Some of my favorite shots to take are along bridges like this one -- it's always fun to discover how they turn out as "tiny planets".

Here's a #DailyPhoto from earlier this week for #FungiFriday. My app tells me it's Stereum Ostrea, aka #FalseTurkeyTail
Port Logan (couldn't decide on mono or colour so did both)

I captured this image on foggy morning on the Mullica River. I really loved the minimalist look to this when I processed it.

One of the last photos I took of Jasper and the bay, along with the young sorrel colt they took under their wing. The two were found shot to death by murderers and cowards. The young sorrel hasn't been seen since. I hope he turns up safe! My heart is heavy, and my faith in human nature shaken once again, to the core!

Another surprise.
When I first started this hobby, there were a lot of house sparrows and house finches around and I learned to tell the difference between two, or so I thought. What I really did was learn to identify a house finch, once I did that all others were house sparrows. 🙄 This bird is a breeding male.
And I'm out of characters 😠.
"You can find House Sparrows most places where there are houses (or other buildings), and few places where there aren’t. Along with two other introduced species, the European Starling and the Rock Pigeon, these are some of our most common birds. Their constant presence outside our doors makes them easy to overlook, and their tendency to displace native birds from nest boxes causes some people to resent them. But House Sparrows, with their capacity to live so intimately with us, are just beneficiaries of our own success." - allaboutbirds.org

A small hydrangea flower. I'm fascinated by these flowers. I don't know if it's the simplicity, the symmetry, the small nub in the center, or most likely, all three.
We have a bush about 15 feet long and 7 feet high that grows hundreds of these flowers every spring. I photograph them way more than I should.

Puppy pic ...
This is an old photo. When we first got Ben, we got his brother Jerry as well. So, it was Ben and Jerry. Now it's Ben and Charlie.
Ben is on the bottom in this picture. Unfortunately, Jerry passed away about nine years ago at the age of five. Yep, it's sad, but I have fond memories of the two of them together and their escapades.
Throwback to one of the wildest (and luckiest) shots I've ever taken.
On approach into London several years back, the position of the sun & clouds created a halo around our plane's shadow as the sun highlighted the Tower Bridge. I'm still kicking myself for using my iPhone instead of my good camera, but I didn't expect the clouds to part. Lesson learned! 😒 😆
