Koinobori or carp streamers are carp-shaped windsocks displayed on Children’s Day in Japan. Children's Day is annually celebrated on May 5th.
Families will raise these carp-shaped windsocks to pray for perseverance and success of their children.
What is a celebration without streamers and glitter, smile and celebrate big, but here is a Macro Mondays small part of the big celebration.
I just want to celebrate another day of livin'
I just want to celebrate another day of life
I put my faith in the people
But the people let me down
So I turned the other way
And I carry on, anyhow
That's why I'm telling you
I just want to celebrate, yeah, yeah
Another day of living, yeah
I just want to celebrate another day of life

The Streamer-tailed Tyrant is a distinctive resident of Buriti palm groves and seasonally wet grassland from western Bolivia to central Brazil and to northeastern Argentina. Overall these birds appear pale gray with black wings that are highlighted by a patch of cinnamon at the base of the primaries. Aptly named, the Streamer-tailed Tyrant has a long deeply forked tail. Streamer-tailed Tyrants often perch conspicuously on the tops of low trees and bushes and utter a harsh repeated "wurreep" call. They forage by flying low over marshy areas before pouncing to the ground to catch large arthropods.
During courtship, the members of a pair of Streamer-tailed Tyrants perch 10-50 cm apart facing one another, while each bird alternately lowers their head and raises and fans their long tail. The birds then proceed to lower their tail and raise their heads while raising their wings and calling continuously. Source: Birds of the World.

The mist blowing up the valley kept sending up streamers that were lit yellow by the rising sun.

The annual bluebells thing I'm afraid. They're cliché, but a very pretty one when that morning light's pouring through.
Macro Mondays 17th Anniversary.. I joined Flickr in 2007 as well. I think I have been a member of Macro Mondays since 2011.. Good Lord 13 years with all of you..
Another busy day in littleworld. Even if there are still a few days to go until the new year. The streamers are already being prepared for the party by ironing them. And as always, you can rely on the hard-working little helpers.
Thank you for visits, comments and favs!

An upward unconnected leader (or upward streamer as it is more commonly termed) is a positively charged channel of ionized air that rises from ground objects (like buildings, towers, trees or even the ground itself) towards a negatively charged downward-moving "stepped leader" from a storm cloud. When an upward leader "connects" with a downward leader, the lightning bolt we see occurs. It is possible to catch (in a photo) one or some of the upward leaders who "didn't make it" to connect with the downward one.

Welcome Swallow
Scientific Name: Hirundo neoxena
Description: The Welcome Swallow is metallic blue-black above, light grey below on the breast and belly, and rust on the forehead, throat and upper breast. It has a long forked tail, with a row of white spots on the individual feathers. The outer tail feathers (streamers) are slightly shorter in the female. Young Welcome Swallows are buffy white, instead of rusty, on the forehead and throat, and have shorter tail streamers.
Similar species: The Barn Swallow, Hirundo rustica, is an uncommon visitor to parts of northern Australia. It can be distinguished from the Welcome Swallow by its black breast band and white underparts. Other swallow species include the White-backed Swallow, Cheramoeca leucosternnus, which has a white back and grey white head, and the Red-rumped Swallow, H. daurica, which is a rare visitor to Australia's north and has a red rump and streaked, chestnut underparts. Swallows are also confused with the martins, of which there are two species in Australia: the Fairy Martin, H. ariel, and the Tree Martin, H. nigricans. Both species have shorter, more square tails, and white to buff rumps.
Swifts (Family Apodidae) are similar in habits and appearance to the swallows, but have longer and more curved wings and differences in their flight. Swifts are rarely seen landing, while swallows are a common sight on wires, posts and other suitable perches.
Distribution: Welcome Swallows are widespread in Australia, but are less common in the far north than in the south.
Habitat: Welcome Swallows visit a wide variety of habitats with the exception of the more heavily forested regions and drier inland areas.
Seasonal movements: Welcome Swallows are partially migratory, moving around in response to food availability.
Feeding: Welcome Swallows feed on a wide variety on insects. They catch prey in flight, using their acrobatic flying skills. The prey is guided into the bird's wide, open mouth with the help of short rictal bristles bordering the bill. These bristles also help protect the bird's eye. Where insects are in large supply, Welcome Swallows feed in large flocks.
Breeding: Welcome Swallows readily breed close to human habitation. The nest is an open cup of mud and grass, made by both sexes, and is attached to a suitable structure, such as a vertical rock wall or building. The nest is lined with feathers and fur. The female alone incubates the eggs but the young are fed by both parents. Often two broods are raised in a season.
Calls: The call is a mixture of twittering and soft warbling notes, and a sharp whistle in alarm.
Minimum Size: 15cm
Maximum Size: 15cm
Average size: 15cm
Average weight: 15g
Breeding season: August to February
Clutch Size: Three to five.
Incubation: 21 days
Nestling Period: 21 days

This pattern in the aurora borealis was streaming like those air socks they put in front of stores to attract attention. I would have bought whatever they were selling. Healy, Alaska, USA, November 2021
