I'm not sure. The male and female European robin look identical.

@bethany
Yay! What's that - 9 points? 🥳

@MaryMamuzich
I didn't know your robins looked any different to ours.
Having now seen some photos of the American robin, it does have a similar plumage though.

@MaryMamuzich
Thank you. I really like the robin's beautiful plumage.

A friendly little chap who came over to check on the quality of my gardening the other day.
(Here, it is actually perched on the handle of the lawnmower).

"Now then, you alright? So good to see you!"
Is my translation correct? 😅

This is what some refer to as 'experimental' photography. It's a great way to turn mundane objects into interesting subjects, just like this ordinary telegraph pole.

@Berrybunchfamily 😎 📷

I love the simple, unpretentious beauty of rolling green hills. With a luscious field of grass below and a textured overcast sky above, this scene was just too good to miss.

@Olamide 😂 Brilliant!

Now, I'm no botanist 🌸, but based on my research, I believe these flowers are from a Clematis Montana, a common climbing plant.
This particular plant was located just outside our front door🚪, and so travelling to the shooting location did not require an inordinate amount of energy. Nevertheless, I think the gruelling trek was made worthwhile by the view of these beautiful flowers. 😏

"Ace of Hearts"
Everyone's always saying we should recycle more ♻️. So, rather than throwing away a box of perfectly good shredded paper that we had lying around, I decided to use it to create an interesting background.
I positioned a playing card on the shredded paper and buried it a little, and I desaturated and darkened the paper in post-editing to make the card stand out dramatically.

@MaryMamuzich Thank you.
Although, I accidentally listed the names in the wrong order. The photo of the spider is called "Patience Is a Virtue", and the grasshopper image is called "A Handful".

@Cherishingsparrows2020 Thank you. 🙂

See a common theme? Yep - insects. 🐞🐝🦋
Photographing insects is relatively easy; they aren't as skittish as birds 🐦, nor as reclusive as rodents 🦔, nor as shy as deer 🦌, and they can be found almost anywhere. That's why it's quite fun to shoot them. Plus, you typically have a great deal more time to frame your shot than you would with a bird or other animal.
In order from left to right, their titles are "A Handful", "Patience Is a Virtue", and "Colour In a Grey World". Or is that last one too dramatic? 🤔
For anyone interested in the technical details:
1/320s, F3.2, ISO200 - 1/30s, F3.2, ISO100 - 1/125s, F3.5, ISO100

@Olamide Happy Birthday, Ndidi! 🎉

@Cherishingsparrows2020 Thank you.
No, I haven't, though I have thought about it.
