The Magic of the Peanut Feeder
I discovered the magic of the peanut feeder a few years ago when my friend told me I needed one to go with all of my bird houses and feeders. I had never heard of them but was certainly curious. I ordered one right away. That was the beginning of getting nothing done...
Santa Was Good To Me This Year…
I had a great time last week at Bethany Lakes Park testing out my new lens that I got for Christmas. Santa was very good to me this year. This new Canon 600mm lens allows me to stay quite a distance away from birds, ducks, and other animals, while still getting a...
Time for a Butterfly Garden
I love it when I'm heading out to check the mail, and one of my little butterfly friends stops by to visit my crazy, wild Lantana that grows out in front of my house. On this particular day, I saw him on my way back from the mailbox. I quickly ran in, set the mail...
Another Quick Trip to Connemara with my Sony 200-600

Harry & Hermione Have Moved In…Finally!
A few weeks ago, I wrote a short blog post titled Meet Harry and Hermione, Our Resident Eastern Screech Owls, about two owls that visited our backyard every single night! We had so much fun watching them, and I was able to get some photos of them both, but especially...
