  1. These are brilliant Bless. I'm impressed that you were able to get 'wildlife' without leaving home! All of the tree bark photos are great but the eucalyptus is my favourite.

    Many thanks for joining in. xx

    1. Thank you, Eileen. The raccoons showed up just at the right time, didn't they? :D I'm having fun participating; thank you for hosting the WPSH.

    1. Thank you, Ratnamurti! What a lovely thing to say! :) Yes, I was lucky to have a visit from the raccoons (although they dug up some of my flower bulbs!)
      By the way, I have been unable to comment on your blog until today! I got the same error message I've been getting when I tried earlier, but, on the second attempt, I was able to comment!

  4. I love the lattice shadow. Tree bark is always fascinating, I find, and of course those raccoon photos are priceless! Your winter sun is just how it was here yesterday. It's good to be able to see it even if it is through clouds.

    1. Thank you, Bushlady. I'm pleased with how the lattice shadow turned out. I, too, find the different types of tree bark to be interesting. As soon as I saw that sun trying to shine through the clouds, I knew I had to take a photo for the challenge! We had a lovely sunny day, today. :)

  5. Fun! I always enjoy these posts. I like the lattice shadows and the Winter sun. And the clean sliding glass door! lol It looks pristine. :)
    But I do not like the raccoons. No - that would scare me!
    Another good round of photos from you.

    1. Thank you, Debra. I must admit that I was glad that there was a door between the raccoons and me! I was once out watering the front garden, a few years ago, when one of them climbed down neighbor T's tree! I was not sure what to do, but, it saw me and ran to the back garden!

    1. Thank you, Mary-Lou. Yes, each tree seems to have a different tree bark; if I had to choose one, I'd go with the eucalyptus, I think. :)
