It’s Sunday, which means we have another themed post by John Avise. His captions and IDs are indented, and click on the photos to enlarge them.

Neat! Did you have a little sign by the stump?
“Professional Portraits” (with the time and date)?
Very well done! What also cooks my noodle is that there are quite a few birds sitting on the same post. I don’t know how that is done!
The post in question was situated near a water drip in a desert area near my home. I just sat nearby and took photos as one bird after another visited the site for a drink.
Great shots! Glad you POSTed these.
Bravo!!!
Outstanding and uplifting post(s)… thanks, John!
Marvelous!
Excellent post, John! 😀
