These two male great blue herons had a confrontation over the nest at lower right. The bird on the right was on the nest calling out presumably to a mate when the other male showed up. The second male was chased off and the first male continued its calls.

For the Macro Monday's "One of these things is not like the others" theme.
Title inspired by Kermit the Frog : )
Thanks for viewing and happy Macro Monday!
These are also spoons, however the other sides, so they could very well be forks or knives ;-)
Have a great day everyone!
These don't bite, though...
Except you count frostbite...๐

These males are very territorial and will court females by flicking there wings open and performing an aerial dance in front of them. The scientific name Odonata which is the order of the major group that Dragonflies and Damselflies belong to is actually derived from the Greek word 'oden', meaning 'tooth', which refers to the strong toothed jaws that all the Odonata posses.

I have long ago accepted that I am a little crazy and a little weird. It wasn't that exciting a revelation though. Turns out everyone is.

Another one from my crocus shoot last week.
These are not the most liked birds in the world but they do have an amazing amount of colour in them in a certain light.
Taken at Lakeview Drive, Kissimmee.

These teeny, seemingly fragile, very beautiful little Rosemary flowers are on a little plant in a 4" pot in the greenhouse. Is at max 1:1 magnification and also taken in aps-c, so effectively 1.5x, but with a 1.0 d.o.f. and a bit of a crop thrown in.
They were pretty awkward to photograph - I took some photos first and then uploaded in order to get an idea of what they were like, which didn't really help that much as even with the 20x was difficult to tell what was what on these pretty complex flowers, then I took a lot of various little flowers and angles but only a couple worth keeping. A bit hit and miss to say the least :^)
We found our place
On the branch of an old gum tree
Our feet would sway
To a voice in the breeze
And birds would sing
On the banks of a narrow stream
These memories will stay with me
We made our way
To a hill beside the sea
With salt in the air
And sand on our feet
We felt the sun
As it burned upon our skin
These memories will stay with me
Now I am far away
These memories still remain
Now I'm far away
You stay with me the same
Now I'm far away
These memories still remain
These small plants have found a home among the decaying railroad ties, a perfect ecological niche.
EDIT
After posting, it occurred to me that this looks like an image to which selective color was applied. Actually, only a few spots on the wood beams were desaturated; otherwise, the colors are pretty much the way the way they appeared.
These pink crabapple trees smell so good and can brighten any mood. A great time to visit the Central Park Conservatory Garden, New York City.
These three flowering crocuses form part of a 1300 metre long "blue wave band", symbolizing the Rhine river waves. 25 tons of crocus corms were planted to create this flower band.

These mushrooms grow on a fallen tree , where in total at least thousand of these kind are gathered.

See these guys all the time and really do not bother so much in the way of photographing them, but think that that will change.
Have a great day, a safe day, and thanks as always for visiting.
These birds are annoying. You cannot get close to them. If you do, it's only by accident, because you did not know the bird was in the tree you approached until it leaves at 150 mph, cackling at you all the way. VERY annoying...
These little Bewick's wrens are quite chatty as they explore their surroundings. This one told me to look for it in a bush, then soon emerged to this blackberry vine, and struck a classic wren pose.
These two starlingโs sat in one of my wifeโs birdfeeders until the snow started to lighten up, afterwards they were able to grab some food and went on their way.
These abstract lines always caught my attention, so I couldnโt resist taking this shot when walking past it with my camera

Photo taken at **Little World**:
It's coming round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its command
Soon enough it comes
and settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Puts pressure in my day
This life well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
It's coming round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its demands
It settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Undignified and lame
This life well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Control well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Soon enough it comes
Soon enough it comes
To tie us down

These two wild stallions were exchanging postures in a stand off over who had the right to have his herd in the area. Sometimes it seems this is exactly the posture you see between humans.

I'm off early morning volunteering to manage habitat for High Brown Fritillaries , think we're having a fire today and baked potatoes so should be fun. Another sunset shot from the other evening. these Days are Mine is by I Am Kloot.

These little paws are made for walking.
Keep walking my little one, be well my ๐ heart.

p.p. I used a texture: "a vintage paper and lace"
by texture time.
(3 paws and a tail)
These aqueducts, built in a spiral to allow aeration of the water, were built 2000 years ago and are still in active use today
These red-bellied woodpeckers have some really neat black and white striped designs on their back and tail.
These are shadows on a sheer curtain. The lines are from window blinds. I laid on the floor and took the photo looking up.
These 3 whitetail fawns were quite entertaining. They frequently get playful when at the trough. There is always an alpha among them, generally a buck. Looking forward to this year's crop of these little darlings. I'll post more shots of them at play in the future.
Wish my shutter speed had been a bit higher......
May your Tuesday have some fun in it.
These are mini bottles, each 2,5 cm in diameter, glued together, for tiny flowers like daisies. The different colors of the little bottles seemed to be a good start for this week's macro theme. Some light added a bit atmosphere.
