A small kingfisher perched on a light-colored branch, showing off its striking plumage. Its head and upperparts shimmer with dark green feathers, while its wings display small white spots. The bird has a long, straight, black beak and a sharp gaze.

I don't know, but you might consider selling individual photos. Ask other photographers about it. I've seen a few who have websites. 😊

Mike, Do you sell you photos or sell a calendar?

Do you ever cut them and put them in a vase, Megan?

I am so jealous! This would cost a fortune at the local florist, if there are any . . . 😬 Very pretty! Beautifully arranged, too! πŸ’πŸ’™πŸ’•

I keep thinking about what seemed to be all the progress we made on women's rights in the US since I was a girl in the 70s, yet in the past decade all of the progress seems to have eroded.

Years ago, I assigned my college freshmen to choose an advertisement to analyze. They brought their ads to class, and presented them to me and their classmates. One was It for Dolce & Gabbana, and it depicted what the class and I perceived to be a gang rape scene. I'm still appalled by it.

Yes. The eyes, too, fascinated me as a child. I remember drawing pictures of the eyes and their various parts when I was in elementary school. Now, that I'm old, I wonder what colors and shapes am I not seeing clearly. 😭

Either those lily pads are gigantic, or that Heron is tiny. Great shot! πŸ’™

They're all lovely, but that last one is stunning! 😍
I recently bought curtains online; in one photo it shows how the color will look with different lighting. I'm fascinated by "color." I recall that there were several classes in college in which I could have studied this. One was a psych course.

Thanks, Joy! I hadn't thought of that. I usually go to one of the many family owned garden centers, but they aren't always helpful.
