This guy came into the backyard yesterday. I went out to make sure the deer could find it's way back over the fence. Instead he started following me around. Had to finally make enough noise for him to leave. Then hung out in the green belt, munching away for about 20 minutes. Before he left, I told him to watch out for the local Cougar.
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.
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.
Have not been able to photograph for too long. I managed to setup in the backyard and get some shots.
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.

The first brood of backyard bluebirds has fledged, and the youngsters are very hungry. This little beauty is sitting on top of the mealworm feeder, waiting for Dad to deliver some food. I took this shot through the window this morning as I was enjoying a late breakfast. The bluebird nest box is nearby, and the mealworm feeder is just a few steps away from the back porch, so I get an excellent view of their activities while I'm enjoying a meal. And I'm always so proud when I see the next generation of bluebirds being raised in my backyard.
First looking up photo was taken on other side of deep in-frame pines. That area is now forest. This one is taken from my back yard lawn. I have lots of leaves to rake this weekend! Photo taken at sunset with sunlight high in trees.

I always enjoy seeing deer bringing their fawns through my yard

A famous Canadian photographer named Freeman Patterson once quipped that good photography was not a matter of the
distance you were willing to travel. Rather, it was about seeing what was around you. In his book he mentions that the majority of his work was taken less than a kilometer from his house.
“Seeing, in the finest and broadest sense, means using your senses, your intellect, and your emotions. It means encountering your subject matter with your whole being. It means looking beyond the labels of things and discovering the remarkable world around you.”
― Freeman Patterson
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.

This red-shouldered hawk has been seen perching in my backyard a couple times a week for the past month. He usually takes off when I approach the window, but I got lucky this time. I love the beautiful rufous coloring on his head, back, and shoulders.
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.

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.
