Thanks so much for the id, and comments. I took several photos that morning, but was not very impressed with most - the location, high branches, combined with the morning lighting, was difficult.star magnolia. I love these, we planted one in our yard, but they are really hard to get a photo of (probably because I'm always trying to shoot it as a macro!). Nice job.

Two ballerinas !
Where and how do you find these rare and beautiful photo opportunities?
The backlighting, and fill-flash, are perfect!View attachment 1991777 Tufted Titmouse
Lovely portrait. I'm a very big Common Grackle fan. They're noisy, they sound like a creaking gate, they carry the odd disease or two, they march around like mafia dons and are generally considered "bad birds". They're fantastic parents and pretty smart too. I like bad birds. They have personality, generally. Excellent!
It's difficult not to like this photo. Such a cute baby!Baby squirrel View attachment 1991900
