The Little Beast

It has been over a month now and Gabby is still stroller bound fighting a foot infection. I’m beginning to think she is enjoying all of this extra attention and thinks that as long as she wears her Minion sock she can continue to go shopping and be carried everywhere. After informing the vet that…

The Week In Seven Photos

It was a hot week, not record-setting, but 94 degrees in May is way too excessive!! The deer were running their errands by 8:00 a.m. The hummingbirds were parched. Great Blue Herons had to cool off hot toes in the lake. The bees were hiding. Days spent hanging around and waiting for a breeze that…

The Week In Seven Photos

It has been an extremely quiet week at home while Gabby tries to recuperate. We are often dealing with her stomach illnesses, but this week she decided to double up on her recent stomach illness with a severe infection in her paw. Most of the week she could be found resting in her favorite position with…

Spring is…

An owl was watching me as I snapped this photo. Watched the owl flying through the woods for the second time this week from this location. I dragged myself away from looking for the owl to capture these frost feathers. It was snowing in the woods as I was searching for the owl. As you can…

Definitely Not Hoodie Weather!

You might have heard that it’s been rather cold this January and some days I wonder why it feels like it takes me until spring to figure out how to dress for the weather. When I went to the park over the weekend, I did have a coat on over my hoodie but had not…

I’m So Excited, And I Just Can’t Hide It

I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it now that I have finally captured my first photo of an owl in the wild. This exciting, fabulous Barred owl was in my backyard Saturday morning and I almost missed seeing him. I recently watched a photography video on light and the rare sighting this week…

Had To Hit The Pause Button

While binge-watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, I had to hit the pause button when I glanced out the window and discovered these two Red-bellied woodpeckers hanging out. Thankfully these two polite guests, who never visit together, were kind enough to wait while I ran through the house, grabbed my camera and hurried out the door for…
