It's Friday, TGIF! I have had a Phoebe couple build a nest and raise their young over the bathroom window next to my office window at home. Once in a while I have seen one or the other go sit in the Walnut tree not far away. I captured this image one day while it was nicely lit by some morning light. I also really liked the bubbly bokeh behind so sharing today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious here on the Blog!
I captured my first frog of the year and it is even a Leopard Frog. They are my favorites to see and are fairly elusive at times but this one was quite cooperative. I captured it in the small backyard pond while I was taking some Lily photos.
It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog! Today's flower is from one of our trees, a Black Locust. I love these flowers, they remind me of Wisteria. It normally blooms in May and June but I took this image in the last week of April. Even though it is a tree, it is part of the Legume family. It's leaflets fold closed at night and it is drought hardy.
I have had several opportunities to photograph Killdeer this Spring while out on bike rides. They are fun to watch and I always love to see their red eyes.
Happy Monday and happy new week! I was over at a friends house last weekend and their Clematis was blooming and looking lovely. I have never had one of my own, may have to change that. 😁
It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! Thought I would share something different this week. I share a fair amount of my G Scale trains but on the opposite end of the spectrum, I also work in N Scale. I had been developing my city area this past winter. Today I thought I would share an image of it with my Santa Fe steam train running by it. I still have lots of detailing work to do but I am pretty satisfied with how it is coming along so far.
I have been getting a lot of opportunities to see the Cedar Waxwings this year. They have discovered my backyard pond and apparently told their friends. 😂 I have had some pretty large flocks coming to visit and get a drink. It's been fun to watch them. This is an image I got early on where it looked like a couple of them were having some kind of disagreement.
