Bald Eagle. B is for Beautiful. B is for Breathtaking. Last spring, while driving near the Delaware river, we were thrilled to see a Bald Eagle. It was young so the colors weren’t exactly right. They don’t get their white heads until nearly five years old. It flew to a tree on our side of the [...]
There isn’t much outdoors to look at except dreary skies and occasional spits of snow or rain. Really a yucky day. But, I just put a bird feeder on my window so that I can enjoy seeing the birds while I type away at my computer. I also put a couple of seed bells in [...]
Gardening is something that just about anyone can do. Children to older folks can participate and there is no right or wrong way to do it, just easier and harder. It gives us something in common with people we meet. It connects us with those that made us aware of the pleasure it can bring. It is [...]
Well, it is January and way too cold to wander around with my camera so I will share some spring pictures from last year and dream about when I can get outside and start the spring stuff in my garden.

We have all been given advice on the many ways to take care of Christmas trees, so if you are like me you will probably be surprised how [...]
Couldn’t resist this shot. The sun caught the web just perfectly. It was a bit over my head but I was still able to capture it. I am amazed at how talented a simple spider is. The work was so intricate and perfect yet strong enough to stand the wind and weight of the spider. Kinda [...]
Sharing some fun Halloween greetings. A local orthodontist in our area has these enormous pumpkins at Halloween time every year. They are giant! Maybe about 4 feet tall and just as wide! I am not sure where he finds them or who carves them but they certainly amuse the motorists and their passengers as they are [...]
