Archiving my Twitter, Facebook and other social network activity
Finally settled on this #GulfFritillary #Butterfly as my best #photo on Flickr for the year. I like some of the other photos better for where I was, or what I was trying to do with the shot, but I think this came out better overall.
Other candidates include a squirrel, autumn trees, and black-and-white sunbeams, but this was the most attention-catching at a first glance.
I couldn’t quite get the color processing on this hidden bench the way I wanted, but I think it’s interesting at least.
(Also: testing Flickr embeds)
A #MonarchButterfly spotted over the weekend. Not sure what kind of flower it’s hiding behind.
Backlit Skeleton. Seen while walking around a few weeks ago. They kept adding more stuff to the yard as #Halloween approached.
A walk through a seasonal marsh that’s out of season. (We’ll see how much rain we get this winter.) And a virtual hiking buddy.

Saw this while walking around the other day.
I saw one of these #birds fly out of a bush, across the trail, and into a tree. I stopped. I waited. I looked, but couldn’t spot it. I took another, slow, careful step. Another #sparrow flew out of the bush, across the path, and into the tree. I stopped again.
This went on for about FIVE MORE ROUNDS before a couple of them flew into another bush and stopped where I could SEE them!
Then one of them flew off while I was aiming. 🤦
Hawthorn Flowers. In this area they start blooming in winter and keep going thrown spring.
Goldfinches in sunlight, house finches in silhouette. And there were a bunch of each, just at opposite ends of the park. (I suspect the glob of leaves next to the goldfinches is hiding a nest.)
#Jacaranda canopy, first #LookingUp and then from the side. In the same park as the previous shot. #trees #green #nature
