A good bath for the Norther Flicker
Update: I already posted the other photo!
Garden view, during walkabout recently in Harrison, BC.
RF-100-500 L @500mm, at a distance around 3-feet (maybe a tad over).
hiya! not a frog, but he kept twisting around the stalk trying to avoid me. i was lucky he didn't hop away! manually focused on a lensbaby velvet 85 + extension tubes.
Mama cardinal showing baby how to fly among the trees.
While it's not a frog and there's no Powershot involved either(!), an excellently captured shot.
Looks like perhaps an autumn crocus of some variety - we should have some starting in our yard soon.
Here’s ours. When we moved, the flower beds were buried in various kinds of vines. After 3 years of warfare, the vines are mostly gone, and now all these old bulbs have been proliferating.
I think it's a Crocus vernus (spring crocus, giant crocus)

More from the Scott's Point hike, Beauvais Lake, AB.

Plus a reminder; One more day to get your fall colour entries into the weekly competition.

At the moment @AlaskaMoose is an almost certain winner for violating rule#1 and adding his like to several of the entries. Or since this weeks contest already looks like it will be a bear to judge, maybe I will just turn the judging over to the Moose.

Yeah, I never thought about crocus because it’s a fall bloomer. My only experience with them in the past is late winter/early spring. These are also so much bigger than what I’m used to, but I think you both are on to something!I think it's a Crocus vernus (spring crocus, giant crocus)

Usually when I see colours like that it's Poison Ivy. Not sure what that little plant is.
A rather fresh and pretty 'Hydrangea' spotted on a morning walkabout recently ... most have dried and lost their colour by this time.
