I think this is a Western grebe. Or a Clark’s. There was a pair together down by the water Saturday when it was stormy. They were fishing quite happily.
Together and then one dives.
It was hard to steady the zoomed camera in the wind. Here is without the zoom:
And both dived:
For Mundane Monday #183: getting ready.
This organized chaos is from 2010. I am thinking about parents and kids. Here we were getting ready for our yearly synchronized swim team show. This involves painting the hair to stay in place with thick very warm gelatin. We did that outside. It’s messy. Synchronized swimming might not be mundane to you but we all have times when we get ready or help others get ready.
My daughter is the one on the left: mom, you are bugging us.
Ready. Pretty much. With a little trepidation.
And ready hair.
And the whole team in the water, in the finale, hooray, we did it!

If you want to join in, I will list the entries next week.
For last week’s theme: kitchen close up:
KLAllendorfer with lots of lovely kitchen photographs.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: bask.
We got Princess Mittens and Boa Black at the same time, very different pound kittens. I was out with a complication of influenza (2003) and out for two months. My lungs were swollen and I just had to wait and rest until the swelling went down. Princess was killed by a car at age 10, but we still have Boa.
Princess was an expert at basking.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: bask.
Well, we were not warm in this picture…. it’s a basking position, but it certainly made me nervous. This is my son… GET OUT OF THERE! He wanted pictures. I took pictures quickly… OUT!
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: loose.
As the sun warms the air in the early morning, loose fog creeps over Indian Island.
For Norm2.0’s Thursday Doors.
Here is the Northwest Maritime Center in the early morning. I swear there are doors in this picture. Ok, more windows than doors.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: costume.
