My Tiny Backyard Birds
I love birds of all sizes, especially the tiny ones in my yard. These black-capped chickadees were perfectly camouflaged in the tree while I watched them through my office window.

White and Wonderful, Snow and Clouds
For this week’s photo challenge, Sunday Stills, #White I’ll look to the pure driven snow and the snow-white clouds for inspiration.

A Burst of Color on a Dreary Winter’s Day
We’ve had a rather dull start to 2025, from the point of view of the weather: drizzly when not pouring rain, cold but not enough to snow. It makes me long for spring but we’ve quite a ways to go! In the meantime, I… Continue Reading “A Burst of Color on a Dreary Winter’s Day”

Mornings in the Garden with the Cats and the Birds
I’ve always enjoyed spending time outdoors, in my garden, and lately it starts earlier in the day. As a tripod, Benji must be supervised outside, and I’ve been yielding to his demands first thing in the morning, only fair since he lost his night… Continue Reading “Mornings in the Garden with the Cats and the Birds”

Little Anna’s through the Window
I have many other things I could be sharing on this dull Monday morning, but instead, I bring to you this flying jewel, a handsome Anna’s Hummingbird, seen through my office window. A welcome distraction. ~ Susanne

A Charm of Hummingbirds!
That’s what a group of hummingbirds is called. I rarely see them in groups, though I occasionally see a couple sparring for rights over the feeder. So last month during our record deep-freeze, 14 degrees overnight, I added an extra one to a new… Continue Reading “A Charm of Hummingbirds!”
