Alan ‪ @alan678.bsky.social ’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PerfectPoise So after a few hours at the ER, I had to come home for #BOTD. Priorities! Thought I'd follow Dear Leader with a similarly posed, plainish bird, a Brown Honeyeater #ECK #birds #birdphotography #wildlife #Photography #Nikon

A Brown Honeyeater (Lichmera indistincta) - even the scientific name belittles its appearance. A rather plain brown bird with yellow outer wing feathers and some yellow in the tail, and a yellow highlight to its beak, and some black en pointe eyeshadow, and a black eye. The bird is posed horizontal clinging to foliage with its back to the camera and its head tilted.

STILETTO vs. EGO 4 She sat slumped... The 3 parts of this aftermath of an argument... so far. Trying to move on. #ECK #Poem #Poetry #verse #ImageAndVerse #PaintByWords #BlueSkyPoetry #poems #photography #abstract #ICM #Nikon

A black and white image with a background of intentional camera movement of trees and snow blurred to an abstract scene. Overlaid is a poem that reads as follows:
STILETTO vs. EGO

With rapier wit
There’d been a skewering.
Now she sat
With stunned anger,
In cold humiliation.

With iced steel.
There’d been no need for that!
To go so far
To say such things
To be so, so him!

An image featuring intentional camera movement of a snowy scene and trees. A poem is overlaid and it reads:
STILETTO vs EGO 2
He'd punctured her.
Torrential words wounding her.
Watching her crack;
Doubling the dose.
Her esteem humbled.
A mere spark
Lighting his malevolence;
Unleashing him.
Never warranting this!
Never enough for this!

An image featuring intentional camera movement of a snowy scene and trees. A poem is overlaid and it reads:
STILETTO vs EGO 3
That one little word
Had ignited the fire
Had drawn his ire.
And as he’d pierced her with his venom
She shattered and broke

Just that one little word
She’d flung it to wound and hurt
The response had surprised
She’d never expected this
Never so much of this

An image featuring intentional camera movement of a snowy scene and trees. A poem is overlaid and it reads:
STILETTO vs EGO 4
She sat slumped;
A picture of hurt.
He calmed with his fury spent.
He tried, "Sorry."
Knowing it would fail.
He reached gently;
She flinched.
With words so weaponised;
Was there a way back?
A way to heal?

Neil Cameron@neilcam57· Jul 11

Not that I've ever known. They tend to be a bit flighty, but that doesn't mean to say others elsewhere haven't hand fed them so that they do. Generally there's plenty of seed for them around such that they don't need that. This is the male, and why they're called Superb Fairywrens.

A male Superb Fairywren singing lustily. It has a vibrant blue head with black markings and a black chin. It has a white chest and is perched in a pine tree of some type.

Neil Cameron@neilcam57· Jul 11

What a terrific shot, Alan! The bird's great, but I particularly love old stone ruins, especially walls. Which reminds me that I need to go reshoot this. I want a better angle, although it's hard as there's very limited access and I was shooting from the side of the road.

Your faces may be having a nervous breakdown. I did find someone's castanets though.

A large banksia nut has split open and strongly resembles both an open mouth and a castanet.

Banksia seeds doing their best to create a pareidolia face, and a Bird's Nest fern just hanging out. #ECK #ForestFriday #Photography #Nikon #PhotographersUnited #PhotographersOfBlueSky #BlueSkyArtShow #Scape #nature

Four seed pods on what was formerly a banksia flower are arranged so as to give the impression of a face with eyes, nose, and mouth. The dried out stamen perhaps add to the impression by appearing as a fuzzy beard and hair.

Green leaves radiate out from a base with brown old leave hanging down. The fern is attached to a tall tree trunk.
