With a hint of grace and elegance, a statue Geisha Girl pours life giving water to the wildlife at the manor. It’s always full of surprises with the visitors that come and go. Both those with feathers and those with fur visit for refreshment. But best of all […]

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to get some lovely bird images. Not birding as much and waiting for the fall migration to begin, things have been a bit slow. It doesn’t help that the few warblers that are buzzing around have been far and elusive. […]
