My Anna’s Beauties in Red and Green
Perhaps fuchsia and green is a more accurate description, but since my feature photo includes red, I’m sticking with the theme! Since I added a new feeder to the front maple tree, I’ve been enthralled by my visitors all day long, watching them through… Continue Reading “My Anna’s Beauties in Red and Green”

Looking out my Window with Benji
Facebook reminded me that 9 years ago, this was the view from my office window. It was Benji’s first snow. There’s been no snow yet this winter, but we still enjoy looking out the window. “Right, Benji?” “Of course, Sue.” This morning, I replenished… Continue Reading “Looking out my Window with Benji”

Summoned by the Hummingbirds
I have two hummingbird feeders in my backyard, that I keep filled year-round for the Anna’s who live here. The first two pictures below are from the summer. But the past few years, I’ve added an extra feeder to the front yard in the… Continue Reading “Summoned by the Hummingbirds”

Celebrating Animals in the Air, on Land, and Sea
Hooray for animals! Terri at #Sunday Stills reminded me that October 4th was World Animal Day. “World Animal Day is an International Day of Action for animal rights and welfare celebrated annually on October 4th, the feast day of Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.” Wikipedia Okay, honestly,… Continue Reading “Celebrating Animals in the Air, on Land, and Sea”

Bird Photo Fun – Looking for Red in Squares
I love the birds that visit my yard, but only a few of them are red. The male House Finch sports a rosy red head to attract his plainer looking lady friend. Here they are on the roof, with background erased for effect. The… Continue Reading “Bird Photo Fun – Looking for Red in Squares”

Back in the Pink
Last week at this time I was pretty miserable with whatever’s going around (I haven’t been that sick since covid.) But I’m finally back ‘in the pink’ so I’m here with a gallery to celebrate. Sharing with #SundayStills, Pink. That is all. ~ Susanne

Treated to a Rufous, On her way North
Anna’s Hummingbirds visit my feeders year-round, male and female both dark green, the male especially handsome with his ruby red crown. But this weekend, I saw flashes of brown and rust on a first-time, smaller visitor, the Rufous Hummingbird. She was a beauty, though… Continue Reading “Treated to a Rufous, On her way North”

Happy Hummingbirds on the Road to Spring
A feeder hangs from a maple tree in front of my house. I watch the hummingbirds zip by from my office window, their heads and faces, as colorful as flowers. The snow has melted. My handsome Anna’s Hummingbirds cheer me on the road to… Continue Reading “Happy Hummingbirds on the Road to Spring”

My Anna’s Hummingbirds
As temperatures continue to plunge, I’m taking extra care to keep the hummingbird feeders thawed out and replenished. That means remembering to bring them in at night and returning them first thing in the morning; otherwise they are frozen solid. My sweet little birds… Continue Reading “My Anna’s Hummingbirds”

More Birds in the Winter Garden in all Sizes
As the temperatures have dropped, I’ve had to keep the water thawed and available for the birds, and the hummingbird feeders, as well. Today they appreciated it as dozens of birds, visited throughout the day. Starting with Chestnut-backed Chickadees, and Golden-crowned Kinglets. Townsends’ Warblers,… Continue Reading “More Birds in the Winter Garden in all Sizes”
