What’s so special about a junk noticed by chance
along the way? the bystander stops there,
likewise the photographer and the painter,
well ready to make a picture of it.
Not its present condition, I do believe, unless
we admit to be under the spell of the old
and discarded. Nor can it be its former
appearance, which we can only guess.
What if it is the pleasure felt at someone else’s misfortune?

White Ibis, Eudocimus albus. Drooling with anticipation? Perched on the observation deck in Wetlands at Riverstone--a tiny, lovely, wholly artificial wildlife and botanical refuge, which was surely mandated by local flood control requirements for construction of new residential and commercial development. The bird and the pond are both perched high above neighboring Steep Bank Creek.
Bears in the woods do it, birds do it, neither can be blamed for human interruption and replacement of natural recycling systems and habitats. Hope you will pause for a moment to ponder humanity's role in our shared ancestor, the biosphere.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

… an abyss of utter inhumanity and mass murder. The sort of abysmal crime that makes every silent bystander complicit of this carnage.
Same comment as for the last upload goes for this one, too… I spare you the rant this time.
During these shootings the young man excitedly called the bystanders' attention to the extraordinary progress his sister had made. His naivety was disarming.
That one was taken in one of the most popular Prague must-visit bars in any tourist's diary, Café de Paris, which came to me as a cosy, cute and delicious rescue after freezing cold misty streets of Prague on that pre-xmas evening of a few years ago, just as my post-stroll blustery bites started melting down and the spirit(s) started getting higher...
Disclaimer: I was but a plain innocent bystander with a camera in hands ... I promise :)))
Wishing you a wonderful weekend with many simple pleasures of life, my friends !
This morning....
Sand Hill Cranes forage for seeds and roots, crop plants such as corn and peanuts, insects, snakes, frogs and occasionally young birds or small mammals. This is one of these moments, where the Sand Hill Crane is going for a Coot's chick. The chick's mom, made threatening sounds but the sounds did not dissuade the crane from going for the kill. Bystanders and photographers were gasping about this drama unfolding. The SH Crane was in the far distance and hardly getting agitated by the crowd.
Nature in its most dramatic moments!
Wikipedia: The name Kinderdijk is Dutch for "Children dike". During the Saint Elizabeth flood of 1421, the Grote Hollandse Waard flooded, but the Alblasserwaard polder stayed unflooded. It is said that when the terrible storm had subsided, someone went to the dike between these two areas to see what could be saved. In the distance he saw a wooden cradle floating on the water. As it came nearer, some movement was detected. A cat was seen in the cradle trying to keep it in balance by jumping back and forth so that no water could get into it. As the cradle eventually came close enough to the dike for a bystander to pick up the cradle, he saw that a baby was quietly sleeping inside it, nice and dry. The cat had kept the cradle balanced and afloat. This folktale and legend has been published as "The Cat and the Cradle" in English.[1]Kinderdijk pumps water to keep the land from flooding.

While everything in Dhaka was out of another world for me, I must have had the same effect on many locals.
A bystander in Oamaru where about fifty actors in Victorian costume had gathered and were having a group photo last Friday. This lady was just watching I guess dressed for a slightly later era. Some streets of Oamaru are still Victorian and used for movies at times. It is 70 miles/115 km north of our city. With a population of 13,850, Oamaru is the 28th largest urban area in New Zealand, and the third largest in Otago behind Dunedin and Queenstown.
Have a good weekend now you know that. :)
Doing every bit of speed it can on the TCW main, the 261 crew put on a show for the bystanders, including some wheelslip, whether it was intentional or not.
Basically straight out of camera, no bystanders were harmed or surgically removed without their knowledge in the production of this image! ;) It is what it was, and it sure was a little beauty!
A beautiful statue depicting a forlorn-looking native American slumped over his horse stands in the middle of a large reflection pool with the wedding chapel in the background at the incredibly beautiful Top of the Rock in Hollister (near Branson, Missouri).
I found that using a prime lens instead of a telescopic one forced me to move around more... thus enabling me to get the sun in this position and capture the starbursts that appear in this shot. I do miss having a telescopic lens for the Nikon, though...

Once or Twice a month someone who lives in the city disappears. No reliable bystanders have been available to provide the Police or FBI with any helpful information.
One individual was interviewed and told the authorities a fantastic tale of two buildings (one with stairway and one with fire escape) coming together to capture someone. The individual said the person captured had a hoodie on and he was not sure whether it was a man or a woman. This individual was sent to a psychiatric hospital for intense treatment starting with shock therapy.

There’s no way to mirror the text, but I was able to mirror this Little Blue Heron. I’ll admit that is was actually the water that did it and that I was just a bystander. Little Blue Heron captured on Horsepen Bayou.

more tribute to the Bubs....here he is on one of our first outings together after adoption where we were testing his history of bolting and excitability around other animals. nothing happened at the creemie stand but later he bolted at the local supermarket, caught a neighborhood free-range chicken and displayed his male hunting prowess to another innocent pooch bystander. it was proof he wasn't aggressive with animals (yeah, with chickens) but i never took him in the car again. all the challenges were worth his amazing loyalty, intuitive brainpower, sweetness around children and mailmen, affectionate thigh blocking, and gazing at the stars and swaying trees out in the backyard. and that's how we ended it together.

Make the most of your days and give thanks for your surroundings. Warm summer days don’t last forever but memories do. Make memories daily no matter what season it is. Laugh, play and enjoy the life you live. Life seems short at times so why not make the very best of it every day. What can you do today to make someone smile, better yet even laugh. Don’t be a life bystander. Enjoy each day with friends, family or a neighbor. Thanks for viewing my photos. Gratitude and Kindness are your witness to your enjoying life to the fullest.

The water in the river rushing out of the swamp. Rocks like innocent bystanders watch silently. from the bank. A blue sky with wispy clouds. Tall trees scrape the top. The journey begins here On the way to Heron Pond to see the lily pads, the cypress trees with its heaps of knees, and the floating green duck weed.
