Here's my heart--take it!
I don't care.
Tear it up--stomp on it!
I carry a spare.

Sunrise over Lake Ontario. These rocks are normally surrounded by the water but at the moment they are surrounded by thick ice.

For the Alt #BirdoftheDay theme today, here is an #Urban beach scene involving a whole lot of #RoyalTerns and a few #LaughingGulls.

The main theme is #OddCouples, two different birds in one capture.

Wishing you a lovely Tuesday💫

For an all too brief moment, a giraffe is enveloped in a sea of golden light, a short-lived respite from the harsh, arid and unforgiving land it calls home. Somewhere in wonderful Namibia.
