It took a lot of time to train them to march in step.

Cows and their babies.

I do believe in an everyday sort of magic -- the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone.

Tight formation flying by two house sparrows. They will be performing at next week's Festival of Bird Acrobatics.

A couple of duck take off at the sound of my 'Canon' - in sync on their timing and stroke!

Happy Crazy Tuesday!

We went to Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Smyrna, DE. for first light. One of the first birds we came across were the Roseate Spoonbill's feeding in the mudflats at low tide. The sunrise light just lit them up. Simply a beautiful sight.

Let me bathe my soul in colours; let me swallow the sunset and drink the rainbow.

I really like the way pelicans glide along right above the top of water.

Some lucky timing as a trio of male Goosanders came into land at Hogganfield Loch, Glasgow... a downpour had just stopped.. not the sharpest but hey ho!

Overhead view of the gears and chain on a 10 speed bicycle. More than one kind of metal is used among these specialized parts.

Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.

Mallard ducks prepare to land on Mallard Marsh at Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge near Mound City, Mo.

I caught these mallards streaking by in the Corte Madera Marsh. Even at 1/800 second, the background blurred, as I panned along with the fast moving ducks. They came along just at the right time because this week's topic for the Flickr Lounge is Motion.

Thank you everyone for your visit, favorites and comments.

These guys have GOT to practice this, maybe to dazzle the tourists. Once more at the estuary.

I wish a nice new week my friends!

Finally, some ducklings were born on the river...and I spied them. I've been waiting for months...and was pleasantly surprised, needless to say.
