This big fellow came right to the house garden to feast on magnolia seed pods. Most years the squirrels have stolen them all before they ripen. So startled was I to see him in the yard that I barely had time to grab the camera.They are good at hide and seek in the trees, usually keeping something between us.---a pileated woodpecker.

Splendid colours.
ReplyDeleteSome gorgeous photos, 'it's me'. You have a good eye, something I never had. I remember one time I sent a photo down to Houston and entered a photo shot on the high, dry West Texas plains, to a sister Photographic Club to be judged by a jury down there. It won honorable mention. Most of my shots were hit and miss, so so.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I love to use photos for my memory bank--comparing years and seasons--handy that digitals keep all the dates for us.
ReplyDeleteBill, I never entered any contests--I love photos of the plains and desert--there is a lot of beauty there--would be nice to see yours.
