Nach dem Rohrammerpaar ging es zum nächsten Gewässer (nach wie vor Wagbachniederung). Aus der Ferne hörten wir schon wildes Geplätscher. Ich mag ja Wasserspritzbilder 😁Also nix wie hin und da war er dann: Der Aggro-Schwan 🦢 Durch das viele Schilf vor dem Gewässer war es mir leider nicht möglich, die jagenden Gänse noch mit aufs Foto zu nehmen, da ich vom Schwan jeweils nur einen Ausschnitt verwenden konnte. Ich wünsche euch ein schönes Wochenende 🙋‍♀️

This amazing Kleiber (Eurasian Nuthatch) took its last perch on top of the now non-existent Garden Bird hide as it has been removed to be built in another position in the near future. Enjoying the warm afternoon sun, looking amazing is what this beautiful feathered friend loved and this is a fitting tribute to that perch. Have an amazing Saturday my dear friends, stay blessed and enjoy the weekend.

This handsome Eurasian Jay (Eichelhäher) seems to be reflecting on the year so far from one of the best perches in the Garden, overlooking the valley below, presenting amazing bokeh opportunities and gorgeous colors late in the afternoon / early evening. As this Handsome Jay does this, I too am reflecting on the year that was as I complete another tour around the sun, celebrating my 55th birthday today. Life is good...I have a beautiful wife, a gorgeous parcel of land for which I can photograph on, and 2 wonderful dogs. I have a great job and I live in an amazing country, Germany. Take time to reflect on what we have, not what we don't and life will be great. Have a great Friday my friends, stay safe and stay blessed.

This handsome Blaumeise (Bluetit) was doing a little dance on the tree branch when I captured this shot. He looks so playful and wanted to show me his dance moves. Nature is so fun and so amazing, if we just take the time to enjoy it. Be like this Blaumeise and do a little dance for spring is here. Have a great Tuesday my friends, stay safe and stay blessed.

This beautiful Blaumeise (Bluetit) looks like it is admiring the new leaves that have budded from the tree in our garden. Spring is here, the trees are blooming and the birds are active. One of my favorite times of the year, except for the allergies.... Be like this very beautiful Blaumeise and get out in Nature and watch it come alive. Hope you had a great weekend and here is to a wonderful Monday my friends, stay safe and stay blessed.
