Hi there,
I recently spotted this pair of dahlias at a local park. What caught my attention were the subtle colour variations within the petals.
Thank you for taking the time to view and for leaving me a comment. I do love hearing from you!
Have a wonderful day and week ahead!

I went to the Sandhill Crane Festival in Fairbanks, Alaska and was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting four days of rain but we had two nice afternoons of some sunshine otherwise it would have been disappointing for photograhy! One of the rainy evenings I was thrilled to see hundreds if not more than a thousand cranes arrive to Creamer's Field in Fairbanks. Here I've captured two cranes coming in to one of the fields to eat and rest for a bit on their migration south.

This pair is well practiced in flying in formation. It's hard to see from this photo but they were inches apart and perfectly synchronized in their wing movement. Beautiful to watch.

I ran into my pals again on a log at the edge of Lake Wylie in McDowell Nature Preserve, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. This angle really shows the beautiful colors and markings of these waterfowl.
Today is cloudy and very dark with no sky contrast but I saw our returning pair of eagles so needed to take their photo! This pair has been coming back each year for at least 10 years now to the same nest. Today I saw SEVEN eagles so I guess they have all returned. :)

This majestic pair of eagles has a nearby nest with chicks getting nearly as big as the adults. Full grown juveniles look larger than their parents with larger wing feathers. Female adults are the largest in the family. . (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
Mottled Ducks are quite common in Florida. They sometimes breed with Mallards and hybrids form, much to the consternation of my biologist friend who is interested in preserving the Florida line. Here is a mated pair in flight. You can tell the male is in the foreground by his brighter yellow bill. The female's bill is more orange and duller.
I just looked up the Latin name and I'm almost jealous. How'd you like to be named "Anas fulvigula"? Not great: "Hey Anas, get a load of this!" Great: "Hey, Fulvigula, get a load of this!" :)

I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

Bempton Cliffs
The Black-legged kittiwake, to give it its proper name, (Rissa tridactyla),Breed on cliffs in the summer months and spend the rest of their time at sea on the Atlantic.
The population is declining in some areas, partly due to a shortage of sandeels as a consequence of overfishing and climate change.
I did go looking for Wood Ducks on this day, but of course couldn't pass on this fast-cruising pair of Mandarins. They were in and out of shade, which sort of accounts for my ridiculous EXIF settings. These exotics, likely descended from caged escapees, show up during our SoCal winters. As you can see, the female looks a lot like a female wood duck, and they were mixed in with the wood ducks I was hoping to find.
