Today I think I will keep things light hearted. This morning, I am up early as I am nervous and can't sleep any longer. I have to go and recertify for my Advanced Cardiac Life Support(ACLS). I have been studying for just over a week. Last night I did the pretest and got 95% so I am feeling pretty good about it. But with any test I freak out. Even when I know I know the answer to a question there are times I second guess myself. The ACLS has both a written and practical component to it. I don't know what worries me the most, being tested by a doctor in front of my colleagues or writing the test. I just have to keep telling myself "I can do this" And just to add to my nervousness, the place where I have to perform the test is about 60 km away, it's being held at one of the colleges, a place I have never been to before. So, I am a little freaked about leaving enough time to get there and find the room I am suppose to go to. So wish me luck!
Now on the lighter side of things. I thought I would share a little bit of nature with you. The other morning my hubby was out in the yard and looking at the garden when he spotted this butterfly fluttering around my flowers. So he got out his camera and here is what he saw......
Then at the beginning of then month when we were down in Victoria watching our daughters field hockey games, we spotted the most unusual thing going on up on one of the stadiums light posts.......
Do you see the size of that nest.....and the little head peaking out?.......
Well here comes mom to feed them.....do you see that she is carrying something in her claws....
She lands to feed the babies......
Then dad arrives......
And here she is in all of her glory.....
When we first started to observe all of this, we thought it was an eagle....now that we have the photos to compare we believe it to be an Osprey. We observed all this whilst sitting on the sidelines......
Cameras are amazing aren't they....the things we can capture. Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Cheers

First of all good luck, you'll do fine.
Second amazing photo's kuddos to hubby for catching a shot so beautiful of the butterfly. I've been chasing a few around with no luck.
Awesome bird photos.
I had to take that class with my co-workers and supervisor in a hospital I worked for...the supervisor let a toot while doing the resperations and we never ever let her forget it lmbo!
Just don't eat beans before...teehee!
Those are awesome pics!
:)
Really some awesome pictures you all got there! Beautiful flowers and butterfly and the bird feeding its young - incredible!
Hang in there on the tests! You're on the right path by reinforcing yourself with saying I know this stuff and I can do it! You'll be ok, kiddo!
By now you'll have done the test and I've no doubt you did great!! I get so nervous too, though, when it comes to things like that...then after it's done you wonder why you were so nervous in the first place! Those butterfly pictures are just gorgeous!! I've seen an osprey nest once and it was absolutely huge...they had built it on top of of a power line post!! You really did get some terrific pictures of that one!! xox
Love your butterfly pics. Hope you did well on your test!
:)
Hope you did well on your exam.
Those are amazing shots of the butterfly!!! So crystal clear. And great shots of the ospreys and babes, too. Hope your test went well - I'm sure you passed with flying colours. :D
I think your right on the Osprey. I was thinking some kind of falcon at first. but intrigued I googled some pictures. Def. looks like a Osprey by the head :-)
Thanks for stopping by!
you know Erica...I think you were on the right track at first...I searched some more and it certainly does look like a falcon...a Peregrine falcon ....I querried the osprey...as generally the wingspan of the osprey is much larger.....thanks for making me take another look....
Great photos.....I love the butterfly the hubby took...bless his heart!
The bird (falcon/osprey) is quite amazing. Especially where they chose to nest!!!
Hugs!
Wishing you GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS on your test!!!
Let us know how it went.
And here's HUGS!!!!!!
