No knees here, a bit further north of the Everglades (near Naples).
But I like the many forms and colors, and that clear blue blue water.
I think I'm enjoying "different" & "abstract" more of late. Realism is lovely in its place. But I'm preferring natural beauty more than the beast(s).our screens.
On a trip to Japan, I went to visit a botanical and zoological garden. I met this incredible bird that looked me directly in the eyes, with its gaze it inspires respect and a certain fear, but in reality it is a harmless bird, in fact, it is in a very vulnerable state of conservation. This bird is the shoebill (Balaeniceps rex). It is native to Africa, measures between 1.50 and 2.0 meters tall, and is a worthy heir of the Mesozoic dinosaurs. Although time has passed since that tremendous experience, I am still impressed by his gaze. #birds#myphotos#exoticanimals#trips#memories#kobe#japan
some more pictures from my bugs and #birds day in the garden! nothing too exotic but lots of familiar faces* in the garden today. i was joined by my house #sparrow neighbours (they nest in the tree at the end of the garden), some #pigeons and a #magpie 🐦⬛ of course, a day in north wales wouldn't be complete without some #seagulls too (not pictured)
bonus "spot the sparrow" in the fourth pic (description in the alt text)
