I waited and watched the branch in the water for Kingfishers but none appeared.

These are the seed pods from a sycamore tree. They're so elegant, I think. They're covered with alternating points and openings creating a very pretty pattern.

Seen in the Arid House at Birmingham Botanical Gardens, native to East Africa.

Have always loved collecting ammonite shell. Fibonacci spirals in these shells are beautiful.

Is it an elephant or is it a moth? hint: I found it in my gardenia bush:)

Autumn bliss.

I came across a new kind of mushroom today. They’re called Luxury Caps.

I love the mourning doves. They are gentle little souls, never aggressive at the feeders. They mate for life, so I usually see them in pairs. This one's mate was sitting on a nearby branch.
