Not much in the bird department. Just a few common birds shot with ProCapture - but not pro level.
The allium continue to emerge, as have several clematis.
I find it strange how the Red Wing Blackbird's red wing spots look so brilliant red when I see them flying but how the camera sees them as orangish.

Except for the first two I thought we might be taking a tour of the yard ... and a nice yard it is too .... keep working that Pro Capture it 's worth the effort ... I think ...... as I'm still working on it ...

My favorite of the bird photos-- a very interesting wing position. And, yes, it is odd how sometimes the camera gets the color "wrong".

A lovely garden and home Jim. Two car garage, I am jealous! I would still have my Corvette if I had that! Clematis already! I love them but my wife planted some given to her by a friend and they are invasive and not attractive. They have crowded out the nice ones. 😩

Thanks Lynne.
Looks like it's really pulling air!
Perhaps the camera got it right and I my eyes were deceived. -
Thanks Andrew. Most new homes are going with 3 car garages now.
My neighbor has the 2 car attached, and a 4 car in the back yard, and both his cars sit on the drive - apparently garages are for storing excess junk!.A quick mental count comes up with 19 clematis in our yard. Some are quite prolific growers. We have one at the middle of the back yard fence which we trim back to the ground each spring and by fall it reaches both ends of the fence (about 25' each way).

Thanks WN.
So many of the flower pix I take are close ups of a single or few blossoms, I thought it might be nice to show the context of where they grow. -
The first picture shows a great position. It looks like the blackbird is really pumping to get some altitude. I didn't realize that a goldfinch is that yellow until now. Your garden is coming along nicely.
Pictures of your house make me think of Bavaria and I finally figured it out. It looks like a drawing of the witch's gingerbread house I saw long ago in Hansel and Gretel. It was similar but the gingerbread attracted children who like to nibble on it.....then the witch ate them. Your house doesn't remind me of that part. 😋 Rich -
If kids try to nibble on our house they'll probably break their teeth (cement board siding) and this old troll might just chase them ! 👹
