They're getting big. It won't be long before the fledge the nest. They're very active in the nest and this was the only time I could see the two of them in the viewfinder at the same time. My sightline into the nest is a very small window, so I'm happy to get this to keep an eye on them.

"A woodpecker can tap twenty times on a thousand trees and get nowhere, but stay busy. Or he can tap twenty-thousand times on one tree and get dinner."

Hot humid summer days aren't really my favorite, but I do love summer evenings. Everything seems to get quiet and peaceful as the sun goes down.

'I've come to believe that it’s worth getting to know your fearful mind... it’s never going to leave you. You can’t evict it. It’s more or less hardwired into your psyche and will accompany you onto every stage you set foot on, into every job interview you go to, and every new relationship you enter into. It’s there, and it’s not going to shut up.'
Michelle Obama. 2022. The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times, (p. 73), Crown Publishers

Puffins-DSC_6457-Puffins and Rzorbills share the top of the cliff on Ile aux Perroquets but the Razorbills seem a bit camera shy.
At the time of taking this I was pretty fed up that this great egret that I was watching had turned it's back to me, I had been watching it for quite a while walking around with this fish, I didn't realise that this particular shot was worth a second look until now, so there is a lesson there to go back and look at what you got again.

Get Up
Song by Shinedown
Get up, get up
Get up, get up
Get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up
I know you're clinging to the light of day
To tell you everything's a-okay
And medication don't do much
Yeah, it just numbs the brain
Guess you might say I'm a little intense
I'm on the bright side of being hell-bent
So, take it from me, you're not the only one
Who can't see straight (can't see straight)
If you were ever in doubt
Don't sell yourself short, you might be bulletproof
Hard to move mountains when you're paralyzed
But you gotta try
And I'm calling out
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
What's taking so long?
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Stop stalling, I'm calling out
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
Ain't nothing wrong
'Cause I believe you can be whatever
And I agree you can do much better, trust me
Everybody wants to sing their song
So, Marvin Gaye, "What's Going On?"
Ain't nothing normal when it comes to you and me
I'd rather twist myself in knots than watch you give up on your dreams
If you were ever in doubt
Don't sell yourself short, you might be bulletproof
Hard to move mountains when you're paralyzed
But you gotta try
So I'm calling out
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
What's taking so long?
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Stop stalling, I'm calling out
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
Ain't nothing wrong
'Cause I believe you can be whatever
And I agree you can do much better, trust me
Yeah, I don't know why I never talk about it
I guess that's probably part of the problem
Yeah, sometimes you're wrong, sometimes you're right
Just gotta keep moving
Yeah, I'm just gonna keep moving
Today, tomorrow, gonna get
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
What's taking so long?
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Stop stalling, I'm calling out
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
Ain't nothing wrong
'Cause I believe you can be whatever
And I agree you can do much better, trust me
Get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up
An out take from today's shoot. You think I would be figgin' over figs by now but no.... they are a figgin' awesome subject!!
Gannet Week: Day 4: After committing to a lifetime relationship, our frisky gannet couple Grace and Waldo take a honeymoon to the edge of the rookery, where they engage in a cringy public display of affection.

Traveling for our postponed and overdue vacation last week. Plenty of captures to share incoming, including this set of frisky trucks outside our hotel stop along the way.
she was everywhere, but when I started to look, only found 8 more... bring my egg count so far to 38...
Using a manual lens is not advised when capturing a fluttering butterfly!!
One of the triplets. I did get to see a glimpse of all 3 at the same time but they are just like kids and weren't all looking at the same time for the picture. Lots of wing stretching happening, wouldn't be surprised if they get out soon and test them out.
It's been a while since I've been to the Lake District, I keep managing to find a photo from my last hike there.. but photo's are running short... I need another visit :-)
It must have been a chilly June morning (about 6 AM) when this image was taken as the beautiful female mountain bluebird has puffed up some of her feathers.
These special birds will be back in about 7 or 8 weeks. Given the cold and snow in Alberta at the moment, it seems like a pipedream. However, there is lots of time for the sun to warm things up as the days get longer.
It's a foggy morning as Norfolk Southern train 37Q darts past train 16T. The two freights are meeting at Cleversburg Junction, the site of an old spur to a nearby iron ore mining operation that's been gone for more than a century. The rumble from NS 9165 grows louder as the engineer charges up the air and gets ready to roll. The old Conrail tri-lights are blinking an Approach Limited, letting him know he can proceed east on the Lurgan Branch.

Lovely to see so much life in a public pond. With quite high banks it was quite a challenge to get low to the water for this shot. Camera and lens very close to a dunking.
