Two Demoiselle Cranes (Grus virgo) were framed in a delightful classic posture standing against each other in their natural habitat. It was all by the patience that paid off well for different poses they offer but only after spending long time. I had to approach very slowly from distance and finally managed some delightful moments together. The isolation of the subject and the creamy bokeh made them really stand out here. Pics was taken from a village in Rajasthan, India.
Teilhard would say that the challenge of spirituality is to integrate what does not seem to fit. To make it fit requires expanding one’s consciousness to new levels. As people add more and more complexity to their lives and integrate it, they continue to expand and further develop their consciousness.

I do love the attitude the Robin does display all in one stance - defiance, bravery, curiosity, pride, territorial and beauty. I got a few more shots of this lovely model yesterday.
Well in my judgement anyhow, this little male Siskin is taking a proud stance and showing of his beautiful plumage including his little black cap. I like these birds that have only recently joined the bird feeder crew. They bring colour and a different sweet song to the proceedings.

I found this Coppery Leafhopper (Jikradia olitoria) the other day, sitting on a beggartick (Bidens spp.) leaf. When I approached, instead of frantically hopping away, he just kinda... posed. He got into this position, and just stared at me. Every now and then, he would do a little "dip" down a mm or so, then come right back up.
I assume this is the missing third "F" from the famous phrase "fight or flight", and I don't mean reproduce!
Some creatures have the unfortunate reflex to freeze in place at the first sign of danger. Heck, some *people* do this, too! The running "logic" behind the reflex is that most predators are sight-based. So, with a slight movement, you can draw attention to yourself that you may not want! This means it is entirely feasible to survive an encounter by simply opting out.
The slight "dipping" motion can be explained, too. Hoppers like this use small motions to help sell themselves as leaf litter, instead of protein-packed power snacks. Basically, this guy saw a monolithic monkey make moves to meet (and most likely munch) him, and decided to mimic a leaf!
Luckily for him, I prefer beef.
This shot was captured at 1:1 using my Vivitar (Komine) 90mm f2.8 Macro. This photo is uncropped. This friendly frozen fella is around 7-8mm long.
My friend is a real national player for wushu. His skills are really fantastic and awesome. It's really C-O-O-L!

There's also a black & white version of this that I rather like..
Don't worry, Michael is not adopting the ridiculous Tory stance, he was taking a photo of his shadow, before spotting the opportunity for this photo.
The vivid black-and-white markings of the African sacred ibis certainly ensure that this bird stands in stark contrast to the greens, browns, and blues of the South African landscapes. They have the same silhouette as their hadeda relatives but are undoubtedly set apart by their plumage. The African sacred ibis favors marshes and shorelines, where it can wade peacefully in the water and mud in search of a meal. As urbanization and development continue, these birds have also been known to visit rubbish dumps and farming areas.
