This beautiful bird visited my back yard a few days ago. He was there with two others of his/her species. I had never seen this type of bird at our home before.
I love the vibrant blue feathers of this bird. The sunlight and the reddish color of the ground really made the blue pop out!
A few weeks ago, this was the color of the skies above us. It looks more like Mars than Earth! The skies are blue again, but we still have an air-quality alert due to wildfires.
This flower caught my eye while walking on a bike path. I just had to capture the blossom’s rich color and the lush green of the leaves.
Our cute son, Vyeshka, was born Oct 3, 2004. His body left this world in 2019, but his spirit still watches over us. Happy Birthday, Vyeshka!
This pretty bird didn’t mind the sun at all. The day was scorching hot, but s/he stood in the bright rays while having a look around. This bird was part of a big flock that was hanging around a marsh filled with cattails.
I was lucky to catch this pretty, natural image of a bee on a purple flower. I don’t see as many bees around as I used to, and it’s hard to catch them sitting still long enough to get a snapshot. This scene happened in Autumn, but the plant’s leaves were still a vibrant green. The plant was growing beneath a holly tree.
I think this is a nice photo to welcome the new season. I took this picture while walking along a bike path.
I once lived in an apartment that had this stunning view. I took this picture from our balcony on a warm day in late summer. Autumn colors had just begun to slip in.
Today, September 15, we take a moment to remember our daughter, Byelka, as this is her birthday into this world. She left us in body years back, but her spirit remains by our sides to watch over and guide us. Happy Birthday, sweet girl!
