Sunny Bird

This pretty bird didn’t mind the sun at all. The day was scorching hot, but s/he stood in the bright rays while having a look around. This bird was part of a big flock that was hanging around a marsh filled with cattails.

Flower & Bee!

I was lucky to catch this pretty, natural image of a bee on a purple flower. I don’t see as many bees around as I used to, and it’s hard to catch them sitting still long enough to get a snapshot. This scene happened in Autumn, but the plant’s leaves were still a vibrant green. The plant was growing beneath a holly tree.

Nandu Bird in Chile

Wild nandu birds are native to this part of southern Chile. This one wandered into a farm field near Torres del Paine National Park. When these birds get upset, the feathers on their necks stick out. This one was agitated because horses entered the pasture and got too close. The nandu chased the horses away.
