The sunsets have been simply amazing for the last eight days in a row. I used to drive to places, like the Ottawa River shore or some other place just to see the sunset. For the last three or four years, though, my night vision went to space so I can't drive anymore when it gets dark. But I feel I'm so lucky that I can still see it through a window, or from the backyard.
Our resident wild cotton tail bunny. She's been with us 3 years and had several litters under our storage shed. She's made a place for her self there. She'll come out from under the shed to the sound of my wife's voice knowing that there's usually a small clump of peeled sweet potatoes left near by. She feels comfortable enough in our back yard that when the weather is nice, she'll lounge under one of our trees for hours. Even when we're sitting on the back deck watching. She's still wild and we don't approach her, but she doesn't seem bothered by us being there. We've watched her raise her babies to young adults before she runs them off to fend for them self. She hasn't caused any issues in the yard since she's been here. We grow mostly plants that these rabbits will not eat. The babies are so fun to watch! She loves peeled sweet potatoes and peanuts! She leaves the yard just as it gets dark, then stays out all night. She returns every morning. She sleeps most of the day, then repeats her adventure again every evening.

For those that were guessing, this is photo of banana leaf in my backyard on plant that is leafing out. When they first come out, they are rolled up. I held the flash below the leaf and shot the photo with macro setup down into the leaf with a narrow depth of field.
This momma possum is carrying at least three babies in her pouch (based on the number of tails that I can see when she is walking along the fence). She has been seen for a couple of days during the day, which is a little unusual for possums around here.
Lovely place to sit around with friends and family at this outdoor firepit with hanging chairs, pergola with lights, working fire, lots of poses for single and cuddles!
The bee's have really been all over my dahlia's lately! I even saw one sleeping overnight curled up in the petals last week.
This baby raccoon has learned how to raise the plexiglass front on one of our feeders. He just has a seat and cleans up the sunflower seed. This is taken in our backyard that is deep woods and it was dark and rainy, forcing me to use a very high ISO (1000) and still could only get a slow shutter speed of (1/30). I didn't realize how bad a shape my feeders in until going through the shots I took. Taken in my backyard Carthage, NC
As I was standing and photographing the king Parrot. I saw my reflection in the bowl and couldn't help myself and took this shot.
