El Red-winged Paso Doble
I’m going to call this series “El Red-winged Paso doble” because, to me, it looks as if this bird is using his wings like a dancer uses a cape in the Paso doble, and it’s as if he’s emoting a great amount of bravado… Continue Reading “El Red-winged Paso Doble”
The Patio Pond is Coming To Life Again
Our first Spring in our new house (2017) we used an old 400 gallon poly stock tank to create a patio pond. We bought eight feeder goldfish at Walmart. They were about the length of my thumb. We added a “toss and grow” boxed… Continue Reading “The Patio Pond is Coming To Life Again”

Late Autumn
It was cold today. The wind was fierce. I wore two hats and a hood to remain on the edge of comfort while I sat patiently waiting for a special moment to materialize. It was worth it. Here are my favorites for the day.… Continue Reading “Late Autumn”
If You Look, You Will See
There’s an iconic saying from the movie, Field of Dreams. “If you build it, they will come.” I felt that way when we put up our first hummingbird feeder, our first Bluebird house and even the first bird seed feeder. Put it out there,… Continue Reading “If You Look, You Will See”
Cute Hat!
