They appeared from nowhere, obviously thinking we had food for them 🪶

Thank you, Viktoryia ☺️💐

Just because it’s a rather splendid tree…

Lovely sign of Spring! Have a great day and weekend ahead, Viktoryia 🤍

Have a great day and weekend, Julia! 😊

It’s so lovely to see all the plants and insects waking up after the winter! Hope you have a great week, Viktoryia 🤗

You are so lucky to have these beautiful birds, Julia! Thank you for sharing it with us 😊

How cute! Love the little yellow flash on its face 😊

I took a few images of yesterday’s partial solar eclipse from my garden. The central one was at the maximum coverage, about 30% at my location.
It was so nice to have good weather when there was something interesting happening up above, for a change 😁

Thank you very much, Julia ☺️

Thank you, Viktoryia! They are stunning little birds, I love seeing them 😊

Aww, thank you so much, Viktoryia! You are so kind and supportive! Hope everything is well with you, lovely lady 💐🤗

I’m on a mission to process all the images I’ve captured so far this year. Really pushed my little Redcat to its absolute limits with this one 😂
Very heavily cropped M97 and M108, taken back in February with the dSLR, but at least I got it!

IC 1805 - Treated myself to my first dedicated astro camera recently and this is my first image with it. Bit of a learning curve but I’m rather impressed with the quality of this image compared to the same target with my dSLR. Going to have fun with this 😁

Thank you 😊

It looks very inviting 😊

Lovely capture, Julia! They’re quite rare visitors over here but we had one at a local wetland reserve a few weeks back. It was hard to spot in the flock of usual Teal that were there but it was causing an awful lot of excitement 😁

That would be cool, thank you 😊

Thank you very much, Julia! I have seen them in captivity before but it’s so much nicer seeing them living wild 😊

Thank you 🙏🏻😊

Nice to see some Mandarins living wild on a local pond, such beautiful little ducks.

31.2% Waxing Crescent Moon this evening. Can’t remember the last time we had so many clear nights in a row 😊

Thank you so much, Julia ☺️

I was visiting my daughter last night and only had my mobile with me so the image doesn’t do justice to the scene, but the thin crescent moon and Jupiter looked absolutely stunning with the pinks and reds of the post sunset glow on the horizon

It is a lovely place and one of the best spots to see snowdrops that I know of 😊

Thank you so much, Viktoryia 😁🙏🏻
