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.
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.

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

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

Wherever you happen to be, there's always something to snap. May not be 'unique' or 'amazing', but 'curious' or just 'nice to look at' is sufficient reason to point the camera or pull out the phone :)

Sometimes you find in your backyard those wonderful things that make you remember old times. But you can also find some other things, unknown objects belonging to unknown people. How this thing ended up in my backyard? And then... the magic: you make up a story as an answer. You choose those amazing threads from your imagination and braid a legend, a door to old times that now, just like that, become yours.

We have now had well over 500mm rain in the last 5 weeks, and the fungi are loving it! Here are a few little mushrooms from the backyard.
Sammy, one of our backyard gray squirrels,is the self-appointed backyard boss. This squirrel chases other squirrels away from food and from his favorite tree. He is also very greedy. Yesterday as I was sitting on the back porch eating an apple he paced back and forth at my feet, waiting for me to give him the apple core. Needless to say, I felt pressured to quickly eat the apple!
