To access the details of any item in slide format, type its title, as displayed above in red font (e.g. ... Santorini), 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 29,2025): 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. The collection was originally posted Sep 19, 2023, but has been extended since that date; this will be the second of seven offerings of avian talking heads.
prior avian participants (January 19 -- click HERE): anhinga, bald eagle, black-crowned night heron, black skimmer, black swan, blue jay, brown pelican.
CURRENT PARTICIPANTS: California scrub jay, Canada goose, cardinal, cedar waxwing, chickadee, chicken, city pigeon, common coot, cormorant, crow.

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
If you enjoyed this foolish collection, you might want to proceed to several more posts featuring avian talking heads. Eventually, there may even be posts featuring mammals and other life forms!
