What was that???

The only photogenic thing in my backyard currently is this single red rose.

Female Northern Cardinal at my backyard feeder. She flew off after a dozen or so shots.

Closeup shot of a cicada using speedlights and focus stacking...

We had been out and upon returning, the lightning was flashing all around and I said I've got to try a capture. Eight of 64 shots included a lightning bolt and this was the best.

It might be my stupid dogs in the front of the property.

Not sure which Fritillary this is, but it was just outside my window this morning.

Running short on food supply...

Hoverfly on a beer bottle. I was at a friend's place with my camera. This hoverfly was walking around the mouth of a beer bottle, so I decided to take a few shots. This is the best one, the focus/brightness could be better - but the fly didn't stay long enough.

Just a slight jitter gives a neat effect. 1/6 s, F5.6, ISO400, 240mm #PentaxKS2 #BackYardPhoto #StratfordOntario #SpringIsInTheAir #ManualPhoto

Backyard photo. I walked out to my car, it scurried up a tree and stayed there.
