It was exactly on time cosmically. The photo of the dock speaks thoughtful volumes to me. The merganser with their reflection is a close winner. And the golden sunrise dancing on the water.
And the detail of the flicker feathers. And, and, and . . .
Have had visits of swallowtails in my garden meadow.
You find and capture the drops of beauty so well! I spent an hour yesterday watching barn swallows fly under a bridge, trying to capture them on camera. Although it was a failure, just trying to grab a shot like yours made it very enjoyable. The shadows and reflections on the water are incredible. Thank you for showing us this beauty.
Thank you David! Flying under a bridge would be hard! I tried that with cliff swallows and just about the time I'd catch the focus they'd disappear. Definitely easier when I have more open air and water.
Beautiful images Karen. I like those last 2 photos of the Barn Swallows. The second one of the Barn Swallow is interesting to see how they are using their tail feathers to maneuver and steer. Such great flyers! Thanks for sharing.
That was lovely. Just what I needed. Thank you.
I'm so glad, thank you Dawn.
peace received. thank you! some corners of the world hold down others.
And then I needed it myself today (for more minor and somewhat self inflicted reasons). I'm glad I could send some peace - to all of us!

Tried to decide which pic was my favorite but the answer is all of them are my fav!!!
Thank you Linda!
The photo of the deck, oh my goodness, beautiful!
Thank you Sue!
Thank you, Karen. I'm seeing these photos as a typhoon passes by Tokyo. So lovely to see such calm and beautiful images.
Oh gosh, wishing you safety and calm Jeffrey!
Thanks, Karen. The typhoon brought a lot of rain but not too much drama. It's moved on and strong sunshine prevails.
Glad to hear it!
Love the flicker pic! The feather patterns and the way they are being displayed And you catching it so perfectly!
Thank you Sandy!
Looks like the butterfly has a wee parasol in hand...
Always beautiful.
Yes! Isn't that so funny? Thanks Alison!
And I once again forgot to schedule and just sent it. Oops! At least it was on 12 hours early this time.
