Large stately stork with an enormous black bill, black head and neck. Female has yellow eyes. In flight note white belly and mostly white wings with a central black panel, long red/pink legs trailing behind. Immature has darker upperwings. Usually found singly or in pairs around tropical wetlands and ponds. (eBird)

Finally, a close-up view of this magnificent stork. We had seen them in India, but always at a great distance. So happy to find this one, and many others, in Australia. He certainly didn't pay any attention to the Salties as he walked around one on the bank.
Confusingly, they are known locally and in some languages, as Jabiru - a stork found only in Central and South America.

It was a windy day and the dragonfly was clinging tightly to the branch as it vibrated back and forth. I fired a burst of shots and later merged them in Photoshop to create this image for Wing Wednesday, with added toning applied.

Some fun facts on dragonfly that might surprise you
Dragonflies spent most of their lives underwater.
Adult dragonflies only live up to 6 months, they end up spending more time of their lives in water than the air.
Dragonflies lay their eggs in water. Upon hatching, the larva will remain aquatic for 2 to 5 years depending on the species.
During this stage, they would breathe using their gills.
Dragonfly nymphs eat any underwater creature smaller than them.
Some bigger species of dragonfly can even hunt and eat small fish as larvae.
After the larva stage, they would crawl out of the water with the dragonfly’s exoskeleton cracking open to release its abdomen.
During this period, its four wings will start to emerge, drying and solidifying within the next several days.
The wings of the dragonfly provide superior stability with high load-bearing capacity as it flies, glides, and hovers.
Their wings are made of membranes and veins with a complex design that provides excellent versatility, agility as well as performing maneuverable fliers.
Just a single dragonfly can eat up to 100 mosquitoes per day.
Having two or more dragonflies in the garden or near the house would certainly slow down the mosquito’s population.
Adult dragonflies only eat when they are flying.
Hence if they are injured and cannot fly, they will starve to death.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated..
Peaceful Saturday
The large condor sculpture with outstretched wings can be seen from the streets of Puno, Peru atop Condor Hill. The lookout point offers sweeping views of the city and Lake Titicaca. Condor Hill is 13,180 ft (4,017 m) above sea level.

Wings: Una - Neon Axis Wings @ Shop & Hop
Part of the sculpture “Wings over Water” is about 70 feet long and is made of steel. aluminum and high tech stamisol fabric. A continually changing light display washes over and around the kinetic sculpture from the fountain below. Created by Joe O’Connell, the sculpture stands in front of the George R. Brown Convention Center, Avenida de las Americas, Houston.
These flower look like wings of nature in our parks, streets and gardens. Thanks for visit and have a great day everyone, stay out of the sun or be at a shadowed location, if you know older people it does not cost much to check on them on days like yesterday or today to make sure they are fine.

Windmill in The Detmold Open Air Museum
The LWL-Freilichtmuseum in Detmold is a great place to learn and experience the world of our ancestors. The open-air-museum is covered with buildings, tools, animals and plants of countryside life in Northwest Germany in the last couple of centuries. An endless source of inspiration for HDR photography.

Pierrot danced as she always did when the theatre was empty, for no audience and no applause, following a melody only she seemed able to hear.
She turned beneath the chandeliers, ivory skirts whispering across the old wooden floor, until suddenly she stopped.
Someone was watching from the wings.
A woman stood half hidden beyond the curtain, dressed in black and diamonds, her face strangely familiar beneath the theatre lights.
Neither of them spoke.
For a moment they simply stared at one another, as though each were trying to remember where they had met before.
Then Harlequin smiled.
And Pierrot, without knowing why, smiled back.
