Please no AI 'created' images/video -- I get that its involved in cameras and post production... Photographer (non human and human people). Book lover (and reader). Art lover (and collector). Anti capitalist and anti fascist (redundant that bit, I know).
#birdoftheday also includes birds on a #post. A GBH on a post in one of the marsh ponds #Toronto 's Leslie St. Spit, 2023.

#birdoftheday is #swans A couple of Trumpeter Swan cygnets. Lake Ontario, 2024. There were a couple of families moving together; six or seven cygnets; too long lens to get anything but closeups -- not the usual 'problem' photoing birds :)

Good morning, the #BirdOfTheDay theme today is paddling birds standing or walking in shallow water. Here a North American Coot shows off her ever so odd made for walking on land as well as paddling in the water feet. Lois Hole Park, Alberta 2020.

Capitalism works just fine; its objectives and values are supreme over all others.
What doesn't work, at all -- re having a civil, just and kind, healthy shared society -- is Capitalism as the working model of governance that it now most assuredly has become.
Fuck Capitalism.

My favourite shot of my visit to The Royal, yesterday. I love photos that tell a story; and I shoot far too few of them.
For the record, the goats, horses and cattle I saw were far (far!) better groomed than was (am?) I 😂
Been too long; forgot how much I love ag fairs.

Her answer is spectacular, but I would have still gone with, "If I thought you were physiologically able to do so, I'd tell you, Harry, to go fuck yourself."

Happy to see this guy eating a walnut in a tree a few feet from my balcony, rather than digging holes in my balcony garden containers to bury them, which he does, a lot. :)

Dozens of photographs of uniformed immigration agents shot by Chicago Sun-Times photojournalists in four separate locations since the court order show how the feds have fallen short. trib.al/XP5Wq9T
IDs are mismatched, illegible or still missing 3 weeks after judge’s order to immigration officers
In dozens of photographs at four locations, Chicago Sun-Times photojournalists documented federal officers failing to wear the “visible identification” needed to hold individuals accountable during the ongoing immigration “blitz.”

Not sure this qualifies for #birdoftheday #OddAngles, maybe more accurately bird leg at odd angles? Trumpeter Swan. Kept the leg like this long enough I began to wonder if there was an injury, but then she waddled away on both legs and all was good :)
