Fruits In My Front Yard

Today I have seven photos of fruits in my front yard. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.

Full Resolution Photos and Prints: To see all of my at home/backyard photography photos, use this link.

 Had a few supermarket strawberries go bad on me so I through them in the front yard. I got a lot of strawberry plants growing in the front yard now. LOL Sadly, the snails and other wildlife seems to be better at getting to them before I do...


Photos of loquat on the loquat tree in my front yard. The squirrels and birds are also a pretty big issue with these fruits.

Fremont Central Park (5/15/2014) - Fremont, CA (Part 3)

As you guys know, ever since I moved out of Fremont, CA, I haven't visited Central Park (Lake Elizabeth) much after. I recently met up with a friend at the park and took some photos. I will be splitting the photos I shot there into 3 parts. I have some scenery shots, some flower shots, and some wildlife shots. I hope you enjoy viewing these photos. These photos were shot on 5/15/2014.

The photos for today will be the last of my photos from Fremont Central Park from this trip. All of the photos will be wildlife photos. The main focus of this post will be of a Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) family.

Spotted this family of Canada Geese (Branta canadensis).

Black and white process of the photo above.    

This family of geese will be the focus of the blog post today.  

 Black and white process of the photo above.


More photos of the babies as they came towards me. 


Now they are crossing the walking path to the lake. 

 Black and white process of the photo above.

They approached the water but was too scared to jump down the ledge. One of the parent geese jumped down to show them, and tried to convince them to go down, but they were too scared. 

 Black and white process of the photo above.


In the end, these babies circled over to a nearby boat ramp and walked down there. 

Here is another photo of a geese. Not sure what species this is.

Scenery shot of Lake Elizabeth at Central Park.

Black and white process of the photo above.   

Another scenery shot of Lake Elizabeth. Before I left for Pleasanton, the BART construction workers cut a dam across the lake to build the tunnel and to drain part of the lake. This trip there, the dam is gone and the entire lake is now filled. The trail used to be around this area and it cut across to the other shore.

 Saw this mother squirrel feeding and coaching her babies. Sadly, the babies all went back into the hole when I finished switching my lens. I went ahead and got a photo of the mother. 

 Black and white process of the photo above.  


Another photo of that squirrel.  

Black and white process of the photo above.   

Now a photo of a squirrel peeking out from its hole.  

 Black and white process of the photo above.  


Next this little thing ran up to me and started begging for food. Sadly, I had nothing for it, but I decided to get a photo. closer inspection showed this squirrel is blind in one eye. I feel kind of sad I had nothing I can give it. Poor thing. 

 Here is another few shots of the one-eyed squirrel. 


A squirrel staring off into space... 

It spotted me! 

Another squirrel photo.  

Two photos of a Mallard Duck (Anas platyrhynchos).
