Baby Robin sent to cheer me

Whilst we were clearing and thinning out one of our big ponds today, of duckweed and marsh marigolds,  a sweet little baby robin came to visit. I thought firstly that it was a baby bunting......and thought, yes, cry baby bunting. But when I checked online could see that it's a baby robin...

Great night last night, June 7th

8 months tomorrow 9th June 2014

He's the best thing that's happened to me since the birth of my son!

Eight months tomorrow since we got it together........and we get happier and happier..............

It's so wonderful to fall in love in the October of our lives.....and it's not just me having all the luck. My girlfriend in Oz phoned me this week and said she's fallen madly in lust at the grand old age of 70.  She said after a fallow 10 years of zilch on the man-front, she met a bloke last October and they've been at it like rabbits.......DAILY!!!! lol.......
And then my lovely Susie, who is not as Autumnal as me in age.....I've known her since she was 17.......met the man of her dreams last July and is ensconced and majorly in love with him........(and him her........Yes, we're ALL in reciprocal relationships)
And there's the FB friend, whom I've yet to meet although we have made various plans when she's in London visiting her grandchildren but I've usually had to cancel......Well SHE has met someone and fallen hook, line and sinker.
OOh and there's another one but I'm totally sworn to secrecy over it...:) SO........all good all round. Be happy, be forgiving, expect the best and the best will appear.

Ladybird popping........what is it?

I filmed this rather large ladybird on our pond yesterday..........

When I'd downloaded the footage I found that it did a large 'POP' when it threw out its back leg-wing type thing. 

Any insect people out there know what it was actually doing and why? 
If you know please leave a message on my Youtube page.

Here's the Youtube vid, plse click here to view:

Maya Angelou......an excellent mind......RIP

It's one of the greatest gifts you can give 

yourself, to forgive. Forgive everybody.

Flamingos dancing and flying

My new filmette. Had only a small window to film the flamingos and wanted to catch one in flight.
My vid camera doesn't have a viewfinder so it makes it extra tricky. Very proud of the fact that I managed to track one.

Shot in the South of France...........
