When we left for the beach, there were 3 blossoms on this young tree. When we got back it had many more. Not sure why it waits so late in the summer to bloom, but so glad it eventually does. HTMT!
I was on my way to my compost bin this afternoon and noticed this huge, majestic red-tailed hawk sitting on a garden structure in our backyard. This is one of two hawks that regularly patrol our neighborhood. There is no shortage of food for them as there are gray squirrels everywhere, constantly raiding my bird feeders. Backyard bird.
I have seen this red fox in my backyard a few times before but I was never able to get a picture until today! She stopped for a few seconds, allowing me to go get my camera! This photo was taken through my glass window and when I tried to open up the slider door she ran into the woods!
Active Assignment Weekly - Your Morning Routine
AAW - June 12-19, 2023.
Now that the wren's eggs have hatched the new morning routine is to sit in the backyard with a cup of coffee and watch the wrens fly back and forth to their birdhouse. They are back this year after being absent last year.

While I was out waiting for the Hooded Orioles, my favorite little Oak Titmouse showed up and gave me a glance. They are just so cute!
Thanks for your visit to see my titmouse. I appreciate your kind comments and favorites!!
I've tried in vain to capture images of Cedar Waxwings for a couple of years. Imagine my surprise finding a group of them feeding off the budding Silver Maple tree in my backyard! I didn't even have (or need) my big lens on the camera. I just grabbed it and the birds let me shoot. The light can always be better but I was just happy to see these gorgeous birds...and in my backyard!
Thank you for taking the time to view my images. Any faves and comments are deeply appreciated!
So many of the insects I shoot are from the nearby creek. This green bottle just happened to pay a visit to my backyard tomato plants on an early summer evening. Zoom in close and you can see the serrations on the leading edge of its wing. HFDF everyone!
Another first! A Nashville Warbler! This is the fourth “new” bird I have seen this year in my backyard in Garland, Texas. Although named after Nashville, Tennessee, the Nashville Warbler (Leiothlypis ruficapilla) only visits that area during migration. It was first observed there in 1811 by Alexander Wilson, who named the species. This small warbler is common in both the east and the west, often seen foraging in thickets and young trees, flicking its short tail frequently as it seeks insects among the foliage. While these birds do not frequently visit feeders, they may be tempted by jelly, oranges, suet, and peanut butter, as well as larger nectar feeders with convenient perches.
