Not an amateur photo by any means. The Helix Nebula, aka the 'God's Eye Nebula' as taken from Hubble.

I would have to look in my folders to pull out some pretty cool pictures I have taken. Not sure if they can be next to the amazing photos that have already been posted here.

But since it is Wings Day on the planet, here is our rescued Yellow Cheek Amazon parrot named Jasper. We rescued him when he was five and he just turned 30 years old. It has been a wild ride with this animal who is smarter than some people I know.

Here is a very amateur pic, decided not to worry about bringing my camera on this trip, but here is where I'm spending the night...

I took this one late at night in the moonlight- great horned owl.

I had the shutter open for about 4 seconds, fortunatly my owl didn't move:

This is an unknown wildflower I got a pic of in Canada, no idea what it is. It is the only one of its type I've ever seen up there:

Mrs. TR is an orchid grower, and I've attended numerous shows with her. So I recognized the flower as an orchid right away, but had to use PlantNet to identify the actual plant, as orchids are the second largest plant genus.

It's a Calypso bulbosa, and is the only member of its species.

Nice picture - good bokeh.
