“I’m Feeling Fine…on Mulberry Wine” This juvenile robin was resting in my driveway mid morning. My parked car was not four feet from him. I needed to get into my car and move some things around. He just watched me walk to my car, open the trunk, close […]
One of the curses, and sometimes blessings of getting older is that a good night sleep begins to escape you. Waking up at four in the morning, and tossing and turning for an hour kicked started me on my adventure earlier than I had expected. But good fortune […]
It’s been a great day with the ponies, but the humidity wore me out. Somehow my creative juices aren’t working very well today. I’ve got an idea here and there for my photo of the day, but just too lazy to pull it together. Looking out my window […]
I’m leaving on a jet plane. Don’t know when I’ll be back again. Oh babe I hate to go. But all my bags are packed and ready to go. Heading from one steam bath to another. An overdue trip to North Central Florida for a few days. While […]

A very long and special field trip was enjoyed on Sunday with fifteen hours of traveling, birding and beach scenes. The Horseshoe crabs are hitting the beaches to have sex on the beach and leave their eggs fertilized. The primary food source for migrating Red Knots from the […]
With good fortune, my visitors from Colorado happen to enjoy birding. Leaving the boys at home the girls went out to play. Visiting Wooton’s Landing to see what birds we could find our first discovery was this pair of Hairy Woodpeckers that were busy feeding their little family. […]
