For #ForestFriday, a bit of the incredible scenery near Funes, Italy (aka Villnoess) near the Swiss border. It’s part of the Dolomites mountain range. #Woodlands #Trees #Scape #Wilderness #Nature #mountains #NaturePhotography

Helen says today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestBeaks and the alt is #YellowElements. This juvenile flamingo hasn’t yet developed its bright pink plumage so its beak seems to glow. And of course, my favorite beak of all - an Atlantic puffin. #birds #ECK
A young flamingo is pale pink, standing in the sand on the ocean’s surface line. A black and white puffin is standing in tall green grass. Its orange, yellow, black and white striped beak is prominently displayed.

We stopped the car to take (yet another) photo of the Dolomites’ beauty and this guy came trotting right up to us. I imagine he wanted food but he didn’t look malnourished. We kept our distance simply because rabies is always a distinct possibility. #animals #nature

My #BestOfTheMonth for today’s #BirdOfTheDay is this over-confident mockingbird. He appears to think he’s an eagle or something by his pose. From a photography perspective, the light and focus are perfect (not always the case for me). #birdphotography #ECK #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky

You don’t see this often in America but it’s an everyday thing in Europe. A elderly couple sharing a bench in the town square, both reading print media-him a magazine & her a newspaper. It was about 60°F & they lingered for an hour. (I kept a respectful distance as I didn’t ask to take the pic.)
An elderly couple sits on a bench in Piazza Carli, Asiago, Italy. The square is planted with trees and bright flowers. Old yellow buildings are in the distance.

A light brown bird is perched in the notch between bare  tree branches. It is in profile, but looking backwards over its shoulder. The tree is without any leaves.

Rob’s #BirdOfTheDay is #Redheads, birds with red head plumage or beaks. The alt is any #Gull. This redheaded woodpecker even has the theme in its name. #ECK #birds #birdphotography #birdsofbluesky #wildlife #nature #Photography
Small bird with a red head and black and white body is perched on a dead tree branch that’s angled diagonally across the picture frame. The background is out of focus green foliage. The picture was taken in South Carolina.
