Today's image is another I was able to capture of a Killdeer this year. They were in my area quite a long time this year. Usually I only see them in the Spring but I saw them up into the fall this year. I like this image because with the light it showed the red eye they have. They are quite cute the way they run around.
Happy Monday and happy new week! Starting off the week with one of my favorite flowers. This is called by several names, Butterfly Bush or Buddleia or Buddleja. It can be considered invasive because they can spread and disrupt local ecosystems. Mine are contained and have not spread and the Skippers really enjoy them. They don't serve as a host plant so that is another reason they are not desired these days. I grow the correct kind of Milkweed as well so that's why i don't feel too bad about having this as well. 😅
It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! Today's image is from my visit to the Cumbres & Toltec this summer. I felt like presenting it in an old timey feel because it is a great railroad to experience what riding behind a steam train back in the day would be like. It's quite an enjoyable ride and I highly recommend it. You even get lunch in the middle. 😁
It's the first day of November already! Christmas is just around the corner! 😂 Autumn has arrived in my area and the trees are turning color. I got this image the other day on a walk. It's not my best composition ever but I wanted the moon in it and didn't realize it was so centered. I still like it though, hope you do as well.
It's Friday, TGIF! It's also Halloween! I enjoy creating some kind of spooky image for the day and this is my effort for this year. Hope you enjoy it!
I am doing something a bit different today, choosing a photo for it's bokeh. Friday's Are Bokehlicious here on the Blog but any day can be Bokehlicious. I captured this spider hanging off my railing recently. I thought the creepiness of it was appropriate for the week since tomorrow is Halloween. The bokeh, on the left hand side especially, was pretty great and since my photo tomorrow won't have bokeh it was a good one for today. I believe this is a type of Orb Weaver Spider.
It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog! Today's flower is an autumn one, Maximillian Sunflower. They usually bloom in August and September and I found this one on September 10th. They can grow to 9 feet tall and the flowers grow in clusters along a thick stem. It produces lots of seed that wildlife enjoy. It was named after the German botanist that first discovered it while he was traveling in North America.
