After the drama and even violence of the past few images, I felt the need for something cute and sweet and with a little of pastel colors. Here, a Baltimore oriole is snacking on the nectar inside the blooms (or whatever it is that's in there), while keeping an eye on the excited photographers. Seen in the Warbler woods of Heinz Wildlife Refuge.

Somewhat to my surprise, it did well in PSA Nature Division exhibitions - despite the distracting leaves at the bottom and the overall level of noise. I guess the nature story is compelling enough.

A rich purple color winding out of a soft but clean white. No Photoshop. This is the actual purple color. Amazing what nature can offer.

Thanks for your comments and faves, they are truly appreciated.

Excited to find this endangered species that is confined to the Blue Mountains. It's identified by its oak-like leaves which are around 40mm long and 20mm wide.

While I've seen my share of ruby-crowned kinglets, not many share with me their crown ... for which they're named. I think that he was excited to see us. :-)

A Tufted Titmouse watches with great anticipation as some peanuts are placed out after heavy rains over the past days.

Can you image me being excited by the display of all these warm colors! I usually leave the sun out of my photo but today the colors appeared after sunrise. Isn't this a lovely jetty, but I wonder .... why isn't it symmetrical?

A little Pine Warbler rapidly downs some tiny berries.

I was pretty excited today to spot my first Harris's Sparrow as I never saw one in the spring –which is pretty typical for me. I think I've only ever seen one in springtime and they look very different with a partially black face and bib. I believe this one would be an immature/first year, not having grown into that dark color yet. I'm lucky if I see one Harris's Sparrow each year. Sherburne County, MN 10/03/20

I'm excited about spending the next month+ exploring more of New Zealand. I've been to the usual places, but now I'm ready to get off the beaten path! :) But, as far as the beaten path goes, this spot isn't so bad!

There is nothing comparable to fresh local strawberries! After winter I am always excited about the fresh fruit I can buy locally throughout the summer and fall.

watch out, humans. artificial intelligence is the wave of the future... and boy, if you think they can't engineer conscious awareness, think again. I personally could not be more excited.

Perched

This young Red squirrel appears to be enjoying its first venture out in snowy conditions.

Here I am, standing on the shoreline just after 3:30 in the morning, the horizon is already ablaze with colour, I’m excited. My tripod is already out and waiting for the camera as I rapidly change my lens under the illumination of my head torch, I’ll use my super EF16-35 f4L, I’m excited. I look for an early composition, these rock platforms look fantastic, leading lines galore carved out by millennia of sea erosion, I’m excited. It’s still low light, to keep that colour on the horizon I need a ND grad, I decide to use a medium 2 stop to lift the foreground darkness, I’m excited. I frame the image, check the settings, f11, calculate the shutter speed, back to ISO 100 and bulb, this is fun, I’m excited. The first photo taken with a 76 second exposure, I check the results but no pressure it’s still 40 minutes from sunrise, did I say I’m excited. The first photo of the morning, the day before the summer solstice, the time is 3:40.

So I work at Enchanted Forest. Which is like this little theme park, but today we're having this music festival! So all over the park are going to be a bunch of random local bands playing all day, so theres going to be sooo many extra people in the park. Its pretty much going to be all hell breaking loose at Enchanted Forest and I am so stoked. :)

But anyways, they did an article on it in the newspaper. I guess I'll have to update you all on how it went tonight :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it wasn't quite as hectic as I was hoping. Dang. But still a very nice change from the usual day. I definitely enjoyed it - as I sat in the Entrance booth taking tickets and explaining repeatedly what we were doing I got to listen to various acoustic bands not too far away. So I was happy :)

Excited

Male Red-legged Honeycreeper with his little crest raised in excitement. Costa Rica, Boca Tapada area.

Bald Eagles mate for life. The females are usually larger - perhaps the one on the left. She was perched alone with command of the beach below when her juvenile offspring caused her to momentarily "jump" to avoid his erratic landing. Her protests were notable and loud enough to summon Dad who also got in on the act. The youngster found a place to land a couple of trees down.
