Best things you’ve seen

Like you, though not as harrowing by any stretch of the imagination, the birth of my children. 😍

Shortly after my first daughter was born, can't remember how many minutes, I was served coffee, sponge cake and a hyacinth in a vase. It was such a wonderful thing , I felt I had returned to life.

May 2013 I was flying from Moscow to Novosibirsk in Siberia. It was a particularly clear sky at 37,000 feet and out of my seat window I captured a stunning vista of the moon above the horizon.

Here’s the contentious thing; I could make out the curvature of the earth! I got the photo with the horizon dead centre of the optical axis and when drawing a line from edge to edge the horizon is on fact visible curved on the photo.

Some beautiful sights while flying that's for sure, remember having a flight from London to Beijing, I always take an aisle seat now, get claustrophobic at the window but went for a walk around and looked out of the window to see a sea of snow covered mountains for as far as you could see, truly breathtaking.

I think one of the best gigs I ever saw was Midnight Oil in 2003 a few shows prior to their hiatus beginning [so that Peter Garrett could get elected to the Australian parliament].

The best thing I've seen recently is the little group getting some of their own medicine thrown back at them. It has been enjoyable to watch. 😉 They don't seem to receive as well as they dish it out.

Birds introducing their new Spring fledglings to the snack bar in my garden.

Garden birds in general are a special pleasure in life.

I saw a red breasted robin yesterday! It was just walking around in the front yard. I went to my friend google to look what it may mean. This is what I got.

"Above all, the robin red-breast is a symbol of spring song and good fortune. Additionally, it also symbolizes passion, a new beginning, and re-birth. Therefore, if the bird flies into your life you will be blessed with happiness and joy".

The grass is riz

The boid is on de wing
But dats obsoid
De wings is on de boid.

Its a conspiracy. The Earth is flat. Or it just be the normal curvature of a wide angle lens.

The robin was voted the the national bird of the UK some years ago. A wonderful choice though I must confess that I voted for the blackbird. Some females have a beautiful chestnut dapple to their breast and they are a beautiful shape with a strong pointed beak with which they can overturn small stones to find worms and grubs. They are my favourite bird.
