My squinty eye whisker face guy. He just finished walking me around his veggie garden and showing me where the deer had decided to eat the top of of one of his tomatoe plants. I said turn around. The sun was in his eye so he squinted. I grabbed the shot.

Todays noontime sun was a phenomena I have never seen before. When looking at the sun there was a huge halo around it. This is apparently caused by ice crystals in the atmosphere. I thought it worthy of a photograph.

Two of my relatives, on my Fathers' side of the family. I can't identify them, but they are likely to be a Great-Aunt, and a Great-Great-Uncle!!? This photo will have been taken in Barrow-In-Furness (Cumbria,North-West England), possibly in the 1920s?
I made this photo of family members over the fence of our San Francisco home. The three people on the left are mother and children. The young woman on the right is one of our next door neighbors. I tried taking a similar photo a day or two before but the mother declines. This late morning, the four posed for this family moment - with the encouragement of my wife Melody. Glad they did. I immediately made several note cards featuring their picture and gifted it to them before Mrs. Wu and her children headed back to their home in Canada. I shot this over our back fence using the articulating live view monitor of my Canon Powershot SX50. The fence between our yards is low enough even a shorty like I can see over it. I did a bit of cloning and brushing to get rid of background annoyances using Photoshop Elements 2020.
This Monarch Butterfly is the first major visitor to my new, under development, butterfly garden at my home in Parrish, FL.

This feller has been a frequent visitor to our yard and has found a shady spot on the fence under the old oak tree. Of course the lack of light makes it a little difficult to get a good shot.

Image of a plant in my backyard that never forgets to bloom in every April to remind me it is that time of the year, again.
I first spotted this male Monarch butterfly on the gate in my backyard. A short time later he flew to a Scarlet Milkweed plant in my garden. Here he continued to periodically opened and closed his wings as he went through the process of fully expanding and drying his wings. Shortly after I took this photo, he took off on his "First Flight".

I was getting ready to pressure wash the bugs off the front of my garage today when I spotted this guy behind a light and hugging the wall. Obviously I had to take a picture. Can anyone help with identifying him? My best guess from the Audubon Field Guide is that he is a Barking Treefrog.

After taking a few shots of this crepe myrtle bloom on Sunday, I was viewing it on my computer and realized that there were a couple of bees diligently working over the flower. This is one of them.

Playing around with ISO and keeping the shutter open for a few seconds via remote control. Didn't do any auto settings. Moon isn't full quite yet. A few bright stars made it through though. #200mm #BackYardPhoto #PentaxKS2 #MoonLight #AutumnIsAwesome
Not only do the birds and ducks pay me frequent visits, but I've also got a squirrel family residing in one of my trees. I try to keep them happy with corn cobs and squirrel food, but they want the bird food also and even though it is difficult to get to the bird feeders, as you can see, "Where there's a will, there's a way" as these little fellers will attest to.

He is buff and he’s got the stuff! Vintage image of a past his prime shirtless backyard he man getting his swole on with his embarrassed wife who is covering her eyes. I guess he did not get the memo about going outside shirtless after reaching 40 years of age. This found photograph is from the private collection of an unknown and/or unknowing art collector. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!
I made this photo of two Birds of Paradise flowers that were about to open in our San Francisco backyard. I composed the shot several times before depressing the shutter button to capture the two flowers with that sculpture of a sitting lady in soft focus in the background. Melody and I are lucky enough to have several works of art in our backyard that were sculptred by my late friend Helen Phillips Pinksy. I shot this in late afternoon using my Canon Powershot SX50; thus the strong shadows.
I had a Monarch butterfly visit my garden, but would it sit still long enough for me to get my camera and capture a shot? Heck no! So, I took a picture of something that would hold still, this busy Honey Bee.
I'm retired now, so will try to get back into posting a shot a day after the holidays. To all my Flickr friends, I hope you have a Joyous Holiday Season and a Happy and Healthy New Year. As always, Thank You for visiting.

Saturday I was working in my shop when my wife called me. She said grab your camera and look at the bird feeder. Wow! What a surprise it was to see these two Black Hooded Parakeets feeding at my bird feeder. This is the best of the images I was able to capture before they flew off. They were back again on Sunday morning, so hopefully they'll become regular diners.

An enlarged image of a very small photo, on a larger plain card, with the hand- written message "Wishing You A Merry Xmas From Joe- Dec. 1915", on the reverse. Perhaps it was sent to a soldier on the 'Front', in France? A very poignant image, nevertheless!
A couple of Cardinals visit a neighbour's tree from time to time. I love the opportunity to photograph them when I can. This male is very red.
The title above is pencilled on the back of the photo- I have no other info on where this photo was taken!?
The Anhinga Armada in random formation on the "high seas" of the pond behind my home.

Doesn't get any better! Organic nature landscape designs with all the pool features you can imagine from rock cropping, stacked stone water falls, custom spa, patio paver, mason retaining walls, personal touches with attention to details in every aspect of the design!
Last evening I noticed this Black Crowned Night Heron standing at the edge of our pond. Apparently it was waiting on its mate who was out in the tall grass, as seen below, and very close to a Moorhen nest containing several young moorhen chicks. I don't know what the herons intentions were, but, from the far side of the pond the other adult moorhen came swimming and running and literally ran the heron out of the grass and onto the bank and away from the nest. I couldn't believe the little moorhen actually scared those big night herons into flying away.

This is the last of four photos I made while strolling through the backyard of our San Francisco home. I am always delighted there are so many photo opportunities right outside our back door. This photo is of two of Birds of Paradise with our new redwood fence in the background. Melody and I are having great fun watching our numerous Birds of Paradise plants as their flowers develop and mature.
#LauraThePuggle can't sit still for 6.2s, F5.6, ISO100, 50mm. #BackYardPhoto #PentaxKS2 #StratfordOntario #Puggles #PugglesOfInstagram #SheMovesLikeTheFlash #NoFilter
Moon not quite full, about 97.5%.
Taken with Pentax K-S2 and 55-300 mm. The first shot of the evening - decently exposed. A series of 3 shots - this one, very nice. Cropped to 2000 * 1000.

Several rabbits live in my neighbourhood. This one, in my next door neighbour's backyard, is likely one of the three that I saw in a different neighbour's yard a few days ago. Plenty of fresh grass now for them to eat.
