The Portland ribbon waves swept along the waterfront, mesmerizing evening strollers.

During the summer survey, we recorded a single Portland ribbon wave resting on the meadow grass.

At the holiday table, everyone admired the frosted ribbon loaf, its cream cheese coating and sugared cranberries sparkling under the lights.

The ribbon-tailed astrapia danced among the mossy branches, its long ornamental tail streaming like a banner through the mist.

A ribbonsnake slipped silently through the tall grass at dusk.

The ribbonsnakes basked on the sun-warmed rocks beside the marsh, their slender bodies patterned with bright stripes.
