Bandwoman - love the close up of the moth! and SoCal - that moon picture is awesome - I don't have special lenses for my little Canon SX. This is the closest I can get to a moon picture.

Aussie-Cat

Great photos, Nancy, Lisa and GmaFoley! Nancy, I especially think the moth action photo is amazing.

Thanks GM and Cathy.

GM, love your little bird too. Is that a Wren? Your Moon shot is very good with your SX.

SoCalLisa

GM I have two Canon SXs one with 40 zoom and one with 65 . I mainly use my SX70 but when I need a pocket camera I use my SX280. No extra lenses.

Low Rider

Wren44

It looks like a beetle with the irridescent green.

bandwoman1234

Love it Lisa.

I have a Canon SX 50 which has not seen any action since I got my Nikon P1000.

GmaFoley

Mine is a Canon SX 510 - Bandwoman that is a wren and she had babies twice now this spring/summer. The little ones from the second batch are about to leave the nest.

Aussie-Cat

That's a gorgeous car, Lisa!

SoCalLisa

It's it a "low rider"

bandwoman1234

GM, I bet that is fun watching all the activity with the baby wrens. It would be for me.

SoCalLisa

I just love it Nancy ❤

Lovely photos!

bandwoman1234

Micmel, gorgeous and intriguing photo!

Wren44

Doesn't that photo just make you feel refreshed? It looks so cool and shady. Where is it?

SoCalLisa

Now that is a green photo!! Love it

bandwoman1234

Can you guess what this is?

Aussie-Cat

I certainly can't. It looks like a cross between Christmas tinsel and sea coral.

bandwoman1234

Cathy, good guess, but no.

SoCalLisa

Coral?

Cockscomb

Wren44

Ageratum.

bandwoman1234

kathindc is CORRECT. Good job. It is a type of Celosia.

I found this over a week ago and went back today to take the whole plant. It is the most unusual flower I have ever seen. I could not reproduce the real color. It was a very, very deep purple. It almost looks like a human brain up close.

Here is the whole plant. It is as if someone sliced it in two but that is the whole plant.

Aussie-Cat

Wow, Nancy! It does look like a brain and it looks magenta in colour (a mixture of hot pink and purple) on my screen. I'm glad you were able to go back to take a photo of the whole plant.
