A raptor stands tall on a branch, with yellow leaves and blue sky behind. The raptor's wings are dark brown (almost black), with a streak of the same color extending through the yellow eye. The breast is white with a few brown speckles. The belly is white.

Don't let the weather get you down. The beauty about photography is that there are always opportunities, you only need to see them! Tsitsikamma National Park, South Africa.

For the #BlueSkyArtShow

How to define #Evening?

To me it is that time

When the sun is low

But has not yet set.

Leading to this entry:

Artemisia Geyser

Has a dramatic eruption

In the evening

My contribution to #StunDay is a set of Angel Wings from an elusive Bittern playing Hide & Seek with me, teasing me with it's location then just disappearing just as fast.

Several cypress trees rise from rippled water, staggered from one another. Through them a lake and darkened shoreline are visible in the distance. The autumn foliage glows with copper tones.

Close up of anhinga fills the 9x16 frame, from beach in the upper right hand corner, to taloned flippers at the bottom, giving no U.S. side eye of course.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #StandingOnThings except the Floor, and the Alternative is #Gulls

I've gone with an Anhinga on a fence, though he looks fairly certain to me.

A sunlit royal blue bird with a rusty red chest and sides along a white belly stands on top of a bright pink-red pokeberry stem filled with dark leaves and deep purple berries in profile facing left against a warm orange-brown background. His head is lifted, and he is just slightly looking back over his shoulder. With the sun glinting off his black eye and his blue feathers shimmering, he looks as if he is a supermodel posing for a photoshoot.

Close up of a lily's center. Purple petals fading into white as they go to the center of the flower, dotted with tiny dark purple hairs. The elongated stamens are pollenated orange with a dark brown top, looking like an eclair. The stamen stems are a pale green.

The hawk is my favorite and also the oldest of these. I should really use colored pencils more often.
