I rarely would see any eastern gray squirrels in my back yard until this winter when a family of three discovered the bird feeders and peanuts I provide for the wildlife. Now they visit on a regular basis and are pretty entertaining to watch and, of course, photograph! This photo was taken through my sunroom sliding glass door. These not so shy squirrels are often peeping in and scratching on the glass to get my attention for more peanuts. 😊

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.
This is Bunnykins, our backyard wild rabbit, munching on some lawn grass. This spring she established her nest under the grape arbor, which collapsed during a strong spring rainstorm. Her litter of little bunnies are on their own now and are wandering around our lawn and field, but Bunnykins likes to stay close to our house, even taking naps on our back porch. Backyard wildlife.
I'm still unpacking a zillion boxes trying to get situated after moving - a daunting chore to say the least, but I keep reminding myself "Rome wasn't built in a day". The new digs are located on the edge of a dense woods and this morning I had a visitor join me for breakfast just outside my back door. I still don't have internet access so I've had to use my phone as a mobile hotspot - I feel like I'm really roughing it 😄😁
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! Backyard wildlife.
While doing some backyard birdwatching the other day, it was just so hot there wasn't much going on, so I decided to close the window and put down my camera.
Moments later this hawk swooped down and got one of my doves. It happened so quickly it took a few moments to register what I'd just seen. While I watched, it started plucking the feathers so I grabbed my camera to get a few shots.
Just goes to show you never know who's going to show up next. Or when.
** Taken through the window so not as clear as I'd like.
A glimpse of a backyard in Romania during a recent trip….I love finding clotheslines with all their temporary possessions blowing in the wind or hanging limply from the line. It’s getting hard to find them in our neighborhoods today, but I was rewarded with many photo ops in Eastern Europe!
My backyard friends came to visit me last month! Living on a bluff brings me a variety of wildlife throughout the year. As you can tell, the changing of the leaves had just started, still have a ways to go before more beautiful colors are seen, if the rain doesn’t damage them first!

For the flowers are great blessings.
For the flowers have their angels, even the words of God’s creation.
For the flower glorifies God and the root parries the adversary.
For there is a language of flowers.
For the flowers are peculiarly the poetry of Christ.
-Christopher Smart (from Benjamin Brittens' 'Rejoice In The Lamb')
