Pairs, figure swimming

Like ice skaters, this pair of mute swans (link to allaboutbirds.org) moved with grace, at times as one. DSCF4050 - Copy

Purposeful

Robins strike me as being industrious creatures. A robin will land, cock its head to scan for a tasty morsel. Not seeing one it runs with confident purpose, stops, cocks its head. Snaps up a bugs or tugs a worm out of the ground, devours its find. Runs confidently, repeats. I enjoy watching them at work, and greatly enjoy hearing their beautiful, happy, caroling.

At ease

At ease in our very pleasant back yard. At ease wearing pink. At ease wearing an ear stud. At ease with my friend, companion. At ease in, with, life.

Kendal’s graying eyebrows and chin provide an appearance of the distinguished gentleman.

 

Gossamer, ephemeral beauty

Spider web, capturing early morning rays. More proof that beauty, majesty, is all around us in the everyday, the seemingly mundane. Stop, look, listen, contemplate, appreciate, give thanks for the (seemingly) small things.

In motion

I was initially disgruntled when Stella moved as I snapped the shutter. After viewing this photo I came to like it, capturing her kineticism.
