Thank you Belle π. One of the walks that you don't need the car to drive to.
Gracias Luis π
Two Border Terriers surrounded by purple heather bushes in an ancient Caledonian pine forest. They are standing with alert expressions, facing the camera and looking into the distance. Taken on an August day at Rothiemurchus Forest, Cairngorms National Park, Scotland. Behind them on the right is the bottom of a Scots Pine tree. The background is blurred with purple heather bushes, trees and green vegetation

Thank you Jen. Let's just say I have a capacity to memorise stuff I've read or heard π.
Enjoy your evening Jen πββοΈ
But borrowing happiness from tomorrow as a consequence π
ππ definitely!
ππ€£π I can Proclaim that:
πΆ I'm on my way from misery to happiness today πΆ π
Jen, are you saying we are as shallow as a muddy puddle of water π€π
Close-up of a Song Thrush, a member of the Turdidae, perched among leafy branches and red stems dotted with small dark berries. The bird faces right, its warm brown upperparts glowing in sunlight, while its creamy chest is boldly marked with dark, arrow-shaped spots. A sharp eye and fine, slightly speckled bill are in crisp focus, with a softly blurred blue-and-green background giving a calm, garden feel.
Good afternoon folks.
My cohost Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has said
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ComeEatWithMe, birds who have food in their beaks. The Alt Theme is #Turdidae, any of the bird species in this group. Hmmm, Iβm going with a Song Thrush for the alt.

I think florals are going to have to do some quite heavy lifting for me this week πͺ»
Happy #BlueSkyMonday from Mancunian 'April Skies' & my winter pansies that are having one last flowering blast π

Thank you Rina π
Thanks marra. Snapped while Hattie was rooting about in the hedge. Gives you time to look around.
One where you walk out of the house, into the countryside and then back home.
Hope you had a nice day marrahπ
Thanks Rob. Hope you have a good day marra.

The photo shows a close-up of a pink flower (Scabiosa). The flower head consists of many individual blooms. Particularly striking are the larger outer blooms, which frame the smaller ones in the centre, which are a lighter shade than the outer ones.
Have a wonderful week ahead π«Ά

Here is Lilly Little Egret who was out collecting food to cook for her guests on 'Come Eat With Me', for her main course Lilly had decided to cook her own version of 'Ratatouille' with a blended rat juice with the left over vegetables. Captured at WWT Martin Mere, Lancashire.
For his turn on 'Come Eat With Me' Gladwin Glossy Ibis was doing a Worn Stew, so he was busy out collecting as many worms as possible to make his dish stand out. Which he told me was his signature dish and could be a program winner, and get him a job as a chef somewhere. Although i did tell him it didn't sound too good, so i hope it tastes much better than it sounds. Captured at Summer Leys Nature Reserve, Northamptonshire.
Next up to cook her main course was Julie Jay, and she was out collecting Nuts when she came across Jordan Jay's Nuts he had lost from Alan's #FeederFriends theme. Julie's dish was going to be a Nut Roast made with monkey nuts instead of walnuts & pecans, although i let her know she would need more that one type of nut for it she told me to go find some other bird to pester. Captured at Forest Farm Nature Reserve, Cardiff.
For the final episode of 'Come Eat With Me' it is Ricky Robin and he was going to be making his signature Bug Burgers for everyone to enjoy, he did give me a piece to try and i said it could do with a bit of beef in there. On hearing this Ricky shook his head and said some words i can't repeat before the 'birdshed' (the airtime before the little birds go to bed), so i left him to it. Captured at Forest Farm Nature Reserve, Cardiff.
Good morning all.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ComeEatWithMe, birds who have food in their beaks. The Alt Theme is #Turdidae, any of the bird species in this group.

Great set Rob and they are creating some real culinary delights. Judging by his frequent use of the odd profanity, I think Ricky might have been mentored by Gordon Ramsay π
A portrait of a scruffy terrier to bring you good wishes for the week ahead. I painted this delightful dog in 2020, and I hope you enjoy seeing him here π

A springtime scene along a quiet rural country lane in the Cumbrian countryside. The road is bordered by lush green grass, hedgerows, and trees. A prominent tree on the right side is blooming with pink cherry blossoms. The sky is blue with light white clouds, and the sun casts shadows from the overhead tree branches onto the road.
#BlueSkyMonday
Blossom blooming on one of my regular dog walks last Friday just out of town.
Hope you have a good day.
