A Golden-crowned Sparrow ( Zonotrichia atricapilla) was picking seed off a frozen birdbath. Looked like it was learning to skate!
PS Our main birdbath has a heater. Providing bird with water in the winter is very important.
Several juvenile/immature Swainson's hawks were actively hunting in a field when one of them successfully scored dinner. One of life's lessons then followed as the other tried their best to steal it and claim it their own. Once the prey was captured, it flew to a nearby pole to consume it, only a moment (or less) of peace to reflect upon its hunting prowess before it was challenged ... the two struggled with gusto and quite honestly I'm not sure if it was successful in retaining it. So many wings going every which way. LOL. But I do know ... what goes around, comes around ... and it's all part of growing up..
Again, I feel that young raptors are the most interesting of all and we watched for quite some time as they, and 2 others, interacted all around us.
Happy Friday!

My grandson, Wyatt loves music and is interested in learning to play for real someday. He’s about 21/2-3 yrs. old. He’s picked up the guitar to play, my Native American Flutes and lately the keyboard. The best I can do is encourage him to play whatever he wants. He’ll at times wear my headphones and hum along to whatever is playing at time. He’s a delight. Gratitude and Kindness play a role in our relationship.

At the entrance to Thiksey Monastery's main prayer hall, a young monk interprets the Bhavachakra, or Wheel of Life, for a companion. This complex diagram serves as a visual teaching tool, illustrating the six realms of existence and the three poisons—ignorance, anger, and attachment—that drive the cycle of rebirth. The entire wheel is depicted in the clutches of Yama, the Lord of Death, a stark reminder of the impermanence of all things.
All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.

Took my niece, Nicole to the dry lake near Jean, Nevada for her first driving lesson. It’s a wide open expanse of perfectly flat terrain and a nice place to learn since there is no traffic and no rules. Sot this with a Nikon D800 and the Nikkor 70-300mm lens
1) have tripod set up already; 2) double-check the aperture (of course it was on 22 instead of 2.8) because things look brighter in-camera; 3) just enjoy watching the lights dance.
glad i did lots of #3!

Many moons ago students gathered in this one room schoolhouse. Most probably walked a mile or two down the old gravel road. Some got dropped off by horse and buggy. Maybe the more affluent would get to ride in their parent's motorcar. And between these four walls they would all learn about the three R's - reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic.
But some lessons aren't exactly taught. Kids learn to socialize with one another. The teacher learns patience from the students. And the schoolhouse? It may not learn, but it gets to stand tall and watch how time goes on. The students grow up and become teachers, politicians and farmers. The teacher goes back to teach at the school they once attended. The politician decides this school is too small and pools tax money to fund a new two story school in the city. And the farmer? He buys the land surrounding the old school and holds onto the memory from his youth.
District #14 School

(Hello flickr friends - I'm back from a short hiatus! Life has been busy on my end but I have a lot of new snaps to share! I had the opportunity this week to travel and visit some places on my bucket list from around central Indiana.
I'll share a little more about this school later but it was built in 1910 and sits abandoned down a country road and surrounded by farms on all sides.)
