#birdweekly, Flicker, Fox Sparrow, bird watching
I saw a bird flying in and out of a hole in a barn in a local park and zoomed in to see what was going on. This little guy popped his head out. There seemed to be a lot action going on It wasn’t until I got home and looked closely at the series […]
I did a lot of walking over the past two weeks and of course had my camera in hand. While visiting a beautiful park in Spring Lake, New Jersey, these two swans came to greet us. Bird Weekly
The month of March seems to have flown by, taking it with it the one year anniversary of when life as we had known it changed. The school I work in closed down and went to Zoom, people around me were sick with Covid, and fear of the unknown gripped us everyday. Fortunately vaccines have […]
I met a friend for coffee the other day. We have known each other 30 years, we met while commuting to New York City on a local bus. Something we both agreed would most likely not happen today as people are focused on their cell phones, rarely looking up and even smiling to acknowledge another’s […]

Some of my favorite black and white photos are those taken at the ocean on a rainy day. The black and white seems to fit the mood, the cloudy skies, the waves, all translate well into black and white. This is a pedestrian bridge recently built in the town where I live. I spent most […]

This is Gracie. She lives in a local park, which I found out after asking the president of our local Audubon Society why a hawk would let me get so close. She took up residence and does not seem to be bothered by people. Quite a thrill for me to get so close to a […]
For One Word Sunday, Brian at Bushboys World posted the empty chair, with a chair reminding me of one I own, so here is my companion to his post today. Another empty chair. I found this chair in an antique shop in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It is solid and very heavy and I assume at one […]
Let’s see if we can assemble in a straight line… assemble
The Great Backyard Bird Count took place all over the world this past weekend. You can learn about it here and participate today, February 15th I spent Sunday on the look out for visitors to my yard . A flock of Starlings showed up, the minute I moved to take their photo they flew. This […]
Today’s prompt is Brain/Mind/Think Written in 1969, the song has been recorded more than 100 times, first by Lightfoot himself for the album Sit Down Young Stranger. The album was not a commercial success, but after the song reached #5 on the US singles chart in 1971, the album was renamed after the song and re-released, […]
Last week in school we had a special event day. Everyone was asked to dress up as their favorite book character. The day was to be spent in D.E.A.R. time- that’s Drop Everything And Read. There was a Bingo game with questions about your book, there were reviews of books and discussions about them. It […]
As a lover of all birds, this is tricky. But I will admit I do have some favorites. Grey Catbird. I love their call, which sounds like a meow. I love their black cap and red underside, usually hidden from view. Mockingbird. The great mimic who can sing on and on without taking a break. They […]
I still live in the same town where I grew up, been here since 1962. I moved from my parent’s home into my own apartment in town, and then married and we bought a house a few blocks from my childhood home. I saw today’s prompt and thought of how I still consider the home […]
I can’t say much good has come out of our present world in this pandemic, but if I did have to find something I would say the use of ZOOM has connected us in a way we might never have thought possible. My school was closed back in March and remained so for the remainder […]

This week, LAPC #131 gives us the opportunity to focus on emotions. Show photos that captures people’s feelings, such as happiness, anger, sadness, curiosity, or fear. Or, choose a subject or scene that evokes an emotion in the viewer. I began sifting through the many files of photos on my computer and kept coming across old […]

I began knitting again after Covid 19 brought changes to the world. It was helpful to have something to keep my hands and mind busy, distract me from the stress of school and the ever present underlying feeling of tension. A close friend is a knitter, so she helped me through the mistakes as my […]
