Building a Nest
On March 27, 2020, I ventured out to the patio, again without a tripod and again on a cloudy day. Hence, these photos are not as clear as I would like. But, I couldn’t resist capturing some shots of the female Eastern Bluebird while… Continue Reading “Building a Nest”
Bluebirds – action Shots
The header photo is a female Eastern Bluebird (the one that is claiming a nest box on the south fence of my office patio yard.) She took flight from her position near the box and I just snapped. The box is over 50 feet… Continue Reading “Bluebirds – action Shots”

Hydroponics – Day Four
Project One – Countertop Sprouts Getting hungry for tuna salad sandwich with lots of sprouts!

So awesome. I know there are millions of people out there that have… Continue Reading “Hydroponics – Day Three”
