breezy day and hanging on tight to a grass seed head.
I think this is a Sawfly larvae but I'm not too sure...or maybe belonging to a species of moth??
All help on the i.d of this one will be gratefully received, I've searched through my books and internet but no luck so far. Thank you for your time :))
My internet is 'snail pace' here so please bear with me :))
UPDATE....pretty sure this is a Sawfly (Tenthredinidae) Växtstekel - Common Sawfly. :)

A beautiful day in November to get some fresh air. Apparently this Red-tailed Hawk felt the same way! The sunshine was wonderful for a change.

When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day)

Dordtse Biesbosch
The part of the Biesbosch that borders the city of Dordrecht. It is located between the Sliedrechtse Biesbosch and the Hollandse Biesbosch. Although the Dordtse Biesbosch has largely an agricultural destination, it also contains several recreational areas which serves as the "playground" for the people of Dordrecht.
To celebrate
those last quiet moments each day
Happy Earth Day my friends

As I was sitting there in the old garden greenhouse at B sori, there were many beautiful butterflies fluttering around me and outside the greenhouse.
How beautiful and vibrant they are I thought to myself, it made me think about how in many ways they can be seen as a symbol or reflection of life in itself.
The Butterflies were hovering above the vegetation spreading their wings, and gliding so graciously toward the flowers, the trees and light in the distance.
It also made me reflect about how fragile butterflies are, as life is too, it comes and it goes so quickly. Time is precious, therefore we must remember to enjoy what life and nature has to offer. We have to embrace each day before it flutters away just like the butterfly.

What good is that happy lie?
All you wanted from the start was to cry.
It looks like another fall
Your friends, they don't seem to help at all
Now when you're feeling kind of cold and small
Just look up your rainy day man
(James Taylor 1968)
It's Earth Day today April 22nd 2023 and I thought I'd upload something to mark this day, and what could be more appropriate than Asha on the beach with her earth beach ball. Earth Day is an annual event that aims to inspire awareness of and appreciation for our environment. There are two different observances of Earth Day, both held annually during spring in the northern hemisphere. The United Nations celebrates Earth Day each year on the vernal (March) equinox; while a global observance in many countries is held each year on 22 April.
Facts about Earth
Age: 4.6 billion years old (Life as we know it, has only existed on the planet for the last 150 million to 200 million years)
Position: 3rd planet from the sun.
Size: 5th largest planet in our solar system.
Diameter: The Earth has an average diameter of 12,742 kilometers. (7,926 miles)
Earth is the only planet in the Solar System to have water in its three states of matter: as a solid (ice), a liquid (sea, rain, etc.) and as a gas (clouds).
The length of time it takes for Earth to orbit the Sun is 365 and a quarter days. To make up this extra quarter which isn't counted at the end of a year, we have an extra day every four years on 29th February.
Earth travels through space at 66,700 miles per hour.
Each morning sunrise is different and being at the right place at the right time can glorify the beginning of your day.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and happy day dear Flickr friends !

We've been watching 'Emily in Paris' so I thought it was time to put the souvenir to use. It's pure fluff, perfect for dark days and Paris looks beautiful.
Plant a tree, today, April 29, is Arbor Day! 🌳🌲🌴
Arbor Day (or Arbour in some countries) is a secular day of observance in which individuals and groups are encouraged to plant trees. Today, many countries observe such a holiday. Though usually observed in the spring, the date varies, depending on climate and suitable planting season.
“Listen to the trees as they sway in the wind.
Their leaves are telling secrets. Their bark sings songs of olden days as it grows around the trunks. And their roots give names to all things.
Their language has been lost.
But not the gestures.”
― Vera Nazarian

“Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once. Breathe. You’re strong. You got this. Take it day by day.” – Karen Salmansohn
A good day to be sitting in a coffee shop watching pedestrians and slow traffic. In downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Dedicated to all the victims of the insane and (un)intentional fire in a immigrant detention camp in the northern border Mexico, to the victims of the another crazy school shooting in the USA, and to all the innocent bystanders of the crazy wars.
Do they know it is spring yet?
"Oh, it's just another day
It's just another day on Earth
Oh, it's just another day
Just another day
It's just another day on Earth
Oh, it's just another day on Earth
It's just another day on Earth
One day, we will put it all behind
We'll say that was just another time
We'll say that was just another day on Earth
We'll say that was just another time
One day, we will put it all behind
We'll say that was just another day on Earth
Just another day
It's just another day
Oh, it's just another day on Earth
It's just another day on Earth"
Brian Eno: youtu.be/8oxNGbP0HFI
All Saints' Day (Latin Sollemnitas Omnium Sanctorum) is a Christian feast commemorating all the saints, the "glorified members of the Church who have already reached perfection," both known and unknown. The feast is celebrated in the Western Church on November 1, and in the Orthodox Churches on the first Sunday after Pentecost.
Many people visit the graves of their relatives on this day and the following All Souls' Day. All Souls' Day in the Catholic Church is the day of remembrance for all the deceased. It is a widespread custom to decorate the graves with lights on these days.
On the eve, October 31, in the United States and many countries of Europe folk customs are celebrated Halloween. The word Halloween is derived from the English term All Hallows Eve, the liturgical eve of All Saints' Day. In its current form, which has come back from North America, it has taken on a highly commercialized and secularized form.
So today my minds are with my father! He past away almost 2 years ago.
You past away but my memories still are here. And a person is just gone if we do not think about him anymore. Soon, the 14th of November is your Birthday and i keep our lifetime moments in my heart!
Tracks in the sand
One night I had a dream:
I was walking along the sea with my master.
Against the dark night sky
shone, like streaks of light,
images from my life.
And each time I saw two footprints in the sand,
my own and my master's.
When the last image passed my eyes
I looked back.
I was startled to discover
that in many places of my life's journey
there was only a trace to be seen.
And those were the hardest times of my life.
Concerned, I asked the Lord:
"Lord, when I began to follow you,
you promised me
to be with me in all my ways.
But now I discover
that in the hardest times of my life
there is only a trace in the sand.
Why did you leave me alone
when I needed you most?"
Then he answered, "My dear child,
I love you and will never leave you alone,
especially in times of need and difficulty.
There, where you have seen only a trace
you have seen,
I have carried you."
Thank you for visits, comments and favs!

Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine
I need to laugh and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about
I feel good in a special way
I'm in love and it's a sunny day
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine
We take a walk, the sun is shining down
Burns my feet as they touch the ground
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine
Then we'd lie beneath the shady tree
I love her and she's loving me
She feels good, she knows she's looking fine
I'm so proud to know that she is mine.
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine
Good day...
Day lilies are so called because each flower opens for one day, then closes. But they are beautiful!
Thank you for looking! Isn't God a great artist?
Just when it seemed like spring was very close, Mother Nature had other plans and, suddenly, the world was transformed to a snowy wonderland. Even though this snow was unwelcome, I still couldn't help but be thrilled as the snowflakes blanketed my backyard in silent white.
"A snow day literally and figuratively falls from the sky - unbidden - and seems like a thing of wonder."

One Fine Day - The Chiffons
One fine day, you'll look at me
And you will know our love was meant be
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl
The arms I long for will open wide
And you'll be proud to have me right by your side
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl
Though I know you're the kind of boy
Who only wants to run around
I'll be waiting and someday darling
You'll come to me
When you want to settle down, oh
One fine day, we'll meet once more
Then you'll want the love, you threw away before
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl
