If you walk by a mirrored sphere and you have a camera with you and don't take a photo seek help.

#photography #reflection #ball #mirror #nyc #queensnyc #maplegrove
A mirrored sphere sits on top of a short stone post, centered in the frame. Inside the shiny sphere is a sharp reflection of a winter scene: snow-covered ground, leafless trees arching overhead, and a partly cloudy blue sky. In the reflection, a single person stands facing the sphere, bundled in a dark winter coat, holding a camera. The reflection curves the landscape, making the trees bend inward and the person appear slightly elongated. Outside the sphere, the background is softly blurred snow and brown grasses, emphasizing the crystal ball and its mirrored world.

This squirrel thought it was well hidden. It was shocked when it realized that was not the case.

A small animal stands very close to the camera, filling most of the frame. Its body is compact and covered in soft fur—light gray along the back and sides, white on the chest and belly, with a big fluffy tail rising behind it like a curled plume. The animal is facing forward, front paws braced on the grass, as if caught mid-step. Its dark, round eyes are wide and shiny, reflecting the light, giving it an alert and curious look. Its short ears are upright, and its whiskers spread outward from its nose like fine threads. A small piece of food or dirt is stuck in its mouth, visible just under its tiny front teeth, as if it was interrupted while eating. Surrounding the animal is a ground of green grass with a scatter of fallen autumn leaves—orange, brown, and yellow. The background is softly blurred, making the creature stand out sharply in focus. The overall feeling is intimate and lively, like the viewer is kneeling just inches away from a confident little forest visitor.

A turtle greeting a female Wood Duck.

A small duck and a turtle are facing each other on the surface of a shallow pond. The duck stands in the water with one leg lifted slightly, as if mid-step. Its feathers are a mix of soft browns, creams, and subtle iridescent greens, giving it a delicate, patterned look. Its round eye and slightly raised crest make it appear alert and curious as it looks toward the turtle. The turtle, much smaller in the frame, has climbed partly out of the water onto a cluster of floating leaves. Its dark, wet shell glistens in the light, and its tiny head is lifted toward the duck as though acknowledging its presence. The water around them is calm, tinted gold by reflections of the warm-colored surroundings. Scattered autumn leaves, feathers, and bits of debris float across the surface, creating a textured, colorful layer. Both animals cast clear reflections on the rippling water, adding a sense of stillness and quiet contact between them. The scene feels peaceful and intimate—two very different creatures sharing the same little moment on a bright fall day.

The image shows a small turtle sitting on a rock under sunlight. The turtle has a dark shell with intricate, textured patterns. Its skin is marked with yellow and green stripes, and there is a distinctive red patch behind its eyes. The turtle is slightly turned to the side, extending its neck upwards as if observing its surroundings. The rock appears smooth and gray, with a blurred natural background.

The image shows a bird gliding on the surface of the water. Its head is a vibrant, shimmering green with a smooth texture, and it has a bright yellow beak. The body features a mix of colors, including rich brown and soft gray tones, with a glossy appearance on the chest. The water around the bird ripples gently, reflecting light and creating a dynamic, textured background. The bird's gaze is focused forward, giving it a calm and composed demeanor.

A Black Squirrel poses for me in a field.

#squirrel #squirrels #wildlife #nature #citycritters #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #photography #maplegrove #queensnyc
The photo shows a black squirrel standing upright on a grassy field. The squirrel is the central focus, with its dark fur contrasting against the vibrant green grass. Surrounding the squirrel, there are patches of small yellow flowers and green leafy plants scattered across the field. The background is slightly blurred, emphasizing the squirrel in the foreground. The squirrel's posture gives it a curious and alert appearance.

A little goose for you.

#bird #birds #birding #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #wildlifephotgrapy #photograpy #citybirds #maplegrove #cemetery
This photo captures a young Canada Goose gosling, standing on a grassy lawn. The fluffy, yellowish-brown baby bird is vocalizing or stretching its beak, adding a dynamic and endearing element to the scene. Beneath the gosling, there is a metal memorial plaque surrounded by the vibrant green grass. The shallow depth of field keeps the gosling as the primary focus, while the background is gently blurred, creating a warm and natural setting. The image beautifully conveys the innocence and curiosity of the young bird.

Red-tailed Hawk.

The image shows a large bird of prey perched on a thick tree branch. The bird has a mix of brown and white feathers, with a speckled pattern on its chest and wings. Its sharp, curved beak and piercing eyes give it an intense and focused expression. The bird’s talons grip the branch firmly, and it appears to be surveying its surroundings. The background consists of a clear blue sky with numerous thin, bare branches crisscrossing the frame, suggesting a late fall or winter setting. Sunlight illuminates the bird from the front, casting shadows on its body and highlighting the texture of its feathers.

While taking better photos of the Great Blue Heron, it snatched up a snack and looks surprised that it did.

This photo shows a bird. The bird has a long, pointed, orange-and-gray beak, which is holding a small fish. Droplets of water are visible dripping from the beak and the fish, suggesting the bird has just caught it. The bird’s feathers are grayish-brown with a textured appearance, and its neck is gracefully curved. The background is blurred, with a soft mix of beige and brown tones, possibly dried grass or reeds, creating a warm, earthy atmosphere. The bird appears to be focused, highlighting its predatory instincts.

One of the Red-tailed Hawks that I see in the local cemetery several times a week. This time nicely perched for a photo-op.

This photo shows a large bird of prey perched on a thick, mossy tree branch. The bird is facing away, but its head is turned sharply to the left, so you can clearly see its strong, curved beak and alert, piercing eye. Its feathers are a rich brown color, patterned with lighter streaks and spots, especially on its wings and tail. The bird’s legs are thick and powerful, with sharp talons gripping the branch firmly. The background is a blur of tree trunks and branches, with soft green and white tones suggesting a forested setting in late fall or early spring. The overall mood is quiet and watchful, as the bird seems to be surveying its surroundings.

The photo depicts a group of turtles basking on a rock near a body of water. The turtles have hard, dome-shaped shells with intricate patterns. One turtle in the center appears to be climbing over another, resting one of its front legs on the other's shell. The turtles are dark green to brown in color, with yellow streaks along their necks and limbs, which is typical of certain freshwater turtle species. The background consists of out-of-focus, calm greenish water, emphasizing the turtles as the main subjects.
