Waiting Patiently

Cardinal Waiting Patiently In It’s Tree

The woods would be very silent
if no birds sang there,
except those that sang best.”

Blue Jay Invasion

This is the first year we have been inundated by Blue Jays. Good Golly Miss Molly.....do these guys make bombing raids of my yard! They eat any bird seed I put out, and they appear to have scared off my lovely Gold Finches. Any ideas? They are beautiful, but they can certainly be one big pain in the neck. Here’s hoping they get tired of this spot and fly away to another. I remember one dive bombing my mother when I was a little girl in Florida, ad it was awful. Trust me,I am staying a safe distance.

Fish & Fences; Skies & Shadows

I thought I had ruined this picture by having it on movie instead of photo on the iPhone. Well, dog-gone-it...I didn’t, and now I get to post it. Was putting gas n the car at a local truck stop where the gas is only $3.15, and I watched this truck pull in. When I focused in on the FISH, I knew I had to post it. To me, this is one of those one-of-a-kind change photos. The men were up on the top opening the compartments and sticking the pole in them.

 Bud, atop Terrapin Mountain.
No, I did not climb it with him. This was taken by a friend of ours.
I just had to post it because it is such a great shot of him.
He looks so happy to be where he is.


Bud calls these “Phantom Deer.”


There was something about the vertical silos and the horizontal fences that caught my eye as Bud was driving...an iPhone 4 drive-by. It was another dark and dreary day.

I think the little one looks like a dolphin in a tree!

Take Off at Big Spring

 One minute everything is still and quiet...just swimmin' along on a beautiful day.

Then, without a hint, we have take-off with ripple going every which way.

Gotta Feed Those Babies Part II

 It takes two to feed four! 

This look says emphatically...
"Scat! Leave us alone! Get away from the window ASAP!"

Double click and the click again to really blow up to see the babies. I was focusing on the babies so they are so sharp when the picture is enlarged.

If you missed the first installment of this series, please check on this link for:

The Babies Gotta Be Fed

than the way in which they can build and yet leave 
a landscape as it was before."

Two LIttle Birds Sitting in a Tree


THE STATE BIRD OF VIRGINIA

I think I see someone...

OK...I'm gonna go for it...

I was right...Look who's comin'...

 Whoa...Things are looking up...

 Two little birds sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G...
 and go away you nosey birds and give us some privacy...

I have a feeling this is just too good to last...

 Dog-Gone-It - I was right. It was too good to last.
