This little herd of deer was standing near the split rail fence, one of my favorite bird watching locations, when I went to the park with my camera on Sunday evening. They were more interested in browsing than curious about what I was doing, so I decided to take their picture before I headed out …
Lazy Sunday afternoon
After church and lunch, it was far too cold (about 16 degrees) for a trail walk, so I decided the best thing to do would be relax and read. Picking up this book I found in the bookstore before Christmas, that's exactly what I did. It has been a quiet, peaceful afternoon. This is my …
A surprise visitor at the back yard buffet
An unexpected visitor stopped by our back yard buffet this evening. Take a look at the pictures I captured.
Here she is: The red-eyed vireo
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 …
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.

Another day and a few more warblers
Although I didn't encounter as many warblers as yesterday, nor anything that made me as excited as the indigo bunting, this was still a delightful day in the park with Gulliver as my photo assistant. Being a "senior dog," he isn't impatient and will wait for me when I spot something I want to "shoot." …
Long day and a productive photowalk
Note: If you want to scroll through a gallery or see the large version of a photo, just click the pic. It has been one of those days that started early and just kept on going. By the time I got out for a photowalk, the afternoon light was waning, but the birds were still active. …
There’s never enough time!
It's already well past my bedtime, and here I sit, trying to get caught up with processing, selecting, and posting my pictures. there's just never enough time to do all the things I like and/or need to do in a day. I don't suppose I am alone in facing this conundrum, so I am open …
Rainy day blues
Have you ever thought about how inaccurate that phrase is? The rainy day grays would be a better description in my opinion. Sitting at my computer this afternoon, I glance out the window above me, and what I see is gray, not blue. Gray is the color of rainy days, and a very accurate description …
Evening walk
It was a great time for a walk in the park. The air was cool, but the late evening light was warm. Thanks for stopping by. I enjoyed sharing my evening walk with you. Skip aka Carolyn On its own, a blog is a monologue. If you leave a comment, it becomes a conversation. I would …
