Stick Figures in Peril

A Great Blue Heron flies away from the camera as it carries a stick for building its nest. I believe this is the same heron that I featured on Thursday as it came in for a landing at the nest-in-progress. I've placed that image in the first comment.

HCS!
The Caspian Tern does an interesting landing. They sometimes drop from a high altitude and come down like this. The control their descent speed by the position of their wings. This image is a good display of exactly that.
I don't see these as much as I use to
Found predominantly in the tropics and subtropics stick insects thrive in forests and grasslands, where they feed on leaves. Mainly nocturnal creatures, they spend much of their day motionless, hidden under plants.
Many stick insects feign death to thwart predators, and some will shed the occasional limb to escape an enemy’s grasp. Others swipe at predators with their spine-covered legs, while one North American species, Anisomorpha buprestoides, emits a putrid-smelling fluid.
Little is known about stick insects, making it difficult to declare the vulnerability of their status in the wild. The pet trade presents a potential threat, along with the popular practice of framing their carcasses, like butterflies.
This is Bonnie catching the afternoon sun (not that we have seen much of that lately).The plastic toy in the shape of a bottle was brought into the garden by foxes.

♫♪♫... Good trucks, they'll run forever
If you keep oil in 'em and you treat 'em right
A good woman holds you together
She'll stick with you for the rest of your life
Good buddies will always come running
Got your back no matter what
But good dogs don't live long enough ... ♪♫♫
There was a low tide, almost no wind, soft misty sunlight, nobody around and Blanca found a first-class stick to play with! As good as it gets!
Gentle Juno loves to play in the water , not easy taking a picture with one hand while Juno shakes the other with the stick :))

HBW and Happy Earth Day!
I don't want to go another day
So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind...
The morning was sunny and we spent some time in the garden again. Linus tried to dig out some plants but soon got bored. When looking for new mischief to get into he found a stick in the rock garden which kept him entertained for a while (I swear I heard a sigh of relief from the plants). This photo sums up the character of Linus pretty well, I think !
This osprey was returning to its nest and hovered for a couple seconds allowing for this close in shot.

Thank you so much for visiting..!
Quite a ritual/courtship this passing of the sticks. She takes and places it with his concern. He will occasionally give her what seems to be endearing beaks to her back feathers. Yep..
A little fun with processing...
