A great find by Cosper Wosper ~ independence for Cornwall when we met at Shapwick Heath on Sunday. On alder which, along with birch, is their food plant.
This shot is not really sharp (they were moving too fast!) but I like the way it shows them using their antennae to maintain contact with the bug in front.

fubo means "father and mother" in Japanese. My mom decided she needed to teach my dad how to brush his teeth.
My parents like to remind me that when I was little I used to say that -- happy my birthday.
Today was my birthday. I always make my own cake. Since I've had people clearly assume I do this because I don't have someone to bake for me, let me assure you that's not the case. I just love this one chance a year to bake something extravagant that I crave, and not have to worry about other people's tastes.
This year's cake was a black forest cake. I made it using sour cherries that my girls and I picked and canned last summer.
It was a bit messy looking but quite delicious. That's 4 and 1 candles, as in 41. I'm too old to have all my years on there!
We ate it late this morning. My parents came over to share it with us (and give me gifts!). This afternoon my husband and girls and I went to see Avatar in 3D.
We were still so full from the cake at dinner time that my birthday dinner was a modest steamed artichoke dipped in homemade aioli.
Who are we? Part of what we are comes from our parents, by their teachings, by their teachings, by their example, by their suggestions, from the passions that they have given us. The parent-child relationship is marked by reciprocal gifts that help both to grow, but at some point, they are obstacles to the development of the single person, who, inevitably, will have to take her decision, to follow her way. The project “exploring emotions” started on myself , now develops and takes new form going to investigate the emotions related to the relationships between children and parents, starting from my family of origin. I recognized the importance of emotional, rational curiosity and respect heredity that was given to me by my parents and I found the same feelings in my sister, who also represents me in the images I shot. Re-cognize ourselves through others, means to me, to accept myself, be aware of who I am, and feel a deep sense of gratitude for having received so precious gift. “Exploring emotions – the family” is a project consisting of seven images, each representing the parent-child relationships in several aspects.
01_Identity – The identity of the child, created over the years, thanks to the help of a parent, is now being returned to the parent as a precious gift. The gift, as a necessary act for the autonomous growth of the child who, grateful, begins his intimate and erosional, physical and thought journey. The parent, in turn, will keep this gift in her womb: the gift that she had already received in the past, by his mother and his father.
02_Compassion – The love for animals, for all living beings, is one of the greatest gifts a parent can offer to her child. To emphatize with the world around us will lead us to have a great respect and a non-violent behavior towards others.
03_Outside world – To observe the world around us, to love its nature, be soaked and to experience it. These are teachings usually given by fathers who help their children to discover all what it is outside the “house”: the world outside, made of other emotions, other experiences, other relationships that allows us to grow and take our dimension within it.
04_En-joy – How to face life? Smiling, with enthusiasm and joy, appreciating the little things, because the purpose of our existence is to seek happiness and in this journey of experiences we need to maintain a positive attitude.
05_We’ll be here, forever – During our life journey we were often faced with situations where we were afraid, and the same happened to our parents. Sometimes we thought we would have been able to solve problems by our own, without the help of anyone, but soon we realized the importance of dialogue, confrontation, aid that can come right from our family, from the closest people, that will be here, next to us, for us, forever.
06_Origin_mother – A look to the past, to my mother’s parents, who gave her important values that she, in turn, was able to pass on to us. A look full of affection, respect and gratitude.
07_Origin_father – The childhood memories of sometimes painful experiences that have allowed us to grow, to learn to love, to donate, to thrill and to excite.

Forum 2014: Idea Factory: A new Age: Ageing is a major social, economic, political and development issue for the 21st century. Today, there are over 900 million people in the world over the age of 60. By 2050, that number will have grown to 2.4 billion, and a very large proportion of the world’s population over 60 will be living in developing countries. Inequality in income, wealth, and health may result in growing numbers of older people finding themselves in poverty. Many countries are building contributory pension systems, while large numbers of unemployed young people cannot contribute and will be at risk of poverty when they age.

Milk and Cookies by Frank Asch
"While spending the night at Grandfather's house, Baby Bear dreams of feeding milk and cookies to a dragon."
1982
Children at the age of 3 – 5 have the wonder time. These years are normally associated with the #tantrums that shift into #cuddling, playing into whining, and the display of belief in fairy tales shifting into the intellectual discussions which make the adults wondering where did it come from.
Preschoolers are exceptional learners because preschool years are associated with exploring and learning new things. No wonder #preschoolers are often found pushing the limits in order to find out the logic behind everything. The preschoolers also learn a lot about the social skills as they make new friends and learn about interaction.
So, there are a few things that your preschooler may need when it comes to parenting.
Ensure that everything is structured
The first thing you will need to ensure is that your preschooler has got the regular routine to follow. For kids, the world is usually a #chaotic place which is quite unsafe for them. So, you need to make the household environment a little predictable with a bigger element of fun in it for them. Their meal and bedtime routines should be structured. But remember, it’s not about #disciplining your kids. It’s about giving them the sense of safety and happiness.
Enough sleep
Since preschoolers are quite active in both #physical and #mental aspects, they need proper #relaxation to get refreshed for more exploration. So, it’s important make sure that they are having enough sleep. The best thing you can do is to make them feel cozy about an hour before they go to bed, and making them feel relaxed after they would complete their nap. Furthermore, there should be some downtime for them every day.
Letting them gain control over their food intake
You undoubtedly want to feed your kids the best foods. But if you are not letting them make their own food choices, they will probably end up hating the healthy food choices. Furthermore, preschoolers usually tend to eat several times a day. So, if you are providing them with the healthy food choices, they may ultimately pick the #fast #foods. Therefore, you have to make sure that you have variety of healthy foods available in the home for your kids. And you should also take into consideration your children’s opinion regarding which health foods they would prefer.
Help your kids with their emotions
Just because your child is not making enough tantrums doesn’t mean that he/she is not having those big feelings. Every child has big feelings and these feelings need to vent. So, you can start with providing your child with frequent opportunities to have laughter. Telling them jokes and mocking the causes which would develop big feelings in them are the good practices. You need to respect their emotions though. Furthermore, you can introduce the session of roughhousing every day.
Empathic limits
In order to make sure that your child is well within the limits while thriving for being a better person, you need to put certain limits in place. Now, this limit placement is something kids would never want. They want what they want. So, it’s natural for them to get anxious. Another reason for this anxiety is that they start fearing about your disapproval. So, it’s important that you show empathy while setting the limits. They will feel being #understood and that’s what they really need to follow the limits.
