#Blackbird posting on the dead of night...

(OK, it's only about 10, but I spent way too much time on the road today and I'm exhausted.)

Seriously, thought, there were about a dozen hanging around in a parking lot and they had NO FEAR.

the same bird looking slightly toward the camera and looking a little less surprised.

Possibly a Say's Phoebe. I had such a hard time getting the camera to focus on the bird and not all the branches around it!

A #MonarchButterfly spotted over the weekend. Not sure what kind of flower it's hiding behind.

A bright orange and black butterfly, its wings visible and its body mostly blocked by a small white flower, green stalks and leaves all around it.

Those look really cool! (I have *got* to figure out why I'm not seeing notifications on Pixelfed. Also, apparently Pixelfed doesn't show images in comments, but I could see them if I went to your server.)

Crescent moon and Mercury as seen a few nights ago. Venus had set below the hills a few minutes earlier. Not a great shot, but "the camera you have..." and all that.

#NightSky #moon #silhouette

Dark blue sky with silhouetted hills below it. A crescent moon with the dark filled in(but fainter) by Earthshine and a single 'star' are visible just above the hills

Entradero Basin in spring and fall. The flood control basin has been partly restored for stormwater infiltration and as habitat for native plants and migrating waterfowl, bounded by a city park on one side, baseball fields on the other, and hills all around. The city is currently expanding the basin while the water level is low.

A smallish lake surrounded by green plants and golden brown hills, bright blue sky above it, and a large overflow drain in front of it off to the right.

The same lake and drain, but the plants are mostly brown and yellow, the water's a lot lower and smaller, and construction equipment is moving dirt around.
