Happiness Eastern Bluebird, <i>Sialia sialis</i>, high enough that some of my companions on the monthly bird hike were uncertain of the ID until I zoomed in about this tight while chimping. “Ron’s got a bluebird,” they said, making me happy. 😃

Emerald Isle Perched pond in the middle of a neighborhood keeps the alligators out, and the moat keeps the cats out, making this a nice place for birds of various sorts. Pretty similar to a previous B&amp;W post. Maybe I’ll be rested enough to be a little more creative next week. Maybe.
Happy Tree Tuesday!

Spirit of Abundance Skein of Black-Bellied Whistling Ducks, <i>Dendrocygna autumnalis</i>.
The web says a group of ducks in flight is called a “skein”, which it isn’t unless we do, so I have. 😃

Letting Go Equanimity.
Acceptance will sustain us.
Be Here Now, Always.

American Lotus, <i>Nelumbo lutea</i>. Looking back and forward to plentiful water in Cullinan Park.

Watch Your Back Muscovy Duck, Cairina moschata. Not a long-time native of Texas, but like many others, got here as soon as it could. Originally Latin American, “Muscovy” is probably a transliteration from some Indigenous language. Happy Wing Wednesday!

No Obstacles Carom shot with triple reflection.
Happy Mono Monday!

Misty Morning A beautiful day in the neighborhood: lone tree, two black vultures, calm water, gentle breeze, light fog, island wildlife refuge in a pocket park, distant bridge, leaden sky.
Happy Mono Monday!

1. Chew Before Swallowing Posted in reverse chronological sequence, so the photo stream will read sensibly from left to right. Didn’t see what this youngster—about a meter long—caught. Never observed a ‘gator eating in the wild before or since. This one is in shallow water, 2 or 3 meters from the shore. Sometimes think this little spot next to the parking lot, with the park bench and easy access for kayak launch, is the most dangerous place in the park, but the Muscovy Duck standing next to me was not concerned, so why should I be?
