Looking like the Maestro conducting an orchestra, this Blue-winged Teal actually was facing off with a Coot that was harassing him.
Many birds spread their wings in this manner to dry them. However, I have observed this behavior in many bird species as a show of dominance, when facing a competitor, immediately after a mating, when confronting a foe, or when feeling threatened.
¡Dónde podré encontrar,
dentro de tanto bullicio,
adentrándome al mercado
a ese Jesús que ha nacido
en un pequeño Portal!
Anda un poquito y busca
que todo camino lleva
allà donde siempre encuentras
un pozo de remanso y paz.
Jasper has been conducting a local orchestra for a while now.
Last night, they performed a Vivaldi concerto. Brought tears to my eyes. Down at the civic center, Jasper is simply known as Maestro. We're very proud of him.
Jasper comes from a rather musical background. His registered AKC (American Kennel Club) name is Artisan the Music Man. And his human mother is a pianist. So there's no small surprise that music is a big part of his life
The night reveals its fog where it clings to the cold of the darkness.
As a fire awakens in the east and awaits the cock to rise.
On his dias the maestro raises his arms to conduct the dawn chorus.
And waits for the perfect moment, balancing harmony between night and day
On a single note when he starts to play us into a new and beautiful day

(and a bit of unpoetic nonsense from me)
Sunset storm light slices across the Lake Range behind that 'tree'. A little precipitation catches the light just before the sun disappears for the day.

Happy Monochrome Bokeh Thursday :)

A maestro cortador it's an skilled person who specialize in ham slicing. It's kind of an art, the target is to slice the ham (usually 5J) as thin and fast as possible,
A chance pairing lead to some impromptu fiddling with camera and angles - whilst trying to ignore looks of bemusement from passers by!

SÃ, es él. Oteando y meditando sobre la nueva foto. Sin prisas pero con mucha intención. Y luego, claro, asà son las cosas.
The last Northern Harrier shot for a while, I promise. I really like the bird's wing position and the contortion to the body in this image. The Harrier quickly put the brakes on in mid-flight as it evidently spotted something in the field below. View large for best experience.
Thanks for Stopping By~
Cansada iba MarÃa
buscando dónde alumbrar
a Aquel que ella llevaba,
sin encontrar un lugar.
José que la acompaña
no sabe dónde acampar,
y pregunta, y requiere
un lugar donde calmar
el cansancio y los dolores
que comienzan a saltar.
Los maestros belenistas
representan y dan vida
paso a paso el buen Natal.
Y nos dejan silenciosos
su trabajo y gran cuidado
que ponen en cuanto hacen,
para contarnos un hito,
sencillo y universal,
que acerca rasgos y vida
a quien le plazca mirar.
A re-run from 2020. A lone Sandhill crane spent the entire winter at a nature reserve in Pennsylvania. At night it flew across the road and rested, and dined, with the sheep in the nearby farm.
This amazing tufted duck was posing so beautiful. In this photo it reminds me on a conductor giving an imaginary orchestra his support
