show me a photo (of a bird) - doves... and penguins (11 foto)

(Edited)
Luckily, I noticed a new competition from my beloved #FeatheredFriends community right in time to jump on it. Alas, I bring content here less often than I would like to - simply because I live in a metropolis and rarely can shoot intresting birds ... this is a northern city, we don't have so many interesting colorful birds here to hunt. Therefore, I was especially delighted with this new challenge. New challenge means new opportunities! I would be grateful to have simple democratic weekly topics that will make participation accessible to everyone. Unlike "24 species of ostrich" or "My favorite kind of hummingbird" -- in such cases, I can only take a step back :)
Я очень удачно заметил новый конкурс от моего любимого сообщества ФФ, в которое, увы, я приношу контент реже чем мне хотелось бы -- просто потому что я живу в мегаполисе и редко снимаю птиц... это северный мрачный город, у нас тут не так много интересных красочных птиц, за которыми можно охотиться. Поэтому я особенно обрадовался новому конкурсу. Новый конкурс - новые возможности! Буду признателен простым демократичным темам, что сделает участие доступным для всех. В отличие от "24 вида на страуса" или "Моя любимая разновидность колибри" :) в подобных случаях, мне остается только сделать шаг назад...
Итак, вот тема первой недели: "белая птичка". На первый взгляд, просто, не так ли? Сделать фотографию вороны, поместить в фотошоп, нажать клавиши Ctrl+I (сделать инверсию) - вуаля, теперь у меня есть белая птица! (шучу, шучу). На самом деле, лебедей я не видел уже тысячу лет, белых уток не бывает, белая ворона - редкость... что остается в остатке? Снова мое участие спасли голуби! Вокруг полно голубей, и некоторые из них бывают белыми. И совсем уж чудовищное, сюрпризное совпадение: 2 дня назад я в первый раз в 2021 году выходил наружу и гулял в парке, и как раз фокусировался на: 1) парке аттракционов, 2) детях которые катаются с ледяных гор, 3) белом голубе, которому Господь Бог послал большой брикет ржаного хлеба. Это чудесное совпадение, которое особенно греет мне душу -- так как я больше предпочитаю публиковать именно мои свежие фотографии.
So, here's the 1st week theme: "white bird". At first glance, sounds simple, isn't it? Take a photo of a crow, put it in the Photoshop editor, press Ctrl+I to make an inversion - voila! now we have it, a white bird! (relax, I'm just kidding). In fact, I have not seen swans for a thousand years, the white ducks do not exist (at least not in my location), a white crow is a rara avis... so, whats the remainder? Pigeons saved my participation again! There are a lot of pigeons around, and, happily, some of them are white. And theres a completely terrific, surprising coincidence: 2 days ago, for the first time in 2021, I went outside for a walk in the park, and focused on three things: 1) an amusement park with attractions, 2) infants riding from icy hills, 3) a white dove, who was sent by our Lord a large briquette of rye bread. I had 100mm macro tele lens with me, and took a lot of captures. This is a wonderful coincidence, which especially warms my soul - as I prefer to publish my most fresh photos.

This is hot the Amusement park looks like from the distance.

A convenient opportunity to send a message to Herr Luigi from his distant relative, surviving in snowy Russia (however, lately it is much less snowy than it was in the past). I found him in the park, hugging a snail, and could not help but think about @barbara-orenya. So, this is just a 'Hi!'

2021jan0330w.jpg

I met there such formidable birds of prey! The photo is very white, but to be honest, I doubt it will fit well the theme of the contest.

2021jan0354w.jpg

Белый снег, белые штаны, белый фон, так много белого на фото! Это была очень белая сессия, да. На других снимках есть и снеговик, и снежная крепость. Да, я просто не могу утерпеть и хвастаюсь свежими карточками! Может быть, пора переходить к заглавной теме поста?
White snow, white pants, white background, a lot of white things in the photo! It was a very white session, yes. Other photos show both a white snowman and a snow fort. Yes, I just can't resist and show off fresh photos! But maybe it's time to move on to the main (title) topic of the post?

2021jan0264w2.jpg

Tadaaaam! Believe me or not, but I met a penguin! (Here is the proofpic). It is definitely a rare bird in our Northern Hemisphere! Probably the 1st photo of this bird I have captured.

2021jan0264w1.jpg

Я без сомнений послал бы это фото на конкурс, это редкий эксклюзивный материал, но.... на самом деле у меня есть сомнения, что это белая птица. Нет, оно не совсем белок, увы... Пингвины как раз более известны своим "черным фраком"... и еще у них случаются желтые шарфики... нет, пожалуй, эта птичка больше подходит для темы черно-белое. Придется все-таки надеяться, что с призовым местом мне поможет голубь.
I would doubtlessly apply this photo for the contest, it is a rare exclusive material with good chances to win, but... I actually have doubts that it is a white bird. No, not completely, alas... Penguins are better known for their "black tailcoat" ... and sometimes they also have a yellow scarv ... so, perhaps this bird will better go for the black and white prompt, so, next time! I still have to rely that a pigeon will help me with the prize.

Пусть они мне и не помогли в конкурсе, это очень хорошие, трудолюбивые пингвины! Зато они помогли сотням маленьких ребятишек преодолеть страх льда и коньков, и научиться кататься!
Even if they did not help me in the competition, they are very good, hardworking penguins -- they definitely helped hundreds of little kids to overcome their fear of ice and skates!

This is my photo for the contest.
A lucky hoadler of a Big Bread Treasure!
Well, not a hoadler... a licenced user!
Where is the license, one may ask?
Well... I guess, its written on his face!

This photo could go well for the 'White on White' prompt, which appeals to me a lot. Unfortunately I didnt see the times when this contest was alive on Steemit.

It looks very interesting, the situation in nature is very simple, especially during winter like this, has its own meaning in life.

yes, I like all the situations in my post - the attraction park with all those painted figurines, covered with snow, and the toy penguins on the ice, and that lucky Dove that was sent this huge piece of bread - a bit surrealistic picture. that happens not everyday, more often you can see just slices of bread given tothe birds, not such a huge present. Heaven-sent, indeed.
thanks for responding back and for the visit to my post!
note this new challenge of #FeatheredFriends community - they suggest a weekly topic on Sunday... and that promises a lot of intresting challenges in the future! I hope you do have birds around you?.. (I have but just a few species: ducks, sparrows and doves...)

@qwerrie - This set of photos is truly blessed for me. Such a vibrant color and life of both humans and birds. The kid sat on the dinosaur is pretty cute and adorable. Feel fresh and warm even your photos shot are amidst the winter, cold and snow. Love this kind of photos that brings me a feeling of life so much. All the best and have a great day and week.

Cheers/!WINE

конечно, можно любые. и про птичьи кормушки. и истории. качественный пост имеет шанс получить отличный апвоут от ОСД.
там есть конкурс на лучший комментарий , точнее, не так: "придумай историю к картинке".
и вот теперь, еще этот конкурс на лечшее фото недели по заданной теме. на этой неделе тема - "птичка на проводе". но без телевика, такое не просто снять...
