Yes, yes it is! However, just so I didn't get TOO excited about the weather, Mother Nature was kind enough to keep things cool outside - like, 37F/3C with some nice ~~frellin' arctic blasts of wind~~ breezes while I was taking these shots. Still - there's absotively posolutely no snow or sleet anywhere in sight,... Continue Reading →
Woody Woodpecker and friend stopped in for a visit
Saturday (the 24th), as I was diligently working on my @steemusa intro challenge post, something outside my window caught my eye. Needless to say, by the time I got outside with my camera and tripod, Woody had flown off to a different tree. However, since it was "nice" out (38F/3.3C), I decided to hang around...

Grey gloomy morning, but the birds are still chirping!
First thing this morning (March 28th, 2018) I went out to start hubby's work truck, and groused for the billionth time that his windshield was covered in frost. I mean, come on already Mother Nature! Bad enough my internal thermometer is flipping out (thank you, menopause), but this winter-weather-in-spring is getting older than me (and... Continue Reading →
Small selection of Sunday shots (some silly)
Happy Sunday afternoon from my snow-covered corner of the world! Earlier today, I had the chance to spend some time outside in the yard with my camera and tripod (and some inside my warm house in front of a window), and thought I'd share a small selection of them. Okay, so maybe getting up an... Continue Reading →
More snow? BOO! More pictures? YAY! Some from NIGHT and some from DAY!
Yeah, I have no idea why the title came out of my brain that way... LOL! Just as the weatherman predicted, temps around here hovered around 70F/21C on Wednesday,and melted all the snow we got on Sunday. Apparently, that annoyed Mother Nature to no end, so she hit us with another (albeit, much smaller) storm... Continue Reading →

MM – For the birds
I suppose by now it's no secret that I'm a teeny, tiny bit obsessed with the feathered creatures that visit my yard. Since a few people have asked me recently what I put out for the birds, I thought I'd do a short post about what goes into the Avian Eatery. Here's a picture of... Continue Reading →
MM – My Quote Challenge
Last week, I did a post featuring visual quotes from three of my favorite authors (my pictures, their words). Two of my readers kindly left their favorite quotes, and a light bulb went off over my head. I asked myself, "Hey, how about doing a Quote Challenge as the thing for National Photography Month?" I...

MicroblogMondays – Something to crow about
First, a hat tip to Bonnie Raitt for the post title (although I replaced "talk" with crow) and apologies to everyone for the unintentional ear worm. *grin* I think by now everyone knows that I love crows (as evidenced here, and here, as well as here, and not forgetting here). I've spent the past year... Continue Reading →
