This morning’s bike ride & sunrise .. no filter just lens flare with slight fog
My son is the only freshman starter on his lacrosse team. Despite the fact that he is 6' tall and bigger than some seniors, he sometimes feels nervous playing with the older kids. If you know lacrosse, he plays close defense (long stick). I've noticed in his games that he often gives his man a wide berth and kids on other teams (and some, but not all of his teammates) tend to go after the offensive player. I don't think he was doing it "wrong" per se; he also would keep an eye on the field at the same time. But I know only as much lacrosse as I need to, watching as a mom for the past eight years, not as a player, so I did honestly wonder if it was a strategy from his coaches. He told me he was just apprehensive about doing something wrong and then being reprimanded by the older players on his team.
But yesterday he decided I had made a good point and he decided to play more aggressively. He would not let up on his opponents and his coach remarked after the game how well he had played. (He is in the white uniform pushing the kid with the ball in this photo.) I have a series of 24 images in a row from this play of him chasing this kid (who plays with him on his club team in the off season), just not letting up. I'm still always nervous about him getting injured, but since this is the position he plays, I was really proud of him.
So…
It’s the FBI that have planted a bug once again😁

We call ours Robins. We call your fake Robins. We have a couple who live in our garden all year. Hoping for babies again soon!

Glad to see someone else likes cloud pics. They're amazing subjects, putting on a show right over our heads
Not if you leave it as long as I did
DeWalt cordless. Lovely hard working mower 😊

In Western Canada sighting the first Robin, is usually a harbinger of the first spring blizzard.
BTW said blizzard is underway as I type.

Walking to and from work always gives me time to stop and watch the spring work
mystery object in the sky:
Noticed it while getting the washing in. Pics were taken with my iphone mini so not the best, with the second one zoomed in.
It was kinda eerie..as for a long time it hadn't appeared to movie.
A weather balloon perhaps..but today with satellites..who would still use those??

I am originally from upstate NY and Lilacs were also my favorite. They don't have them down here in NC and I miss them terribly.
I am a tree climber that has pretty little white flowers, but don't let my beauty fool you, for I have a very harsh bite.
