A man is a success if he gets up in the morning
and goes to bed at night and in between
does what he wants to do
Here's just one more from Sunday's hunt. Seems like I should show at least one result of the dives anyway.
Mama Red Necked Grebe shows me her eggs for the first time. I believe there are three. I went to check the nest this morning after a lot of rain and very strong winds yesterday. Thankfully the nest is about two inches / five centimetres above the waterline and there is no rain in the forecast.
A Common Tern fishing at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve in Huntington Beach, California.
A graceful, black-and-white waterbird, the Common Tern is the most widespread tern in North America. It can be seen plunging from the air into water to catch small fish along rivers, lakes, and oceans.
I followed this Heron around this pond and a couple other ponds for two hours until he finally caught his fish!!!
Phalaenopsis Orchid
You may remember that back in February Erin was given an Orchid plant. Up until now I have never had any success with them, having tried many times.
It now has two new flowers and four buds that will open soon. It lives on our kitchen windowsill.
I am a long way behind today, Di had her check up with the cardiologist this morning, everything is good, but he was running late due to being held up on his hospital rounds. So I lost half the day.
A royal spoonbill catches lunch at the lagoon. It is a 4 km walk from our friends house around the lagoon and beach and back to the house but always some pictures to be taken!
Hope you have a successful Friday and thanks very much if you have time for a comment.
“If the day and the night
are such that you greet
them with joy, and life emits
a fragrance like flowers
and sweet-scented herbs, is
more elastic, more starry,
more immortal - that is
your success.”

There are days when I wake up, have my coffee on the back deck or front porch, smell my garden and listen to the birds where I feel like "success". This image is from my garden using "in camera" multiple exposures.

Thank you for your patience.
Felici vacanze a tutti,

bensì dall’amore per le cose semplici,
dal calore di una famiglia, dalla serenità interiore."

In my previous post, a snowy egret had struck at a tiny fish as it flew by the water’s surface hoping for a fly-by catch. It was indeed successful and after gulping this tiny minnow down it continued its search for more.
On this particular morning, the tide was coming in and there was a feeding frenzy like I had not witnessed before. Literally a hundred or more birds were feeding in the shallow water feasting on the bounty of small fish. There were snowy egrets, great egrets, reddish egrets, great blue herons and white ibis to name a few. There was also a pod of baby tarpon feeding nearby, although they definitely didn’t fit the bill of “small fish!”
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

La Chiesa di San Biagio, chiamata per la sua monumentalità anche tempio di San Biagio, è un luogo di culto cattolico di Montepulciano, in provincia di Siena.
L'edificio rinascimentale venne edificato sul luogo dove sorgeva un'antica pieve di origine paleocristiana dedicata a Santa Maria e successivamente, intorno all'anno 1000, a San Biagio.
Il progetto venne affidato ad Antonio da Sangallo il Vecchio che si ispirò alla basilica di Santa Maria delle Carceri di Prato e i lavori si protrassero fino al 1580.
La Chiesa di San Biagio ha la pianta a croce greca con al centro una cupola sostenuta da un tamburo.
Il lato opposto all'ingresso è concluso da abside semicircolare.
Sul lato sinistro della chiesa di Montepulciano si trova una torre campanaria ricca di elementi plastico-decorativi, terminante in una cuspide piramidale.
Il progetto prevedeva l'erezione di due simmetrici campanili, dei quali solo uno fu portato a termine.
