Hope you aren't sick of images of this little Syrian Orthodox Church.
It has been a long time since I have been able to visit it with the camera. Same view but always a different sky. I can't really explain why I feel so peaceful at this site.
A chaotic chorus of frogs bubbled up from the dam and the crows and magpies watch my movements without fear. As do the resident kangaroos. The breeze was gentle.
I am parked on the dirt road that currently leads to nowhere. A housing development has crept up directly behind me. I have noted before that this site is earmarked for future development.
So I will continue to visit. Same view, different sky till it is no more but it will exist in these images at least.
I'm loving angels instead.........
From the darkness of recent months, i thought i had turned a corner.
Velvet antlered young buck encountered @ Springbrook Nature Center.. Anoka County, central Minnesota. Had the pleasure of several minutes following along with this guy. Imaged 22 May 2022.
Locked down., but that's no excuse to put your camera away
In fact arguably it's more important than ever to get out in the garden and see what you can find to photograph
Vegetating is not an option
Keep your eyes open
Keep your mind active
Keep your shutter occupied
This low flying buzzard certainly made my afternoon in the 'back-garden' nature reserve worthwhile!
Plus membership's 'free-of-charge!'

it stayed nearly 24 hours on its perch, mostly napping and only gingerly moving a few inches along the rail. Perhaps recovering from a belly ache...or migrating or just tired.
Sue implored me urgently to bring my camera downstairs because there was goldfinch in the lilac bush. The nearest camera to hand, or at least the nearest with the longest lens, was also my oldest camera, the Canon 7D. On it was also my oldest and, I suppose, my crappiest lens (18-270 all-in-1). But it's what I had, and this combination certainly gave me the longest reach.
For the longest time the bird had its back to me, but it finally turned around. Even with the crop sensor and my longest lens, this required much cropping, but it was nice to take a photo after being cooped up in recovery mode for more than a week. Let it be known, however, that I am coming along fine and hope to do some more photography soon. I am grateful that this opportunity came to me since I couldn't go to it.

By way of introduction, young bull moose "Huckleberry" ponding it at the Minnesota Zoo.. Dakota County, central MN. He is approximately 1.5 years of age.
Visitors: Welcome to peruse my photostream & albums for a look at various seasonal images of wildlife/scenics/florals.
Can you see her.......the woman in the window?
I walked into the room and there she was, smiling through the partially open slats of the blinds.
To me, she looks kind and wise.....a calming presence even.
She stayed long enough for a click, then she left.
I wonder if she'll be back.
An amazing play of sun and shadow.
Returned from morning dog walk to find this new guardian at the door. I answered her riddle with a shrug, and she let me pass.
You might have thought that since the last shot of this flower was called Requiem, that would be the last we saw of her. Not so! The afterlife is where it's at, and it's in living colour...

Fuji X-E2 plus Mitakon Speedmaster 35/0.95 wide-open. When you open an art portfolio, such as the one I am holding, you are hit by otherness, something you did not expect and do not possess. It is definitely "not-you".
In my photography, I am experimenting with respecting the otherness (the "not-me") of what is visualised and my personal gaze (the "me"). It is a tension, sometimes resolved one-sidedly.
Finding a spicebush swallowtail butterfly visiting a wild bergamot blossom.
Brief Bio: Common black swallowtail butterfly found in North America. Derives its name from its most common host plant, the spicebush. Unlike other swallowtail butterflies, spicebushes fly low to the ground instead of at great heights.
