My fun attempt at starry night....I probably should have had more wine when I did this.

You cannot not smile when you see them - Storm Chasers, Screamers, SWIFTS!!!!
The greatest bird? Only touching down to nest - everything else on the wing. I watched a pair mating in flight, i have seen then swoop over a Peregrine nest ledge to gather the plucked feathers from prey as they floated up. A young Swift will take to the air and fly for three years - non stop.
They ride the thermals, taking advantage of rain showers and the changing air pressure to feed on insects, leaving and arriving between the rain. I had one pass so close i heard the wings cut the air.
Wave to them, shout their name, rejoice as they fill the sky, when they leave, they take summer with them.

I can't remember which thread it was in, but a while back @Wand3rlust posted a picture of her bass.

I filtered it for her, and might have 'improved it' while I was at it.

This pic always makes me smile, both at the pic itself, but also for friendship (and teasing that friend )

I have to smile when I remember Miles, best of cats and best of kittens.

Wildflowers and flowers make me smile. Fleabane are a type of wild daisy. They are invasive but cute so we leave em alone.

Peonies ready to hatch… just bursting… ready to enter the world….

Gardening brings me much joy.

I’m the same! Try to see live music whenever I can!

Who is this?

this made me smile... i hadn't seen it at the time - mainly due to having my head on the ground. The little hoverfly coming to the buttercup, the wings lit by the sun.
Another film shot, a Kodak Moment
