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.

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.
Sometimes I see potential in a photo for these effects. Sometimes I just go willy nilly and see what happens. Sometimes I just put the photo in the trash and start over.
This is done using a layer mask and blur effect in Photoshop Elements.
Happy Slider Sunday
these Wildebeest had spent the night in the woodlands and were heading towards the Ndutu Marsh area (in the south east of the Serengeti, Tanzania )
The south east of the Serengeti is the most southern part of the annual Great Migration . It is the area where most of the Wildebeest calves are born.
Many thanks for your views, favorites and supportive comments.

These birds are very shy and difficult to see. They stay in small groups on the forest floor and rarely come out into the open.
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.

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 Pine trees "Nordmann-Tannen" are used only for Christmas trees by the Municipality and it's Citizen.
I used up all the plain flour making these clouds. this is taken in my favourite golden fields which are so nice and orange at this time of year. I love seeing how nature changes throughout the seasons
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 bright bulbs light up a room on a cloudy, rainy spring day. Love tulip season. Happy middle of the week!
These seven elusive islands lie north of the popular Pink Granite Coast, but few humans set foot on them. Monks tried to establish a foothold, but gave up. The main occupants are the seabirds that congregate here to nest in vast numbers.
These beautiful log homes, built for BC Parks for the 2010 Winter Olympics, are works of art complete with hand-carvings. The private oceanfront decks offer magnificent views of Howe Sound and the snow-capped mountains beyond.

These chicks were born last monday
They were 3 days old when I did this new photo
Now they dare to swim around the nest
And they know what is food
You wan see how they watch parent coming back with food
As the ilse is closed now (covid), I did the photo from the other side, so distance is lower (7m-10m) but sun is in front.
At this point water depth is 1m-1.5m coot did a nice work to build this nest.

These are some of the biggest clouds I've seen at golden hour in Monument Valley in my last 4 trips. If you have a great shot of MV with nice clouds consider yourself lucky. :) This was taken during a 4 day blitz of the southwest with Flickr friend and photographer William McIntosh.

These petunias seem to be subject to some sort of somatic mutation, where the color gene(s) are not expressed in an early cell, and the white spot that cell develops into enlarges as the flower grows. I think. At any rate, these petunias are both beautiful.
Thank you for looking. Isn't God a great artist?
These birds are fast fliers (approx. 50 mph/80 kph) and it's always a challenge to get a sharp shot as they zoom by. But bright light, a fast shutter speed, and practiced technique make it possible to highlight their beauty!
Have a great day, everyone...
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.

Thank you for visiting. Your comments and faves are much appreciated.
These mushrooms grow on a fallen tree , where in total at least thousand of these kind are gathered.
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 two fellas sunbathing caught my eye instantly.
Anyone able to ID these? My mycology skills are close to non-existent. :D
These two starling’s sat in one of my wife’s birdfeeders until the snow started to lighten up, afterwards they were able to grab some food and went on their way.
