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
An ongoing attempt at capturing my alchemical nymph's ever-changing faces, postures, and gestures. Been together in millions of places, and we've got an eternity of galaxies to travel to yet. This is only the beginning. From a technical perspective, this is the first set I will be posting since 2011 or so where all pictures are untouched - this is intentional and I hope visitors will perceive why.
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 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.
The yellow-crowned night heron is found exclusively in the Americas, and its distribution depends closely on food (mainly crustaceans) availability. Yellow-crowned Night Herons usually walk slowly, using a bent-over posture when foraging, and fly with slow wingbeats.
will make you weep
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

Another 'Fun for Friday' shot here! A gust of wind and it looks like this guy is getting some Van de Graaff style static going on. His sideways glance at the same time just adds fun to this shot.
Best viewed large.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend ahead - keep those shutters clicking!

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

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.
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!

CA Scrub-jay thinks my front yard is his own...flying in, making a ruckus and scaring all the others birds away.
The Grackles seemed even more agitated today than usual after the rain stopped. All that posturing made for some tense moments at the Goodie Bowl, even though the contents had to be a little soggy.
All that drama also made for some interesting bird watching and made me grab my camera, too.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Captured close-up with a wide angle focal length, I just loved the posture and expression of this guy. I'm not sure if he was checking in, checking out or just passing by but the shot just tickled my imagination. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend ahead wherever you are in the world!
This Male Wheatear was fighting with another male at the base of this drystone wall,literally rolling around in the grass,behaviour that I have not witnessed before.
After the fight this male flew to the top of the wall and the other bird flew off.
This one fanned out its tale and was calling constantly and was strutting his stuff on top of the wall for about a minute.
I can only think the other male had strayed into this ones territory and then was duly sent packing with its tail between its legs.
It was an amazing spectacle to watch.
