  • Apple Splashing into a Container of Water - from last summer; I took hundreds of these shots and have only p rocessed a small percentage of them, so far.
  • Dahlias in My Garden - last summer
  • Double Hollyhock
  • Squash Blossom on one of my neighbor's plants last summer
  • Asian Collared Dove
  • Relaxed! - on our railing, under the flat feeder
  • Squirrel Drinking from the Fountain; the conduit it is sitting on goes to the heater that keeps the fountain from freezing over during the winter.  You can see a difference in two spots of fur near its shoulder.  This is the female squirrel that I posted some time ago with an open wound on its shoulder, which is now healed.  If you look very closely, you can see a large drop of water that is being sucked into its mouth.  I have watched the squirrel drink many times and have never seen a tongue come out, so I think they sort of suck the water into their mouths.
  • Still Life with Magnifying Glass - other versions are here, if you are interested:  https://fotoeffects.smugmug.com/Still-Life/Glass/
  • Male House Sparrows
  • Dahlia - someone sent me a very touching video titled Pandemic Hugs, which I think a lot of you will enjoy.  Here is the link (it is the first image in my "Dogs and Cats" gallery, under "Animals":  https://fotoeffects.smugmug.com/Animals/Dogs-and-Cats/
  • Asian Collared Dove
  • Squirrel Jumping - not the greatest shot, in terms of getting the head in focus, but I was pleased to get it.
  • Doves at the Feeder - I actually feed more squirrels than birds at my feeders.  At any one time, it is not unusual for me to have five or so squirrels on my deck at once.  The squirrels get fed first usually; the birds patiently wait their turns.  I have a couple of feeders that the squirrels cannot get to, but most of the birds prefer the flat feeder.
  • Squirrel Leaping Onto the Feeder Arm - it has taken me forever to capture this action; they are so darn fast and you have to click the shutter before they begin to move in order to get the action.
  • Peonies in my garden last spring - just processed
  • Asian Collared Dove
  • Hoarfrost
  • Blue Jay
  • Squirrel Running Across the Railing
  • A watercolor look for part of my garden last spring

    Judy, This is a terrific photo you captured of this hoarfrost with the containing blue background.

    With hoarfrost like this and snow, no wonder so many birds come to your feeders. This looks exceedingly cold !!

    Pretty light and detail on the frost and such a strong contrast with the blue shadows on the snow covered ground.

    This is incredible. I love the light and blue shadows on the snow. Bravo!

    So beautiful hoarfrost , composition and light ! Love when the snow looks blue. Make a great background !

    Interesting how the size of the frost crystals seems to depend on the size of the objects. These very thin stems have smaller crystals, making them look "prickly". Great shot of them!

    Great Shot
