Happy Monday with the Hummers
The weather has definitely turned here in the Pacific Northwest and I’ll be seeing my hummingbirds at the feeders more often. This morning I stood in the shed nearby and watched this handsome Anna’s stop by to feed. Isn’t he lovely? 🙂 Happy Monday!… Continue Reading “Happy Monday with the Hummers”
Blue Jays – the Teenager of Birds
I don’t know if I’ve posted about Blue Jays before, but I do love these funny birds! To me they are all teenagers, friendly and talkative if not screechy, hopping about in the trees above, voicing their opinions about everything and everyone on the… Continue Reading “Blue Jays – the Teenager of Birds”
Black-Capped Chickadee
The little bird that caught my attention many years ago and turned me into a birdwatcher. Cheerful and talkative, still one of my favorites, presented first in black and white, then in living color. “A bird almost universally considered “cute” thanks to its oversized… Continue Reading “Black-Capped Chickadee”
A Trip to Sol Duc for the Falls and the Swallows!

Small Ones in the Garden
My little chickadees stopping by for a drink tiny feet gripping little wink of the eye. Tiny lavender blossoms bees on their way to work cool morning shift hot sun in the late afternoon. The best things in the garden are #Small. ~ Susanne
Ducks, Herons and Swallows on the Cedar River Trail
As the temperatures are heating up and summer is in full swing, I’ve enjoyed getting outside for some exercise and nature therapy. This week, I managed to get in two walks on the Cedar River Trail where it flows into Lake Washington. The first… Continue Reading “Ducks, Herons and Swallows on the Cedar River Trail”
Feathered and Furry Friends
It’s a bit of a dilemma as both call my backyard, home. They come as they please, my feathered friends, the regulars and seasonal visitors. They find shelter, water, food, and many, a nesting place. The furry residents call the same domain their kingdom.… Continue Reading “Feathered and Furry Friends”
