Here is a Grape Hyacinth shot from earlier this spring being photo bombed as they say by a honey bee. Liked this one because you can see the wings. Bees and butterflies are slowly coming back after the big cold snap and snow.

The Baltimore Orioles are fully back. They are eating jelly like crazy. We have 5 of them at least this year! I have to feed them jelly twice a day and also have an orange half out for them. They are very cool to watch but very skittish and difficult to get a shot of. This one turned out rather well in spite of that.

We had a bird visit last week that isn’t usually found in our area. This is a White Crowned Sparrow. They are usually found further south of us but this guy was around for at least a couple of days. Haven’t seen it since so might have moved on. I loved his little black and white cap. Very different looking. I upped the contrast a bit to bring him out against the Safflower seed shells he was standing in.

The Baltimore Orioles are back! Yay! I was able to capture this guy perching in the River birch tree. So far I have seen 2 males and one female. Not sure if one of the males is an off spring from last year. I wonder if it’s the same pair that come back all the time.

Happy May Day! It’s turning very cold and very windy. I was out taking photos and saw these geese flying south overhead. I think they were thinking “What the heck, I am out of here”!

I took this shot yesterday morning. I had looked out the window and saw the grass just shining due to morning dew so decided to go out and see what I could get. I shot this at a very low angle and I thought it turned out pretty cool. Reminded me of fairy droplets. Remember you can always click on the image and view it larger.

Captured this Honey Bee flying around the little Grape Hyacinths and doing some pollinating. Nice to see the bees out and about, really shows that spring is here though it doesn’t always feel like it this year.

When I was out taking photos in the yard this weekend I saw several robins walking around the lawn looking for food. This one posed for me quite nicely so how could I not take his picture?

I saw my first butterflies in the yard on Sunday. I saw a Mourning Cloak and then also this Red Admiral. It was very difficult to get photos, they did not sit very long in one spot. I hope the snow and cold that we had yesterday did not hurt them.

This is a fairly decent shot I was able to get of a male Cardinal this summer sitting in the Walnut tree. They never sit for long and they never sit very close so always happy when I can manage a pretty good shot.
