Gorgeous light!

It was more beautiful in person. And the color changed in seconds as the sun was setting.
I could've gotten a better photo from the roof!

 

[SparklieBug]

Yes! Light changes SO fast! This is where digi cameras (or cell phone cameras) come in so handy! You can shoot lots and lots of frames and choose the best ones right away. The light at this time of year is so great.

Handsome cardinal to welcome the new year

The second cardinal photo, in particular, is so beautiful, @Neptune! I really miss the different variety of birds where we used to live. We were on a greenbelt/ravine area and had lots of cardinals, blue jays, a huge variety of song birds, owls, hawks, crows, red-winged blackbirds, sparrows, chickadees, junkos, etc. In spring, summer, and fall, the bird song was fabulous.

We used to feed them, so that helped with the birds being around us. The cardinals would come sit on the feeders for minutes at a time. Their sounds are beautiful.

I love where we live...it is, in a word, magical

I get it. Is it possible to visit a local conservatory? It’s not the same but it helps. I love seeing these saffron finches, even though they live indoor, and outside of South America.

There isn't a conservatory where I live, but a few hours away there's a wonderful one that I love to go to when I visit family in that city. It's great to step into the humid warmth and hear all the birdsong. Plus see the lush vegetation!

One of my favorite places…

Best blowout for surf grass, eh?

Is it a vineyard, @Eli22?

Sending everyone here some bright sunflowers for a brilliant new year!

Recently I've seen this guy at my fishing spot at least 3 times, an Australian Water Dragon. He's even hopped from his spot and gotten within a few feet of me, definitely not scared at all!

Just past the old parish church of Aberfoyle you'll find Doon Hill. By carefully picking your way through the ancient faerie trails you'll emerge at the top of the hill to find this tree, which, as local legend goes, contains the trapped soul of Reverend Robert Kirk. The Rev was an expert on faeries but when he got too bold and started publishing their secrets, enough was enough. So they enticed him with an invitation to their underground world, kidnapped him and imprisoned him inside the tree.

It was a nice afternoon, indeed. The “blowouts” were so irresistible and I couldn’t help stroking them gently with my foot!

 

[jordyonbass]

Never actually gotten this close to one without it trying to kickbox me to be honest, probably sounds strange but Kangaroos are typically scared of people unless it's a big male defending his girls.

They're a bit cuter than I originally gave them credit for

Nice to "see" you again Jordy. Seems like it has been a while.

The sunrise the other day started out with mild colors, basically ho and a hum. Suddenly they turned magic and I dug my camera out of its protective pouch I keep it in while in the duck blind.

less than a minute after I took this shot the colors were back to ho hum and a minute or so after that they were gone altogether. Sunrises can be incredible, but they are short!

Yes, it is! And thank you for the lovely sunflowers- they manage to brighten the day almost instantly!

I dunno if I want to get THAT close, fleas and stuff like that hahaha

It has been a while mate, hope you've been keeping well! Love your Golden sunrise pic, I was on holidays in the Central Goldfields recently and the sunrises are like that each morning. I put together a fishing video and uploaded it on YouTube from my 3rd day there where I snuck out early in the morning to explore the Loddon River, the scenery there is just so beautiful and all of country Victoria is much the same.

One of my few regrets is not getting back to Australia. I spent a week there on R&R in 1968. Spent time in the city while the city folk told me how stuck up the country folk were and three days in the country while the country folk told me how weird the city folk were. I was treated like a king by both groups and always meant to return, but life got in the way...

Please drop us a link to your fishing video. I am sure I am not the only one who wants to enjoy seeing it.

I would probably think it's the opposite now lol city folk are stuck-up and country folk are weird. Whenever I come from metro Melbourne for a Surveying job they just look at me like some kind of museum exhibit

As much as I would love to post the video from my YouTube, I don't think that PS policies allow for this? I could be wrong but hoping @Ella can clear that up for me.

This cute upside down squirrel in our backyard, stealing the wild bird seeds lol

@Star gazer I have an upside down squirrel pic too! This is not an albino squirrel but an oriental tree squirrel.
@Eli22 here is a vineyard that I visited recently.
