This Great Horned Owlet was very drowsy, but opened it’s eyes just a bit when a car drove past. You should see how many photos I have of it’s eyes closed. Lol
I have been a long time believer that your birth position in a large family goes a long ways in defining many of your character traits. As the sixth cherub to make his appearance in our family, the birthing doctor told my mother I seemed to have a mind of my own right from the start.
That competitive and stand-alone nature can come in handy in a lot of situations in life but the negative flip side of those traits is the ability to be very annoying to others, something I struggled with for years and as my wife is fond of saying, that struggle ain't over.
No other recipients were more handy targets than my poor departed teachers who soon learned when I was in their class to adapt the posture of this Blue Jay if they really wanted to know what was going on in their class when they were doing something on the blackboard.
We had a half-dozen bucks in front of us this morning and there was a lot of posturing going on. Mostly the bigger buck wins. There was one brief skirmish, but it didn't last long. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. You don't see a 'French Inhale' very often on the streets. Having seen one from this guy I had to sidle in with my lens ready for another - enjoy! Best viewed large.

you'll cry and cry
and try to sleep
but sleep won't come
the whole night through
your cheatin' heart
will tell on you

The obelisk posture is a handstand-like position that some dragonflies and damselflies assume to prevent overheating on sunny days. The abdomen is raised until its tip points at the sun, minimizing the surface area exposed to solar radiation. When the sun is close to directly overhead, the vertical alignment of the insect's body suggests an obelisk.

I was watching a big alligator walk across the path. As it was walking it turned around 180 degrees. I was thinking "It can't be because of me." Then all of the sudden I see this heron appear from behind a tree posturing the gator. I was surprised and humored because it drove it back into the tall grass.

Found this guy so loaded down with pollen and sweetness that he could hardly fly!! His posture and delight make me laugh. Always a surprise with Mother Nature. Another photo from my NC mountain vacation, although I'm back in Florida. I think the flowers are lupine-- but any help with ID is welcome, and as always, I so appreciate critical feedback and help so that I can improve and become better at photography.

Happy Tuesday, Everyone!
Thank you so much for looking and for the kind comments and favs! They are very much appreciated!
First photo from our last project, bookmaking. I made a Book of Leans.
"The place is as important as the person in the picture. It's the marriage of the two that make these photographs. For example, lying on/down a set of stairs: the place isn't odd, neither is the act, it's the mixture of the two that creates the intrigue. These photographs explore the relationship and interaction we have with our environment and how we hold ourselves within it, specifically leaning, and look at the possible shapes and compositions made through the collaboration of man and his urban environment."
Two varieties of lady's slipper orchids looking their very ladylike best. There was no official orchid show at the New York Botanical Garden this year because of COVID, but garden staff did their best unofficially decorating with their best specimens of orchids. It was much lower key than the usual annual show, but also much more intimate and enjoyable. The Bronx, NYC -- March 7, 2021

This snake was a little "rattled" when we stepped too close to its board in Death Valley. This is the second one of two rattlesnakes encountered within 2 hours in Death Valley last weekend. It's warm and the reptiles are out!
While out for a walk yesterday I came across two male Anna's Hummingbirds having a territorial disagreement. This one landed on a branch not far from me, and then the other dive bombed it a couple of times. When the bomber got close this guy would flare his tail and wings at him.
I was shooting upwards against a lightly clouded white sky that acted like a giant diffuser, and it was perfect for showing off the beautiful colours of the male Anna's.
