♫ ♬Clean Bandit - Rather Be ♫ ♬

I'm often very difficult to see

I like to sit and watch quietly

sometimes maybe up in a tree

often somewhere special . . .

waiting my moment consciously

when I look around here and there

cameras I see from afar and near

don't think I don't notice . . .

for indeed I do

watch your back, sides and front

I'm still active

I might just surprise you !

my legs are crossed my paws too

expression intent

yes I'm watching you

don't be fooled by my elegance too

I'm a quick mover

watch out all of you !

It is said that the American Avocet brings elegance in the bird world to a new level. This image taken in the mangroves of the Ten Thousand Islands in SW Florida highlights this.

I took this at Longwood Gardens, Kennett Square, PA on a beautiful spring day.

Thank you so much for viewing, faving, commenting my images

the blue crane or paradise crane (anthropoides paradiseus) is one of the most "elegant" african birds.

this crane is unfortunatly becoming rare as population is drastically reduced in last years.

the last important population is now in western and eastern cape of south africa.

i got this photo around the corn fields of swellendam ,western cape

“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.” - Audrey Hepburn

I was drawn to horses as if they were magnets. It was in my blood. I must have inherited from my grandfather a genetic proclivity toward the equine species. Perhaps there's a quirk in the DNA that makes horse people different from everyone else, that instantly divides humanity into those who love horses and the others, who simply don't know.

― Allan J. Hamilton

I'm one of those who loves horses. These beauties are Andalusian horses at Farm Ventures in Roberts Creek, BC.

It seems to me as if this monarch "dances" around from flower to flower. There's an inherent beauty and elegance to these butterflies. This one was photographed at Great Meadows in Concord.

I liked it pink but I think I like it better toned.

A beautiful rendering of my avatar from an amazing artist.

I love it so much.

Beautiful white rose closing to the moment when beauty departs, getting older in a beautiful way. It's life...

In my opinion, the American Avocet has to be one of the most elegant wading birds. Taken at Frank Lake, Alberta in breeding colors.
