Some people think Wood Storks are ugly. They resent how they move into the rookery and usurp the tree islands, crowding out the Great Blues and Anhinga who had settled in prior to this pushy intrusion. And that noisy sex that goes on all the time, that clashing of bills drawing attention to what, I should think we would all agree, be done in private, or at least in the darkness of night. Well, I for one am deeply offended. Yet, when I look at this bird, I can’t help but seeing its inner beauty. Yes, I’m a closet Wood Stork lover. There should be help for folk like me, but to hell I say, I’m coming out of the closet and will embrace my affliction without shame! (And, let me just add, this is no laughing matter.)

Roseate Spoonbill

 

From Florida Hikes:

 

There’s no mistaking the roseate spoonbill, with its bright pink plumage and distinctive shovel-shaped beak. Usually seen in pairs or large groups, they feed on mud flats.

This is what the lady said, after seeing, what I took a picture of. This Birdo mural is one of his newest. Less colours then usual, but still Pretty Good, Eh.

Birdo (Jerry Rugg) murals are some of the most visible wall art pieces in the city. Precisely executed, vibrant and imaginative. He paints everywhere; from a 5 story building to a bedroom fantasy decoration. His dream to paint CN Tower is still a dream at this point. One day.....

Happy Canada day from Calgary

So therefore in order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present. And it certainly does around on Brindley Place at night, where it's full of restaurants and bars and also, on an enviable canalside location that makes Brindleyplace one of most Birmingham’s best locations, for perfect tranquillity and relaxation.

 

So? - If we are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody else that it does!

 

Many thanks for your cool comments and compliments from you here, my flickr friends !!!

Our clematis has gone a bit berserk, growing wildly in many directions. But it's booming nicely.
