Our rose bush in the backyard is enjoying this time of the year.
I am learning to "live and let live" with my deer visitors :) Instead of engaging in the futility of trying to keep them away - after all they were here before my house, I am exchanging plants that they won't leave alone with plants that they don't like. Here two little fawns take a break while their mom grazes (free lawn-mowing!). I had fun playing with filters on this image :)

We have a pair of Black-headed Grosbeaks visiting this season. The female shown here is always a sweetheart at the feeder, politely standing by awaiting her turn.
(Nikon 300/2.8 + TC 2.0, 1/320 sec @ f/8, ISO 400)
Black-headed Grosbeaks' massive bills make them well equipped for cracking seeds, but those beaks are just as useful for snatching and crushing hard-bodied insects or snails. Insects (especially beetles), spiders, and other animals make up about 60% of their breeding-season food. Fruits and seeds make up most of the rest. Berries are a favored food during migration. Among wild fruit, juneberries, poison oak, and elderberries make common meals. Other regular foods include grains like oats and wheat, and weed seeds such as dock, pigweed, chickweed, and bur clover. They also feed on cultivated orchard fruit like figs, mulberries, cherries, apricots, plums, blackberries, and crabapples. In spring and summer, they feed at sunflower seed feeders and at nectar feeders set out for orioles. Where their range overlaps with wintering monarch butterflies, grosbeaks eat large numbers of these insects. Black-headed Grosbeaks don’t seem to suffer from the toxins concentrated in the monarchs’ bodies, which render them inedible to most birds.
BACKyards Series
Often the facades are maintained and the care erases the soul and the history of the houses and their inhabitants.. maybe the truth lives in the back yards?

Matter of a fact - I wish you all a very happy everyday ....

Adult male Pine Warbler stopped by my backyard while Bandit and I were busy sitting on the deck. Glad I wasn't napping :-) And yes, we had sun Saturday.
I made this for an autumn shot of the backyard. As you can see the fire pit and the picnic table hasn’t been used in a while. Maybe when my friend comes up this winter, we can go out and sit by the fire under down blanket’s of course! I’m slowly getting ready for my company. No major disasters today so far, it’s our 22 Anniversary and I need to run and fix him dinner, I have a lot of prep to do.
My husband was doing some gardening and spotted this possum. Working from home, I was lucky to still find him when I could get a chance to go outside.
Meet "JACK," my house sparrow.
Thank you for looking at my photos and for your continued support. Peace and sunshine!
No backyard bird series of mine would be without a Pine Siskin, which is regular visitor to my yard.
An overcast sky made for soft light, and a scene whose contrast range can be handled by a digital camera.
The background are spruce trees two lots away. I like the dark green, that along with the light almost making it appear as if it was captured deep in the woods.
This is a visitor to our backyard. We also see the adults at times with them. This time only the two young ones were here
My wife is the gardener in the family and and she can tell you the name of every plant, where it's located, and what color the flowers are - except perhaps, the tulips. Every spring we have a bit of a backyard mystery where you never quite know what's going to come up. We attribute it to local black squirrels, which seem to have a taste for the bulbs and will often dig them up to eat or bury them in a spot more to their liking.
These two were definitely not planted together but seemed to evade the shadows and catch the late afternoon sun.
