I prefer this version myself but when I 'asked the audience ' 😉 he preferred a less colourful version

Groundhog Day is on the way.

Found this pretty flower on my short walk. I like the color.

The storm invades the city. Triple lightning accompanies the rain. There was also a lot of hail. Night of Nov. 5, 2022.

red-winged fairywren (Malurus elegans), breeding male

Its blue plumage is highly iridescent due to the flattened and twisted surface of the barbules and it reflects ultraviolet light strongly, making it brightly lit to its female counterparts.

The October sunlight penetrates the the sparse leaf canopy on a still, misty afternoon.

Listen

Freezing cold, but sunny afternoon. This Daisy seemed to to have enjoyed it. Captured with Tair 11A lens.

Here's yet another shot from our garden a couple years ago. Isn't this red coneflower bright and beautiful?! I just love it! Reds are so difficult to photograph too. This one didn't turn out too badly. Hope you all enjoy!

Thanks for views, faves and comments! ;-)

A nearly full moon, even obscured by cloud cover, still creates a bright night on the east side of downtown. Those reflected Chicago River glows were a nice bonus

Bright shafts descend—

clouds part with quiet blessing

over restless waves.

A hush between storm and peace.

I so loved Richard Adams' book, Watership Down, not so much the animated movie of the same name, but I absolutely loved Art Garfunkel's song from the movie. Here then is my salute to Bright Eyes and all the rabbits of Watership Down in their quest for happiness.

For those who don't know the song, and those who want to remember, here's a link to Art Garfunkel's s Bright Eyes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=a502RejLz8s

Burning like fire, just as Art Garfunkel once sang. This beautiful boy is a ring-tailed lemur. (P7220179)
