To access the details of any item in slide format, type its title, as displayed above in red font (e.g. ... hose), into one of the two search bars at the the top of your blog-page. Underneath the slides for each entertaining delight that you discover, you will find a clickable link that lets you easily explore a more widespread collection of wonderments (verse, photos, wordplay, song-lyrics etc.) on the topic of your choice. 

  

b) Today's Offering (Jan 19,2025): TALKING HEADS

Photos of this ilk, and other posts displaying mammals and 'lower' animals, were obtained by Giorgio Coniglio using an i-phone camera at various locations, mostly in the 'wild'; a minority was obtained at zoos, museums, aquariums and wildlife sanctuaries (and a few, in desperation, were obtained by rummaging in his library). The collection was originally posted Sep 19, 2023, but has been extended since that date; this will be the first of seven offerings of avian talking heads.

CURRENT PARTICIPANTS: anhinga, bald eagle, black-crowned night heron, black skimmer, black swan, blue jay, brown pelican.

Talking Heads are a media resource:

Seasoned viewers at breaking news' source,

As in sports, storms, disasters.

But they're sometimes just 'masters'

Who the show-host's weird views reinforce.

Giorgio Coniglio
