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!

Sharing a Log



A few weeks ago, when I bicycled to the ocean,
I paused to look at the cove on the way back,
and to my surprise, this is what I saw!
