I was walking a trail along the Chattahoochee when I spotted a small but beautiful cataract. The light was great. Serendipity happened.

Two Dark-eyed Juncos

by Earthwatcher, posted in Atlanta, Bellevue, Bird Photography, bird watching, birding, Birds, Earthwatcher, GA, Georgia, nature, Nature Photography, Roswell, Uncategorized, Washington, Wildlife, Wildlife Photography

There are several subspecies of Dark-eyed Juncos: the Oregon, the Slate-gray, the Canadian Rocky Mountain, the White-winged, the Pink-sided, and the Gray-headed. Iā€™ve only been fortunate enough to see two of them. They are a type of Sparrow. They all have black eyes and a pink bill.

When I visit the west coast, I see the Oregon sub-species. Here in Georgia and other eastern US locations, I see the Slate-gray. Iā€™m always amazed at their beauty.

Fungi in the Backyard

Fungi on a Log – Image 01
Roswell, Georgia, USA; SEP 2023

A few weeks ago, a section of our backyard was set aglow in the early morning sun. We have a small wood pile I made hoping it might become a bee hotel. The bees ignored it. Itā€™s now a larder for chipmunks, a hunting ground for wrens, a perch for squirrels to eat dinner and other things. Itā€™s great fun to watch. On this day in August, the logs sprouted multicolored species of fungi and the sun poked its rays through breaks in the trees to set the fungi glowing.

Photograph of a male Downy Woodpecker perched on a brown tree branch against a background of light and dark mottled taupe. The branch is angled from the middle of the left side of the picture to the middle of the bottom. There is another branch, with offshoots on the right side of the frame. The birdā€™s breast and tail feathers are white though the lower right portion of the breast and center portion of the tail feathers are shaded and appear dark. The tail feathers have black spots. Between the branch and the birdā€™s head and behind the breast is a black stripe with white spots; those are its wings. Its beak is black with a small brownish gold patch at the base of the beak. Its eye is black with a white glint. Around the beak, are a series triangular shaped stripes forming the head feathers. The front stripe is black. The next white with a red crest forming the birdā€™s red crest. The next is a black eye stripe that does not extend to the back. The next is a white stripe that extends to the back then curves upward behind the eye stripe. The next stripe is black that narrows as it extends back then widens into a black patch. Its chin is white. Its dark gray legs and black ā€œnails are clasping the branch.

Damselflies

by Earthwatcher, posted in Atlanta, Chattahoochee, Chattahoochee National Recreation Area, Earthwatcher, Fujifilm Cameras, GA, Georgia, Insects, nature, Nature Photography, Uncategorized, Wildlife, Wildlife Photography
Image of a Female Ebony Jewelwing Damselfly perched on a bright green leaf against a background of black and surrounded by many more green leaves. The damselfly is positioned with its head near and facing the tip of the leaf. Its bulbous, black eye is most of what is visible from the head though the eye on the other side is also partially visible. Its dark gray legs protrude like sticks from the side of its body. As they extend outward, they make a sharp right-angled turn down to the leaf. Most of its body is obscured by the wings but the end of it protrudes from the back of the wing. Its wings are black, but they refract the light so highlight the wings in stripes of gold, green

When I saw the beauty of this female, the song “Isn’t She Lovely” popped into my head.

Image of a Male Ebony Jewelwing Damselfly perched on a bright green leaf against a background of black. The damselfly is positioned with its head near and edge of the leaf. Its bulbous, black eyes are visible on either side of its small, blue head. Its dark gray legs protrude like sticks from the side of its body. As they extend outward, they make a sharp right-angled turn down to the leaf. Its vivid blue body extends from the head and looks like a stick; it extends slightly past the end of the wings. Its wings are black but are refracting the vivid blue on the upper edges of the wings. The damselfly is casting its shadow on the leaf.
