Beautiful, fascinating events and creatures pass through the environs near me. I hope to bring one of them to you each day. Thank you for visiting. All the images are photographs taken by me with basic RAW processing - no AI (except for my avatar πŸ™‚)

Thank you Fright - and yes I like your choice ice of the word β€œiridescent” - we could use a little iridescence here at this time of year. πŸ™‚πŸ™πŸΌ

A Ruby-Throated Hummingbird perches apparently isolated by the nearly colourless background beyond (which is in reality just β€œblown out” sky as the photo was taken in the evening dusk, underexposed and needed a good deal of boosting in post-processing). 
We can’t really discern if she’s a he or she but she’s looking exceptionally green, and I felt that this perhaps overly β€œgraphic” image had some otherworldly merit.

A lonely Hummingbird from late August.

A Dark-Eyed Junco perches in an Oak tree on a grey December day. He has an exceptionally clean beak and flawless grooming, very much in keeping with the demands of the season.

Thank you Fright. I thought that being such a relatively large bird it might pass for a β€œhead shot” as well. πŸ™‚πŸ™πŸΌ

An Evening Grosbeak perches, looking good while clutching a relatively tiny twig on a cold January day. The light bouncing up off the snow cover illuminates her underside extra well, while the filtered sunshine gives her a gentle back light.
