.. a collage of floral shapes in a garden plot - early-morning walk through a local, Municipal Park yesterday.
Little Blue Heron - Juvenile. Small heron with strikingly different adult and immature plumages. Adult is distinctive: mostly grayish-blue with a contrasting deep purplish head and neck. Also note greenish legs and bicolored bill. Immatures are all white in their first year, with tiny dark tips on the outer wingtips. Camera: Sony Alpha 1 + FE 200-600mm
Thanks to Old BC guy for ever so gently pointing out that yesterdays Dragon fly is really a Damsel fly.
So the wild roses have been very prolific this years. Maybe those June rains paying dividends? These are a bit past their prime but I still like the shot.

High soaring turkey vulture, difficult to track and capture as their flight patterns are subject to rapid change.
he was informed yesterday
wondrous! ..... and p.s. that sounds just like what the military studies were saying: high altitude and erratic.

Since moving 2 years ago, I've really had a hard time finding my place both with my go-to locations just to kill some time photographing and also with ongoing projects. I finally have also started scanning again, and looking through one I think I may have found something-I live right off of old US 66, and there's so much fun and interesting stuff there. A lot of it has been photographed to death, but whatever. I think this may become a new project for me, although I'll lead it off with a photo taken a few years ago(before I moved).
The Brook's "World's Largest Catsup Bottle." This was taken with a Zeiss Super Ikonta 532/16, a camera I no longer have and regret selling. Ilford Delta 100, and I don't have development details but normally I do 120 film in D76 1:1.

From last week: Alfred happily dining on his fresh catch:
I'm finding the vegetation behind Alfred glorious. Do you know what it is; ... or anyone?

Commonly called the ‘elephant ear’ plant. Colocasia, alocasia, etc. Tropical in nature and they do get. A bit prolific.

Nice photo! You reminded me of the movie Rush Hour. Have you seen it, LOL? If not, highly recommend it!

Thanks, stillcrazyman! I hadn't paid that much attention, but around the lake on the one side we have a lot of vegetation, and even though it was cut back earlier, with a wet spring and early summer it has grown back again exponentially. It is nice for Alfred and his brethren to tuck themselves into for shelter and shade, and as seen in my photo, it makes a nice private dining area, too! Intent on his meal, Alfred probably didn't even notice the big lens pointed at him from the boardwalk across the lake....
We have aquatic vegetation, too, and the flowers which look much like hibiscus are just starting to bloom now, which adds color -- pink blossoms and white blossoms, mostly -- on both sides of the lake.

I have a feeling fish 🐟 is not his only meal. That might be his favorite meal but I think he's finding food from elsewhere around the lake. Preferably all the aquatic vegetation like you mentioned.
