Moonset over the San Jacinto Mountains today. #PalmSprings #Nature #PhotographyArt

Almost full moon descends over the jagged top of the mountain range. A single palm tree forms the right border of the shot. The blue of the sky is amplified in processing to bring out the detail of the moon's surface. Now, it looks like there are actual lakes on the moon. We all need a little fantasy at this point.

Thank you, Dave! I thought it was just a "lovers' quarrel", but the expert next to me said I could remove the word "Lovers".

Thanks so much, Marina!! Have a great day.

It was a special early morning at the Lagoon yesterday--so much action. Hope you have a great day, Buddy!! 💙

Thank you, Roshan! And I agree, the one on the right seems extra bossy.

#TwosDay These two belted kingfishers are discussing property rights at the Lagoon. Let's try to have a good day. #Birds #Photography #Nature

A male and female kingfisher stand on a telephone wire facing each other against a clear blue sky. The both have wings extended and tails flaired as their beaks point at each other. One has the beak open in conversation with the other.

Waaaayyyy too much flexing by Contreras as he rounded the bases after that home run. Need to crush the Brewers now.

A majestic Grey Heron stands in shallow, rain-dimpled water, with a smaller white bird nearby. The scene is framed by a muddy bank and bare branches. See more at www.lukehaigh.co.uk. #Birds #lukehaigh #birdphotography #photography

Just so you know 😉, the females are just as pretty (if not more so). This female vermilion was taken about 50 feet away from that male. Maybe they know each other.

A plump little flycatcher sits facing the camera on an angled twig. She has a rusty/orange chest a white neck/bib and a gray cap. She has a stubby, pointed black beak and small black eye. She looks up and to the right.
