A kestrel rests in a palm tree. It's all puffed-up and its wings are straight back in a stretch.

I had only ever read about a hummingbird's forked tongue. Yesterday, I captured one.

Standing under an orange tree with the setting sun behind me, I was photographing a hummingbird on a branch above. When I downloaded the pics, I saw that I finally captured a hummingbird bird's fork-tip tongue.

Let there be no doubt:

Any pro-Palestinian events that take place on October 7th are a celebration of October 7th

The ground war didn't start until 20 days later

Any pro-Palestinian events that take place on October 7th are a celebration of a time when Israel was still finding bodies and trying to identify them from their teeth

Anyone at this event supports Hamas and rape and kidnapping.

If you thought I was kidding, no. On the 2nd anniversary of the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust, they will "flood" NY (as in Al Aqsa Flood, Hama's name for the October 7 massacre) 'for Gaza'.

Two years of heartache and hell. We will never forget the men, women and children who were massacred in their homes & at a music festival. May the hostages come home and may those who justified and celebrated that day be forever ashamed #neverforget #october7 #bringthemhome #amyisraelchai #jewsky

The sun rising over the hills, lighting the landscape in an orange glow. There are clouds in the sky and wind turbines in the foreground.

Posting another cute bird for #ColorADay #OrangeSun #Robin #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

A close-up of a European robin perched on a thin branch. The bird’s bright orange-red breast and face stand out against its soft brown and grey feathers. It grips the branch with delicate claws, its dark eye gleaming in the sunlight. The background is softly blurred with hints of green leaves and brown twigs, giving a warm feeling.
