You ain't gotta worry, it's an open invitation
I'll be sittin' right here, real patient
All day, all night, I'll be waitin' standby
Can't stop because I love it, hate the way I love you
All day, all night, maybe I'm addicted for life, no lie
I'm not too shy to show I love you, I got no regrets
I love you much too, much to hide you, this love ain't finished yet
This love ain't finished yet
So baby, whenever you're ready
When you're ready come and get it
Na-na-na-na
When you're ready come and get it
Na-na-na-na
When you're ready
When you're ready come and get it

You got the kind of love that I want, let me get that (let me get that, yeah)
And baby, once I get it, I'm yours, no take-backs
Gon' love you for life, I ain't leaving your side
Even if you knock it, ain't no way to stop it
Forever you're mine, baby I'm addicted, no lie, no lie
I'm not too shy to show I love you, I got no regrets
So baby, whenever you're ready
On this get away, I knew there is only one place to buy food in the National Park, so I cut some sandwiches, packed them in a plastic lunch box, and filled a thermos with coffee. Along the way I found a spot to stop for lunch, which is where I met the modern day descendants of the dinosaurs. Somehow it was appropriate in a landscape that were formed 635 million years ago.
No sooner had I unpacked my lunch and I was swarmed by a flock of Apostle Birds. They crowded around and onto my lunch box and meant to have my sandwiches. When I took one out to eat, they dive bombed me, trying to steal my food. Being a kind person, I shared my lunch, but they really meant to have it all for themselves.
The Apostle Bird (Struthidea cinerea) is a quick-moving, gray or black bird about 33 cm (13") long. It is native to Australia where it lives in woodlands, eating insects and seeds at, or near, ground level. They're also habituated to humans and will happily eat anything a human eats. They often travel in groups of about 12; hence the name Apostle Bird. They're intelligent, gregarious and socially co-operative.
Each group generally containing only one breeding pair, the rest being either their helper offspring, kin or unrelated adult birds. Most group members help construct a mud nest, share in incubation of the eggs, and defense of the nest. Once the eggs are hatched, all members of the group help feed the chicks and keep the nest clean.
Next time I'll pack loaves and fishes to feed the whole Apostle family.

Follow the trees, follow the fences
Let me remove your defences
Let me walk, across your green
Where natural beauty, it is seen
Between your trees and far away
Where i want to walk today
Where i do lay my head
In your wild and untamed bed
As love blows on the breeze
I'll meet you soon, between your trees

I get poison ivy so bad I've been hospitalized so for the first 25 years of my life I didn't venture into the woods very often and I think that is the impetuous of my love affair with nature now during the second half of my life after moving to Washington from Missouri.
I enjoy little scenes like this immensely, indeed, this was early in the hike and still I stood here, smelled the chilled air, listened to the rush of water, the grinding of stones being carried downstream. I think if everyone took the time to do this the world would be a happier place. So open your window, turn on a tap and blow this up. You're welcome. :)
Despite the mixed bag of weather we've been getting lately - and a general feeling that the bird migration has been slowed by the cold nights and a couple of surprise snowfalls - there's no doubt that the spring resurgence of life on the northern prairie is underway. Therefore, over the next few days, we'll look at some signs of spring in and around Grasslands NP.
First up, this Black-tailed Prairie Dog with a mouthful of dried grass. The little rodents have been foraging now for several weeks, replacing fat reserves lost over the winter. I've watched them digging roots and clipping last year's grass, but recently they've been adding a little fresh salad to their diet.
Endless entertainment for a photographer visiting dogtown...

Was on a little hike without a proper camera and tripod. So took 10 pictures with my phone and stacked them to simulate a long exposure. Seems...OK...

I have spent so much time locally trying to get a decent shot...this one was not as close as I would have hoped, but I'll take it.
I'm finally trying to get back into the swing of things. Life here in the States has gone a little off the rails, and work has become much more demanding. Finding time to get out with the drone has been like searching for a needle in a haystack.
I was recently in St. Pete, Florida, on the Gulf Coast, and stopped at the Pinellas Bayway South Bridge to capture a few drone shots. It was one of those brutally hot Florida afternoons, and I was on my way to a business meeting, dressed in a suit.
I'm sure the locals were wondering why there was a guy in a business suit standing outside his Jeep, staring into the sky while flying a drone in the middle of the day. 😂
Sometimes you just have to take advantage of the opportunities when they present themselves. I hope you enjoy the photos, and I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone's amazing work again! ✌️😎
Getting close to the structure of Britannia bridge.
Britannia Bridge is a bridge across the Menai Strait between the island of Anglesey and the mainland of Wales. It was originally designed and built by the noted railway engineer Robert Stephenson as a tubular bridge of wrought iron rectangular box-section spans for carrying rail traffic.
And in the far distant is the first longest suspension bridge - the Menai Suspension bridge.
These needles are in a tapestry needle case made for me by a friend over 40 years ago. It doesn't seem to get much use any more.
The fig tree is laden. The fruit is perfectly ripe enough for the Satin Bowerbirds, but not yet good enough for humans. We'll be lucky to get any, but we do get to watch the birds stuff themselves silly.
Lot's of Sharpies pushing through Raccoon Ridge today in Blairstown, NJ. Almost 100 in 1 hour. Light was pretty bad most of the time I was up there, but when that sun was out...oh man! The more I use my new Canon R5, the more I am impressed! This is a 2.73% crop from the original photo. The animal eye detection feature is just killer! Thanks for looking!
