Through the Mist

After the rain last night a mist gently lifted up from the 

marsh enveloping the Great Blue Heron.

Great Blue Herons

A surprise on the last day of March (yesterday)...

we saw 5 Great Blue Herons.

Wonderful to see them....still have snow on the 

ground but they seem to be able to fish.

Signs of spring while still resembling winter.

Catching up

Autumn fills the air as nature prepares for winter...

Chippy found an overturned cup of sunflower seeds

and filled his cheeks and disappeared to store them.

 

 

 

A very young finch is finding food in our wildflowers.

 

 

I am seeing birds I haven't seen before in our garden.

I am not sure who this one is!

 

The hummingbird is still here finding nectar in 

unusual flowers.

 

 

 The chickadees are here there and everywhere!

 

A great blue heron fishes in an inlet...

and a favorite thing to do for us is to see the egrets

fly in early evening back to the safety of the island.

They are so majestic and graceful and fill us with

wonder!

Happy Birthday!

Wishing a very Happy Birthday to my sister

October 19, 2012

to share with those you love

filled with favorite and delectable foods to munch

 

and savor,

 

 

and filled with love!

A Special Day

Today was very memorable,

an early morning phone call

brought wonderful news!

Our grand niece was born on our anniversary!

Great Blue Heron and Friends

What a surprise to come across
this Great Blue Heron on a cold
gray day...

Upon closer inspection we noticed
these two who nearly blended into
the background.

Always an inspiration to discover
birds wherever they may be.

Solace

I've been away...
this Great Blue Heron

added solace to the day.
