this is with regards to ice agents right? I believe they are wearing face coverings to conceal their identity, they should be identified in order for them to be found in contempt of these court orders and arrested

the wings are a varying shades of blue with a green hue, and moves from lighter to some dark black tips.

the photo is taken from behind, so part of the head and the neck is visible.

there is elephant grass all around.

Shooting with harsh sunlight is usually a no-no, but sometimes you find a frame that you want to capture none the less.

what a world it would be if nature compared

if flowers didn't flower because their neighbours were flowerier

you, my friend, must stop all that folly

no one can be more you you are youier.

YOUIER

Imagine if the moon refused to shine because the sun was shinier

if streams ceased to flow because the rivers were flowier

if snow didn't dare to fall because rain was fallier

if planets did not glow because stars were glowier

what a world it would be if nature compared

if flowers didn't flower because their neighbours were flowerier

you, my friend, must stop all that folly

no one can be more you you are youier.

a photograph of a medium sized water bird, with a long beak, and the beak in the water. further behind is a silhouette of a small rotund bird.

the rising sun is reflecting on the water as a long line, and there are streaks in it, due to ripples.
