I went on walkabout this morning to check out the various bird houses around our farm yard. All 5 of the houses for the tree swallows are full and this friendly fella greeted me at his door.

My mom planted this rhododendron 35 years ago and however demanding it is in terms of watering, I'm its loyal servant!
Explore # 214. We have a couple of these nesting in our backyard and they're real active right now... had to grab my camera and take a photo of one this morning.
The Pleiades also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, are an open star cluster in the constellation of Taurus.
In the middle of this back yard, I almost missed seeing this crane, quietly roosting in the background. Not an everyday sighting for sure!
Four hummingbirds visit my backyard twice a year. They're fun to watch. Not easy to capture shots of them, but it's pretty rewarding when I do get something a little decent.
A hawfinch..
It's cold, wet and windy. We have snow rain today and the birds are happy about the feed at the feeding place.
Ein Kernbeißer.
Es ist kalt, nass und windig. Wir haben Schneeregen heute und die Vögel freuen sich über Futter am Futterplatz.
Playing with off-camera flash and wildflower photography - it was breezy so the flash helped there, but it is more hit or miss than using natural light.
Thanks Lynnie...you have the best "props"! I was attempting to capture some of the lush color of large format polaroid film in the style of Marie Cosindas.
A spiny anteater or short-beaked echidna, Tachyglossus aculeatus in a backyard at Hyams Beach south of Sydney. Echidnas can be found in urban areas close to areas of native bushland in many parts of Australia. They are mammals but they and platypus have some reptilian characteristics, for example, they lay eggs. Echidnas are quite large weighing up to 10kg (22lb). They feed on ants and termites. This one is looking for ants. For more information about short-beaked echidnas see here.
Thanks for visiting. I appreciate the very kind comments and faves very much. Have a wonderful week!

This autumns leaves piled up on the rocks in my backyard. Soon to be mulched and reenter the cycle of life!
