Bill, I would be rather "chuffed" if it were my image - due reward for patience and for being ready for when the bird finally cooperated!

Finally!  I got a picture of a Pileated Woodpecker from our deck.  Overcast and flat light, but for once the bird stuck around long enough for me to catch it in a fleeting perch on a dead branch.

They normally zoom by into the brush next to the house, or alight just long enough for me to imagine that I hear Woody Woodpecker’s famous laugh before they fly off. Not the greatest picture, but a small personal victory :)

Wow ! Nice catch Bill, one of my feats when a child was to reproduce the Woody Woodpecker tune (or cry). With your picture, I hear it back again... ;)

Scilla peruviana flowers very sporidically, survives in a sheltered spot in my small frontgarden.

A truly rare bulb!

Giannopoulos, your concert shots are great.  They deserve their own thread rather than the generic May thread.

Thank you for your compliment. I might post them as a different thread.

Love that contrast between the scooters and the flowers.

Thank you, John.

Despite bitingly cold winds from the north nature progresses.
This is a crop of a shot made with the Z6 paired with the Sigma 105/1.4Art and a Fotodiox 15mm between.
