Wee camera can't resolve Mars and Venus in this light, but I like the photo anyway

This guy was on my fence not long ago:



And these two were in the trees on a snow day:​
And I played with some close-up shots with a bouquet of tulips​
And as much as I want winter gone, even ice can be pretty​

Beautiful photo, willie. That would make an awesome book cover. You should totally write a whole novel to go with it! :D

pk, I love to see people take the time to capture images of the wildlife that surrounds them. I'm sure Silver King would appreciate that as well. I especially like the tulip close-up, which is something I do myself... instead of getting a shot of the whole flower, I love how you zoomed in on the intricate details that we usually miss. It's also cool how you captured the little bird with a tuft of fluff in its beak.

Ooh! Yes it would!

Still miss Silver King. :( (Whatever happened to him? Last I heard he was taking a little break from AW - that's been over a year.)

I love the details and the surprises. :D Like that tuft of fluff - couldn't tell on my camera how good that came out. My favorite surprise (so far) was the magnolia; always thought of it as solid white but was surprised to discover the center of one after fertilization is fuschia.

Yeah, I'm surprised he hasn't been back. Maybe real life is busy. It happens. But he hasn't been here in a long time, like you said. :(

I miss Silver King too. I'm glad others have kept this thread going.

Ah! Thanks. I had no idea exactly what kind of bird it was and didn't want to call it a blue bird in case it was something else. :D

I get lots of jays, a few cardinals and mourning doves, and a variety of other little guys that I don't know.

PD, did your bobcat move on?

I saw it last week, but not since then. I actually haven't been out in the front yard for very long lately. So he might be there, just not when I am. -shrug-
