Happiness is finding in the woods the first flowers of spring this year, the snowdrops. Its petals look like little wings that seem to want to provide the peace☮ we need right now.
“A loving heart, determination, faith, courage, trust, belief, truth, and a solid soul create the wings with which we fly.”
― A.D. Posey
Butterflies can't see their wings. They can't see
how beautiful they are, but everyone else can.
People are like that.
The anhinga, sometimes called snakebird or darter, is a water bird of the warmer parts of the Americas. Unlike ducks, ospreys and pelicans which coat their feathers with oil from their uropygial gland, the anhinga does not have waterproof feathers. Their feathers get soaked upon immersion in water. Therefore, they cannot stay floating on water for long periods of time. The anhinga cannot fly with wet feathers. If it attempts to fly while its wings are wet, the anhinga has difficulty, flapping vigorously while "running" on the water. Like cormorants, the anhinga stands with wings spread and feathers fanned open in a semicircular shape to dry its feathers and absorb heat. They face away from the sun to dry their feathers.

“To be an angel, one need not have wings.
In giving love there is an equal grace.
Nor need one seek the aura in the face,
As love unveils the beauty of all things.”
~By Francois Couperin.

While photographing Least Tern chicks of all ages on the sandy beach near Bonita Springs I saw the young one trying out it’s newly forming wings. They look like angle wings.

It was a windy day and the dragonfly was clinging tightly to the branch as it vibrated back and forth. I fired a burst of shots and later merged them in Photoshop to create this image for Wing Wednesday, with added toning applied.

I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.
The world is like a book and those, who do not travel, only read the first page.

In the Children's Garden at Dauset Trails there are many wonders to see, from the great variety of flowers, which changes season to season, to all the winged wonders who visit all those varied flowers.
Our second destination at Dauset Trails was the Children's Garden. There were plenty of these Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterflies flitting about. I just love all those wonderful colors on their wings!
Not disappointed at Dauset Trails.

Windmill in The Detmold Open Air Museum
The LWL-Freilichtmuseum in Detmold is a great place to learn and experience the world of our ancestors. The open-air-museum is covered with buildings, tools, animals and plants of countryside life in Northwest Germany in the last couple of centuries. An endless source of inspiration for HDR photography.

Justo en el momento en que caía extendí mis alas y tomé vuelo
It must be the last flower photo for now.
Hey, I'm not a flower store or something. ;)
Try this ..... I honestly have no idea what flower this is. Its center looks like a cluster of small transparent insect wings when you look closely.
