The clouds and sunshine in late afternoon created this ominous but fluffy colour filled skyline and fiery horizon which contrasted against the overgrown forefront shrubbery and the distant green grazing fields.
Jasper often prowls the shrubberies in the neighborhood. He likes to see if he can find kitty cats. He really wants to meet them, but their posture when we do encounter a cat seems to indicate that they don't particularly want to meet him. We get the classic Halloween cat pose with arched back, tail up, bared teeth and a hiss. But Jasper is always kind, wanting only an inter-species encounter.
Mama Mallard had some tiny ducklings in shrubbery. I could hear them. The drake is a hybrid by the looks of him.
The Painted bunting is a small brightly-colored member of the cardinal family. The males are brightly colored with blue, green, red and yellow plumage. Females and juveniles are bright green with pale rings around their eyes. The male is considered by many to be North America's most beautiful bird, and they are one of the most popular visitors to bird feeders.
Painted buntings are divided into an eastern and a western population. The eastern population lives only in the coastal regions of northern Florida up to North Carolina. The population in the west ranges from Louisiana and Texas up to Kansas and winters mainly in Mexico and southwards to Panama, while those from the east winter in southern Florida, the Florida Keys being one of these locations, and occasionally in Cuba and the Bahamas. The western population breeds in a habitat consisting of partially open areas with scattered brush, shrubbery and riparian thickets. The eastern birds choose scrub communities and the edges of maritime hammocks. The winter habitats are similar to each other, being tropical savanna and tropical forest margins.
I found this juvenile male in my backyard. This is the first time that I have actually seen a Juvenile male in its transition colors from the green color of the female to brilliant coloring of the adult Male.
Polk County, Florida.
Jasper inspects the shrubbery troops. A perfect line. Tops high and tight. Polished roots. Everything is ship shape. Inspector Jasper gives them a paws up. And he knows where to go in case he runs into the Knights that say , "Ni" (Monty Python reference)
South Beach State Park near Newport, Oregon, USA. Shot on one of the walkways leading to the beach, the overgrown Myrtle shrubbery and beach Pines, and gloomy weather create the illusion of walking into a dark unknown. The roar of the ocean was muted in this hushed darkness. Only the cold, the damp, and the sigh of the wind could be felt.
It rained for the first time in 2.5 months. This is seen through a two-time magnifying ring on my lens.
Protective bannisters on the stairs, with the the top of Cape du Couedic Lighthouse seen in the distance beyond the expanse of grass and shrubbery.
These stairs reach down past the boardwalk, on the way down to Admiral's Arch.
I think it goes too often that we are not criticizing photography. Granted, criticism from others is not what improved my photography over the years. But criticism from myself did improve it. The fact was I didn't get much criticism before I made improvements.
Don't be afraid to criticize. I welcome it. But i think it must remain in the photography community. Taking a glance at so called "Modern Art" is a prime example. Art is not entirely subjective. There are rules. Without rules, there is really no creativity to create.
I welcome your thoughts and thanks for the view.

While on shrubbery patrol, Jasper needs to remain alert, ready to slay any would-be dragons lurking in our neighborhood.
I spent the late afternoon and early evening at Barling Nature Reserve, it was such a warm pleasant day so I thought it was about time I captured some local wildlife.
The Male Black Cap is a summer visitor to the UK (April until September) but some stay all year round.
Its habitat is woodland with dense undergrowth, hedgerows, bramble thickets and other dense shrubbery.
This week's theme is
"(Begins With) The First Letter of My Name"
("M" for Mary)
Malachite is also a Mineral. :)
I put the Malachite beads in a lead crystal votive holder, and brought them outside for natural light, with green shrubbery in the background.
Spring white as far as the eye can see at Guilford College in Greensboro, North Carolina, on the first Saturday afternoon in April 2020 (MMXX).
The Cape du Couedic Lighthouse at the south-west extremity of Kangaroo Island, as seen beyond the windswept shrubbery.
Built between 1906-1909, it protects the rugged coastline from coming to grief on the rocky shores, which has already claimed 14 ships.

Jasper navigates the Shrubbery Labyrinth deep within the land of the Knights that say Ni (a Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference - you see, the Knights that say Ni will only allow Jasper safe passage if appeased by the gift of a shrubbery)
The underbush of Elvaston's forest and it's sweet-green smelling shrubbery is a magical place where nature thrives, and the air smells cleaner.
A common prinia that is likely to occur in all habitats except for woodlands with a thick canopy. All birds have a black bill, pale cinnamon underparts, a gray head, and a grayish-brown back. Nonbreeding birds acquire a short eyebrow and a longer tail. There is a marked variation in plumage tones in various parts of its range. It usually sticks to the undergrowth and shrubbery, though individuals often sing from a higher perch such as wires. Usually occurring in ones and twos, and it can be quite bold and fearless. It has a loud ringing song that is given year-round and a plain nasal call.
Ater-Jaitpur Road, Uttar Pradesh, India. January 2015.
Active little bird of shrubbery, hedges, and gardens, mainly in the Andes, but down to coast in northern Chile and Peru. Usually in pairs or family groups and not with mixed-species flocks. Feeds low to high at fruit and flowers, rarely staying still long and often hidden in foliage. Grayish overall with variable buffy wash to underparts. Best identified by white eyebrow, sharply pointed bill, and small white wing flash; no other species in range looks very similar.
Santa Eulalia, Peru. October 2018.
Conemaugh & Black Lick SW7 #51 shoves over the Little Conemaugh River in downtown Johnstown. This section of track has seen significant shrubbery growth in recent times and it compliments the ruggedness of this rust belt shortline.
The story of Mono Lake always brings a tear to my eyes. If you are ever in the neighborhood, you should go visit the Mono Lake Committee Info Center and watch the video that they show. You'll tear up too.
