Last year, we had many green herons at Koll fishing. Drew crowds of photographers. This year, I've just seen this one. I was fortunate enough to have it near shore when it went fishing, and got some shots of its success.
Balancing Rocks in the Ottawa River.
Remic Rapids Park is situated on the shore of the Ottawa River, Ottawa, Canada.
To enhance the park’s beauty, artist John Felice Ceprano has created balanced rock sculptures on the river’s edge since 1986. The artist uses fossilized and colourful rocks found on the shore to build these sculptures by hand. They provide a free and exploratory public art experience that complements the park’s natural setting.
I’ve been collecting beach glass for as long as I can remember!
Piled up for Smile on Saturday theme, Balancing Act.

Excerpt from www.oakville.ca/assets/general%20-%20business/1-Section%2...:
293 MacDonald Road (1857): Donald Campbell purchased the property from John Chisholm in 1856. The house was constructed in 1857. Campbell was previously a soldier with The Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders and settled in Oakville after his discharge in 1842.
This Georgian brick house has Flemish Bond brickwork on the south façade. North and south walls have a decorative brick cornice with gable returns. Windows are 6/6 wood with stone sills and wood shutters.

This Great Blue Heron landed in the top of a cedar tree but the branches were too flimsy to support its weight. So he struggled to maintain his balance. It was rather entertaining to watch for about 30 seconds until it flew off to find a more stable perch.
We observed this fun behavior at The Nature Conservancy's Cheyenne Bottoms Preserve in central Kansas.

... for the Carnation. It's Act I for the button because it's the first time I've photographed it. :)
The button is French and dates from the 1900s. It's hand painted and has areas of both champlevé and guilloché enamel.
Harris Hawk doing an interesting landing..
We followed these two ( see second hawk beak at bottom ) to where they hang out. Which means we have a new morning coffee and camera sitting place.
Who knew that it is so difficult to balance Dolly Mixtures! After multiple collapses I had to enlist the help of my patient engineer husband to build my Dolly Mixture pyramid! Between the builder and the photographer we managed the balancing act!!!!!

...this little lady bug is precariously balanced atop a still life of clear marbles and plastic forks...I think she is looking for her reflection on the shiny surface below!

They gather each night to watch the show in the best seats in the house. The boats bob in anticipation, the Gull's cheer, and the ducks quietly quack excitedly to each other.

Balancing Act - This backyard Bobcat may not be wearing Air Jordans, but he's certainly got hops like a prime MJ!
Bobcats have longer hind legs than front legs and it's amazing how much jumping power they can generate from a standstill.
Recently, I've enjoyed capturing images of wildlife in urban settings. I think there's great value to showing how wildlife navigates the built environment and showcasing their importance to urban ecosystems.
Species: Bobcat (Lynx rufus)
Location: California, USA
Equipment: Canon EOS R3 + RF 100-500mm IS
Settings: 1/800s, ISO: 10000, f/7.1 @500mm, Handheld, Electronic Shutter
