I uh-am a Punk Rocker – Red Breasted Merganser
Call me funky, call me punky. I’m the Red Breasted Merganser. With a punk rock hairdo, I love to do the dabble.
Frozen
Frozen with fear. Frozen with the unknown. Frozen in time not knowing what step to take. When is the thaw? When will I know? When will it be time to dance?
Cold and Stark
Walk along the frozen river. Where quiet set in like the fog. Nothing but the wind whistling through the trees. Perhaps a bridge will lead us into the spring. With the promise of gentle breezes and soft blossoms. Beyond the bridge, hope dissipates as the frozen river travels […]
It’s Cold Out There
Freezing temperatures for quite some time have frozen over the Magothy River. The ice can be seen heading out towards the Chesapeake Bay. But a small patch of water remained, where many ducks, geese and swans found refuge. I had brought some corn to share with my feathered […]

Scrappy Scaup
Yep, I’m a scrappy scaup. Lesser Scaup that is. My brothers and cousins come in huge numbers and love to winter along the Chesapeake Bay. We’re little diving ducks that love the water. One of my favorite things to do with my cousins is to confuse little birders […]
Getting Art into your Life at the Baltimore Museum of Art
Mother nature isn’t the only fantastic artist on earth. Spectacular works of art have been created throughout the centuries, both modern and old. It makes us think hard, like Rodin’s “the Thinker”, of the meaning of life. Sitting there contemplating how our lives fit into the tapestry. Mother […]
