We visited in September. I am in awe of it’s grandeur. I live in the Pacific NW, so my grandeur bar fairly high. Where in Alaska?

🙏 thank you!

A Snowy Egret in flight, left to righ of frame, wings at the lowest, yellow face catching the sun, yellow feet trailing. Calm water in the background.

#FavouriteoftheMonth is the #BirdoftheDay, and a few contenders as I browsed through, but getting some better BIF shots with my new camera/lens combo I think it has to be this one. A Snowy Egret in flight towards the low sun. #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin #Nature #Wildlife #BirdsofBlueSky

The light in this shot is exquisite Brian!

I missed WordlessWednesday, so I checked a thesaurus & found that we could have a #TongueTiedThursday (or Tuesday), as well as a MuteMonday, SpeechlessSaturday & SilentSunday. & maybe even an InarticulateFriday, but I won't hold my breath for them.
anyway, here's some bleeding hearts

Nice catch!

Great shot! A camera and Alaska❤️

A great blue heron perches on a branch in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical black and white photograph the heron fills the frame as it stands on a branch looking to its right. The background are mountains at Indian Peaks Wilderness. The heron is aware that the photographer is taking their picture, but has not taken flight yet. Photo by Kort Duce

A blurred black & white photo of a female flamenco dancer mid dance. Her skirts and scarf held above her head blur outwards with the movement of her dance/turning. Behind on the dimly lit stage are musicians playing guitar & clapping.

Dramatic.

Pelican

Pelicans are amazing creatures that run from goofy to graceful in their actions. Sometimes they even show #Poise like this one. #BirdOfTheDay

#EastCoastKin #Manitoba #Pelicans #BirdPhotography #Birds #NatureIsArt #Birding

Elegance in simplicity. Very nice photo.

A pod of pelicans are trying to 'encourage' its fellow pelican into sharing the fish it has caught. On of my fav photos from last year.

#BirdOfTheDay #White #EastCoastKin #Pelicans #Birds #Wildlife #NatureIsArt

Excellent photo! I can see why it is a favorite.

🤣

Thank you for making me smile today😊
