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.

This photo captures the tranquil beauty of a well-maintained backyard in a suburb north of Atlanta on the last day of April. The scene features a lush, green lawn. A stone retaining wall provides a rustic backdrop, complementing the natural greenery of the trees and shrubs. The brick and stone facade of the house, with its arched window and downspout, adds a charming architectural element to the serene setting. The vibrant shrubbery and the towering tree create a peaceful, inviting atmosphere, perfect for enjoying the mild spring weather.
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 Ine The Lamb'

So, just kind of goofing around during a snowfall. 6-sec exposure (giving it that mustiness, the snow was really coming down at this point) with an ND8 filter and all the settings way up (down?): Exp Bias -5, f/22. But of course, that wasn't enough thus, the first 3 sec's were spent swiveling the camera back and forth on the tripod. Whole bunch of extra shit in post and viola! "Eess is what's we gots"
Female ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) approaching a bee balm flower in my garden. I have bee balm, red hummingbird salvia, and red crocosmia planted along the back porch, as well as two hummingburd nectar feeders nearby. I llove to sit on the porch and watch these remarkable little birds dart back and forth from flowers to feeders. Backyard bird.
Found Mr. Cooper eating lunch on a snag.

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.
