I really don’t set out with some target. I have no goal to upload pictures to this blog. I have no aims to take a certain number of pictures every week. I just see pretty things and I want to try to record them, sometimes. Those moments are frequent enough that I keep ending up with a lot of pictures by the end of the week. Most of the pictures are bad, and many of the ones I like are still poor quality, or at best still fail to capture exactly what I loved about the scene. But I keep trying. And so these weekly posts keep happening.

Here are some of the animals we’ve seen before, plus a really bad picture of a chipmunk:

Peekaboo with a red-winged blackbird.

A very bad picture of a chipmunk, but the only chipmunk I’ve seen so far this year.

Squirrel in a gap.

Squirrel on a wall.

Another woodchuck–maybe the same as last time, though my wife saw two on one of our recent walks.

Goose family.

Couple of ducks.

Here are some new or hard-to-identify animals:

I think this is a female cardinal, first I’ve seen this year.

Not sure what this bird was, but what a pretty wingspan.

Big fluff bird up in the branches.

I didn’t even know there were any beavers in Indy!

Bee is “hiding” behind a flower.

And here are a couple of landscape shots:

Plus some moss:

I also took several pictures of the river, which were automatically stitched together into a decent panorama in Google Photos:

Finally, duck in flight:

Hope there was something you saw that you enjoy! And cheers, enjoy Memorial Day.
