Project 365/335 – Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge
A pre-dawn start had me heading east on a dark and desolate road. This road was to lead me to great things on the Atlantic Ocean. Having never visited a wildlife refuge in Florida before, I was in for quite a birding extravaganza. Of course, silly me had […]
Project 365/324 – Snowy Owls in Delaware
Sometimes I wonder if getting up at 4:00 a.m. to drive two hours to arrive before dawn is worth the effort. Hot rumors were flying through the facebook birding groups last night about reports of Snowy Owls along the Delaware Bay. Arriving at my first stop, the only […]
Project 365/321 – Playing With Fire
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable. Bruce Lee

Project 365/313 – Fallen
The Leaves The leaves had a wonderful frolic. They danced to the wind’s loud song. They whirled, and they floated, and scampered. They circled and flew along. The moon saw the little leaves dancing. Each looked like a small brown bird. The man in the moon smiled and […]
Project 365/312 – Tree for Two
Today was a day filled with mundane tasks. Wrapping up mid-afternoon, a quick look outside caused these two Downy Woodpeckers to catch my eye. For once I had my camera set up for birding as earlier in the morning I was hoping to capture a Winter Wren. With […]
Project 365/311 – The Birds at Bombay Hook
It was one of those mornings, warmed by the early sun and the waning of the autumn leaves. When flocks of thousands of geese moved throughout the sky in search of warmer climes. The large National Wildlife Refuge provides a safe haven for a wide variety of birds. […]
