MIXED MEAT PLATTER, awaits its chicks, but the parent is not going to feed them until I am well out the way, so as not to disclose the nest sights location. Seen at Palm Bay Thanet Kent.

Noisy Miner (Manorina melanocephala)

 

The Noisy Miner clan at the Woodville Football Oval continues to increase. This one had swooped me as it thought I had got too close to its offspring, which I hadn't noticed at this point.

Excited to discover a nest and now chicks in a big Banksia just over the fence,

My mother, who died a week ago, and my father, who died in 2006, at a carnival ball in Memmingen in 1954. My mother was 22 years old then, my father 27 (their birthdays were later in the year), and I was about ten months old at the time. Certainly my grandmother took care of me that evening.

A nicely coloured one from the archives!

Pantegnies - Parc de l'Avesnois - France (Sept 19)

 

Because youngsters love exploring and believe they can do everything the adults do, Junior left the security of the big tree, maybe to follow dad and then found himself unable to climb back up the tree again ! Grabbing one of my planters, he was desperately calling for help !! /

 

Parce que les jeunes n'en font jamais qu'a leur tete et revent de parcourir le monde et de faire tout ce que font les adultes, Junior a quitte la securite du grand arbre ou ses parents l'avaient mis a l'abri, peut-etre pour suivre papa, puis il s'est retrouve incapable de grimper a l'arbre pour retourner sur sa branche ! Accroche a l'une de mes jardinieres, il appelait desesperement ses parents au secours !!

Always nice to see females with eggs! They're such good mothers though that they're infuriating, as they constantly lean towards the lens, to protect their brood!!

The Greatest Love Of All By: Whitney Houston

 

I believe the children are our future

Teach them well and let them lead the way

Show them all the beauty they possess inside

Give them a sense of pride to make it easier

Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

 

Everybody's searching for a hero

People need someone to look up to

I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs

A lonely place to be

And so I learned to depend on me

 

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows

If I fail, if I succeed at least I live as I believe

No matter what they take from me

They can't take away my dignity

 

Because the greatest love of all is happening to me

I found the greatest love of all inside of me

The greatest love of all is easy to achieve

Learning to love yourself, it is the greatest love of all

 

I believe the children are our future

Because the greatest love of all is happening to me

I found the greatest love of all inside of me

The greatest love of all is easy to achieve

Learning to love yourself, it is the greatest love of all

 

And if by chance that special place

That you've been dreaming of

Leads you to a lonely place

Find your strength in love

One of the darkest I've ever seen!

Brown Moss - Shropshire

It's spring again, and I'm off to the lakes to watch two families of grebes bring up their off spring

this family today have 3 hatched and being very demanding with parents still on more eggs

constant fish on the menu

Elasmucha grisea can reach a length of 6.5–8.8 millimetres (0.26–0.35 in). Males are smaller than females. These medium-sized shieldbugs are usually brown-reddish, but there are also gray (hence the Latin species name grisea) and green-brown specimen. Connexivum is black and white. The upperside is covered with several dark dots. The scutellum usually shows an evident black patch. The ventral face is largely punctuated with black. Lateral corners of the pronotum are simply beveled. The front corners of the pronotum show a more pronounced tooth. Antennas are blackish in the male, dark brown in the female. This species, like other parent bugs possess methatoracic and abdominal glands, which discharge a foul smelling secretion. This secretion is used to deter potential enemies and is sometimes released when the bug is disturbed.

A brother and I stopped at “Our Parents Place” to reminisce for a bit before going on a cruise together. It was a beautiful day and by chance we wanted to get a couple photos of our street rods. We live a few hundred apart and wanted to pay our folks the respect of a visit. We had a blast and our folks never said a negative word. Gratitude and Kindness paid off again.

It's not THAT hot near the Southern California coast where I live, but I've been spending a LOT of time down at the pool lately. As I age here in glorious retirement (and healing from my last fall onto a concrete parking lot last month) I'm not out and about taking photos. I'm relaxing. Who knows, there might be a trip upcoming before the next real "adventure" in Central Europe come September. But I'm satisfied, it seems, for once, to stay home. (and we have a real nice pool)

 

Lots of folks are suffering from extreme heat this summer. I understand Sunday was the hottest day on record ever! So I went through my massive archives of photos I've never really looked at closely or processed and came up with this neat winter view of the Mayne Wonderland Cash Store in the really small town of Torrey, Utah, where I stayed the first night of my Winter Trip to Utah National Parks in February of 2023.

I've seen snow, but until that trip, I really don't have much recollection of winters in the northwest. (My parents moved from Idaho to Los Angeles when I was 3 years old) There were snow flurries overnight and I used a snow scraper for the first time ever on my windshield the next morning before going off to visit Capitol Reef National Park.

 

So if you're boiling this week, try to concentrate on the cool. Hopefully this photo will help. (It won't but, it's a neat photo.) The Torrey canal runs alongside the highway (State 24) and while it wasn't frozen, there were snowbanks along the sides.

These are my parents, Dick and Sue. Mom is sick with CBGD, a rare neurological degenerative disease. My dad takes really good care of her. Yesterday was her first full day in her new wheelchair. Check out www.wemove.org to find out more about CBGD and other rare motion disorders.

 

I am thankful for my family.
