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!

This pair of Wood Ducks quickly skimmed over the long waterway that separates woodland and marsh at Lake St. Clair Metropark.

It's Monday. Enjoy the day~!
Taken the same day as my last post. They seemed very happy to greet each other. This went on for a minute or two. The female was already on the rocks with her ducklings when the drake arrived. He greeted the ducklings too, although not as enthusiastically. I suppose it could have been a adult child returning to visit its mother, I've seen juvenile, almost adult males do that. But I'd guess it was her mate. In any case, they definitely shared some affection. I felt double lucky to see it. It's my favorite thing to photograph. I know people who refuse to believe birds feel emotions, even though its plain as day that they do. And I just love to see them show it.

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!" :)
Nymphoides crenata, commonly known as wavy marshwort, is an aquatic perennial herb of the family Menyanthaceae endemic to Australia, found in all mainland states and the Northern Territory. It is a stoloniferous, floating, perennial with stems up to 3 m long. The petioles of the basal leaves are from 8–42 cm long. The leaf lamina are ovate to circular, and deeply cordate and vary from 3 to 15 cm in length. The stem leaves are smaller, and sometimes kidney-shaped. The flowers heterostylous, (see the gallery) and there can be from 8 to14 in clusters subtended by 1–4 stem leaves, or sometimes in spaced pairs along a short inflorescence. The calyx is from 5.5 to 16 mm long and the corolla from 20 to 50 mm in diameter. There are usually 4 lobes (sometimes 4 or 6) and there are usually 5 stigmas (but from 2-5). It grows on floodplains, in swamps, lagoons, irrigation channels, and also in temporarily inundated depressions, and in slow-flowing streams where the depth of the water is up to about 1.5 m deep, usually on mud, and it will persist on drying mud. 13171

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.
