Never Enough Peanuts for These Beautiful Blue Jays…
Been hanging around my yard a lot more lately with all this crazy social distancing, so today I decided to fill my peanut feeder and watch the Blue Jays do their thing. They are so entertaining! They are so focused on the newly filled peanut feeder, that they don't...
Meet Harry & Hermione, Our Resident Eastern Screech Owls
A few weeks ago, my husband came in loudly whispering "There's something in the tree! I think it's an owl." Well...first thing I did was grab my camera. I'm always on the hunt for interesting birds and other wildlife, and the fact that there was an owl in my own tree...
White Rock Lake – A Must See for Hiking and Biking
A few weeks ago, I was at White Rock Lake for a short visit to cheer on (and photograph) my nephew who was running in the BMW Dallas Marathon. What a beautiful park. I have been there many times to ride my bike around the lake. It's about 9 miles around the lake, and...
Butterflies or a Trip to the Grocery Store?
I was pulling out of my driveway yesterday to head to the grocery store (one of my least favorite tasks), and as I was backing out, I noticed a really beautiful black and yellow butterfly enjoying my crazy, wild Lantana. My grocery list was long, but it had also been...
This Moose Got A Little Too Close for Comfort: A Colorado Adventure

On our first trip to Estes Park, Colorado, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I was certainly hoping to see some wildlife to take photos of, but what I experienced was way beyond what I'd hoped for. On about day 3 of our adventure, I drove over to Lake Estes by...
Everyone Needs to See Baby Swallows Being Fed…
It had been one of those days! I knew I the only way to fix it was to pack my camera bag and get outside! So, I did just that. I packed my camera bag and headed out towards Wylie, Texas. I knew I'd see something fun out near Lake Lavon, but I wasn't sure what. As...
Bethany Lakes Park…A Little Piece of Paradise in Allen, Texas
There just wasn't much going on in my backyard, as far as birds to photograph, so I hopped in my car and headed over to Bethany Lakes Park. My camera had been calling to me all day long, so I knew I had to get out and capture some photos. It was sunny and 70 degrees...
A Beautiful Day to Hike at The Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary
One of my favorite places to go and get away, is the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary. It is surprisingly close to my home (right in the middle of crazy, busy Allen, Texas), but once you get out there, it's like you've entered another world....
