A small flock of Short-billed Dowitchers enjoyed a pitstop at a local pond in early May. They were here for a brief stay - to rest and refuel before embarking on their next leg of migration to their breeding grounds further north in the subarctic tundra.
It's a delight to watch them feed and probe their bills - 'sewing machine' style - into the mud for aquatic insects.
I am glad that I was able to capture some shots of these three individuals in which their eyes were visible and their feeding positions were synchronized.

Thank you very much for the visit and comment.
I find it hard to shed a tear
Oh, you brought it on yourself, my dear
And wrong, yes, I may be
Don't you dare, don't you dare leave no light on, no light on for me
'Cause, baby, I ain't comin' home
Oh, but you know it hurts me, it hurts me to be alone
Yeah, it hurts me, baby
A hundred years that ain't never gonna ease
Oh, I'm hearing all the things, all the things, all the things that I just can't believe
But I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes
All the pain that, baby, that this heart, this heart just cannot hide
But you know that this pain starts in my heart
And love tears us apart
You won't find me down on, on my knees, baby
You won't find me bendin' over backwards, baby
Just to please, show me, please
'Cause I'm seeing things for the first time
Seeing it, oh, for the first time
Seeing it for the first time
In my life
Hey, it's in my life
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I used to dream
Of a better day that you know, that you know never, ever came
"Sorry," that don't mean nothin' to me
Oh, baby, I'm gone, I'm out the door
And you know that's the way that things gotta, gotta be
So, baby, you know I've done my time
I didn't know that lovin' you was such a crime
And you won't find me down on my knees
No, no, no, no, no, no
You won't find me bendin' over backwards, baby
Just to please, show me, baby, one thing
Seeing things for the first time
Seeing it, ow, for the very first time
Seeing it for the first time
Seeing it, baby
I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
'Cause I'm seeing things for the first time
In my life
Oh, baby, you know, you know, you know, you know it's my life

Pretty hardy plants, a rocky shoreline, dark sand, foamy sea on the way out to the blue south pacific ocean and a cloudy sky.
Printed this but the lower part was a bit too dark ... here's a humorous photo of Frank holding it in the garden :)
I was doing some work around the house and this guy was hitching a ride in my wheel barrel. By the way ITS FRICKN HOT IN FLORIDA!!!!!
I can never pass up a reflection! This was taken on a wonderfully calm evening at Frank Lake, Alberta.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to you
We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through
Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give
Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you
If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through
Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give
I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your hearts for two
Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

I found these two little glasses at the Cancer Society thrift store and thought they would work nicely for this week's challenge.
Thanks everyone for your visits, comments and favs.
A favorite local hot spot of mine, when there are birds, is White Slough. When conditions are right with the tide and there is no wind the opportunity of 'seeing double' is always a fascinating observation with the American Avocets sweeping the water.
Thank you for your visit and comments...have a wonderful evening.
Sorry for the lack of viewing and commenting this week, but I've been nursing a stinking cold and an horrendous tooth abcess at the same time, so many antibiotics and painkillers I'm rattling
