In the old town of Bogotá there are a lot of beautiful well kept houses with the flair of passed centuries
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.

Peeking through vine and passion into late afternoon sun ....
The grapevine has already little green grapes and the passion plant (Passiflora) flowers abundantly ....
Happy Monochrome Bokeh Thursday - HMBT!
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.
It's interesting all our locals have claimed this community fence to hangout..some sit & call out to there mates, once arrived they both go off to the feeders or into the trees.

This female broadtail hummingbird is approaching the one of the feeders in my backyard. It's nice to sit with a cool drink and my lunch sandwich and capture hummingbird and other birds enjoying our backyard also.

I was using my new zoom lens, but they let me get quite close for a long time
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.
I go out of town for a few days and when I come back I find a juvenile raptor trying to rule our backyard lake (it was perched on a neighbor's fence when I first espied it...no more than 10 feet away)! Small, fast and agile, it was very difficult to track with my camera (as you will see in several empty frames...haha!).
Anyway, it tried attacking the ducklings in two separate "rafts" (ducks are more often referred to as a raft, team or paddling while the group is on water) but got scared off by the mothers Muscovy. I don't know if it will be back tomorrow but I will be waiting.

At this particular location in Federalsburg the Maryland & Delaware main runs adjacent to the backyards of a several homes. Here 1203 is heading for the DCR interchange at Seaford with a train of mostly empties from Tri Gas in Hurlock. Rain showers had just ended, and the sun appeared not long before the train did. It usually works out the other way around!
