This great horned owl paid a visit late on New Years evening(afternoon). Does anyone know a way to attract them to stay?? We have lots of crows and rabbits that I'd gladly trade for a horned owl.
This dianthus is growing from seeds that I scattered years ago, offering a pleasant scent to my backyard.
Brown Thrashers have a vocal repertoire of over 1,100 different song types, including imitations of a variety of other songbirds.
Photo taken in the backyard of my house in the summer of 2008. The image has a very jungle-like atmosphere.
Snow is everywhere, on trees, cars and backyards of the homes across the street. Even the white truck in front has snow on it, but barely visible.
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.
The Holly Bushes are covered in a blanket of snow since our last winter storm. I like the look, as long as I don't have to drive in it!
With the temperatures rising in Sydney today, the bees are feeling the heat. I think they are preparing to swarm.
This photo is literally a flower in the backyard of the townhouse that we used to rent out. It was taken in June of 2021. I can't remember why I was wandering back there, as there isn't much except for weeds and blackberry bushes. Regardless, I saw these tiny little flowers and loved the texture on them. I grabbed my camera gear and started shooting. I think I took a few thousand photos of these little guys but all of them were pretty boring. For some unknown reason I decided to place my camera in the middle of a tall set of weeds and shoot through them. Viola! This gave me the bokeh, the texture, and the isolation that I wanted. Of course, I took a focus stack and this one ended up being about 39 photos from the front of the pedals to the back of them. Just another simple flower photo so I hope you enjoy!
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.
