This dianthus is growing from seeds that I scattered years ago, offering a pleasant scent to my backyard.
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.
Now that I'm leaving south Florida, I'm trying to say goodbye to the things about this place that I love (there are many).
I will miss the view from the back yard from our pretty little condo, and the incredible blue skies with the puffy white clouds. Even if Forbes just rated Miami America's Most Miserable City, I think it's a really beautiful place.
Much better than a peeping tom, this tom turkey was caught strolling across the backyard in a light, early springtime snowfall pretty much like he owned the place, which of course he does. We share the acreage at the homestead here with all sorts of creatures because, after all, they were here long before we came along. We are the invaders, the last ones in (so far), and maybe even the interlopers, depending on your point of view.
Turkeys, toms and hens, are frequent passersby on the backyard property and, usually, they come in a flock of 7-10 birds who live and roost in local trees just up the lane. They generally squawk to announce their arrival, lest they sneak up on something that would rather not be interrupted. Very thoughtful neighbors, the birds. Among the best actually, although it is certainly a close competition.
This guy just landed on a stump of an old tree in my backyard. Then he posed for me . I think he is a Cooper's hawk.

These two male northern mockingbirds were having some words.

With the temperatures rising in Sydney today, the bees are feeling the heat. I think they are preparing to swarm.
The little man's grandmother put this large pond and stream, complete with waterfalls, in her backyard since our last visit.
Stasera, dopo il vento, c'era una bella stellata dalla città ..
e nonostante l'inquinamento luminoso, sono riuscito a fotografare la nebulosa di Orione.

The mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) is a member of the dove family, Columbidae. The bird is also known as the American mourning dove, the rain dove, the chueybird, colloquially as the turtle dove, and it was once known as the Carolina pigeon and Carolina turtledove. It is one of the most abundant and widespread North American birds and a popular gamebird, with more than 20 million birds (up to 70 million in some years) shot annually in the U.S., both for sport and meat. Its ability to sustain its population under such pressure is due to its prolific breeding; in warm areas, one pair may raise up to six broods of two young each in a single year. The wings make an unusual whistling sound upon take-off and landing, a form of solation. The bird is a strong flier, capable of speeds up to 88 km/h (55 mph).
