“There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”
Edith Wharton
DSCN4381-002
This osprey came in close as it turned filling the frame. Worth viewing large to take in all those patterns and details.
In my mind I can fly like a bird - the wind lifts me high into the sky and I let my imagination soar!

Impressions from my first trip to Helgoland
Day by day, as seasons pass, we each spread our light.
Some shine from bright places with petals freshly unfurled,
while others glow softly, from the dark, with petals torn and burned.
From wherever we may come; to wherever we may go,
We each have our special place to spread our light and grow.
Sharing a simple rose from my garden that was spreading it's light to the refreshing rain while waiting for the sunset. I felt that monochrome best captured the atmosphere of the moment. I'll post a later shot in color a bit down the road. Wishing everyone a great day ahead. Thanks for the favs and kind comments. They are much appreciated!
The squirrel was feeding on the deck rail when suddenly it stopped and draped itself on the rail. I know they spread themselves out to cool off, but it did this in the full sun with shade only a few feet away. It wasn't moving so I went out and asked "Are you okay?" Apparently it was, because it jumped into the nearby tree.
Photographed from A12 Prout's Island a Cumulonimbus Cloud over Sesekinika Lake in Sesekinika in the Township Grenfell in Northeastern Ontario Canada
Infamous for bringing heavy precipitation and storms, cumulonimbus clouds are huge clouds that can spread between the differing levels of the troposphere, towering up into very high altitudes (you can’t really miss them). Their tops seem to resemble an anvil.

If the wild bird could speak
She'd tell of places you had been
She's been in my dreams
And she knows all the ways of the wind

Close-up framing of a Western Reef Heron in flight with its wings outstretched over the sea. Also known as the Western Reef Egret, it has a long pointed beak and yellowish feet, which are visible as it flies.
The bird's flight creates a sense of motion blur visible in its wings and the background water.
Wings allow birds and other creatures to soar above limitations, symbolizing the ability to break free from constraints and explore new horizons.
The male Anhinga’s job is to strip some nesting material from a nearby tree and bring it back to his mate who does the nest building. There is a lot of communications during this process, with the male often calling on the way in and his mate excitedly chattering back at him. I’m not fluent in Anhinga but can recognize love talk when I hear it! This guy gave me a full out wing and tail feather spread as he approached the rookery with his contribution. Thank you Mr. Anhinga! (Anhinga anhinga) (Sony a1M2, 200-600 lens @553mm, 1/3200 second, f/6.3, ISO 1250)
For my niece... I hope you spread your wings and you start to work on your adult life plans. The world is out there waiting for you, and a strong young woman like you can take to the sky with no limits.

The sun was about to dip below the horizon on this first evening of the Lunar Year of Snake...
Happy Lunar New Year to those who celebrate it; may the Snake bring you bountiful of joy and happiness!
"Spread your wings my little butterfly" (Little Mix)
May 14, and lockdown restrictions were eased. For the firs time in almost two months I drove to do a walk, this one along the Chiltern Escarpment at Cowleaze Wood, near Christmas Common
A juvenile bald eagle flies by.
Wikipedia: The plumage of the immature (bald eagle) is a dark brown overlaid with messy white streaking until the fifth (rarely fourth, very rarely third) year, when it reaches sexual maturity.
Winter has shown us its less beautiful side in the last few days. It's actually cloudy, dreary and gray out there all day long. Probably at night too, but we are spared this sight because of the regular darkness.
Now it's time for me to change the seasons once again to at least spread a little light and color here.
And so we go back to a beautiful November evening in the beautiful Elbe Sandstone Mountains (on the outskirts of Lohmen) in a beautiful beech forest (someone might say I have a problem with superlatives) and enjoy the sun as it casts stripes of light and shadow on the forest floor.
By the way, the area directly in front of us spontaneously reminded me of a road, which led to the title of this picture.
Der Winter zeigt sich uns in den letzten Tagen von seiner weniger schönen Seite. Es ist eigentlich den ganzen Tag lang trüb, trist und grau da draußen. Nachts wahrscheinllich auch, doch da bleibt uns dieser Anblick auf Grund der regelmäßig einsetzenden Dunkelheit erspart.
Da wird es jetzt Zeit für mich einmal mehr die Jahreszeiten zu wechseln um wenigstens hier ein bisschen Licht und Farbe zu verbreiten.
Und so gehen wir noch einmal zurück zu einem wunderschönen Novemberabend im wunderschönen Elbsandsteingebirge (am Stadtrand von Lohmen) in einen wunderschönen Buchenwald (da soll mal einer sagen ich hätte ein Problem mit Superlativen) und genießen die Sonne, wie sie den Waldboden in Streifen aus Licht und Schatten teilt.
Der direkt vor uns liegende Bereich hat mich übrigens spontan an eine Strasse erinnert, was dann zum Titel dieses Bildes geführt hat.

Earth Star Fungus (Geastrum triplex)
In the craziness yesterday I forgot to get a photo of the Earthstar, this is how it looks today.
Unlike this year, the ice was melting off the lakes to welcome
the waterfowl migrating back.
The waterfowl are arriving to ice on lakes and flooding in fields or fields still covered in snow in April of this year.
In a flood watch/warning for the next two weeks
It has turned much colder for the weekend with
chances of freezing rain and snow mix.
On the news last night, they showed a heron on a lake that was frozen with thick ice and it did not look happy.
Geese and swans have been flying over the house almost daily but for mating and nesting with weather and flooding not sure many offspring will survive.
Recent photos I have all have snow so went to my archives
today.
Wild Geranium flowers fill my flower garden each year. I've never intentionally planted them. However, the geranium ensures that it can spread the wealth. After blooming, fruit capsules are produced 3-5 weeks later. Each consists of a long, central beak-like column (resembling a crane’s head) and five basal cells, each containing one seed. The carpels of the fruit curl upward and backward to spring open when ripe, expelling the seeds 10-30 feet from the mother plant.
