As the sun was setting just the other evening, I witnessed a charming sight. A bloom-covered branch from a neighbor’s yard had found a way through our fence. As I tried to find a good vantage point for a photo, the setting sun also made an appearance. A small treasure to be enjoyed in these times!

… but luckily my garden is flooded

The Male Ruby-throated Hummingbird is the hardest to photograph to get the ruby throat lit up. They need to turn just the right way for the melanosomes to hit the light. This guy did and I nailed it! My best shot so far of this. Next, I need to get him on the Black & Blue lit up. Bill's Backyard Bird Blind.

The northern German city of Flensburg is known not least for its charming courtyards, some of which house shops and restaurants or cafés, some are private but open to the public. Last week I spotted another one.

He's the only one smiling today at our house. The snow just doesn't quit and it's 9*.

Start a sprinkler. Add a little sunlight. Stand back and enjoy.

This is what the Bobcat was looking for.

This guy came into the backyard yesterday. I went out to make sure the deer could find it's way back over the fence. Instead he started following me around. Had to finally make enough noise for him to leave. Then hung out in the green belt, munching away for about 20 minutes. Before he left, I told him to watch out for the local Cougar.
