Birds of Summer, Part II
House Finch (male) I usually try to space out my photography posts, but as this week has been an especially busy one, I am afraid I don’t have much in the way of new artwork or poetry to share at the moment. So, bird photos it is. A thought: I firmly believe that my photography, […]

Birds of Summer
American Goldfinch (female) In my last photography post, I mentioned that I have a backlog of bird photos to share. So, I’ve decided to post an assortment here. All of these photographs were taken in my backyard. I hope you enjoy them.

Birds & Blooms

On Capturing Moments
Northern Cardinal (male) Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it. Ray Bradbury I generally prefer the term, “birdwatching” to “birding” when it comes to describing my bird-observing activities (and […]
