WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY Birds seen near Jura Island, Scotland

Last week I show cased the wonderful photographs of Martin Blackmore from the I.O.W and today as I did not see any birds on the car rally that I attended, I am showing you photographs of Sean Hennessy with his permission.  He took these when he was on a boat on the way to visit Jura, an island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland.  An island I hope to visit next year.

I hope you enjoyed seeing these great photographs of Sean and I thank you for giving us the pleasure of seeing them.

I hope to be able to go on this trip next year.

A Whale of a Love Story

This video is 8 minutes long; I wouldn't share it if it weren't worth your time.  I found it so moving, and I feel on St Valentines' day, that you heart also will be touched by the love and gratitude that this magnificent mammal showed after being rescued from death.

The beauty of nature, the fragility of our existence on planet Earth, and the awesomeness of photography and technology is shown in this incredible story.
