Horned puffin (Fratercula corniculata), an auk found in the North Pacific Ocean. Their "horn" is the black skin located above the eye of adult birds. Duck Island, Tuxedni Wildlife Refuge, Alaska
Happiness is finding in the woods the first flowers of spring this year, the snowdrops. Its petals look like little wings that seem to want to provide the peace☮ we need right now.
“A loving heart, determination, faith, courage, trust, belief, truth, and a solid soul create the wings with which we fly.”

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.

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.
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.
In the Children's Garden at Dauset Trails there are many wonders to see, from the great variety of flowers, which changes season to season, to all the winged wonders who visit all those varied flowers.
Our second destination at Dauset Trails was the Children's Garden. There were plenty of these Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterflies flitting about. I just love all those wonderful colors on their wings!
Not disappointed at Dauset Trails.

La Mésange bleue est une petite mésange qui tire son nom de la couleur bleue de sa calotte, de ses ailes et de sa queue. Sa tête est remarquable. La face, largement blanche, est barrée de trois traits bleu sombre à noirs, deux traits qui passent par l'œil pour rejoindre la nuque de même couleur, et un large trait qui rejoint un collier, qui lui-même borde les joues blanches et rejoint la nuque. Le mâle adulte se distingue à la teinte bleue du plumage plus marquée, surtout à la calotte. Le bleu de la femelle est plus terne.

The blue tit is a small tit that gets its name from the blue color of its cap, wings and tail. His head is remarkable. The face, largely white, is barred by three dark blue to black lines, two features that pass through the eye to join the neck of the same color, and a broad line that joins a necklace, which itself borders the white cheeks and joined the neck. The adult male is distinguished by the blue hue of the plumage more marked, especially the cap. The blue of the female is duller.

The black skimmer was photographed resting on a sandbar along the Cuiaba River. There were about six of them there when this image was taken. Within minutes more skimmers were circling above getting ready to land.
The black skimmer (Rynchops niger) is a tern-like seabird, one of three very similar birds species in the skimmer family. It breeds in North and South America. Northern populations winter in the warmer waters of the Caribbean and the tropical and subtropical Pacific coasts, but the South American races make only shorter movements in response to annual floods which extend their feeding areas in the river shallows.
Skimmers have a light graceful flight, with steady beats of their long wings. They feed usually in large flocks, flying low over the water surface with the lower mandible skimming the water (in order of importance) for small fish, insects, crustaceans and molluscs caught by touch by day or especially at night.
The black skimmer breeds in loose groups on sandbanks and sandy beaches in the Americas, the three to seven heavily dark-blotched buff or bluish eggs being incubated by both the male and female. The chicks leave the nest as soon as they hatch and lie inconspicuously in the nest depression or "scrape" where they are shaded from high temperatures by the parents. They may dig their own depressions in the sand at times. Parents feed the young almost exclusively during the day with almost no feeding occurring at night, due to the entire population of adults sometimes departing the colony to forage.
I conjured up all my dreams and wore my pretty little flowery wings. Leaping and jumping into the sky, shrugging my shoulder hoping my flowery wings would fly.
The osprey, also called sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey with a cosmopolitan range. It is a large raptor reaching more than 60 cm in length and 180 cm across the wings. It is brown on the upperparts and predominantly greyish on the head and underparts. Wikipedia
