Waters of Dawn
This image was captured about three years ago at a small, secluded pond on the outskirts of Albany, Georgia, hidden away between hotels. The original scene featured two birds: this immature white ibis (Eudocimus albus) and a great egret. However, in my mind's eye, I envisioned the ibis and the water isolated, just as they appear here.

Good morning. ☮️✌️🪻
4 April 2025
Yesterday, we spent time working in the backyard. I repaired a hinge on the back gate and mowed the lawn for the first time this year. I also trimmed around the fence until the battery on my trimmer died—I had forgotten to recharge it after its last use. In that moment, I couldn’t help but think, 'What a wonderful feature: built-in breaks! 😂' It turned out to be the perfect excuse to call it a day. Meanwhile, my wife was busy in the raised garden, planting something new. I noticed several little seed packets in the kitchen, hinting at her plans. This is the first time in years that something other than weeds will grow in the garden. I can't help but wonder what’s gotten into us—where did this burst of energy come from? Must be biorhythms at work.

Here’s his photo ‘Chased by the Light’ taken in Ely.” - Minnesota Governor Tim Walz

@noondlyt Seems to me you have the subject and object reversed in that second clause.

Finch Above
This is a male house finch (Haemorhous mexicanus), you can tell by his rosy plumage around his head and chest.
You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.

@SearingTruth @spaceghoti You need to put that “truth” back on the grill. It is not adequately seared yet.
@Melissabeartrix You mean, like when you fix a dog?
Because, that might help.
Though, the world would probably complain a lot.

@AlliFlowers AIUI, there was a fair number of American voters who failed to vote for Ms Harris because they were afraid the MAGAts who get all violent and stuff if ShitGibbon lost.
I guess they would rather be shit upon than face crazy angry idiots.
@RickiTarr when I hear people call themselves a founder I think of the intransitive verb
Sitting in the Morning Sun
In the water off the beach at Gulfport, Mississippi, there are several timber piles, reaching up out of the water a hundred meters or so offshore. Birds use them to rest on, particularly the birds who dive for their food. This silhouetted bird appears to be a brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis).
