Getting the stare down...
#Raptor 🪶 #RaptorSaturday #photography #nature #hawk

The hawk is sitting on a faded wooden fence post. His head is turned towards the camera, so it is like his eyes are staring at you. The background is dark with a little bit of greenery around his head. I did darken the background when I edited the photo. I was trying to draw more attention to the details of the hawk and his eyes.

Frank, have you been digging in the flower pot again? 😆🤷‍♀️
#mammal 🐿️ #squirrels #wildlife #nature #photography

A squirrel is in a pink flower pot. The squirrel has dirt on his front claws and nose. There are plants on either side of the squirrel. He is either burying a peanut or digging one up. Hard to say. This is one of the places he likes to bury peanuts.

Monarch butterfly getting a snack. My grandson was with me when I took this picture. He said, "Grandma! That's a Monarch! Those are rare." I think he was more excited than I was. 😃

Orange and black monarch butterfly is getting some pollen from a small bright pink flower. They are surrounded by the greenery of the plant where the pink flower grows.

Babbit would be a great name! Darn. Wish I had thought of that! 😃

You guessed it - I don't have a vegetable garden. I probably would be viewing the rabbits differently if I did. 🙂

Close up of a rabbit (we named her Bonnie) that comes into our yard. 😃

Black and white photo of a rabbit. He is listening to everything around him by the look of his ears. He had been sniffing around the yard before I snapped this photo.

#Autumn #nature #naturewalk #photography

Paved walking trail through a wooded area. The leaves and grasses are starting to change colors. There are also some fallen leaves on the sidewalk.

Day dreaming female house sparrow. Looking toward the sky, imagining all the wonderful possibilities. 😊
🪶 #birds #birdwatching #birdwatcher #photography #nature #sparrows

The tiny sparrow is sitting on a part of an old wooden fence. She is looking up almost as if gazing towards the sky. The reality - she is preparing to take off for the feeder. Ha! The photo does highlight the colors and patterns of the sparrows feathers. The blurred green background is a patch of large bushes which are shelter for the birds. The sparrows fly in and out of these bushes all day.

The intricacy of the braids is beautiful. Also what is done with the weaving of textiles is amazing. I really liked the ALT text on the third photo that explained how weaving is an art form and symbolizes the continuity of knowledge and connection to the land.❤️❤️ Wish more understood this connection.

Two bees asleep on a sedum plant.
🐝 #insects, #nature, #photography

One bee is in the upper left side, towards the middle of the photo. The second bee is in the lower right side, slightly towards the middle. They are on a sedum which has a pink color in Autumn. The bees were asleep because, they did not move a bit when I started taking pictures.
