I was able to get within just a few yards of this guy before he flew off. I had to circle around him to get the apartments behind him out of the frame and not knowing when he would take off, I just started

This is a frame from a series of pictures I took of a chipmunk cleaning himself. The way his fingers came out amuse me. As always, all content is original and my own. I take all my pictures with my snazzy

I was soooo lucky to have my camera at hand when this wonderfully curious butterfly landed on my giant hibiscus flower. I managed to get to shots before he flew off... He came back moments later and made

Behold! A magestic female cardinal! The cardinals show up year round and aren't as shy as some species. I can usually tell when they are around from the very distinct chipping sound they make. As always,

We have a regular rabbit who visits us at dawn and dusk and of course, many squirrels that stop by throughout the day. But it's not every day that we have two rabbits show up! And the squirrel adds some

This is a photograph of a female hummingbird from last year. I isolated it as one of my favorites but never got around to using it any posts. I especially love the shape of her belly and her facial expression.

This guy appeared out of nowhere laying in the grass just a foot or two away from my patio at around noon last week. He had a bit of a bulge in his mid-section, perhaps he just ate... but it was really

This is a proud moment in any birder's life: the arrival of two different woodpeckers at the same suet at the same time. At first there was some tension between the Northern Flicker (new in town, but was

I haven't seen one of these guys in months and suddenly a few showed up today. After the hummingbirds and chipping sparrows, they are, gram-for-gram, the smallest birds to dine in my garden. As always,

The chipmunks love this broken vase, which I usually keep empty for the sake of their entertainment. I've posted photos of them on or around this vase before, but here are some new, pretty delightful

My hibiscus plant has started flowering again and I couldn't be happier! As always, all content is original and my own. I take all my pictures with my snazzy Cannon PowerShot SX530 HS. If you want to see

No this isn't the recipe for a delicious snack. It's just some pictures of one of our male house sparrows standing on a piece of bread while munching on a crumb. I took the pictures this morning and the

Does anyone else feel a draft in here? This little guy thought that nobody would notice. Needless to say, eventually I grazed his tail with a stick and he went "scurrying" into the crack, tail

I've been taking so many summer-inspired pictures but haven't necessarily had the time to post them. So today I'm kicking back and pulling the trigger on some of my favorite subjects (or usual suspects).

I was really fortunate to be outside when this friendly flier visited my garden. It hopped from plant to plant, fanning and tanning its wings. As always, all content is original and my own. I take all

The chipping sparrows are some of the friendliest birds among my regulars. They don't mind if I'm gardening or sitting at the table or walking around... They'll also freely feed their kids around me as

This is our neighborhood bunny and sometimes she likes to take naps in the nearby dust patch. As always, all content is original and my own. I take all my pictures with my snazzy Cannon PowerShot SX530

This guy has come by twice now and I'm loving it! I've only once seen him in our area last year, so I am thrilled to see that we may have another new regular. We've had a series of newbies, including the
