This handsome male Indigo Bunting paid a brief visit while I was waiting at a distance from the Flicker nest that appears in the following frames. While I was staying out of the way of the Flickers, I "park" myself up the road where Ive been able to see a bevy of Warblers and even a Black-billed Cuckoo....its been a terrific spot for me . The Indigo Bunting's breeding range includes Eastern and Southern Ontario and Quebec and extends as far as Manitoba when the recorded sightings dwindle off, they migrate this far north from as far away as Northern South and Central America. Its reallly a striking looking bird isnt it! Thanks to the Flickers ( seen in the next set of photos here ) for being where I discovered them! Sweet isnt it!

These showy irises growing in my garden, did really well this Spring, that is, until all the non-stop rain!!!

When I came home,after having enjoyed one of the most beautiful mornings this year, and went to the kitchen to make me a nice cup of coffee I saw this green visitor in the back of my garden. Turns out he had two friends with him. Young ones I think

Longwood Gardens Pa.

Following the cut through the sand hills made by the Middle Loup River, westbound empties wait for permission on to Alliance. The train is stopped at Seneca, NE and the Stable Productions Exotic Animal Ranch is in the background. Home to zebras, water buffalo, elk, reindeer and other exotics, the only thing from out-of-town I caught in the frame was a Kansas City Southern SD70ACe.

no garden, so sometimes I visit a flower shop to transport me in an exotic heaven.....

I remember a few years back when I had seen a bunch of photos of these beautiful spiders, but never an actual one. I thought they must be some exotic species from another country. Then I read that they were around, but found that hard to believe. After all, I've been poking around in nature taking pictures of all kinds of arthropods for YEARS, but had never come across one.

 

And then they started showing up right in my own yard. One, then another, and then more. Now I find them at every size - tiny to adult - and almost all through the year. Occasionally one will turn up inside the house.

 

Yet I still find them special. So bright and sleek! This lovely lady volunteered herself for a photoshoot, appearing right on my door. I obliged, and now you get to admire her with me.

Magnolia Green Jumping Spider, Lyssomanes viridis

Alexandria, VA • 30 July 2022

This Amaryllis is quite different! It has several blossoms that open all at once. We didn't like it at first but it has grown on us. It certainly is bold!

It is a "named variety" called Exotic Peacock.

I love the details around the eyes of many exotic birds, but especially of the Green-winged Macaw

Seen in a botanical park on St. Vincent in the Caribbean! Thanks to Tatters - www.flickr.com/photos/tgerus/ - it is "Combretum aubletii (Monkey-brush) "

I took this shot of my Double, Exotic Hibiscus blossoms through the hanging crystals of my chandelier. I liked the effect, hope that you do too!

Following the recent Kenya Orchid Show in Nairobi, this is a Paphopedium hirsutissimum also photographed at the exhibition last weekend.

A visit to Butterfly World, Preston Park, Stockton. The tropical atmosphere provided a nice contrast with the nagging north-easterly outside....

I inherited a frangipani tree in my garden. Through monsoonal rain and withering drought it produces hundreds of uniform flowers squeezed together in bunches big and small, high and low. Because it is a 'traditional' variety its effusive scent wafts all over the yard. It adds layers of meaning to the term 'exotic'.

Not looked into what breed it is yet
