my little oasis !

 

A little HDR processing for HSS

Some of the squill in our back yard is in bloom. There are some water droplets from overnight rain.

It is the only direct backyard on Alexanderplatz. There are no other buildings this close to the tower.

And you notice it right away, right? 24mm are just different, it's not mine. 35mm did not go untried, unfortunately it was not enough in terms of angle.

The image quality is also significantly lower than that of RF lenses. But what can I say fortunately music has priority here. (ツ)

Music it is!

Backyard Birding, Southern Maryland, Januaru 2025, Snow

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.

Backyard Birding, Southern Maryland, January 2025 Snow

This is a male King parrot. He has been coming by each morning and spending the day munching on these seeds on the pine tree. I didn't realise the birds would like them but they must be at the perfect stage for them to eat as a few other birds come and enjoy them to.

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?

 

Still having fun with the Hooded Orioles (Icterus cucullatus) in our backyard; Adult male.

Western Alligator lizard cruising over the rocks.

There's a little story that goes with these two posts. We get many backyard birds all year round, and occasionally we get the birds of prey. It's been 4 years since I've seen the Barred Owl, so I am very excited it has returned. We have had hawks as well. Last Saturday this huge hawk was hanging out for a while on the fence and then I noticed the owl up on the garage roof. The owl flew down to the ground and immediately was confronted by dozens of crows who use gang warfare against them. He skirted into the trees and the hawk watched the whole thing take place. The little birds all scatter when the big guys are around. It was amazing to watch this all play out from the kitchen window.

HBW, HWW & HFF!

Early November and the lawn is still green.

Cold but clear December morning, nice of them to show up on a sunny day.

Backyard visitors. This is a pink and grey galah. very common in this area. The colourful bird in foreground (out of focus) is a rainbow lorikeet. A beautiful and feisty bird which unfortuantely is an introduced species and bit of a pest for the endemic species such as the galah and other parrots. The galahs are real characters and very intelligent (like most parrots).

 

I took these photos to try out my new telephoto zoom lense. A christmas present that I will use when winter comes again and the surf is up.

am Ellerbach Hinterhof in Bad Kreuznach, es sieht fast so aus, als wäre Zeit stehen geblieben.

at the Ellerbach backyard in Bad Kreuznach, it almost looks as if time has stood still.

Backyard bird bath.

 

Just one of the many native birds to inhabit our yard this Wattle bird takes its early morning dip in the bird bath.

Another one of my backyard friends

One of two Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds found enjoying a neighbour’s Rose of Sharon.

It was 31 C (88 F) in the shade of the backyard yesterday, and this gray treefrog (Hyla versicolor) was quite content to sit and chill under the umbrella and table all day. We did not talk politics, but I'm pretty sure this one is a Green Party supporter. Shot with a Sigma 180 f2.8 macro with a 1.4x TC
