone before, just because that's who he is." ~ Joss Whedon

Long-billed Corella (Cacatua tenuirostris)

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.

Hello Everyone,

I wonder how much time it takes for gulls to preen themselves everyday, it's probably substantial. If they're not preening, gulls are bickering with one another or trying to grab each other's meal! I really do get a kick out watching them.

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving a comment. I do love hearing from you!

Have a fantastic day!

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).

European Honey Bee (Apis mellifera)

Apart from the Bees working the Jade Plant and Daisies there are not too many other insects around at the moment.

Happy Wing Wednesday!

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.

was told there was gold
