Observe their environment: By standing still, they can better survey the area to assess the threat and determine their next move.
Listen for sounds: This posture allows them to listen more intently to detect any further signs of danger.

Star ballerina. Enhanced by a fairly visible spider web thread, its static posture is now aware, warm elegance...

One was not eating and the other really did not want it but for form sake and the juvenile further upstream they have to look like they are going to battle for the salmon.
美術館の周辺は美しい公園になっています。そんな中を歩く姿勢の良いご婦人を発見。
The area around the museum is a beautiful park. I found a woman with a good posture walking in the park.
From Wikipedia:
The Australian water dragon (Intellagama lesueurii), which includes the eastern water dragon (Intellagama lesueurii lesueurii ) and the Gippsland water dragon (Intellagama lesueurii howittii ) subspecies, is an arboreal agamid species native to eastern Australia from Victoria northwards to Queensland. There may be a small introduced population on the south-east coast of South Australia. The Gippsland Water Dragon is generally the more southern of the two species and the more cold adapted and heat sensitive. Visually distinguishing the Gippsland Water Dragon from the Eastern Water Dragon is relatively easy, as long as their skin is reasonably clean and not stained from the water, as identification of the two subspecies depends largely on observable differences in colours and patterns.
Australian water dragons are extremely shy in the wild, but readily adapt to continual human presence in suburban parks and gardens. They are fast runners and strong climbers. When faced with a potential predator, they seek cover in thick vegetation, or drop from an overhanging branch into water. They are able to swim totally submerged, and rest on the bottom of shallow creeks or lakes for up to 90 minutes, to avoid detection.
Both males and females display typical agamid behaviour such as basking, arm-waving and head-bobbing. Fast arm-waving signals dominance, while slow arm-waving signals submission. Males are territorial, and in areas of higher population density, males exhibit displays of aggression toward other males including posturing, chasing and fighting.

With fading light, I was able to capture one of these beauties sitting upright and still. With next week off, I will try for better light and background detail.
It’s been said that hummingbirds weigh less than a penny! At 3-4 grams, this ruby-throated hummingbird is the only species to visit this part of Ontario.
The ruby-throated hummingbird is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to Eastern North America for the summer to breed. It is by far the most common hummingbird seen east of the Mississippi River in North America.

Northern Rough-winged Swallow (Stelgidopteryx serripennis) Community Garden, Kelowna Rec Field, Kelowna, BC.
I really enjoy seeing these admittedly plainest of swallows in the garden area. As the next five shots show, they love to visit with people....
"Odissi is traditionally a dance-drama genre of performance art, where the artist(s) and musicians play out a mythical story, a spiritual message or devotional poem from the Hindu texts, using symbolic costumes, body movement, abhinaya (expressions) and mudras (gestures and sign language) set out in ancient Sanskrit literature. Odissi is learnt and performed as a composite of basic dance motif called the Bhangas (symmetric body bends, stance). It involves lower (footwork), mid (torso) and upper (hand and head) as three sources of perfecting expression and audience engagement with geometric symmetry and rhythmic musical resonance.["
