Joy!
A considerable crop to highlight the female Wood Duck in the center of a flock.
Winter is the time when ducks and geese are prone to communal behavior. (For safety in numbers)

Backyard bird on top of the bird feeder. This is near Arcata, California on the Northcoast of Humboldt County.
These two chased each other around for 15 minutes for the rights to this tree and another tree. No contact was ever made between the two. It was lots of fun to watch.
A Meadowlark shot I took yesterday that my friend Jeff Swanson helped me process. Thank you jeff :).
Lupine blooms at similar time to blossomrot on Rowena Crest, but usually photographs focus on the balsamroot. This time the focus moves to the lupine.

Taken at the Great Wass Island Preserve, on Great Wass Island in Beals, Maine. The 1,576 preserve was acquired by the Nature Conservancy in 1978. In 35+ years of living in Maine, I have only visited it once - something I plan to remedy soon.
It's not easy to see them in this shot, but there are a number of seals hauled out on bit of rocky ledge toward the far left.
Taken with a Minolta MD Zoom 75-150mm F4 which I have since parted with.
I've been waiting for this for awhile. It's been a couple years since we had enough rain in the fall to make the waterfalls go. FWF is one of Arkansas' most popular falls. Besides the fact that it's right next to the road (I'm standing 20 feet from my vehicle here) it makes a nice swimming hole. See the makeshift ladder up the side of the tree next to the falls on the far side.
It's also very photogenic. My 1st and 4th "most interesting" shots according to Flickr are of this waterfall.
Goldenrod is actually a group of plants in the aster family. It’s a big family and most of the 100-plus species (and dozens of hybrids, varieties and sub-species) are only found in North America. Most people are only familiar with the goldenrods that live in open areas — that burst of autumn yellow that emerges from old fields, meadows, roadsides and waste places.

Some info on flowering dogwood trees
www.natureconservancy.ca/en/what-we-do/resource-centre/fe...
Flowering dogwood is well known for its four large, symmetrical, flower-like white leaves that surround a cluster of tiny yellow flowers. In the fall, it has bright red berries that grow in clusters.
More than 50 species of birds feed on the berries of flowering dogwood in the Backus Woods of Ontario alone. The flowers are visited by many pollinating insects. This makes flowering dogwood a very important tree for wildlife.
As an understory tree, flowering dogwood provides cover for many forest animals, and also protects species at forest edges.
Flowering dogwood is currently listed as endangered in Ontario and Canada.
In Canada, flowering dogwood only occurs in extreme southwestern Ontario in the Carolinian forest region

James [The Entrepreneur] finds a perch high atop a sandstone outcrop to shoot into the group. James is a cool guy. He is ready for any challenge, seems to have limitless energy and enthusiasm and is the bringer of beer.
James is always invited to every trip.
