“Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg.” ~ H. C. Andersen ~
Sometimes we just don't know what we are capable of becoming until we spread our wings.

VIEW in large to see the transformation happening:
A Golden-crowned Sparrow appeared in a local park back in November and stayed through the winter until it left sometime around second half of April. This gave an opportunity to study how the bird plumage changed over the months from basic to breeding. Here's a composite of two photos, the one on the left was taken on Nov 21 2021, whereas the second on the right was taken on April 17, 2022. The faint yellow on its crown transformed into bright yellow with black marking around the eyebrow, giving it a full adult breeding plumage. Scarborough Heights Park, Toronto, Ontario.
As we bid adieu to the warmth of summer's embrace, we find ourselves on the precipice of autumn's arrival. The world transforms into a canvas of vivid hues, a tapestry of crimson and gold, where every leaf tells a story of change. It's a season that invites introspection, a time when nature itself seems to pause and take a deep breath. As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, we're reminded of the beauty that resides in letting go, in the graceful dance of transition. So, as autumn approaches, let us embrace this chapter of transformation with open hearts, for it's a reminder that change can be as beautiful as the falling leaves.

S Barciński in 1884 founded a woolen factory at 6 Tylna Street, and two years later a woolen and semi-woolen spinning mill, weaving and finishing shop was established - one of the first electrically illuminated enterprises in Łódź.
Currently, the area of the Barciński Park housing estate. A successful example of revitalizing former factory areas.

I feel that butterlies perfectly represent the New Year or rather the change from one year to the next. It's rather funny how so much emphasis gets put on the changing of a calendar, does that much change from Dec 31 to January 1st?
While butterflies represent the new year, to me they also act as a metaphor to my own year it seems. I feel like I've made a slight transformation from hobbiest photographer to deciding to make art my priority and call myself an artist. It's been a crazy year full of all sorts of wonderful and unexpected twists and turns but that's what makes life so interesting!
Got this horned grebe today displaying nearly full mating plumage. This guy is about 80 - 90% there. Not too sure how much longer they will hang around now before going to their breeding grounds but I am hoping to get more good shots of them before they do.
No more oppression!

Flickr, today was a pretty sad day- one of my pets died this night. she was quite old, a 14 year old cat. But I was really sad today and I feel like I am missing her.
I hope she is doing good, where ever she might be!
Keep it up, Annabel ♥

Butterflies represent transformation. I have been seeing a lot of butterflies lately and saw this when visiting Mall of America in Minneapolis.

I was fortunate enough to witness the full process of a dragonfly (Possibly a Spiny Baskettail) emerging and transforming from the nymph stage. The full sequence is here if you are interested:
Just several months ago, these young pretty boys were colorless, skittish and not much different in appearance from their sisters.
The transformation into beautiful young males is complete and in the spring they will compete for the attention of eligible females in the countryside and the cycle of pheasant life will continue for another generation.
Ringed-neck pheasants after hatching in spring take between 2-3 months to become independent and can have up to a dozen or more siblings. If they make it through their first harsh Minnesota winter, they begin their mating season in mid-March.
Unlike some other birds, they are not monogamous and normally have a small harem they defend against intrusion from other males.
Once the female begins preparation for nesting, the male is nowhere to be found. He doesn’t help with nest building nor does he get involved in raising the chicks. Sometimes if you are lucky when driving in the countryside you can catch glimpses of tired, frustrated females reading self-help books in order to cope.
Though our pheasants are hardy birds, their lifespan is heavily influenced by the availability of food and adequate habitat during our inclement winters and cold springs.
A severe winter can see up to 50% of the pheasant population perish.

We were back to the gannet colony on Oct 10, 26 days later than the previous visit. There had been quite a change in the appearance of the chicks and many of them had already left the nesting rock. I believe this to be the same chick as I photographed on Sept 14th (see next image)

So, with each personal season of distress we receive the opportunity to evolve and grow. Transformation is life.

When the light reflects
in oh so many ways
we wander into rain
to cool our brains
and watch afar for
the sounds of
sizzling.
In the Greek myth, Leda was ravaged by Zeus who had assumed the form of a swan. In my version of the story, it is Leda who possesses the power of transformation. Zeus beware!
