This isn't a dandelion. What kind of flower does this besides dandelions? I can't figure out which flower turned. It's bigger and sturdier than a dandelion.

EDIT -- just figured it out. It's yellow salsify.

Taking a break from hunting, this Reddish Egret got a little fluffed up during preening.

Long Tailed Tit

Canon R5 Rf 200 800

This Green Heron is a regular visitor at the pond. He is quite friendly and lets me come very close for photos. I watched him preening for a long time and when he was done, he gave himself a great shake and all these tiny bits of fluff went flying into the air. A nice experience! :)

Squirrel antics in the morning sunshine... and with a twinkle in its eye! 😉

Perfect lockdown image too... through the kitchen window. 😉

Have a nice day! Keep smiling! 😀

In the wintry light and bokeh, the Sony equipment captured this sparrow feather details very nicely. Recommend viewing large to take in those details. The range of color and patterns in these feathers is really pretty under the right conditions.

Finishing its preening....

On frosty Christmas day morning!

Song Sparrow. Taken this morning while walking Jasmine. Scroll down to see different poses. This was the cutest and most cooperative bird.

[Thanks LeapFrog! for catching my mid-identification].

From a bit earlier this year ... pretty yellow flowers with a bit of seed fluff caught on one flower.
