This juvenile Eared Grebe gave me a great show flapping and stretching. Perhaps he was exercising his wings for the long flight south for his winter vacation. Taken at Weed Lake, east of Calgary, Alberta. I will catch up with everyone later.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
I've never seen a fish bigger than a match stick in this stream ... but the little one was very persistent :D
I find it particularly interesting just how sensitive our cognition is to shapes. All we need do in this case is to see a silhouette, and we know it is a tree. More experience informs the brain this is also an Arbutus tree. I will not belabour the point regarding the psychology behind recognition, rather acknowledge its presence.
Next time you are out on some small adventure, or even a walk through a different place, take note of your amazing ability to recognize shapes for what they are. Perhaps it is a trek through a forest, or a place you have not previously visited. Try photographing shapes in favour of other elements like composition, color, and texture. It can be a fun photographic exercise.
As I looked upon the squirrel in utter disbelief, he began to explain to me that the latest craze in staying slim and in top shape is to exercise while eating. Yes, apparently Californians have nothing on him with their stationary surfboards that are mounted on elaborate spring systems that move while you are trying to maintain your balance as you are doing your exercise routine on the board. He has taken it to a whole new level. To say the least, I was somewhat skeptical at first but then he took me thru his whole routine and I began to see the merit in this approach. I had actually wondered for some time how he managed to stay so slim while cleaning me out of my supply of peanuts. The benefits of this approach are obviously manifold, the one, being easy on your pocketbook while avoiding all those costs for fancy equipment and spa charges, immediately impressing me. There may be some setbacks to this such as doing your routine while in a restaurant trying to impress your date may cause some raised eyebrows and end the date prematurely. But as you play your favorite exercise song really loudly so that the rest of the patrons can get into the spirit of this slimness craze, you may be surprised (really surprised) at the reaction and results. So, here to help us get us into the spirit of moving is my favorite exercise song …
Cat Exercise Leo was going to start weight training, liked the bench and decided to nap there instead, shot in North Carolina.
the orb weaver spiders have constructed millions of small webs on the mountain..hoping to catch what few insects are still active...mostly they are capturing bubbles of dew...

From a few years ago when we were exercising the ghosts and old paint from an early 1900’s house restoration.

The Retina IIa adds so much atmosphere especially when it’s an underexposed and slightly out of focus negative.

When our Great Aunt Addie died, I inherited her desk, the desk drawers were full of her bits and pieces. Amongst them was a pile of exercise books all of which were crammed with cuttings and jottings that she had collected over the years. Of course I still have them and this is one of those books. I have included a couple of hints and tips. I have no idea if they might work as I've not been brave enough to try them. I doubt if tammalite is still available but you can still buy Bay Rum.

Remember your social distancing. Ruby-throated Hummingbird meets a Honey Bee in flight. Now if I could just get them to wear face masks.
Thanks to the government for our 1 hour exercise.
Following strict distancing guidelines throughout.
Be safe & well good people.

Not to sound too defensive, but please know that this was a completely staged shot. I certainly do not work out as often as I should, but I never use my exercise bike as a wardrobe. However, that being the cliché, I could not resist the portrayal for today’s photo.

This is on my playlist of workout songs. It has a great rhythm for bicycling!
