After their storytimes, we had little kids trick or treat through each department and Friends bookstore at the library where I work, and the kids were so cute in their costumes. We love it, and so do our patrons.

An American Avocet is a soft gray and black wading bird with longish, pale legs. It's easy to spot because its bill is very long and thin, and turns up at the end. This particular bird is in the water, and very politely stood still and showed me its best side.

#autumn where I live looks pretty much the same as other seasons, until the migratory birds arrive 🀩 My 1st sighting of an American Avocet 🩢 #BlueSkyArtShow #Florida #migratory #Saturday #beach #Birdwatching #nature #photography #birds 🐦πŸͺΆ

Gatorland is one of my favorite places, but, as a Floridian, I wouldn't want to visit this state, either - concentration camp in the Everglades, new law allowing open carry, ICE, just to name a few things. By now my area is usually full of snowbirds, but not this year

A fiery skipper is an orange and brown winged butterfly with a chonk, fuzzy body. This skipper is relaxing, wings open, on grass green leaves.

A smallish heron with gray body, darker gray feathers, black band on its face, and a pale yellow crown. It's sitting in profile behind some green leaves by a stream, with its eye half closed

A photo of a road with 2 cars passing, and palm trees and a building in the background. The sky is bright blue, but with some gray and some gray and white puffy clouds. On the right side of the photo a sticker stuck on an orange road sign reads "fuck a fucking job"

99.9% of my photos are nature & birds, so this is the only #road shot I have for #BlueSkyArtShow I took it because the sticker made me laugh πŸ˜‚ #photograph #photography #urban #Saturday #Florida

An all white juvenile cattle egret with shadows of branches on its wings. Its wings are spread, its yellowish beak is open for breakfast, and it has baby floofy feathers sticking up like a mohawk on the top of its head.
