lefthand exercise

Left hand exercise

Doing things lefthanded, seems to activate your right brain, 

which seems to connect to your creativity and intuition.

Doing thing righthanded seems to activate your left brain.

which is connected to your logical analytic reasoning.

I now try to make some deep tracks to my right brain side...

to make something good out of a bad situation.

Doing all things lefthanded, is not so easy.

But a little something is better than no thing at all.

Broken arm

So sorry to let you now,
last saterday I fell in the supermarket, stumbling over someone else's wheel of the shoppingcart. Smashed on the floor on my elbow.
X-rays sshowed 2 cracks in my bone.
Having a cast now, it is hard and difficult to draw or make photo's, because it is my right arm.
Typing with my left hand works. for now,
but making photo's I need both hands
Anyway it will be a bit more silent on my blog, because of this.
As soon as possible I will continue.

Feastmeal

A Song Trush is having his feastmeal on my doorstep.

So now and than I hear a high pitch banging and a ticking sound.
When I look...I see him knocking on a snail's housedoor.
The snail is saying he is not at home.
Then the ticking sound comes in.

Yeh and then afterwards I may clean up the dishes.

Drinking deep

This is what I waited for a long time to happen.
I saw it happen more than once, but then I had no camera to capture the happening.
So funny, makes me smile.

Life is better with friends

Recently I got a card from a friend.
Its such a lovely card.
How these two totaly different cats are walking together.

I also wonder how lucky the photographer must have been, to catch them so beautifully at one pace, tails so friendly together.

Clover

On my knees, low perspective.
In the grass is much more than grass alone.
There are growing lots of white clover.
And because it is dry and the grass not growing very fast, the clover started to blossem.
Everywhere are those little lights shining between the greens

Blackbird

Blackbird on birds

Sort of bird, but then different

At first sight, you would think there is a bird in the feedingtray.
At least I did, but when I looked again, it walked differently...
Quickly sneaking away in a sort of dribble, mounth full of pieces of cracker that were overdate.

Young blue-tit

So now and than, I see little young birds coming along, having a peek if there is something to eat or going for a bath.
The young blue tits, are not so blue yet as their parents.

Blackbird expressions

Blackbird expressions, in between singing a song.

invisible ladybird

I found this ladybird almost invisible taking a nap.

Busy feeding

 

The robins are very busy feeding their young in the open.
Everywhere and nowhere sits one of the 6 young...begging for food.

I can hear them yelling&chirping sometimes, but seeing...no...they are perfectly hidden away under bushes and shrubs or maybe in trees.
One time I noticed the robinmother or father...taking a little timeout on a branch.
Eyes closing just a little moment.

Nestbox inspection

 

Today I did nestbox inspection in some of the birdhouses.
Most of the birds have taken their wings and the boxes are left with an empty nest.
Although some were not completely empty.
Its always fun to see the nests inside.
Lots of fluffy stuff, made of what?
Fluffy hair...but also colored spots of wool material, beautiful yellows oranges,and purples.
If you click the images, you have a better view.
I found a nest with a left alone egg and a nest with even two eggs.
I think they both are eggs from the coal-tits.

I even found that one nest with young inside!
I had not noticed that the bird was still breeding, or even had a nest inside.
I my opinion it was not even used...
So I shut down the box as soon as possible, hoping I did not disturb the parents.

Pigeon bathing

It's always a lovely sight, when a pigeon is going bathing.
He drops his head under the water, eyes closed...but sometimes he leans too far forward and almost tumbles into the water.
He almost did.
Mostly that happens so quickly...I have not yet pics of that happening.
But I will catch up one day with that.
This morning he was rather stable on the edge of the water, just a little bit off.
He one time swam over to the other side....so funny!
