Five of these photos were taken here in Las Vegas, the other five were all taken back home in Michigan. For me, these are two very different worlds. Very different lifestyles both with their own good and bad aspects. Sometimes it’s still difficult for me to stay here in Las Vegas but I do know that I wouldn’t be as happy back in Michigan as I am down here in the desert southwest. Truly, two different worlds in my view. Partly sunny and 61 kind of warm degrees are in store for the valley today, not too bad but I’ll probably not be riding the bike later today since I have a doctor’s appointment later today. Now, what’s for breakfast this morning?
Great pictures, as always. I’m curious to know what you decided on for breakfast though.
I agree with you on coots. I am charmed, too, with grebes and how their babies ride on their mother’s back. The courtship ritual of the Western grebe is an amazing thing to witness in the wild! https://youtu.be/-O8_DMfPJus
Joh, all moments are great in your collage. I couldn’t take my eyes from photos #6, 7, 8. They are fabulous, unique and very compelling.
Wow, thank you again, Kaya! You are so kind! ❤️🌹
After looking at your photos, I’m getting a new appreciation for coots.
Coots? They are cute, make a cute chirping sound and seem to have difficulty getting air born.
As far as waterfowl go, they seem to be at the bottom of the “pecking order.” If there were a caste system for ducks, they’d be near the bottom, but they are funny to watch and your pictures of them have been really nice.
Aww thanks, Anneli! I like your analogy of these little birds, Coots have the weirdest looking feet! But ducks are so cute and sweet! ❤️
This is the part where you need to decide if you are happier alone or near your family.
Oh I’m fine here by myself. Family is only 3.5 hours away via aircraft! I’ll be back up there in April or May which will be wonderful.
