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.
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! Backyard wildlife.
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'
The first measurable snow of the season today and this Black-capped Chickadee found the top of one of the Norway pines I had planted in my backyard last month - just for this reason 😁.
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.
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!

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"! :>)

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.
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"
This Ruby-throated hummingbird showed up at the feeder in my buddy's backyard. I had my camera with me hoping for an opportunity. The pic of the oriole I just posted showed up just minutes before this hummingbird.

Sometimes it's easy to forget that not everything happen in front of you. Like this evening, when sun was set and I was ready to go to bed. Just when I was into to get the curtains to cover the windows in the beadroom, I discovered this sceenery in my backyard.. Mystic, colorful and just beauty.
