Daily Image #20

Daily Image #20Yesterday’s image was the odd Ibis, with its curved bill and punctuated eye.  Today we have the even more odd Roseate Spoonbill. The magnificent color of its feathers nearly caused the extinction of this extraordinary bird. In the early 20th Century the feathers were prized for women’s hats. What a sin it would have been to lose this beautiful bird for fashion.

Daily Image #19White ibis feed in the marsh at Myakka River State Park. It is a common species in Florida and among my favorite. Their whimsical appearance always makes me smile.

Daily Image #18This two-inch mushroom shows the scars of being the meal for many insects before this fly landed to collect his share.  Who could resist such a beautiful color?  Something so deliciously violet must taste good.

More of the stupendous season of wildflowers at Myakka River State Park. This shot is just off the highway, where the river narrows into a serpentine flow. Yellow tickseed flowers are as far as the eye can see.☙

Hurrah for the Highlands I have trod merry England and dwelt on its charms; I have wandered through Erin, the gem of the sea; But the Highlands alone the true Scottish heart warms, Her heather is blooming, her eagles are free. —Andrew Park.
I have trod merry England and dwelt on its charms;
I have wandered through Erin, the gem of the sea;
But the Highlands alone the true Scottish heart warms,
Her heather is blooming, her eagles are free.
