Even though I’ve been running around like crazy this week, it doesn’t mean that I don’t have my camera on the ready. Sitting on the dining room table, the “baby” is always ready for action. So a few bits and pieces from the manor’s life this week. First […]
The colors of nature never cease to amaze. From the bright pink of a beautiful flamingo, to the subdued black and white of a zebra. How I wish I was as good of an artist as Mother Nature is. “I asked the Zebra, are you black with white […]
Yesterday morning, the Feathered Friends Photography Meetup group participated in a wonderful Birds of Prey Photo Safari hosted by David Muse of Baltimore Photo Safari and Marie Joabar of Capital Photography. This event is offered twice a year and each time that I participate the experience is brand […]
The autumn air has brought in a flurry of activity along the garden. It seems that all of the birds discovered the manor as a bird eden and were flitting and fluttering all about. Spending nearly three hours stalking shrubbery, the best was enjoying Ruby Crowned Kinglets chasing […]
There’s been a bird feeder in the garden this past week. Not the one that you can buy at Home Depot, but rather one with feathers. This beautiful Cooper’s Hawk has been swooping into the Cherry tree at the manor, hoping for some little birdy delicacies. Looking up…looking […]

Teeny, tiny little things that zip frantically in the trees looking for bugs. Ruby Crowned Kinglets love to summer in Canada and winter in the southern United States. Trying to photograph these little guys is really an exercise in futility. Rarely sitting for more than a moment, they […]
I must admit. I’m addicted to warblers. I think they are the most darling birds ever. But they are tough to photograph. Really tough. They are little, they are high up in 30 to 40 foot trees that are filled with leaves. Add to that, they are in […]
All good things come to those that wait. Seems that Sunshine has mastered the art of sitting still as a statue under the bird feeder waiting for our feathered friends. Surely I could take lessons from her as while waiting for the birds to come in, I fidget. […]
I was out early with the bunnies and birds last week. A small park just outside of Baltimore named Cromwell Valley Park is for some reason is a magical spot for migrating warblers in the fall. A small stretch within a tree canopy next to a dry stream is […]
