Two weeks before they leave the nest, young ospreys start flapping their wings and trying to get airborne.
Müritz National Park, northern Germany.
Wenn die jungen Fischadler beginnen, mit den Flügeln zu schlagen,macht sich die Mutter langsam auf den Weg nach Afrika. Der Vater füttert noch zwei Wochen weiter, dann fliegt auch er los. Nun müssen die Jungen allein klarkommen, und die lange Reise ins Winterquartier überstehen. Faszinierend, dass alle getrennt fliegen. Das Elternpaar sieht sich auch in Afrika nicht, aber kehrt im Folgejahr im Abstand von nur 1-2 Tagen zum Mecklenburger Nest zurück.
the young girls practice dancing looking at the mirror which is in the opposite wall.

This morning it was with a Baroque instrument. No adjusters or chin rest, gut strings and a shorter bow. Steep learning curve. It made me feel tired just to watch. Unfortunately this violin is not a 1695 Stradavari, otherwise we'd sell it and both retire.
I saw some snapshots of Kanye West x Adidas fashion show, and I really love their tone of colors. So I decided to use it for reference. I need to practice more on different kinds of skin tones.
Saturday soccer practice in Newhall Community Park in Concord, California. Mt Diablo is in the background.
Interesting aside: The red team is all wearing masks. The white team is all (or almost all) maskless. It reflects the very mixed responses to Covid in our society.
Practicing social distancing at Casey's Beach on the New South Wales South Coast. The one on the left has been told not to stand so close.
This was built for the Guilds of Historica on Eurobricks. I continued experimenting with cross braces, and took inspiration for the tower’s gables from Brickvader.

Since retiring it has been wonderful to indulge myself with yoga practice. It is my routine to attend at least twice a week.
Our instructor has a perfect soothing voice.
This is the view from my mat at class.

******************************************************************************
The Roseate Spoonbill is a wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family. This species feeds in shallow fresh or coastal waters by swinging its bill from side to side as it steadily walks through the water, often in groups. The spoon-shaped bill allows it to sift easily through mud. It feeds on crustaceans, aquatic insects, frogs, newts and very small fish ignored by larger waders. The Roseate Spoonbill nests in shrubs or trees, often mangroves, laying 2 to 5 eggs, which are whitish with brown markings. Immature birds have white, feathered heads, and the pink of the plumage is paler. They are extremely agile high in the treetops. (They are often confused with the flamingo.)

I did joke at the time of avoiding the oil drum bin in the background but decided it should stay as being an oil drum fits in with cars and racing.
But I was taken with this angle giving a circular plate shape of the beautiful Jag.
Location is paddock garage area at Goodwood racing circuit near Chichester.
All you need at the end of a hard day is one good friend to make you smile ♥
This is how I found Charlie when I came home today... practicing to become… a clown?! :)
looking incredibly sexy wearing YoUnique's item for the Thirsty Event, which opens up on the 15th. Make sure you put this on your list to check out. Those gorgeous wrapped Cleopatra shoes will be available as well. There is a great hud with 10 different color changes and 2 types of sleeves you can choose from ~ as you see am wearing the plain and not the "Strip Me" ones. Kiara will fit most bodies but please try on a demo if not sure as you can see on my Maitreya it looks fantastic! Remember the event does not start till May 15th and will run until June 5th. Enjoy
