When we arrived at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at daybreak, we were surprised and thrilled when we noticed this trio perched high in a tree. A quick search of the Merlin Bird ID app confirmed their identity. Later in the morning they joined a group of geese grazing on swamp grass. They made my day!
Another winter storm will hit us tonight and Wednesday. I enjoy winter but continue to dream of spring while sipping a cup of hot chocolate.
On/Off - Thank you very much for your visit and comment! I really appreciate it!

Back in the day when the sun shone, Hugo cools off under a garden bench :^)

As Cleo has arthrosis she has to take two pills every day. Cleo and I have reached an agreement: she allows me to put the pills directly into her mouth without shredding my fingers and in return she gets some treats. This generally works very well but it only works with me. When my sister had to give her the pills once several adhesive bandages were required afterwards.
From www.feelsenigallia.it/en/to-be-seen/monuments/rocca-rover...
The defensive structure that was already present when the town was founded by the Romans was integrated over time with towers and bastions. The Rocchetta (small castle) built by Egidio Albornoz in the 14th century is still visible, together with the Rocca (castle) of Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta that was added in 1450.
The current structure of the monument is due to Giovanni della Rovere, Prince of Senigallia, and son-in-law of Federico III da Montefeltro, the Duke of Urbino. It was the Duke Federico who offered Giovanni the best architects of the time: Luciano Laurana and Baccio Pontelli. The works started in 1478 with the purpose of adapting the castle to the new defensive needs. In 1503 the Rocca was conquered by Cesare Borgia, the author of the famous massacre carried out in Senigallia and described by Niccolò Machiavelli.
Rocca Roveresca is a unique monument because it was not only a fortress, but also a noble palace, and the seat of an artillery academy founded by Guidubaldo della Rovere in 1533. After the extinction of the ducal dynasty, when the town returned under the domain of the Church in 1631, the castle was used as a papal prison and an orphanage.
Today it hosts art exhibitions and prestigious cultural events.
When we visited the Grand Canyon earlier this year, we experienced a couple snow storms. The canyon rim was a bit treacherous at times but it was still beautiful.
When the world we know about has stopped
Life is going on for some
Flowers are blooming
Yellow, blue and white
Buds are on the go
They are there for us
So we can take a break from all what's happening out in the world
They are spreading joy
As they always do
Maybe several more people will notice them this year, I guess we all have got a new focus
When i was walking in our beautifull holland i saw this buzzard on a branch, he was not afraid at all and i could get really close to it. which gave me this awesome result :D
Years ago I bought a pack of 'Happy to Serve You' disposable paper cups in N.Y., to bring home a litlle Morning-New-York-Style to the somewhat slower countryside mornings in Denmark.
The flash was on automatic, and didn't go off on most of the images, but in this one, the coffee looks just as golden as the first cup tastes :-)

Also known as the snake bird or water turkey, the anhinga is a year-round resident of Florida. It is also found from coastal sections of South Carolina westward to Texas and Mexico, and even south to Argentina.
Like cormorants, anhingas do not have oil glands for waterproofing their feathers and the feathers get wet when they are swimming.
You can often spot the anhinga perched on a branch with wings outstretched, drying feathers. They feed on small fish, shrimp, amphibians, crayfish and young alligators and snakes. The fact that their feathers are less water resistant than other birds helps them to swim underwater, where they often spear fish with their long neck and sharp beak. They surface in order to flip their catch into their mouth for consumption.
Mating generally occurs in February with egg-laying occurring throughout the spring and early summer. Nests are built in shoreline trees 15 to 20 feet high.
I found this one along Peavine Road in Osceola County, Florida.
Prince & The Revolution „When doves cry“

Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?
Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that′s so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I′m just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She′s never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You′ve got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase you
Even doves have pride
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I′m just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you′re just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She′s never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (A world that's so cold)
Maybe I′m just too demanding (Maybe, maybe I′m like my father)
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold (Ya know he′s too bold)
Maybe you're just like my mother (Maybe you′re just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (She′s never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other (Why do we scream, why)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)
When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)
Don't cry (Don't Cry)
When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry
Don′t cry
Darling don′t cry
Don't cry
Don′t cry
Don't don′t cry

This was another one of those times I yelled "Stop!" LOL
When I checked out this area in the daylight, I was just ecstatic - I was imagining endless compositional possibilities for my nightscapes. So, hours later, as I arrived again around midnight at this VERY dark place, I could hardly see my hand in front of my face let alone set up a couple of lights to give me a little foreground definition. I do have experience in this area, so I was pretty dumbfounded. I suppose it seemed darker than ever because of the dark and black lava rock that just sucked up my light. It was a magnificent clear night after a rain though, full of fresh scents, and I thanked my lucky stars I could see them.

Have a nice day :-)
when i slow down, it's easier to choose kindness, patience, and understanding. when i pay attention, it's easier to work from love not fear. in this moment, there's no urgency—there's time to pause, breathe, and be.
