I have lived with several Zen masters -- all of them cats.

"Bow down in position
Against the polished steel
This is something different
You'll like the way this feels
No time for asking question
No time for wondering
We've heard enough from you now
We've heard everything
We're going to play a new game
You'll put on this blindfold
You'll do what we tell you
You'll do as you're told
Used to be the leader
But now comes the time to serve
Maybe we show some mercy
Maybe you get what you deserve"

Many thanks for comments and visits ;-)
Wingardium Leviosa. It was the first spell she learned and, as it turns out, is one of her best spells. At first she could barely lift anything, or everything would backfire. Now? Now she could pull a person up by their clothing or move an object from across the room. Still, this didn’t mean she didn’t have to practice.
“Wingardium Leviosa,” she said quietly to herself and smiled as her books and papers lifted up around her.
Great Potoo - Wild - At Pantanal - MT.
With its characteristic drawn-out moaning growl, the vocalizations of the Great Potoo are among the most exciting and perhaps most unsettling nocturnal sounds in the Neotropics. Apart from its vocalizations, the Great Potoo is an intriguing species. Great Potoos are nocturnal and feed on large flying insects, and occasionally bats, which they capture in sallies from a high perch. During the day, they remain motionless in mimic of broken tree branches. The Great Potoo is distributed throughout humid and semihumid forested habitats in Central and South America. Across this vast region, there is little geographic variation in size or in plumage; two subspecies sometimes are recognized, but these do not differ greatly from each other. Despite the lack of conspicuous geographic variation, populations on either side of the Andes have been found to be very distinct genetically. This level of divergence is similar to the genetic divergence found between other species of potoo, pointing the possibility for ‘cryptic’ species within the Great Potoo lineage. neotropical.birds.cornell.edu/Species-Account/nb/species/...
Happy Thursday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Les objectifs à très grandes ouvertures, souvent appelés les “bokeh masters”, font rêver. Ultra lumineux, ils permettent de travailler en basse lumière, créer une profondeur de champ très réduite et magnifier un sujet en développant un flou en avant/arrière très prononcé.

Very wide aperture lenses, often called “bokeh masters”, are the stuff of dreams. Ultra-bright, they allow you to work in low light, create a very shallow depth of field and magnify a subject by developing a very pronounced front-to-back blur.

… that, and the focus was just a little on the soft side + camera shake.

Chuck-Will's-Widow (Antrostomus carolinensis)
Buffalo National River, Arkansas, U.S.A.
A Chuck-will's-widow roosts quietly on a tree branch, camouflaged by its cryptic plumage.
I was thrilled to find one of these birds while hiking along the bluffs above the Buffalo River. This nocturnal species is the largest nightjar species in North America and the only one I've ever seen. Unfortunately, it is currently classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN.
The spectacular Buffalo National River in northern Arkansas holds the distinction of being the first National River in the United States. Stretching 153 miles (246 km), it was officially protected on March 1, 1972, through an Act of Congress. This designation put an end to repeated efforts by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build dams along its course.
This came flying at me - about 2" long. It was eating the tiny wildflowers in my yard. Casa Grande, AZ. April 2020
It came as a surprise to me that the Red-tailed Hawk is a pretty fast bird for its size. According to Cornell, when they are soaring or flapping their wings, they travel 20-40 mph and when they are diving they may exceed 120 mph!
Photographed near the town of De Beque, Western Slope, Colorado.
This week the theme was old masters. I was looking through pictures by the old masters and chose dogs as topic. I was trying to emulate John Emms, I am not sure how successful I was. Moose wasn't thrilled about being up on the crate no matter how many treats were offered. He was finally persuaded up on the but then he wouldn't perk his ears. He still looks cute with his ears the way they are.
