This morning I headed out to a local park The Patapsco Valley State Park. A perennial favorite for my friend and I to hike. Arriving a little early so that I could explore, I stopped by “Lost Lake” and managed to capture four different birds in one image. The […]
It was a day of bi-polar weather with the sunrise illuminating the snow that was heavily falling on the bay. By noon, the dark gray skies moved east, opening up to beautiful bright blue skies with puffy clouds. I had visions of visiting the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore […]
With the spring like day, the zoo was filling to the brim with family and children. Enjoying the natural sights and sounds of the wildlife throughout the Smithsonian National Zoo. The bird area is well laid out with a wide variety of exotic birds to enjoy. It was […]
It’s been a wonderfully, glorious and beautiful pre-spring day today. Heading down to Washington DC for a visit to the Smithsonian National Zoological Park for a Feathered Friends meetup, two Giant Panda Bears were out in the warming sun enjoying a bamboo breakfast. How could I not stop […]

The wild goose chase actually started yesterday at the wee hours of pre-dawn at five in the morning. Heading out of the house at six in order to arrive at Quarry Lake in Baltimore, Maryland before the sun rose, the thought of seeing a rare goose was better […]
The long term below freezing temperatures has caused the Chesapeake Bay to be filled with ice. It is a rather unusual for the bay to be iced covered and hubby doesn’t remember the bay being frozen like this since 1976. The wildlife have been looking for open patches […]
