Captured in Jacksonville, Florida, this male Brown Anole (Anolis sagrei) displays its vibrant, orange-red dewlap. While common throughout the Sunshine State, these hardy lizards are actually an invasive species from the Caribbean.
Here are two FUN FACTS about these small lizards:
1. Brown Anoles can detach their tails to escape predators, leaving the wiggling tail behind as a distraction.
2. These lizards are known to eat their own shed skin to recycle nutrients like calcium and protein.
I love it when the darkness of the winter forest is lit up like a fireworks display by the first Spring blossoms, and the newly unfurled, translucent leaves. Valley country, Southwest France
The establishment is owned by Mr. JD Russel, a distinguished gentleman with rugged good looks and dark hair. It was rumored that he had once stood alongside the President during the famed charge up San Juan Hill, a tale that added to his allure. Whenever he was not engaged in assisting patrons, he took pleasure in offering a complimentary piece of hard candy from his extensive display.
This day, as I approached the entrance, he could be seen diligently sweeping the walkway. Upon noticing my presence, his face brightened with a warm and cordial smile as he stepped forward to hold the door open. “Good afternoon, Miss MacKenna. A truly splendid day, is it not?” he inquired graciously. I responded with a smile, expressed my thanks, and offered a playful wink. “Indeed, Mr. Russel, it is a most delightful day,” I replied.

Here's a link to my other Flickr photos:
Dunn in his Peterson Field Guide-Warblers writes of this species, "In threat display around nest, they flick their wings rapidly outwards and may fan or flip their tails."
I was working alone in Michigan on the posted late May date photograhing and observing a male Golden-w1nged Warbler foraging alongside a dirt road in regenerating habitat. I heard this MOWA singing not far off and played one song and went about observing the GWWA. Not too long later I heard the MOWA right alongside the road calling and was able to capture this display which has been described per above. I want to emphasize I remained on the dirt road and didn't spend very much time with this MOWA but the story illustrates how sparingly one can often use calls in the field when photographing. The MOWA is a late migrant so he was likely just starting to set up shop.

Continuing the nature theme: An old one taken on a dog walk in Gillingham along the river Waveney with my old Canon Ixus 700 compact digital. Not the best quality but raises a smirk anyway...

The Common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) courtship display is a dramatic,, winter-to-spring ritual where males (drakes) exhibit complex, choreographed, and energetic behaviors to impress females. The most iconic move is the "head-throw," where the male snaps his head back to touch his tail/rump before whipping it forward, accompanied by a loud call and a kick of water.

Captured handheld with my 70-200mm lens and 2x Extender, the dramatic saturation of colour in this is not a result of editing. This is how it looked out of camera, aside from my usual editing regime, due to some wonderful back light and shading from the sun and clouds. Enjoy!
