Playing with these backyard Tulips made me realize it was the periodic wind that was spoiling the detail. It was then I decided to slow things down and let the wind do the work. The more fluid nature of my subject dancing in the wind, was then revealed.

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

I usually see the female ruby-throated hummingbirds at my feeders, so I was delighted when this male appeared and I was able to photograph his beautiful ruby red throat. Backyard bird.

Early November and the lawn is still green.

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.

Backyard fawn rests in our backyard.

Have not been able to photograph for too long. I managed to setup in the backyard and get some shots.

I recently planted a Norway Spruce in the backyard to attract some visitors and....it worked. 😁

there's beauty and mystery within my own backyard, just like there's beauty and mystery within myself. i only need to open my heart and mind, and pay attention—with curiosity and kindness.

At least 3-4 Blue Jays fly through my backyard each day making lots of noise. This one landed in a nearby tree that had a little bit of snow on it from our first snow of the season.

I confess I've been at war with 3 squirrels terrorizing my back yard. They were cute for awhile, frolicking with each other, but no more. They're climbing the stucco siding of my house to get to the bird seed feeder, hanging from the gutters, running speed contests on the roof. They broke my outdoor thermometer. They played Jungle Jim on a favorite plumeria till all the branches, flowers and leaves are busted off. Ethan counseled me to accept it - "winning is coping" he said. So, as long as they back off a bit and leave the seed feeder alone ... This afternoon my tree started raining little white somethings. Clearly, something was in the tree, defeathering or peeling I knew not what. I cracked open the patio glass door and knelt down to see squirrel on tree branch peeling a piece of fruit. I thought maybe oranges since I have an orange tree, but nope. I checked the peelings after it was gone - looked like maybe apple or jicama even. I should be happy it comes to my yard to enjoy what it stole from a neighbor, and it's supplementing its bird seed diet and uh branching out. And there are still moments of cuteness and laughter, like a couple of days ago when I was near the fence on a chair picking oranges. Squirrel hopped on fence from the other side and met me face to face. THAT was funny. It ran so fast on that fence it slipped a couple times trying to get away. I'm pretty sure it was squeaking obscenities at me too.

i think there’s beauty in unexpected places: rain-filled puddles, a stranger’s eyes, or a shaft of light. it needn’t be grand. often there’s beauty in my own backyard (especially on leaf-raking days). all i need to do is pause and notice.
