don’t turn your back on mother earth

because her hands of time are strong, and they reach far.

hum along if you’re happy here

so i’m from the cold and dark north (well, the summers are never dark and actually can be nice and warm too). but we don’t have hummingbirds. so i haven’t seen any before, in real life. but now i have, and managed to capture one too. hum along if you’re happy too…

uptown

at least as i have understood, usually you have downtown, maybe midtown and then uptown. charlotte, nc, where i spend most of this week only has uptown. strange, but looks pretty ok. tried google, couldn’t find out why. that’s also strange…

now i need some good old prince to funk my day.

north carolina ufo

apart from the travel last week to and from north carolina being awful with weather caused delays, in chicago on the way in and almost everywhere on the way out, i got a bit of spring as temperatures in charlotte were in the 70’s (around 20 C). attempted a walk along mallard creek greenway one day after office to enjoy the temperature, but after 5 minutes it started to rain quite heavily :(. just enough time to meet this little fellow, nice singing – but unknown to me. someone native in the area, i know a few of you are nc’s, can tell me maybe?

pelican west

weekly photo challenge: color

the circle around the eyes of this plover is colorful, bright orange. not an image overflowing with colors, less is more!…

even dogs in the wild

and would you by chance be able to pass the guardian of the border there are dogs in the wild making sure non authorized don’t get to the other shore.

at the edge of the world

there is a guardian watching the border for trespassers. on the other side of the border control is another world, a different world. and what’s coming at the edge of the deep green sea, who knows? could there actually be an end, where we could tip over to nothingness? the world is flat…

grey heron

i’m looking for spring, the grey heron is looking for food. we both need to find what we’re looking for to survive…

squirrel (hide and seek)

took me a good while to catch this one. he was a fast little fellow, jumping from tree to tree with a high pitch scream. it was worth the chase though, it’s a cute little one.
