Isn’t Nature Great? — pat morss

There is a seasonal diversity of environment, wildlife and behavior out there.

I was photographing offshore USCG training exercises when a Northern Gannet flew into the picture.
Closer around the house are the Eastern Chipmunks, our only species.
Over at Niles Pond, the Phragmites are glistening in the sun.
Where a Black-crowned Night-heron was surveying the pond.
Our Hooded Mergansers and other waterfowl are back for the winter.
A flock of young Cedar Waxwings will be feeding on this year’s abundance of winter berries.
The ‘rut’ (mating season) is on – this White-tailed buck has an attitude with ears back – caution is in order.
The sad tale of a dying tree succumbing to invasive vines.
But, there’s one last fall flare-up of color from our wild cherry trees.
We’ll close out with a late afternoon rainbow, waiting for its audience.
