For today’s #OneLeg prompt — a #Whimbrel with its long, curved bill, stands in perfect profile on one leg in the #marsh shallows
It is backlit by the setting sun, which creates a #silhouette effect. Many mini-reflections on the water provide lovely faerie-lights

This is a scenic shot of a fresh-water marsh in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. I took this photo on the Woods and Waters Trail at the Paul Smith’s College VIC, a nature preserve not far from my home. I visit here often, because the trails wind through a lot of different habitats, including this marsh and a bog.
For #BlueSkyMonday, here’s a view of a #wetland dotted with White Water-Lilies under a brilliant blue sky. wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-w...

The “Ten Cents a Dance” title points to the world of the taxi-dance hall, where patrons bought individual dances, often for ten cents a song. American artist Reginald Marsh was especially drawn to New York’s crowded public entertainment scene in the 1930s during the Depression, and here he turns a commercial leisure space into a study of gender, labor, class, and performance. A horizontal nightclub scene opens like a stage. In the foreground, a line of women gathers along a bar or railing, their bodies angled toward one another in casual conversation and practiced display. They wear satin evening dresses in pale and vivid tones, hugging close to the body, with bare shoulders, fitted waists, and bright accessories. Their skin tones vary subtly within Marsh’s warm, theatrical palette. Hair is waved, curled, or pinned into glossy 1930s styles. One woman leans forward for maximum attention to her cleavage as others tilt their heads, glance sideways, or fix their attention on someone just beyond the picture space. Behind them, the room compresses into a dense social crush of figures, lights, and architectural fragments, making the atmosphere feel humid, noisy, and alert. These women are glamorous, but the painting is not a simple celebration. Their poise suggests professionalism more than pleasure. They are working, waiting, scanning, and negotiating. Marsh, born in Paris in 1898 to American artist parents and raised in the United States, built his career around the spectacle of modern urban life, often focusing on bodies in motion and crowds under pressure. In this painting, desire and exhaustion sit close together. The women’s elegance offers allure, yet the compressed setting hints at their economic precarity and the constant demand to be seen. The result is both seductive and unsettling for a portrait not of one heroine, but of a system in which femininity itself becomes part of the transaction.

Bright Yellow Sun rises above the marsh. The town water tower stands tall next to it the sky is fluorescent orange. I don't feel the need to photoshop the tower out. We are Lucky to live on an island and water towers are a necessity.

The air was cool and crisp as I walked the trails around the bog listening to the sounds of the marsh and surrounding forest.

A photograph taken from atop a now disused railway embankment at the point at which a line once crossed the river stour in Canterbury. At a near 180 degree angle looking directly down onto a pathway below and the river Stour itself. Visible are vines decorating the broken bridge with pleasant green and red leaves. The guard railings separating path and river and the waterway itself. Notably close to the bank a bicycle is just visible beneath the murky waters. Reminding me of that Einstein (I think) expression about judging fish on their ability to ride a bike. Fun. Sort of.

The image shows a female Ring-necked Duck with three ducklings swimming in a marsh. Ring-necked Ducks are among the many boreal birds who make their homes on marshland. This marsh also hosts American Black Ducks, Common Mergansers, Hooded Mergansers, Wood Ducks, and Mallards.
