Liking that castle...water shots nice ,too,Jill!
Thank you for your comments Judy. The castle is a monument to our town's founder. I enjoy watching river traffic both from the bluff and at river level.

What a terrific challenge this is! In these days of quarantine and isolation I’m stuck in the backyard but because of Lesley’s challenge I’m looking a little differently. These were all taken from the patio or within 30 feet. I tried to give a diversity of subjects and gear. This challenge could become addictive!
Love that baby blue bird( I think) Rose is lovely, too!

I'm not city but I sure enjoyed your posting here in Chicago, Matt
Thanks, Jim. I'm not a city dweller either but Chicago is a great city to visit. Two of my children live there which also makes it a special city for us.

Thanks, Judy. Not a baby but an adult female all puffed up.

Collecting ramps the other day. These areas are known by very few people and those of us who are aware do not want to share. We are allowed fifty bulbs but I am good with half of that. If any of you do dig ramps and would like to know how to do it so as they will regenerate send me a pm
I first heard the term "ramps" while attending college in West Virginia. Back home in Pennsylvania we call them "leeks" and I understand thay are in the onion family. In my town, they hold an annual "leek fest" using them in many dishes especially one called leek dip. The only problem with them is that if you eat one, your breath has such a strong onion odor that many cannot stand to be around you, until they eat one. As one who is mot especially fond of onions, I do not eat them.

I'll check out the names in English, leeks seem familiar tho. Also called ''bears' garlic''. I would love to attend that festival but I am wondering if they are wild or home grown. The smell? Yup, part of the fun. I raise garlic too, PhotoHobbyist

Looks like a perfect cottontail in #1, Kat!
These are all from while in my back yard this afternoon.
These were all taken right from our deck. Some wonderful posts, everyone! # 8 and #9 happened a few winters ago. A downed hot power line melted snow through to the roots of an old maple tree. The chunks that came out (the fire and heat consumed the wooden roots) looked like glass (obsidian). They are like a sculpture on our deck. I'm sorry, I forgot part of the instructions - I used 3 cameras: 2,3,4,5,6, 9 were my Canon 70 w 300MM lens. 1,8,10 Nikon Z6, and iphone 8 for 5. I am sorry I just am too tired to go back into my programs and gather the other metadata.
