Oh, the mallard doing yoga, that’s awesome. My chickens do that too. I can explain it, but I just LOVE seeing nature doing simple things that people do, like yawning, or stretching. Once I saw a sandpiper trip on a pile of sand on the beach and plow its little beak into the sand. I guess I think of animals as perfection, but I guess…our faults are part of our perfection.
Now that, is a really lovely way to see it 🩵 Imperfection is built right into the core of many cultures. Most known is probably “kintsugi” where broken pottery is made whole with gold. Embracing imperfection and flaws make a thing stronger and more beautiful.
Wow! I liked the wren caught in mid song (or scold).

Oh yes, I have heard of that and had forgotten.
The trillium are popping up all over on the hill!
That’s great! Still looking for my first. Probably should have kept heading south to Seminary Hill*
Such a delight! Glad you’re getting back to getting out again. I was missing it!
Thanks Nancy. And me too. Me too*
Amazing images, made even better with captions that educate those oF us who wouldn’t have a clue. Always learn something when I come to this page. ♥️
Then my job here is done! It was a lovely morning*
