Seen in a nearby pond, a Common Snapping Turtle (a very large one) that caused two geese to scatter as it approached.

Delicate lighting and no contrasting colours. Delightful!

Thank you, Ian!

Beautiful pieces of nature.
I went indoors to a "mapping" exhibition in Madrid. The artist is trying to make awareness about environmental problems.

The death of Prince Philip was enough for pretty much all BBC TV coverage to be cancelled on Friday evening, replaced by programs about his life

Not enough wind to make it clear the flag is flying half mast, but snow on the hills all around

Thank you, Tom.  I chose to convey the sense of abundance by throwing the background out of focus.

April is known to be fickle weather-wise in my country, and this ancient insight was demonstrated yet again when I woke up this morning to a complete white-out and strong wind gusts.

That looks extremely cold, Birna.

It's here snowing too, now and then, during very cold showers.  Yesterday evening suddenly a small sun came through the clouds.
