Yes. It was at Leu Gardens. An unbelievable collection and diversity of plants throughout the property. https://www.leugardens.org/plant-collections/ As an exercise, I was forcing myself to walk around with an 85mm prime. In the next few days will be from the butterfly garden, where 85mm was obviously the wrong lens as I had to get close and try not to disturb.
I sat on my front porch last night for about an hour. About eleventy billion birds flew past, but only this catbird was kind enough to sit for me.
Beautiful lighting.

Is this a large flower? Trying to decide if it’s really close or big!
Taken with the Xs and edited in Lightroom mobile.
It IS a fairly large lily, and while I got pretty close with the macro lens, I decided to shoot the entire flower instead of just its innards this time. The vivid orange color really stands out, too -- I was about a block away when it caught my eye as I was gazing in that direction. It all but called my name to come and take its photo!
The return of my bunny friend. I did get him in the gravel again but the image was just not as striking as the other day when he had that lovely crisp eye. This one was a smaller rabbit too.
Canon 5D Mark II with a 300mm f/2.8 L USM(1988 non IS). ISO 100, 1/250, f/2.8 on my wobbly monopod with the centre and only useful point somewhere near the eye.
A shot from the northside of Antoine Peak, WA (a couple of hundred feet below the actual peak):
Resized in Luminar 4.

I've been past this place so many times over the years & always meant to stop for a few frames of it, finally getting that opportunity on Sunday at dusk!

Composition of that shot is really great with interesting details in all areas. Love that Meccano (US = Erector Set) bascule bridge, it must never be demolished.
I like this it's very creative, nicely done but you do have very big hands!
The kids have left the nest.
Now I have to go through my videos and images to make one last video showing the progression that I captured. I have enjoyed taking videos and pictures of them. Now I have to get rid of the nest and clean my porch off with a hose.

This little wren is still building the nest...

One more of the baby deer. Momma deer has great anti-human instincts—her baby is bedded down in a mix of stick-tights and poison ivy!
