One cannot be at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park and not enjoy the Lions and Bears as well. Next to the Tiger pit were the two sister lions – Shera and Nababiep. These elegant cats enjoying the warm morning sun. The morning sun was also putting the Sloth […]
One phrase for today: Too Cute ! Too Cute ! Two little adorable, cuddly, cute, fuzzy and stripped Sumatran tiger cubs have started their daily outdoor adventures at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park. Born on August 5, 2013 to their parents Damai (mom) and Kavi (dad), Sukacita (girl) […]
These little beauties are regular visitors in the Manor’s garden. As winter is around the corner, visions of beautiful images with birds in the snow came to mind. I remembered that I had some from last winter in my portfolio. I was excited to revisit these images as […]

A quick post tonight because, frankly, I am completely bleary eyed. A wake up call at 4:00 am and a two-hour drive to Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge in 30 degree temperatures led to this glorious pre-dawn fire-red sky. It was well worth getting up so early as this […]
The temperatures have dropped dramatically, and with it the expected arrival of migrant ducks for the winter. A quick stop by my favorite local park proved to be a worthwhile visit. With mallards and a pair of Hooded Mergansers, the winter promises to be duck worthy. Be […]
