Good Morning friends! Happy Tuesday! How are you? 🙋‍♂️

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.

In the foreground there is a cluster of rocks surrounded by thick ice and covered in snow. There is a small deciduous trees growing in between the rocks and there are branches of another tree to the left of the photo. On the horizon, there is a narrow strip of grey cloud and above that the sky is a mix of peach, orange and gold as the sun is about to appear. The colours in the sky are reflected on the lake water, turning it is shades of peach.

Today's alternative #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Urban birds. A male Eurasian Siskin on a feeder in an urban garden in south #Cheshire, England.

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.
