Being new to this type of social media,
I didn't know what to expect when I started on here.
Want to say thank you to my new friends...
It's been a joyous experience.

Picture I took of a goose with his head tucked into his wing. He's sleeping in the river, standing on a river rock ... This is a first for me. I've never seen that before ...

See how his head is tucked into his wing?...
In all my years of observing wildlife, I've never seen one sleeping in the river while standing on a rock.

This image captures the vibrant peak bloom of cherry blossom trees, likely in the Pacific Northwest during early spring. Tree Variety: Based on the dense, ruffled pink petals, these are likely Kwanzan (Prunus 'Kanzan') cherry trees. Significance: Cherry blossoms, or sakura, are a major springtime event in the region, particularly around Portland, Oregon. Peak Time: These trees typically bloom a few weeks after the earlier, lighter-colored Yoshino cherries, usually from mid-April to early May. Viewing: Popular spots to see these blossoms include Washington Park and Tom McCall Waterfront Park.

I was Sigfried. Now I am back to #MickTrip for all of my #MickPic #RoadTrip stuff.
A local park, but also anywhere you walk at this time of year.

The photo is a detailed macro close-up of a vibrant yellow flower. The flower features an intricate arrangement of numerous lush, curved petals that seem to glow. The petals near the center are tightly packed and slightly more orange-yellow, while the outer petals are broader and more elongated. The image is dominated by brilliant shades of golden yellow and warm amber. A dark, nearly black background in the upper right and bottom right provides sharp contrast, highlighting the flower's brightness.
