... with me for a short walk in the woods. Click on the first picture to bring up the gallery and enjoy an autumn morning. My walk in the park not far from our home is a special hour in my day. Setting out with my camera, hoping to capture a few good pictures, fills …
Autumn has arrived!
Winter jacket, winter hat, and hand warmers were needed for my walk in the park today. On the plus side, it hasn't rained all day and the wind has died down to a gentle breeze. Hurricane Sandy, aka the "storm of the century", has moved out, leaving many people without power for several days and …
Magical
Sometimes a simple walk in the park on a brisk fall afternoon can turn into a magical experience. My walk today was like that. I'm not sure if it was the crispness of the fall air or just the time of day, but the animals were very active. I posted my favorite images in the …
Florida 2012- Entry 1: Sandhill crane ballet
Note: This is the first of several photoblog posts taken on my visits to family in Florida. Driving through the neighborhood where my niece Christina and her family live, we spotted two sandhill cranes. Some years ago, on a trip through the Platte River area in Nebraska with our oldest grandchildren, we had seen thousands …

Summer is here for sure!
It was good to get back to the park for a photo walk this morning. I hadn't been there in a while, and it is amazing to see the changes as we slide from spring into "seriously-it's-summer!" Despite our lack of rain, the grass and trees in the park are still green and beautiful, but …
Vibrant visitors
We have managed to attract a greater variety of birds to our backyard feeding station this summer. The most recent, and most exciting for me, is a pair of Baltimore orioles. I have a list of 30 birds I hope to blip (photograph) this spring and summer, and the oriole is at the top of …
A glorious spring morning
Had I ordered today's weather, the day would have dawned just as it did. It was one of those rare spring mornings when just about everything is perfect. I headed to the park for a short walk, but ended up staying much longer than I meant to. Mondays are great! Most of the weekend warriors …
Migratory birds and more
Hopefully this will be the first of several posts with pictures of migratory birds, baby animals, and all the wonders of spring. We are blessed with a glorious creation to enjoy, and here in Ohio, spring has been both unusual and special. Here are a few photos for a start. Click on any picture to …
Serendipity
Another sudden change in the weather has brought on a day that is sunny, hot, and MUGGY! I like it all but the muggy part, but it is what it is, and I'm not complaining. A walk in the park around mid-day captured several photos that made me happy. First, a red admiral butterfly. They …
Eureka! (An addendum to my previous post)
I probably should title this post "Learning the Hard Way" because I learned something new about my camera this week, and it has improved my image quality and lessened the amount of post-processing I have to do. Happily, I am much better pleased with my images. Unhappily, this is something I could have done a …
