To fish, you need a lot of patience…
… and hope that, sooner or later, you’ll get lucky!

This synchronized team puts in a pretty impressive performance—
— and they leave the stage triumphantly!
Others are pretty good too…
but their synchronized diving still needs some work.
From a recent visit to St. Pete Beach, Florida.

This week’s Photo Challenge is Home.
On our kayak trips, we paddle past homes worth millions
as well as some that are modest, but offer incomparable views and fresh sea breezes—
Another Home post is here.

Last weekend at NYC’s Central Park Reservoir. An icy cold day. The Reservoir is mostly frozen over, leaving just a patch of open water where all of the Reservoir’s birds have congregated.
Johna surveys the panorama. (Click to enlarge any photo.)
Midtown Manhattan rises up beyond.
The birds are mostly Canada Geese and ducks, including some varieties that we’ve never noticed here before—they are probably from Canada, down for the winter. They paddle through the patch of open water, squabble, or just stand silently on the ice, beaks tucked into their back feathers, facing into the cold wind.
The blue shadows lengthen as the sun goes down, lighting up the East Side on the other side of the Reservoir with its last rays.
More photos are here.

This week’s Photo Challenge is Love.
And there’s one set of photos that comes to mind straight away :-)
Some of you have seen them before, and I apologize. I promise not to show them again (any time soon, anyway)… I guess I’ll have to find something else for Valentine’s Day!
The full set of photos is here.

Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Multiples.
I seem to recall that it was Couples just a few short weeks ago. And now it’s Multiples already? To be sure, it’s quite natural—

Here’s another response to Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week, Couples. (The first response was here.)
This was just one moment in a long, elaborate dance that this pelican couple performed for the camera…
You can just hear what these couples are saying to each other, can’t you?
