Looking like the Maestro conducting an orchestra, this Blue-winged Teal actually was facing off with a Coot that was harassing him.
Many birds spread their wings in this manner to dry them. However, I have observed this behavior in many bird species as a show of dominance, when facing a competitor, immediately after a mating, when confronting a foe, or when feeling threatened.

How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey, this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me
Why
Why
I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard it said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out
Tell me
Why
Tell me
Why
This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...

My dog did a very good job chasing the birds on the beach, so they flew exactly where I wanted them to be 😜

This anhinga has spearded this fish underwater and brought it to the surface.
The question remains, how do you get a double speared fish off your twin beaks and down your throat?
Well I will tell you if you have patience.
First and foremost is keep tension on your beaks; keep them spread apart so the fish can't 'wiggle' off your beaks.
Next - keep it at the end of your beak(s) for a long time, why?
Well you want it to stop struggling ....
Then, thrash it all about..................
See the photos in the comments
Now that the anhinga has moved it (quite quickly) up, down, sideways, and upside down, the anhinga prepares for the end of this phase of the process, which is the...........
Commonly known as moth orchids, is a genus of about seventy species of orchids in the family orchid. Orchids in this genus are monopodial epiphytes or lithophytes with long, coarse roots, short, leafy stems and long-lasting, flat flowers arranged in a flowering stem that often branches near the end. Orchids in this genus are native to India, China, Southeast Asia, New Guinea and Australia with the majority in Indonesia and the Philippines. A few to many, small to large, long-lasting, flat, often fragrant flowers are arranged on erect to hanging racemes or panicles. The sepals and petals are free from and spread widely apart from each other. The lateral sepals are usually larger than the dorsal sepal and the petals much wider than the sepals. The labellum is joined stiffly to the column and has three lobes. The side lobes are erect and more or less parallel to each other and the middle lobe sometimes has a pair of appendages or antennae. 21830

Despite the parachute structure of the individual Dandelion seeds being largely made up of empty space, it is believed their design creates a ring-shaped air bubble ("separated vortex ring") which slows their descent to the ground and allows them to spread further afield (and into my garden as an unfortunate consequence). It is thought their design is up to four times more efficient that a conventional parachute.
Our home is on the very edge of our small town and this view is just a couple of blocks away.
when I saw this scene, I rushed home to grab a camera hoping there would be enough light to capture the scene. There was quite a bit of haze caused by the dust of the harvesting and wildfire smoke coming in from the western part of the country which probably intensified the sunset colors.
In a small town like ours everyone knows everyone and news spreads fast. I learned the next morning at the coffee shop that this field yielded poorly because of the severely dry growing season.
Not long ago, the Willow Emerald Damselfly had only been reliably recorded in the UK on 2 occasions, in 1979 and 1992. A single individual was then recorded in south-east Suffolk during 2007, followed in 2009 by a sudden boom of 400 records of the species from this same general area. Since this time, the Willow Emerald has spread rapidly across the south-east of England, gaining footholds in new counties on a yearly basis. The natural colonisation and spread of this damselfly in the UK is incredible.
Willow Emerald Damselfly females lay eggs into the bark of trees; these eggs overwinter and then with the coming of spring they hatch and the larva falls into the water below.
This was my first sighting of a Willow Emerald Damselfly, seen clinging for life on a Sallow twig in 40mph gusts of wind in Suffolk. My thanks to Sue Gough, a talented guide for Naturetrek, who told me where to look.

Rising up to the spreading sky
Home to the birds that do fly
Under its branches, lovers stand
Lips on lips, hand in hand
Resting against the now bare tree
Their is love exposed for all to see
Lips on lips, passion found
On the green Winter ground
Home to nature, as birds they fly
Spreading sweet love across the sky

Here we have an old field type manure spreader languishing on the prairie. It’s day has come and gone. Farmers like to jokingly say that this is the only implement that the dealer won’t stand behind. :-)

I love California poppies and their fragile beauty. When I scattered poppy seeds in my garden several years ago, I was excited to see two or three pop up during the summer months. Their bright blossoms have returned to grace my world once again. Here's to the simple things in life that make one happy.
I almost forgot to mention that the lyrics of Miss Billie Holiday's song of The Sunny Side of the Street inspired the title.
"I used to walk in the shade
With those blues on parade,
But now I'm not afraid.
This rover crossed over.
If I never have a cent,
I'll be rich as Rockefeller
With gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street "
And for her lovely voice, here you go!
Hello Everyone!
Alongside a country road, I found a large amount of Spreading Dogbane, a lovely wildflower that smells like heaven. This White Admiral was nectaring on the delicate bell-shaped flowers.
Thanks a million for stopping by and for your comments.I Have a mavelous day!

Things are getting slow since the migratory summer breeders have flown south. I did find these four yesterday though.
The top two are American Robin, and Cedar Waxwing (juv) and are migratory songbirds. A few individuals of both species often spend the winter here and can be found in some city parks sustaining themselves on berries. Sometimes Cedar Waxwings can be found travelling with the Bohemian Waxwings that usually arrive later in winter.
I also found my first Pine Grosbeaks of the season. The male is bottom left and the female bottom right. I usually don't see them until around mid-November. Pine Grosbeaks breed north of Alberta, but are wide-spread throughout the province in winter.
They are permanent residents in southern Alaska and most of British Columbia.
