Good morning.

Back in the early 1960s, at the Naval Base in Yokosuka, Japan, there was a park near the seawall that held a special place in our hearts. The centerpiece of the park was the remains of an old airplane, with a slide extending from the back. We affectionately nicknamed it "The Seaplane" and spent countless hours there, letting our imaginations soar. Of course, this makeshift jungle gym would never meet today’s safety standards—sharp edges and all. Yet, despite the potential hazards, we all managed to walk away with just stories to tell and memories to cherish. Remarkably, children would venture to the park on their own, drawn to the charm of The Seaplane by the seawall. It was a different era, full of adventure and freedom.
"In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sometimes I wish I were an angel
Sometimes I wish I were you
Sometimes I wish I were an angel
Sometimes I wish I were you
(when you order an angel on wish)

Chick of a graylag goose 
The graylag goose (Anser anser) is the second largest goose in Europe with a length of up to 90 cm and a wingspan of up to 180 cm. It feeds on plants and is a migratory bird. Küken einer Graugans Die Graugans (Anser anser) ist mit bis zu 90 cm Länge und einer Spannweite von bis zu 180 cm die zweitgrößte Gans Europas. Sie ernährt sich von Pflanzen und ist ein Zugvogel.
"Do you see this creepy guy over there watching us, mum?"
"Don't stare at him Dewey! That's rude!"
Had a visit from a couple of greylag geese. Last year we had a Canada goose pair nesting but never seen greylags here before.
Hatte gehofft, Gänseküken vor die Linse zu bekommen. Dafür muss ich wohl in 5 Wochen wiederkommen.
"Surfin' is the only life, the only way for me
Now surf
Surf with me
I got up this mornin', turned on my radio (Ooh, surfin')
I was checkin' out the surfin' scene to see if I would go (Ooh, surfin')
And when the DJ tells me that the surfin' is fine (Ooh, surfin')
That's when I know my baby and I will have a good time
We're goin' surfin', surfin'
Surfin', surfin', surfin'
Surfin', surfin', surfin'"
