Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme was announced as: #PerfectPoise Photographs where balance and posture tell a story. Alt #MomentsOfMajesty Elegant, regal or commanding poses. I took this shot several years ago at a bird sanctuary in the #FloridaKeys. Is this #BrownPelican showing poise or majesty?

Good morning Jaye! Thank you for your words of tranquil joy. May I share with you some of Neal's Morning Light (no words today, just the beauty of dawn):

Good morning Argent! Have a great day!

Hi Waffles! Jade is excited at the idea!

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is wild motion. I took this photo of an egret seemingly running on water several years ago. #Nature #NaturePhotography #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #Birds #BirdPhotography #Photography #Nikon

Good morning Doug. Sure, you think no one’s there. What about this guy?

Some birds #touchdown a bit less gracefully than others. Here, a Brown #Pelican touched down face first in the Gulf of Mexico off Key West, #Florida #BirdOfTheDay #Nature #NaturePhotography #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #Birds #BirdPhotography #Photography #Nikon

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is raptor. My favorite raptor shot is this pair of Ospreys taken in #Everglades National Park which I may have posted previously. #Birds #Nature #Wildlife #Photography #Nikon #Florida #NationalPark

Since it is #BarackObamaAppreciationDay a photo of my kid with U.S. Senate candidate Barack #Obama at a minor league baseball game. It was either a Schaumburg Flyers game or Kane County Cougars, I don't remember and that program the kid is holding which Barack autographed is safely packed away.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #TheGathering meaning flocks, colonies, etc. Here is a shot from my archive of some American White #Pelicans that fits the bill. #Birds #Photography #Nature #Wildlife #Nikon

Hello Argent. Good evening #FiresideFriends and hi Kristi welcome. Wow, I got all that out and it’s still Monday. Argent I hope everyone enjoys these smoked pinto beans with some Dino rib drippings.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Anatidae . I give you two ducks on a pond in Niles, Illinois taken a few years ago. #Nature #NaturePhotography #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #Birds #BirdPhotography #Photography #Nikon #NikonD90

Good morning Foxy and Friends. It’s a beautiful day here in paradise. Yup, I live in a great place. But for the politics and hurricanes, it would be paradise.

Yeehaw Argent! Good evening #FiresideFriends I'm ready to eat some barbecue and rock out. When I think 'cue, I think Texas brisket, so here's one to enjoy

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsWideOpen, the Alt Theme is #Laridae, any of the species or so I have read. I'm going with a Brown Pelican launching itself off a bridge in the Florida Keys. #Nature #NaturePhotography #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #Birds #BirdPhotography #Nikon #Florida

Hi Argent. Good evening #FiresideFriends I got the '64+ Mustang out of mothballs for this show. I hope folks like a good pony fastback.

For some reason, the person who decrees the #BirdOfTheDay theme has blocked me. But today's theme is #Raptor so here is an #Osprey couple. #Nature #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography #Wildlife #BirdPhotography #Birds #Nikon

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #EFGH birds with names that start with E, F, G, or H. Here is a Frigate Bird flying overhead.

Good morning friends! The sky has turned blue. And another day begins here in paradise. I’ll be spending a good chunk of it on hold with my MAGA senators’ offices and my ultra MAGA representative’s office. I’ll have to decide what I’m calling about today. Any suggestions?

Good morning Foxy and friends. Here’s a picture of Jade. She passed on in December. I still miss her a lot. She was an older girl and loved to just lay around on the rug.

It was a LOT of driving. But I only got 1 speeding ticket. We were in a month old car, so it was still comfy and I was learning what it could do. Yellowstone was incredible. Mt. Rushmore on July 4 was nuts.

Such a long neck that this Anhinga curls it up. #BirdOfTheDay #Birds #Photography #Wildlife #Nature

I think it was a @skyyblue6.bsky.social post that I borrowed this from. He was the first candidate I volunteered for.

Good morning out there BlueSky. It’s a beautiful day. We’re awake and mostly aware. I’m going to have a great day today. I hope you do the same. It’s actually kind of grey out, so here’s a sunrise from my files. #NaturePhotography #Nature #Sunrise #Dawn #Florida

Morning BlueSky. I'm not sure if it is a good one yet. I'm up too early to decide. Whichever, it is another day for us to resist the regime in Washington. Let's each of us do our best to make it a miserable day for them. Yes, it's too early for sunrise, but here's one from my files anyway.

Good morning my friend. Have a beautiful day today.

This was taken prior to Hurricane Milton. I think they have finally rebuilt the pier.

This is a pic of one of those sunrises.

Call your senators! Call your reps! No $$ for ICE.

I see where today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Poise . I think this pelican fits the bill. #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography #Birds #Nikon
