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.

My brother from Maine drove to Massachusetts and I from Pennsylvania drove to Massachusetts to meet at my parents gravesite to pay our respects. All in all it was a great visit as we attended a few other events with a more upbeat stance. He drove his 38 Chevy and I had the 40 Mercury. I found this photo quite appropriate for our personal files. Thanks for viewing my work. Drive safely…

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.
been seeing lots with eggs, and can only wonder at how on earth they have fared over the last couple of weeks with the wind and torrential rain...
This one was at Cramer Gutter - Shropshire
What more could any daughter ask for than parents who committed to one another for LIFE , through hard times and good times, were amazing role models for 6 children .I feel like the luckiest women having them as my parents . Today and always I love them more than I could ever express in words !!!
First Photo is of them the day they were married
Swan parents - last week at Horn Pond. Thanks to the local Instagram community, I know at least half the eggs have hatched since then. I haven't had a chance to go back yet to try to see the babies - maybe sometime today, depending on the rain.

A wild adult white ibis.
Wikipedia - The .American white ibis (Eudocimus albus) is a species of bird in the ibis family, Threskiornithidae. It is found from North Carolina via the Gulf Coast of the United States south through most of the coastal New World tropics. n flight. Males are larger and have longer bills than females.
The breeding range runs along the Gulf and Atlantic Coast, and the coasts of Mexico and Central America. Outside the breeding period, the range extends further inland in North America and also includes the Caribbean. It is also found along the northwestern South American coastline in Colombia and Venezuela. Populations in central Venezuela overlap and interbreed with the scarlet ibis. The two have been classified by some authorities as a single species.
Their diet consists primarily of small aquatic prey, such as insects and small fishes. Crayfish are its preferred food in most regions, but it can adjust its diet according to the habitat and prey abundance. Its main foraging behavior is probing with its beak at the bottom of shallow water to feel for and capture its prey. It does not see the prey.
During the breeding season, the American white ibis gathers in huge colonies near water. Pairs are predominantly monogamous and both parents care for the young, although males tend to engage in extra-pair copulation with other females to increase their reproductive success. Males have also been found to pirate food from unmated females and juveniles during the breeding season.

A parent bug nymph. Went back to see if it is still there on a following day and it has disappeared. Other benches in the gardens all still have their little shieldbug nurseries. Wonder where this little dude is?
....and my parents didn't feed me after that :-(
This herring gull chick fell down four storeys on Sunday evening and ended up on scaffolding outside my kitchen. The parents could hear him but weren't going to feed him. After 12 hours I raked him in with a shrimping net and fed him (you see some of the food on his beak and down!). I got in touch with a local wild life rescue centre where he has now gone to spend some months with others the same age until he is ready to be released. So a happy ending after all!
