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.

I'm sure my image will get a Marmite response ... love it, hate it ... an acquired taste!
I deliberately tried to capture a sense of motion in this feeding shot, the blurred rush of an incoming parent bird and the expectant wing quivering of the juvenile about to be fed. I like it because it captures and tells the story of a moment between parent and youngster. I just wish I hadn't clipped the wings of the juvenile though!!!

This busy parent made us jump as it flew out of the hollow of a tree, flying inches from our faces.
Retiring to a safer distance we watched both parents hurrying to feed the hungry youngsters within the tree.
The light made the photo a little challenging to say the least.

This is a partial view of a garden paver art kit that I made with my daughter when she was 7 years old. Above the star are the words 'Wish Upon A Star' which came from my parents favorite song. My daughter after graduating from college now works treating young people with issues through art. There are many living angels of this world... Hans when alive was one of them and now still is... so wish upon a star.
*I brought the paver inside and washed it leaving it wet and then placed it under the color reflections of Grandpa Chris's (another angel) stain glass window.

Trying to get rid of some old dresses, and clothing. Some really awesome 80's dresses, old military stuff, with plenty more to come as I can clean out my room at my parents.
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?

These new parents look tuckered out, no doubt with 22 babes!! Guess where the chicks all are in this picture?!
I hadn't visited Vanier Park in a while. But I knew that being May I might now be able to see some wildlife. I found a collection of goose families out on the big field that's now full of little daisies. The little goslings were busy foraging but suddenly got tired and all tried to tuck under the wings of a few goose mothers. The parents were very good about me getting in close for some pictures. After a short nap the birds were soon on their way again!
Yeshe, a six-year-old boy in front of his parents' house near the village of Aba in the Serta Golok region. In between the various ceremonies and events to celebrate the Tibetan New Year, we walked outside the village to various people and homesteads. Yeshe was here alone but neighboring friends or acquaintances were near him and talked to him and I had to do something so that he could look at me in an unbiased and natural way. He had the amulet around his neck under his jacket and the people around him folded down the collar of his jacket to make it visible. It shows the Panchen Lama, who is the highest spiritual authority for the Tibetans after the Dalai Lama.

If you follow my photo stream, you know the story of the geese at Lake Orange (how I thought one of a pair had been killed and one was hanging out grieving but in reality he was guarding the Mrs. I checked in yesterday and the eggs had hatched. How Cute is this? However, there were only two babies. I talked with a fisherman who was a regular there and he said there were originally 10 but the bass were eating them! Bass??? I never heard of such a thing. He also said there was a hawk that hovered around waiting for the parents to leave a big enough opening for him to swoop in, but he never saw the hawk get one. Life is very hard for these little fluffies!
Tears and yet more tears!!!
Do we still have to have guns, are material guns more important than the lives of our children???
