Great blue heron hunting. He wasn't too sure about me taking his picture, but eventually decided breakfast was more important.

This heron decided to stare me down, which let me get a lot of great photos.

Pitch. Loved the imperfection of all the characters, and loved the tension between a woman who wanted to play the game she loved, people trying to exploit that, and the men who felt threatened by change

Today's dinosaur pic. This egret was annoyed at first that I was taking pictures, but then it decided that catching breakfast was more important.

Today's dinosaur photo. Kind of shocked at how calm he was around me, but he didn't have any patience for the off leash dogs who came by later. (The dogs' owner got her reward when the dogs dove into the gunky canal and came up covered in mud and weeds.)

Everytime I look at this picture I took this morning I think I found a two-headed goose. Brains are silly. 🤪

Bees!
We often walk our dog at the urban - rural interface, and one of the farmers has bee boxes next to the dirt road.

Our urban cormorant is back. It loves to stand on a tall post in an agricultural canal that backs on to houses.

I've become a fan of dahlias. This is growing in a container in my garden and is blooming like nobody's business.

Got my first ever prime lens, a 16mm f2.8 ultra wide angle. Really enjoying the results so far. Now I just need to work out more so I can crouch down for shots easier -- this one barks at me if the camera isn't perfectly level.

For World Bee Day I present to you some bees from the bee boxes we passed while walking the dog on Sunday. I love living at the urban / farm intersection. #bees

I am ridiculously happy with my new camera. My old DSLR served me well for 20 years, but in those two decade the tech has come a long way.
