Snowy egret (Egretta thula) feet are called golden boots or golden slippers. The egrets jiggle one foot in the mud to stir up underwater prey (fish, frogs, crustaceans) so the bird can catch it. It appears they have "footedness" — an individual stirs with the same foot each time. #Birds#Birding#Yellow#NaturePhotography#California
Je continue ma série de monstres et créatures étranges, aujourd'hui un... chat ?
Peut-être ne le caressez pas de trop près et il a besoin de croquettes très spéciales.
Ici, je poste en noir et jaune, mais sur le dessin original, le jaune est une dorure à la cire d'or.
D'ailleurs !!
Je vais organiser une expo qur Rennes avec mes dessins de monstres, stay tuned comme on dit !
The obligatory crane photo. The two landmark cranes - “Goliath” and “Samson” - in the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast.
They’ve been moved close together to accommodate a huge ship in the dry dock making for a rare photo opportunity 😎
For #WildlifeWednesday here's a Carpenter Bee digging in on some Golden Eardrops (Ehrendorferia chrysantha).
Golden Eardrops are so-called "fire followers." Their seeds lay dormant in the soil for many years until wildfire burns an area, after which they grow quickly (and tall), stabilizing the soil before slower growing shrubs take over again. Nature is cool.
This is one of two pieces I created for the DIY Show "Uncommon Threads" many years ago. I demonstrated the steps for piecing the 3d roses for the topiary. That was a fun experience!
Available on my Etsy shop. Thank you for boosting artists!
Anselm Kiefer (born 8 March 1945) is a German painter and sculptor. His works incorporate materials such as straw, ash, clay, lead an shellac. Kiefer develops themes of German history and the horrors of the Holocaust…
Kiefer's use of straw in his work represents energy. He claims this is due to straw's physical qualities, including the colour gold and its release of energy and heat when burned. The resulting ash makes way for new creation and rebirth.
Hi, I'm FireStar from Marvel:) I wanted to paint something yellow so here we are. 😁 This is bodypaint plus a skin tight, professional, SFX-grade latex bra. I am both the model and the artist.

Holy guacamole, look at this showstopping #heliodor! Isn't that an amazing gilded #yellow?
It looks like if you planted it, watered it, and played a little gentle classical music that a whole entire solar system would sprout from the ground overnight.
Very #magical looking #jewel just begging to be wrapped up in some cerebral silver fantasy.
