He who bends to himself a joy
Doth the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sunrise ~ Blake

I very seldom see this beautiful dragonfly.

A wonderful woman, Palmela G., feeds the birds organic sunflower seeds and peanuts each day at a local park. This Red-winged Blackbird is one that enjoys her treats.

This is one shot in a sequence where this mature Bald Eagle was flying to my left but noticed something to my right and is working quickly to change direction. I love the wing position in this image as it's something I don't see too often, as though the wing is draped - the wing that is pointing at me.

Die Gold Wing ist ein schweres Reisemotorrad mit wassergekühltem Vier- oder Sechszylinder-Boxermotor und Kardanantrieb von Honda. Das erste Modell GL 1000 mit 1000 cm³ Hubraum wurde im Herbst 1974 auf der IFMA in Köln präsentiert. Sie wurde anfangs in Japan gefertigt und ab 1979, vor allem für den amerikanischen Markt, in Marysville, Ohio (USA). Mitte 2009 wurde die Motorradproduktion im Werk Marysville eingestellt und nach Kumamoto (Japan) verlegt. Im Laufe der langjährigen Weiterentwicklung dieser Baureihe vergrößerte der Hersteller den Hubraum nach und nach bis auf aktuell 1833 cm³.
Die Firma Honda betrachtet die Gold Wing als ihr Flaggschiff, entwickelt und gebaut für Motorradfahrer, die höchsten Komfort, Sicherheit und Wetterschutz auf weiten Reisen erwarten und für die der Anschaffungspreis und das Fahrzeuggewicht nur eine untergeordnete Rolle spielen. Dazu wurden viele Ausstattungsdetails wie Audio- und CB-Funk-Anlagen, Antiblockiersystem (ABS), Tempomat, Sitzheizung, Rückwärtsgang oder Airbag aus dem Automobilbereich in das Konzept integriert, manchmal lange vor den Mitbewerbern oder, wie beim Airbag, als Alleinstellungsmerkmal. Kritiker und Bewunderer bezeichnen sie deshalb oft als „Auto auf zwei Rädern“ oder „Königin der Landstraße“. Die Vereinigten Staaten bleiben, auch nach der Einstellung der Produktion dort, der Hauptabsatzmarkt für die Honda Gold Wing. (Wikipedia)

"One of the most abundant birds across North America, and one of the most boldly colored, the Red-winged Blackbird is a familiar sight atop cattails, along soggy roadsides, and on telephone wires. Glossy-black males have scarlet-and-yellow shoulder patches they can puff up or hide depending on how confident they feel. Females are a subdued, streaky brown, almost like a large, dark sparrow. Their early and tumbling song are happy indications of the return of spring."
I could watch a bird eating a dragonfly. It left the wing of the dragonfly behind.

A foraging Wing-banded Hornero is reflected in a small watercourse: a favoured habitat of this species, per eBird. The location was near the Rio Macacu in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. I got this rewarding perspective by crouching low, a technique in bird photography that often yields pleasing results due to a more intimate vantage point than to be had by standing up and pointing down.
A wing from the wreckage of the RAF Canberra jet which crashed on t-Sagairt Mor in 1956. Lots of pieces are strewn all over the mountaintop and this trip sees finding more of them before making the final ascent to Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach.
Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach (pronounced Carn a-Corry voddoyich - or something like) stands at 1118 meters (3667 feet) and completes my circuit of the five Munro's of White Mounth. It's taken me 3 years and 4 separate climbs to complete this circuit, starting with my first ever Munro Lochnagar in 2016, but I'm there at last!!

The chestnut-winged starling (Onychognathus fulgidus) is a glossy, medium-sized starling found across parts of East Africa, often inhabiting rocky cliffs, savannas, and woodland edges. It is easily recognized by its dark, iridescent plumage contrasted with rich chestnut-colored wings that flash warmly in flight. Highly social and vocal, these birds are frequently seen in pairs or small groups, foraging for insects and fruit. Their striking coloration and lively behavior make the chestnut-winged starling a rewarding subject for observation and photography.
Early last fall I captured this image of the Bald Faced Hornet on our back deck. When I read up on him, it said he is actually a member of the Yellow Jacket wasps and not a true hornet. Either way, I was not happy to have him visit. I react quite strongly to bee and wasp stings so I always carry a small container of white vinegar with me to apply to a sting quickly to neutralize the effects. It works within minutes if I apply it right after the sting. The other reason we don’t like the wasps hanging around is because they strip pieces of wood off the posts. I thought initially when I discovered this, that a neighbourhood cat was scratching at our deck. I guess the wasps find it easy material for making their paper nests. This is my Wing Wednesday post for the day.
