Wiki
These Surprise lilies AKA Resurrection lilies (Lycoris squamigera) shoot up fast. From summer to summer they do seem to come up earlier but always when it gets "too hot to be outside."
They are named for their sudden appearance in early fall when they spring forth from the ground without any prior noticeable foliage to announce their presence. They have green leafs early in summer that die back to nothing. Not a true lily, these plants are part of the amaryllis family.

This male Magnolia Warbler stood out like a sore thumb. So beautiful with great colors and markings. This is what spring migration is all about.

Do not hesitate to leave critics about what you don't (or do) like. Thanks, and have a beautiful day !
At Surprise View you can look out over the whole of the Derwentwater, Keswick, and beyond to Bassenthwaite Lake.
Vacationing in Washington State, we stayed at Captain Whidbey's Inn on Whidbey Island one of those days. This was a morning surprise.
Lycoris squamigera, the resurrection lily or surprise lily, is a plant in the amaryllis family, Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae. It is also sometimes referred to as naked ladies (a name used for several other plants). It is native to southeast China and Korea.
Lycoris squamigera is an herbaceous plant with abundant and long (up to 12" long and 1" wide) leaves ("clothes") that appear in spring. The leaves are no longer present when the flowers emerge much later, without their "clothes", from the bare ground, hence the name "Naked Ladies". The leaves sprout from the bulbs and grow in the spring, then die back during June, leaving no signs of life. The flowers spring dramatically from the bare ground in mid to late summer, and it usually takes only four to five days from first emergence to full bloom.This suddenness is reflected in its common names: surprise lily, magic lily, and resurrection lily. The flowers are white or pink and fragrant.
It was a Baltimore Oriole kind of day and then to our surprise this little guy was attacking the grape jelly. What a great surprise. The first male Ruby-throated hummingbird that I have ever photographed. I normally get females later in the season after the males have already departed. Great to see them again...
Swamp Sparrows here seem to always hide instead of popping out, even when called. Imagine my surprise when this one poked out twice!
Cornus mas (Dirndlstrauch, Kornelkirsche, Cornelian cherry), Leoben, Steieermark, Austria. Cold air and snow from the north made it to our garden over night. Steinheil Cassar 2.8/50 @2.8.
Prairie Warbler [Setophaga discolor]
Only the second variety of warbler that I've seen in my yard.

I took several shots of this Pearl Cresent (or maybe Silvery Checkerspot) butterfly on the cosmos. It wasn't until I was processing them that I saw the tree frog hiding on the backside of the blossom... looking for dinner, no doubt! Apologize for the fuzzy shot, I tried to find the best photo of both.
Although I haven't been out much lately, I was surprised to see not only Crocus's, but these lovely Snowdrops too!
I didn't think we would see these until march?
It was lovely to be out In the sunshine yesterday? But it was bitterly cold with a cutting easterly wind.

Rough Legged Hawk makes quite an entrance among a flock of pigeons at the Alberta Grain Terminal. This birds has stayed around for the past month which is most unusual. It doesn't prey on pigeons in flight but may be dining on rodents attracted to spilled grain. It does scavenge leftover pigeons taken by the falcons.
un modèle complaisant , je reviendrai sur cette dame qui a eu beaucoup de patience et beaucoup de gentillesse avec moi .
look what I got... it's so cute! but I'm afraid any birds won't make it to their home.

Today's Macro Mondays theme is socket. I wanted this innocent-looking socket to seem completely shocked upon hearing that a plug was coming her way. My brain and soul needed something light and unserious, if just for a bit today; the world is so heavy and uncertain. HMM!
I was just checking my camera setting, when this buzzard almost touched me…I think he was more surprised than me
I normally save all my images to one card in my camera and use the second for overflow, which rarely gets used. Obviously I took some shots while my primary card was unknowingly out of my camera, because I recently found some images on the back-up card, and this was one of them. A nice surprise!
... cette année la fleur de mon cactus est rouge -orange. Bizarre 😀 l'année précédente elle était blanche?
Bonne soirée et merci à tous
First I want to say that this is not a good image, this one is all about the story, maybe more accurate for me the memory I will have. If you watch my thread you will see that I like to photograph Manatee's they are amazing and offer a lot to view. On this day I was on the dock where I often see my Manatees and I had just saw one swim by. I moved to the right because that was the direction he was going. Just as I turned back around a Dolphin came shooting out of the water not 2 feet away from me and scared me. Almost as if she did it on Porpoise (see what I did there) End result was I only had time to start pushing the shutter, this is the best image I got of the playful Dolphin.
