Time for a little cuteness! Some tiny goslings, by the sea front at Naousa on Paros.

The cottonwood fluff is really something this year. People hate on cottonwood trees these days but honestly I'd rather spend an hour with a cottonwood tree than with most people. Btw, the din of landscaping is the culprit here. I never cease to be amazed at how loud the American suburbs are. They remind me of Athens at rush hour--- just constant noise.. for what it’s worth, Cottonwood Fluff would be my drag name if I had one.

This Pigeon looked quite beautiful, sitting with its feathers puffed up, on a large, metal garbage container. Noticed it when I went with a friend to Bow Lake, Banff National Park, on 29 August 2013.
"A baby pigeon is called a 'squab' or a 'squeaker'. The female is a 'hen' and the male is a 'cock'. A group of pigeons are called a 'kit' or a 'flock'."
It's Good Friday today, the beginning of the Easter weekend. Beautiful, sunny weather would have been nice, especially for working people who get the day off. Instead, it's gloomy and unpleasant, looking like it's going to either rain or snow. Just checked the forecast and it's 1°C (windchill -2°C) this morning, supposedly getting up to 4°C this afternoon, with an 80% chance of rain and snow. Happy Easter weekend to everyone who celebrates! Later: sure enough it snowed all day today.
—Fooled! for the fluff was nothing but a sheath,
with tiny, perfect flowers underneath.

The word fluff comes from a combination of flue and puff. Like a puff of smoke coming out of a chimney flue.

This angelic and fluffy looking creature is my neighbours cat Willow who comes regularly to sit and wait for Bobcat to come out to play............. She is made of tougher stuff than Bob who doesn't like to go out if it means wet paws :D
The common eland is the slowest antelope, with a peak speed of 40 kph that tires them quickly. However, they can maintain a 22 kph trot indefinitely. Elands are capable of jumping up to 2.5 m from a standing start when startled. The common eland's life expectancy is generally between 15 and 20 years. Eland herds are accompanied by a loud clicking sound that has been subject to considerable speculation. It is believed that the weight of the animal causes the two halves of its hooves to splay apart, and the clicking is the result of the hoof snapping together when the animal raises its leg. The sound carries some distance from a herd and may be a form of communication.
