It’s #WorldShorebirdDay and this Greater Yellowlegs is celebrating with some interpretative dance! #Birds 🪶

I'm not follower of trends. Fashion trends, music trends, hashtag trends; I tend to ignore these & do my own thing. An emerging trend that I'm 100% behind, however, is where folks who admire @glengrambo.bsky.social and his work repost one of his & wish him well as he recovers from a serious illness.

Arizona’s state bird, the Cactus Wren

#BirdOfTheDay: #OnOneLeg - birds seen balancing on one leg! Alt: #SpottySpeckled - any bird with spotted or speckled plumage. Steller's Jay ought to have a little clutch in their elegantly raised leg as they peruse the fresh produce section. #birds #becurious

Nice to find a bunch of late flowering Cowslip Orchids (Caladenia flava flava) in the Perth Hills this morning. These orchids are so bright and sunny, it’s hard not to love them 💛🌿 #orchids #ozflora #wildoz #nativeplants #inaturalist #bloomscrolling

Time, time, time See what's become of me While I looked around for my possibilities … Look around Leaves are brown And the sky is a hazy shade of winter … Hang on to your hopes, my friend That's an easy thing to say But if your hopes should pass away Simply pretend that you can build them again…

🎶 And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter … … … Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on 🎶
