The last two photos were taken on the same day but thousands of kilometres apart. My son in London, England was very pleased to come across these three Canada Geese goslings in his neighbourhood park (last photo) and I was delighted to come upon a family of Canada Geese on my walk this morning in our neighbourhood park.

If you’d like to join Thursday Trios you have all week to find photos of ‘threes’. Just copy my link and paste it into your post and I’ll get a ping back. Have fun.

Last on the Card – April 2021

thanks to Bush Boy for hosting this monthly challenge https://bushboy.blog/2021/05/01/last-on-the-card-april-2021/

The last photo on my Lumix Panasonic is a shot at my bird feeder. I try to keep my camera with the zoom lens close by so that when an interesting bird comes by I can capture it at the feeder. It’s harder than it looks because any little movement, even on the other side of the glass scares them off.

I Immediately Saw a Pig

….after laying down random splashes of watercolour

Once I saw the pig I couldn’t get him out of my mind so I knew that I had to include him in my next intuitive art piece. After I drew the pig I started to see other animals and of course more flowers appeared.
