Its springtime again. That means Sandhill Cranes! I need to finish my story from last year. So this is my solution to speed things along.
As I left off, the firstborn Sandhill colt was enjoying life as an only child.
The nest was very far away.. Glad for the birds, they had their space away from humans. But it made getting photos very difficult.
Thank you to all for your kind comments, invites & faves, much appreciated

Jeremiah 31:1-3
At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
2 Thus saith the Lord, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

And to Yeshua

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

I did not take this capture of me, I gave my camera to my daughter Katy, and showed her what to do, and this is the result. Which I am very pleased to be holding my Grandson Alfie, and thanking my dear daughter, for not dropping my camera!
Now you can see me, in full-frame of what this Freaked Out photographer, looks like here, thanks to my daughter. I am now nearly 68 years old and well pleased for my daughter Katy and Michael (Son-in-Law soon to be) of their firstborn child, that weighed in at 8 lb 2 ozs at birth.
I did wear a face mask, when holding my Grandson. But my daughter, for this capture, told me, to take it off!
Now be looking forward in the next few months to come, of taking cool captures of Alfie, when he, his more active and moving about for them!

They say I'm a rebel soul
Bad to the bone, always ready to go
Everybody wants to wear the crown
I keep lining 'em up I keep knocking 'em down
I am exactly what they say I am
I stand for everything that they can't stand
I can't help it, I was born this way
But when I'm gone you'll remember my name
I am exactly who they say I am

A firstborn son with absolutely no penchant for falling in line, it was no secret that he was a horrible disappointment to his father, the King. Equally so to every Court Lady who imagined they might have an icicle's chance in Dante's Hell with him. No matter their flirtations, their attempts, their less than veiled interests, not one managed to turn the Prince's head in the way they desired.
The visiting Duke from Denmark, however...
...Let's just say some fairy's tails prefer to get pounded into a very specific happily ever after.

January is the first month of the year, in fact, the firstborn of nature.
The rich blue of the sky, the winter forest is wrapped in snow. And the snow fell on the branches of the sleepy spruces...
Covering them with a white blanket,
And the winter wind, how insufferable it is,
Trying to shake them off wearily...
Winter is a bliss and a delight for some,
To others only blizzards, ice and cold,
The forest has long been waiting for such a snowfall
After all, no matter what you say, and snow is needed there.
Under the snow and cozier and warmer,
Though it is inconvenient to walk on the snow,
And the forest under the snow is cleaner and more familiar,
And the branches of the fir trees are simply incomparable!
It may not be the actual first born grebe baby but it was the first time I caught a feeding by daddy. This was before he started catching fish for the babies.

This fine relief of Thutmose III probably came from his valley temple. He also constructed a mortuary temple against the cliffs of Deir el-Bahri at Thebes adjacent to that of Hatshepsut, with whom he shared the kingship for part of his reign. It shows the king wearing the khat headcloth with a very menacing coiled uraeus on his brow.
The fragment was found reused in a Ramesside temple on the same site as Thutmose's valley temple.
***
Thutmose III was the sixth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty. Officially, Thutmose III ruled Egypt for almost 54 years and his reign is usually dated from 24 April 1479 BC to 11 March 1425 BC, from the age of two and until his death at age fifty-six; however, during the first 22 years of his reign, he was coregent with his stepmother and aunt, Hatshepsut, who was named the pharaoh. While he was shown first on surviving monuments, both were assigned the usual royal names and insignia and neither is given any obvious seniority over the other. Thutmose served as the head of Hatshepsut's armies. During the final two years of his reign, he appointed his son and successor, Amenhotep II, as his junior co-regent. His firstborn son and heir to the throne, Amenemhat, predeceased Thutmose III.
Becoming the sole ruling pharaoh of the kingdom after the deaths of Thutmose II and Hatshepsut, he created the largest empire Egypt had ever seen; no fewer than 17 campaigns were conducted and he conquered lands from the Niya Kingdom in northern Syria to the Fourth Cataract of the Nile in Nubia.
When Thutmose III died, he was buried in the Valley of the Kings, as were the rest of the kings from this period in Egypt.

The Wood Duck is one of the most stunningly pretty of all waterfowl. Males are iridescent chestnut and green, with ornate patterns on nearly every feather; the elegant females have a distinctive profile and delicate white pattern around the eye. These birds live in wooded swamps, where they nest in holes in trees or in nest boxes put up around lake margins. They are one of the few duck species equipped with strong claws that can grip bark and perch on branches.

