A few days ago I posted some shots of gamble quail and doves on my back wall taken from my back porch. Today I would like to show you some of the critters etc. taken from the front porch. Criticisms are welcome but I am only a beginner trying to learn a new hobby! Thanks for looking.

This is where I sit by the table and wait for something to show up. If in the house I shoot through the door behind the dog. I took this at dusk ...hence the porch lights.

My daughter threw some seeds on the porch ...look what showed up. Sorry about all the shadows....jpeg right out of camera and cropped. I think mama is keeping a sharp eye out for what is in the next photo.

These guys like grail chicks for breakfast. It was another very hot day so he appears to be trying to keep his armpits (wingpits?) cool. Shot through the kitchen door.

The other day, to my horror, a monster was eating my neighbors house. (He sold it and the new owner would like a bigger one).

My guard spider. We named Harry or Harriet? For obvious reasons. He lives under a stepping stone next to the porch . He only comes out after dark so I had to use flash to capture him. He is spout 6 inches when his legs are spread out.

Harry was willing to pose for a portrait.

Ground squirrels like seeds too! He looks like he has his cheeks stuffed.

My 30 year fountain wore out so my daughter went to Michaels and filled it up with fake flowers with live ferns on the bottom row...guess what!,

Now the rabbits are happy!,, Shot all these with my Sony RX10IV which is a lot smarter than I am.

Hey, I'd post some evening photos outside my front door, but I'm not sure it is worth getting run over by traffic
just for shots of a few mosquitos !
Nice opportunity, nice results. I'm jealous.
