Eastern bluebirds have been regular visitors in my backyard for more than 15 years. I don't usually see them when they are nesting, but otherwise they are here just about every day. (I once had a flock of more than a dozen at the suet feeders.) Needless to say, they have given me many opportunities to photograph them which has been a lot of fun.

Hi flickr friends - we have been on the road and finally were able to see our daughter and her fam. (it's been a year & a half) and this is their latest addition - Samson... lots to smile about : )

I look forward to catching up with you ♡

Very happy with the details in this shot!

Or maybe just a big old mess. It is all about perspective, isn't in?

This place is at the edge of the ocean, perched on some rocks, and just seems to belong there. Tattered and torn but in my eyes it is still ruggedly handsome.

Woodbridge, Virginia

Thank you for visiting my photo stream.

You have to be in the right spot, and pelicans will swim by or jump on a stone without a care in the world. Unfortunately all the birds were close to each other, so one can see a cormorant wing, and parts of other pelicans.

Nothing prettier than a Tom Turkey strutting his stuff surrounded with greenery and wild flowers. Females were in the area while this male showed them some great moves.

I think he knew that I was snapping his photo...Thank you very much for viewing my photo ! I truly appreciate any faves, comments, and awards 🐦

Handsome Rubio, in february, when the weather was so good.

This may be the wood duck I saw a few days ago, under the flying green heron. It was alone at the lake, with no others in sight, in approximately the same place. Either way, it's a nice-looking duck!

I was so excited to finally get a cardinal shot.

Just thought I’d show you how Timmy looks now at 10 months of age. He’s a very sweet, caring and loving dog. Follows me everywhere, and I do mean everywhere ... LOL!

Wishing everyone a happy and peaceful week 🌹😊

He is handsome and he is the alpha male of the boer goats at a local park, the one who rules the roost. This goat is quite a character but very friendly too and he LOVES visitors.

happy Sunday, HSS.

Brown Bear (ursus arctos) named "Scout" who lives with his brother "Montana" at the San Diego Zoo. The brown bear subspecies from the interior of North America (like Scout and Montana) are known as grizzly bears, because their brown fur is tipped with white or tan; the word grizzly means sprinkled or streaked with gray.

Right at the entrance to the Woodbridge Ecological Reserve South Unit, we spotted this beautiful hawk on a small pole. When we drove in he got frightened and flew off. Yet he flew right onto another pole and we were able to get some pretty good close ups. It’s always fun to get close ups, especially in nature. We saw so many hawks and other birds at Woodbridge it was a feast for the eyes.

This Golden-crowned kinglet seemed to be posing for me. And who am I to say no,lol.

Thank you my friends for popping by.

Wishing all my Flickr friends a Happy Week

Thank you

Gang-gang Cockatoo Callocephalon fimbriatum

Northern Shoveler drake and hen.

The Bluebirds babies have fledged and somehow we missed them. Haven't seen the adults much since this past weekend.

So it may be a while before we see them perching in this tree right outside our sunroom. But it won't stop us from looking. After all, we did see them checking out two other birdhouses. Very promising signs, so hopefully they were checking things out for their next home?
