In yesterday's blog post about Friday Faces I mentioned that I saw my very first red-eyed vireo while walking on the trail through the bog. Another blogger commented that s/he had never seen a vireo, so, at that blogger's request, here it is: momma vireo sitting on her nest. It's not a great picture (not even …
Morning in the park
I took a break from working on my Blogging 101 assignments and headed for the park to give my camera a workout. Recently I've been spending way more time on the computer than I would like. Along the trail I walked this morning, I passed by this meadow where there are bluebird boxes. I actually …
Comic relief!
Caption anyone?I've heard that llamas like to spit and may even spit at you if you get in their space. I'm not sure if that's true because I've never seen it happen. But this did happen in front of me when I was visiting the animals in the FarmPark. Apparently llamas like to roll in the dirt, …
The GIFT of being “present”
(This post was written in response to the Blogging 101 assignment to write a post that builds on one of the comments you left yesterday. Don’t forget to link to the other blog!) Some random, rambling thoughts came to my mind when I read a blog post yesterday titled "Shut Up and Listen" on the blog named Away …
Recycling a robin
This morning the big blue recycling truck lumbered down our street, stopping at each house to collect the items placed at the curb for recycling. As a result, my post today involves recycling, but not that kind of recycling. Recently I read a suggestion that struck my fancy. The writer was encouraging photographers to search out and recycle old …
If you had joined me for my walk in the park today…
... You would have met Jessie and Joe. Even though their health, especially Jessie's, has declined since I first met them two years ago, they still take regular walks in the park. When I asked them for this photo opp, Jessie stepped away from the walker she now uses and they moved closer together. One of my joys …

Hello Bloggers!
Hello Bloggers. My name is Carolyn aka Skip; I live in northeast Ohio about a mile south of Lake Erie and 20 miles east of Cleveland, Ohio, and I will begin this introduction with a confession. I am both a Blipper and a Blogger, and Seen along the trail is NOT a new blog. I created …
Sense of place???
Are you wondering what I mean by "sense of place?" Here's the scoop. If you follow my blog, you know that I post a (huge) number of birds. I love photographing birds and catching them in action. Sometimes they have the most comical expressions, and honestly, their behavior can be outrageous and sometimes downright risque. …
Sun’s up!
I took an early morning walk today. The sun was up but not for long, and I've become a convert! Why in the world have I been lazing in bed until 8 am when I could be up and out by 6:30? I don't have much time for blogging today (I've already used up hours …
A muggy morning walk
Gulliver was my photo assistant again this morning. We didn't go far, just a little less than a mile, but we did see some birds of interest...to me at least. I don't think Gulliver was particularly interested in the birds, although he did show a little interest in the water fountain installed just for all …
