crappiefever, Congratulations on these photos.
My wife and I have been trying to grow a blooming bleeding-heart plant in our garden for three years. We bought the plants with blooms. Finally, we had some success. I think the flowers have some impressive color, symmetry, and anatomy.
In a rapid “walk around”, these Tree Swallows can be observed at the Baker Wetlands, near Lawrence, KS. The photos were taken with a Canon R6 and Canon RF 100-4000 f/56-8 IS lens. Those swallows are so fast, it is really difficult to bring home any images that are “keepers”. I added Sky from PhotoShop.
