Cute baby raccoons just having a nap together. Best moment ever I saw so far this week. I assume these were brother and sister by their size.

A typical summer day in the backyard. Astilbe and Sum and Substance Hosta. We had some big storms come through and everything was leaning afterwards.

Do you recall, not long ago

We would walk on the sidewalk?

Innocent, remember?

All we did was care for each other

 

But the night was warm

We were bold and young

All around, the wind blows

We would only hold on to let go

Let go, Let go, Let go, Let go [x2]

All we need is somebody to lean on

 

We need someone to lean on

 

Blow a kiss, fire a gun

We need someone to lean on

Blow a kiss, fire a gun

All we need is somebody to lean on...

  

Lean on me, when your not strong-and I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on

Shots from Balloons over Waikato back in March this year.

 

The breeze was a bit fresh this morning for ballooning!

Weather in west of Scotland rubbish. Struggling to get good shot due to poor lighting. Breagha always happy to pose so used original shot and app to show off her beauty. I've got the flu like most people and Breagha never leaves my side which I am truly grateful.

Much thanks to all who have marked this photo as a favorite. I appreciate it. :)

Lean On Me - I was just lamenting my screech owl luck this year, and my lamentations were recently answered! I hiked about 2 miles, scanning every suitable cavity I saw in Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) and Valley Oak (Quercus lobata), two of the preferred tree species for these owls in Northern California.

 

Finally, I returned where I started and saw a partially obscured cavity and noticed a single screech owl in the cavity. She shuffled around and then out popped the second one, which was clearly smaller and a male. Shooting was a challenge as I had to shoot off a soft slope, which made long exposures tricky. I was fortunate to grab a few sharp frames regardless - and I just loved the way they were leaning on each other and listening to hikers, songbirds and road noise.

 

Amazingly, the female landed a few feet away from me in a bush and just watched me and preened. I fumbled around as it was much too dark at this point for images, so I just enjoyed the moment until she took off on her evening hunt.

 

Looking forward to spend more time with these beauties this summer

With temperatures locally hardly ever above freezing these last few weeks, the chances of our kingsfisher population being decimated are alas very real indeed. )-:

And—sneaking in a reference to John Denver—sunlight on the shoulder of the mountain makes me happy. 😃

Leaning tree stands out against all of the others.

I always love finding these beautiful red toadstools and there were plenty of them at the summit of Mt.Macedon.