My grandfather drove a Buick in the mid-1950's that looked a lot like this one. At the time, I was the firstborn and only grandchild in the family, and I was just learning to talk. Whenever my grandfather would drive up in his Buick, swing open the huge door, step out with a grin on his face, and stick out his arms as he walked in my direction, I would immediately return his grin, throw out my arms, point towards the Buick and say "Pokerpack". No one ever knew where Pokerpack came from, but it was my name for my grandfather's big Buick.
Last night, this grandfather was on his way to his grandson's basketball game, and what did I see out of the corner of my eye? Pokerpack. Without hesitation. Pokerpack.
After I made this photograph, I was back in the front seat of my car, loading my camera into my camera bag, and I caught a glance of my face in the mirror. I saw a grandfather. I whispered "Pokerpack" out loud and immediately felt silly because I was the only one in the car. But a heart filled with fond memories of what it means to be a grandfather quickly reminded me that the wheel of life, much like the wheels on these old Buicks, keeps turning round and round, making grandfathers out of the smallest of little boys.

Track renovation works on the Würzburg - Hannover high-speed line last summer allowed long-distance trains to run again on the old route, as in the case of this ICE 1, the firstborn of the InterCityExpress family, which crosses Gemünden am Main northbound.
A big hello and hug to my friends. This is not a focused shot but love the bouncy bokeh.

SD27 Charles & Margaret O’Neail Residence, circa 1861 (Designated)
899 Keg Lane Rd.(County Road 52), Brant
This 1 1/2 storey Regency-style house with rare four cobble stone walls was built for Charles by his father Daniel O’Neail who came to Canada from Ireland in 1830. Mr. O’Neail was the first President of the Paris Agricultural Society and his firstborn, Charles, also served as President in 1870 and in 1880. The O’Neails gave the southwest corner of their property for the building of Keg Lane School in 1868.
In the Ancient Greek religion, Hestia (/ˈhɛstiə, ˈhɛstʃə/; Greek: Ἑστία, "hearth" or "fireside") is the virgin goddess of the hearth, the right ordering of domesticity, the family, the home, and the state. In Greek mythology, she is the eldest daughter and firstborn child of the Titans Cronus and Rhea.
Customarily, in Greek culture, Hestia received the first offering at every sacrifice in the household. In the public domain, the hearth of the prytaneum functioned as her official sanctuary, and, when a new colony was established, a flame from Hestia's public hearth in the mother city would be carried to the new settlement. The goddess Vesta is her Roman equivalent. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hestia)
Sundown on Friday begins the festive Sabbath holiday. This is a cropped photo in my firstborn son’s book “Treasure Of Shabbat” by Jonathan Bressel. It’s available on Amazon. This is the actual ceremony that Rabbi Yeshayah, aka Jesus of Nazareth, celebrated every Friday night of his life. I wish all my Flickr Friends a very good week and a beautiful, peaceful, blessed, and happy Shabbat.
And, Shabbat is the second holiest holiday in the Hebrew calendar and it happens every seven days! Now, how's that for a fun religion...;-)

my brother and SIL's older son, their firstborn, left this world last night way before his time.
as my nephew-in-law said, "...Jimmy was 6’7", pushing 300 lbs, the size of his heart was 100x that. He was and will always be a gentle giant to me."
to all of us.
he was a kind kind man who spent years fighting his demons.
I was lucky to spend an evening chatting on messenger with him around easter, my daughter did the same the next night.
he loved everyone.
to my daughter, he said, "I don't even know you and I love you."
I hope he knows how much he was loved back.
I put his photo with his mom in the comments below.
Lincoln Center fountain dressed up for Pride during the month of June, I captured these yesterday evening and shared with my dearest firstborn as we celebrate how truly wonderful, loved and amazing she is and thought it only right to post as well to show that she has the support and love of her dad.

Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.
To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
Ortygia (/ɔːrˈtɪdʒiə/; Italian: Ortigia; Greek: Ὀρτυγία) is a small island which is the historical centre of the city of Syracuse, Sicily. The island, also known as the Città Vecchia (Old City), contains many historical landmarks. The name originates from the ancient Greek ortyx (ὄρτυξ), which means "Quail".
The Homeric Hymn to Delian Apollo has it that the goddess Leto stopped at Ortygia to give birth to Artemis, the firstborn of her twins. Artemis then helped Leto across the sea to the island of Delos, where Leto gave birth to Apollo. Other ancient sources state that the twins were born in the same place – which was either Delos or Ortygia – but Ortygia, according to Strabo was an old name of Delos. Further, there were perhaps a half-dozen other places called Ortygia, so that the identification is uncertain.
It was also said that Asteria, the sister of Leto, metamorphosed into a quail (Ortyx), threw herself into the sea, and was metamorphosed into the island of Ortygia. Another myth suggested that it was Delos, rather than Ortygia.
Ortygia was the mythological home of Arethusa, a chaste nymph who, while fleeing a river god, was transformed by Artemis into a spring, traversed underground and appeared here, thus providing water for the city. Arethusa and her pursuer, the river god Alpheus, came from Arcadia in Greece.
Ortygia, being an island just off the coast, was easily transformed into a natural fortress with harbors and was big enough that it could hold a significant population in ancient times. Therefore, the history of Ortygia is synonymous with the early history of Syracuse.

