“As they proceeded there, black wings thudded in sudden unison, and a flock of birds flew up as they might from a ploughed field, still shaped like it, like an old map that still served new territory, and wrinkled away in the air.”
― Eudora Welty

The Iowa Horse Show was in town this past weekend which included Drill Teams, horse training shows like the above and a Rodeo so expect a few shots from there over next few weeks.
This trainer was showing how to work horses in a group and train the lead horse (the dappled gray one). The lighting was good in this building but space tigh so I took a close up of horse hide and used it to help filter out some of the busy background.
(I guess my filter works for macro Monday!)

In another 45 days or so, the starling murmurations will return to Brighton, as northern Europe gets colder and starlings migrate to milder regions for the winter. This murmuration coincided with a hail storm, giving the scene a monochrome look.

Tuk-tuks are the lifeline of the city of Bangkok. It is hard to imagine Bangkok without these iconic vehicles.
Un precioso amanecer. Inigualable emoción se siente ante tanta belleza junta, ante tantas sensaciones al unísono, el mundo a tus pies, la mirada sorteando cada lugar desde ese atril natural, los pelos de la piel erizados, las piernas con un leve temblar, ante tan hermosa magnitud de intensa sinfonía de luz y colores, los ojos no dan abasto para llevar al alma a procesar tantas sensaciones agolpadas, con las que este escenario se presenta ante nosotros.

“ The world is not to be put in order. The world is order. It is for us to put ourselves in unison with this order.” - Henry Miller
This probably is the best description of what I am striving for in my backyard. Although I do some manipulation by planting things in some semblance of order that suits our lifestyle, I try to work in unison with nature to maintain a natural habitat for ourselves and the creatures who share this space with us. I have bird feeders that I start in the spring for the birds returning to our area. However, there is plenty of food for them in the garden without my help now. There are cedars for nesting and the trees also provide bugs for them to eat. There are baby Robins in the one nest and baby Chickadees in the birdhouse in the hedge. I have the main birdbath but also a few other watering stations which they enjoy. My lilacs are enticing the Hummingbirds and butterflies so there is no need to have feeders out for them. Once the Lilacs are done, there will be my honeysuckle blooms to keep them interested, as well as perennials that bloom at different stages of the summer. The bees will love the Lavender when it blooms. I do confess that I feed my chipmunk garden buddy nuts from time to time. The wild rabbit is allowed to nibble on a few of my blooms.
It is soothing to hear the birds frolicking and singing in the garden. I love the scents of the Lilacs, Lily of the Valley, Sweet Woodruff, and Lavender when I work in the garden. By doing just a bit of weeding and pruning from time to time, I bring a little bit of order to my own life, too.
From the International Crane Foundation, a Whooping Crane Unison Call is "A duet performed by a pair, to strengthen their bond and protect their territory." During recent visit to the cranes' wintering grounds, we were thrilled to hear it multiple times, and I was lucky enough to get this shot.
Here's a recording of the call:
