My ma, 'the poet', who is the litle girl on the left, also wrote this poem:
Learning Time
Old stone wall giant in height
A two year old holds tight to the hand in sight
Swarms of Green with kaleidoscope heads held high
Holding breath what's at the end of the adventure of night.
Peeping and plodding along, around the curving path, not sure what's to be
Oh a mass of Green not a disappointment to see
A gentle hand on it pulls tight, not just a bunch of Green but a smell of delight.
A voice of knowledge now explains nature's way
The bunch preciously held is on its way
Mint in the making for lunch it will be
And a two year old has learnt something else for free.

osprey chick practicing for flight he or she got some real height here practice is non the landing talons spread :-)
the chick doing the hopping and flapping is the dominant chick, shortly after the other chick took its turn flapping and hopping around. I hope I am there for the real flight.

A baby Sandhill Crane walks with his mother learning as he goes. Stopping to feed when she does and being too young to fly, trying to keep up as best as he can.

And learning how to use Lightroom 5...I am used to old Photoshop CS4 but decided to try Lightroom 5 and I love it! There is however a learning curve and I have experienced some frustration. But it is indeed a great program and I do recommend it.
Hope all is well in the world of Flickr!
Im learning to fly but I aint got wings
Comin down is the hardest thing
Im learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down ...

This guy had just started flapping around the nest which was fun to observe. Unfortunately we had to leave before we saw his first real flight, which I imagine happened soon after.

I found myself with a couple of hours to spare this morning so went for a walk around the Heathdale -Glen Orden Wetlands in the sunshine.
So many babies around the Wetlands today.
Only one flower of the bunch thriving. This is an old shot playing with a new bounce flash. I liked how the pic turned out and the rest as they say, is history. :)
