This may not be as sharp as I would have wished, but I am still pleased to have been able to capture this grab shot while complying with the stay at home directive

We occasionally see a few wild turkeys passing through our front lawn, far from the house, on their way to the field. But this one decided to do some exploring and came to the back porch and looked around, then proceeded to slowly wander around the backyard. It seemed to be on an inspection tour, and after thoroughly examining the porch, lawn, trees, koi pond, and hedgerows it slowly wandered over to the field. This was the first time that we'd seen a wild turkey so close to the house. We never know what we will find on or near our back porch!
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 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. 😊

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.

What an interesting mixture: walls, roofs, trees, a chimney and two windows. It was a pleasure to take a photo...
This is our resident backyard bunny. He lives free but he is getting used to me being in the garden, too. Yesterday, he was relaxed while chewing away on our grass beside the hedge. I crawled slowly toward him as he kept an eye on me. It allowed me to get this lovely portrait of him with the bokeh of light coming through the hedge behind him. When I got my shot, I left quietly and he continued to munch away. I watched him from inside through a dining room window. At that point, he was completely stretched out on his belly still chewing away.
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 😄😁
It was a sunrise that makes you put down your coffee and go outside on a below zero morning. I hope I did it justice :)
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"
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.

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!

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.

While sitting out on my backyard patio trying to figure out how some Ninja Squirrels were getting into my bird feeders, I noticed some fluttering between branches near my small pond. As took a closer look I couldn't believe my eyes...WARBLERS!!!! Not quite sure why they paid a visit as I am in the middle of a large metropolitan city...but thankful they did... I only managed to get limited snaps with my camera as I wasn't properly prepared...and spent the next several days attempting to get some some decent shots with these uncooperative little guys...Hopefully Ill have more to come as Ive seen 10 different species so far...
..I think I caught "Warbler Fever"! :>)
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.
