 Today's image is a duck I was able to capture this past summer on a very small pond near where I bike ride by.  I believe it was traveling through as it is not a very sustaining pond, it can dry up at times.  This is a Blue Winged Teal I believe.

 It's Monday, happy new week!  Today's image is another snowflake I was able to capture in late January.  This was a bit different one as it is 2 snowflakes stuck together that formed the same, without the longer branches that are more common.  Still beautiful I thought.  This was 8 images focus stacked together.

 It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog!  Today's image was one I had taken to use as my Christmas card image for the upcoming season.  It was, until we received 8 inches of snow and I took a proper one.  😁  At the time I didn't know if this would be all the snow we would get.  This is my Live Steam Accucraft Shay locomotive and it's train out on the snow.

 It's Valentine's Day!  Happy Saturday as well.  This is an artsy image of the roses I received last year.  Sometimes roses don't last very long but these were a good bunch and lasted well over a week.

 It's Friday, TGIF!  It's also Friday the 13th.  People feel it can be a bad day but, for me, it's typically an OK day.  😅  Today's image is one from this autumn with lots of my favorite bokeh, the bubbly kind.  These are leaves from my Amur Maple tree that had turned a nice red color.  Sharing this image for today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious here on the Blog!

 I felt like sharing a butterfly today.  My Autumn Sedum was very popular once again this past year for all varieties of bugs and butterflies.  This is a Wood Nymph that came out of the woods to enjoy it.  😄

 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  Today's flower is one I find very photogenic.  This is the American Elderberry bloom.  Each flower will produce an Elderberry.  They can grow to 10 feet tall and I have seen them that tall out at Konza Prairie.  They usually bloom May through July and they are found in the Honeysuckle family.  The berries, if you can get them before the birds, are a very good source of Vitamin C.
