From the pond in Bascharage, Luxembourg.

This is one of the new Shetland foals who were born last summer.

This Double-crested Cormorant was drying out it's wings at Oceanside Harbor when I started to shoot it. At one point, as it preened, it dropped it's head in front of its body and it looked like a headless bird for a moment. For this image its moved its head and bill around to its back to preen those neck feathers.

I think this bird is in breeding plumage as it had those small tufts on both sides of its head.

Taken 13 February 2018 at Oceanside Harbor, California.

and I'll scratch yours.

Les rues d'Alençon sont un éternel théâtre où se rejouent souvent des scènes similaires et familières, qui se déroulent souvent un peu partout dans le pays et ailleurs...

Tel ce personnage anonyme absorbé par son jeu de grattage...

La vie quotidienne de très nombreux français est faite de cela aussi...

Si la critique de "l'argent gaspillé inutilement" est facile, la vie d'un prolo l'est beaucoup moins.

Avec mon niveau de vie, même sans pratiquer, je comprends cette attitude. Sincèrement.

Ne pas comprendre cela est, en un certain sens, une sacrée chance... au loto de la vie.

We see a lot of green herons in late August and September. I assume our summer resident birds are joined by a few migrants during this period. I photographed this bird in late August 2018, He was animated and patient, so I have a lot of pics of him. Here he is scratching his eye which, given that sharp claw, must require a soft touch. I posted a tight crop in comment 1. Brazos Bend State Park in SE Texas. 8/2018

Grey squirrel leaning against a tree and having a scratch at Belleisle park, Ayr, Scotland.

Something is either concrete or abstract,not both:-) This is a cement face with a nasty scratch. I thought of this title myself but I wasn't the first,I think.

Wish I had more time to play this morning but just a quick shot of the sunrise through my scratched up sunglasses. I guess it's time for a new pair and perhaps to use a glasses case to prevent the scratches.

A Great Blue Heron gets really into scratching that itch.

I enjoy this photo because one can literally see the relief in the face of this little Stilt Sandpiper after scratching that itch

Depression

-Rupi Kaur-

yesterday

when I woke up

the sun fell to the ground and rolled away

flowers beheaded themselves

all that's left alive here is me

and I barely feel like living

depression is a shadow living inside me
