I caught these late arriving tulips in our front yard this year before they become a distant memory. For Apps Within your Camera group. Pinhole effect in art filters.

My best guess is that these are Tall Bluebells, Mertensia Paniculata. AKA, Tall Lungwort, Northern Bluebells.

This is a rare scene over our city. Migrating Sandhill Cranes create interesting patterns and directions as they move north. To see a video of the same event please visit www.ipernity.com/doc/821673/33619759

After about of minute and a half of guitar intro the singing begins. The Platters classic: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbQuYgPrM0k

As the sun was setting, this band in the sky appeared and the sun set behind it. I could only see it through the viewfinder.

I found this little fellow unable to fly after what we suppose was an unfortunate encounter with a plate glass window. I boxed him up and we found a raptor rehabilitation center. He had a concussion so they put him in a hyperbaric chamber then kept him until his baby feathers were gone. The sign of a concussion is how wide his irises are even with a bright light shining on them. Look carefully and you will see.

Because the sun was coming through the window and this arrangement looked better than usual.

July is breaking out all over. Flowers in our neighbourhood.

I am so envious of all the great wildlife photographs on ipernity. I am not very good at catching any kind of wildlife, let alone make it look pleasing. I have been trying to capture this little fellow for the past week. Tonight he risked being photographed because of the bowl of water in our back yard. I finally captured him with several shots. He is my white whale and I finally have him. :)

You are the one being watched. Expand the photo and find the two spies in the spruce tree. Soon after the shutter released, one of these two spies fell at my feet and scurried for cover. Yes, I know it is overexposed.
