On my bike trip I found several paragliders flying from off of Edgewater park hill. I parked my bike and started shooting. I talked with one of the pilots. I congratulated him on his impressive flying and he told me that the brains of the operation is the Paraglider. He did say he had many years of flying though. I asked him if he flies over the lake and he explained that water is bad, we stay away from it. Very cool guys.
I am having (slow) fun making a roomset for my Sindy dolls. I am using one floor of a 1980's Pedigree Sindy house but I am not using the pre-printed card walls.
I painted an extremely discoloured plastic Sindy shelf/room divider with Annie Sloan chalk paint in "Duck Egg Blue".......I am thrilled with the difference it has made to it.

What is happiness for me?
These themes get my head spinning 😁 Thank you Maria and Caren ♥
I realized that it's so many things that make me happy, so if I should dwell on them it would be a new blahblah and Flickr would close my account... 😂
This photo sums up some of it up tho, I have always loved it.
So, happiness is
The loved ones around me, the bonding, the love, having fun, laughter, coffee, music, sharing, being outside, taking photos, the nature, different seasons, observing, words, contemplating, the growth within, trying to solve the big questions.
See, I can write short ones too. 😁😂😁
Have a cheerful Saturday
You're as beautiful as the day I met you. Now you're growing right before my eyes, I wonder where did all the time go.
Getting ready for Halloween, starting to decorate the house to get in the spirit of things and decided to take time out for a little seasonal treat with my mid-morning coffee.

Great Spotted Woodpeckers (Dendrocopos Major) dancing_w_0074
Interesting facts about woodpeckers:
Inexperienced young woodpeckers frequently crash into windows: this is a major cause of death of juvenile birds.
Woodpeckers can peck up to 20 times per second, sometimes getting into the region of 8,000-12,000 a day! These pecks will involve either drumming, drilling, hammering or tapping. Hammering and tapping is used to break through the wood and create a nest, communicate with other woodpeckers and attract a mate. Drumming and drilling is used mainly for territory purposes to warn other birds away.
#2. The feet of the woodpecker are zygodactyl which mean it has two toes facing forwards and two toes facing backwards. This helps the woodpecker perch on the side of the bark, giving four strong points of contact to help stabilise them.
#3. Unlike other birds, the tail feathers of the woodpecker are thick and strong to help prop them up against the side of the tree. This is then aided by an enlarged vertebrae at the end of the tail to ensure a tight hold on the thickened feathers.
#4. In between the beak and the skull, there is a cushion of absorbent tissue which removes the impact of constant pecking. For this to be 100% effective, the woodpecker must peck at a perfect 90 degree angle, ensuring all the impact is guided towards the absorbent tissue. However, just to make the mechanics that little bit better, the skull of the woodpecker is thickened with strong but spongy bone cells which protect the brain.
#5. This omnivorous bird will eat all sorts of insects including spiders, ants, beetles and flies. They will also hunt around the trunk, digging out grubs, larvae and other foods rich in protein. Throughout the winter period, nuts and conifer seeds are crucial for the woodpeckers survival as these equate to around 30% of the birds daily requirements. Although their main diet consists of bugs and the occasional nut or seed, they are also known to invade other cavity nesting birds to eat the eggs.

Took a walk along the beach late in the afternoon to unwind after a long day and spotted this rather large sandcastle complete with a water filled moat around it.
No doubt the creator had in a lot of fun building their fantasy sandcastle - and probably a little help. And patience.
Seen strolling along the beach at Tybee Island.