El Palacio Real de La Granja de San Ildefonso de 1721 se construyó bajo el reinado del rey Felipe V. Es un magnífico ejemplo de arquitectura palatina europea: un pequeño Versalles. Felipe V se retiró a este lugar en 1724 cuando abdicó de forma inesperada en su hijo Luis, primogénito de su primer matrimonio con María Luisa de Saboya
El conjunto lo conforman el palacio propiamente dicho y una serie de edificios anejos, que dan a aquel una forma de U. Aquí están enterrados el rey Felipe V y su segunda esposa, Isabel de Farnesio.
Desde la construcción del palacio y hasta el reinado de Alfonso XIII, el palacio fue la residencia veraniega de los reyes españoles.
The Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso of 1721 was built under the reign of King Philip V. It is a magnificent example of European palace architecture: a little Versailles. Philip V retired to this place in 1724 when he unexpectedly abdicated to his son Louis, the firstborn of his first marriage to Maria Luisa of Savoy.
The complex is made up of the palace itself and a series of adjoining buildings, which give it a U-shape. King Philip V and his second wife, Isabella of Farnese, are buried here.
From the construction of the palace until the reign of Alfonso XIII, the palace was the summer residence of the Spanish kings.

The morning 7th of February I woke up to see Amsterdam covered in a coat of fresh snow. The snow fell in sudden flurries and gusts and turned the world white and wonderful. With the canals in the city and occasional high winds, there can be a nip in the air, but packing gloves and a scarf should keep you warm enough. There is something very beautiful about Amsterdam in the winter. It snowed for the second time this winter in Amsterdam. Because the temperature was -4 degrees Celsius the snow stayed. The real feel temperature was -11 degrees Celsius cause there was a strong wind and drifting snow. It got more than a few centimeters of snow. The best advice is to stay indoors and turn the stove up a bit. Or of course to go outside to take some nice pictures. The snow is a rare highlight in these February dark days, especially when you have small children. It is quite difficult to come up with something fun in these Covid-19 lock-down days. After a while, sitting indoors becomes quite monotonous for such a toddler. This is a welcome change. The snow also provides a lot of fun for children here in Amsterdam. Snowball fight, make snowmen or go sledding. All fun activities that children do in this beautiful snowy world.
Singelgebied is the name of the second largest red light district in Amsterdam. The Singel is a typical picturesque tree lined Amsterdam canal and you could easily pass through here without even realizing it is a red light district. The windows are mostly occupied by women but it is closed now during the Covid-19 but the red lights are still on. The area is a nice quiet neighbourhood especially during lock-down. Children can now just enjoy sledding. The snow is during the lock-down days an uninhibited winter fun in the streets of Amsterdam. The next days it will keep on snowing. Expected more than 17 cm snow in Amsterdam. Photo taken on the Oude Nieuwstraat just behind the Singelgracht.
Vanmorgen 7 februari werd ik wakker en zag Amsterdam bedekt met een laag verse sneeuw. De sneeuw die vannacht viel bedekte de wereld om ons heen wit en prachtig. Ik heb mijn camera gepakt en op pad gegaan in m'n buurtje. Ik geniet van het geluid van knarsende sneeuw onder mijn schoenen en het prachtige gezicht op de Amsterdamse grachtenpanden. Het is min vier graden en het blijft vandaag de hele dag sneeuwen. Met een stevige wind is de gevoelstemperatuur zelf -11 graden. Mijn handschoenen en m'n sjaal houden mij warm genoeg. Er is iets heel moois over Amsterdam in de winter. Amsterdam is bedolven onder dik pak sneeuw zoals hierboven op de Oude Nieuwstraat . Het beste advies is dan maar om lekker binnen te blijven en de kachel iets hoger te zetten. Of natuurlijk even naar buiten te gaan om wat mooie plaatjes te schieten. In Amsterdam heeft het nu voor de tweede keer deze winter gesneeuwd. Bij deze temperatuur blijft de sneeuw liggen. Er is meer dan enkele centimeters sneeuw gevallen. De sneeuw is een zeldzaam hoogtepunt in deze donkere dagen in februari, vooral als je kleine kinderen hebt. Het is best moeilijk om iets leuks te bedenken in deze Covid-19 lockdown-dagen. Singelgebied is de naam van de op één na grootste rosse buurt van Amsterdam. De Singel is een typisch pittoreske, met bomen omzoomde Amsterdamse gracht en je zou er gemakkelijk doorheen kunnen gaan zonder zelfs maar te beseffen dat het een rosse buurt is. De ramen zijn voornamelijk bezet door vrouwen, maar het is nu gesloten tijdens de Covid-19, maar de rode lichten branden nog steeds. Vooral tijdens lock-down is het gebied een mooie rustige buurt. Kinderen kunnen nu gewoon lekker sleeën. Foto gemaakt op de Oude Nieuwstraat net achter de Singelgracht.
