Sunday Stills~ Wings

 

I’m honored that Ed chose my Sunday Stills suggestion for this week’s challenge: Things with Wings. (Hey Ed, what do I win? hehe!)

(Note: My camera is just a point and shoot Canon PowerShot SX110 IS, so I have no photography details to share on what lenses I used, shutter speed, etc. I do things simple around here. hehe!)

I started off with this photo from the barn (what kind of bird is this called?):

 

Then while visiting the zoo on Thursday, I remembered the challenge and started noticing winged creatures all over the place.

Some very flamboyantly colored winged creatures, too.

And some not so colorful. Well at least, maybe, not yet.

 

And some with not much color at all. But looking elegant, just the same.

And some with tasteful accents of color.

And some little fuzzy-butts, more focused on using their legs to swim, than using their wings.

And some winged creatures much more interested in watching tasty fish swim.

And one more winged thing, proud to be the state bird of New Mexico.

They all have wings……..

But lest you think I’m too one-sided, here’s another winged thing, from a mural that I spied while driving through downtown Albuquerque.
