I saw someone else's post of a Hummingbird and I just had to go back a little while when it was warm. Here a female Ruby-throated Hummingbird is taking a little rest on a Salvia in my backyard.
A Red-shank (Tringa totanus) was found resting on its one leg with a typical posture of the shank species in its natural habitat. I love the green Bokeh transformation in the backdrop and the blurring gradient of the depth of field which gives a glimpse of everything surrounding. The bird really stands out against such ambience. It was taking a short rest in between its foraging. Pics was taken from Purbasthali, Burdwan, West Bengal, India.
Atlantic County, New Jersey
American Avocets are rare to uncommon migrants here in New Jersey, usually appearing in August or September. However, this small flock appeared at the Forsythe NWR in July. I tired several times to get a group shot, but they were usually way out in the water feeding or blocked from view by marsh grass. This was the one chance I had to photograph them but they were resting, eyes closed and bills tucked into their chests. There were also Short-billed Dowitchers feeding all around them. And so I waited and waited, sweating in the summer heat and being attacked by biting flies and mosquitos. All to get this one shot!
European Wasp (Vespula germanica)
It had been flying around me when it decided to take a rest on an Ivy leaf.
This is the first swallow I met this spring. Swallows are back and they are now building their nests with mud and hay. This one is taking a rest, from its work. Notice the beak (its tool for the constructions) covered with mud.
Probably here forever as a remnant of transportation for the people from years ago in Sunrise, WY.
Tomorrow is a big event in Wyoming - the total solar eclipse. We are within an hour of totality. I will just enjoy it, no photography this time.

The Browne Creek Wetlands are adjacent to the Vedder River and offer many kilometres of trails. Rivers and other waterways in this area are diked to prevent flooding, making the connected and almost endless dyke trails excellent for biking, walking, or horse back riding.

Much hand painting.
Thanks for your visit, faves, and kind comments.
Why birds stand on one leg , I am still trying to work that one out - yes one leg gets a rest , but then the other one gets double the work and has to work harder keeping balance !!
I am also not sure what they are doing with their feather sticking out every which way .
If they do overbalance the landing will be soft - but wet !!

Thank you for your views and comments. They are all greatly appreciated.
A Pika rests in the warm morning sun high up above the tree line. Making its home in the jumble of rocks and boulders in the alpine region of the rocky mountains, safety is always a quick dash away under some crevice and away from danger.
Mount Evans, Colorado.
I would like to tell everyone who commented, invited, faved or took a look at my creations (paintings), that I am thankful and apreciated.
Take off your shoes, sit on the sand for a while, take a deep breath and smile. There is still a long way to go...

In the heart of a misty forest, where the purple heather bloomed in abundance a soft voice, as gentle as a whisper, drifted through the wind, "Come in and rest a spell."

Around 930am this morning I looked out the back window and saw this fox resting at the back edge of the yard. I have seen her off and on in the past year but have not been able to get any good images of her since this past Spring/Summer. These were taken through glass out the back garage door.

Another shot from my walk on the Cahore Point Trail. Lovely golden beach and a stairs leading up to the trail. A couple wisely taking a rest and enjoying the waves before tackling the climb.
