Fly Like An Eagle
There is a river near my home that many Eagles frequent-two of these Eagles have built a nest in a tree there. I took a walk along the river this morning and much to my delight saw a few of the locals- juvenile Eagles flying around. Their heads still brown, not white as when they […]

Thursday’s Special: Focus
The theme of this week’s Thursday Special challenge is FOCUS. Paula says: We all want our images to be tack sharp and in focus, but there are situations when we prefer to have some parts of the image in blur i.e. out of focus to better isolate the subject we want to focus on (pun […]
Nature vs First Grade
Working as an assistant all day in a classroom with 19 first grade boys can be exhausting. I am usually spent by days end. At the moment I am reevaluating if I want to continue doing what I am doing or look into other options. Am I burned out after 5 years in the classroom? […]
The Weekly Smile
The weather yesterday was unseasonably warm- close to 70 in February when it should really be in the 40’s! I took advantage of this welcome occurrence by heading out for a walk. I passed a couple on the trail walking in the opposite direction, laden down with binoculars and cameras, and we said a friendly […]

Owls, Coyotes and Trees, Oh My
Sunday I visited Wave Hill , a 28-acre estate in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, in New York City. It consists of public horticultural gardens and a cultural center, all situated on the slopes overlooking the Hudson River. A friend and I spent the day there- attending two lectures and walking the grounds. One […]

Rainy Day Tuesday
It rained all day yesterday and it’s raining again today. No complaints from me as it is January and it could very well be snow! One more day closer to spring I keep saying. However, it is dreary, and though I am indoors all day it still somehow sets the mood. I’ll share some of […]

Good Morning New Year!
I started the year off by visiting my favorite local trail and seeing if the squirrels who live in a tree house there were home. I wrote about them previously here. I looked up and made some “clucking” type noises to see if anyone would come out and say hello. After a minute or so […]
Weeky Photo Prompt: Resilient
Our Uncle Yakob, who lived a long and healthy life until his passing at the age of 107. Resilient he was, fleeing Poland at the onset of WWII, going to Germany, Italy, Panama and eventually finding his way to the United States. He lived his life with a positive outlook which we try to take a lesson from. […]

Feathers on Friday
The House Sparrow is so common I think it is overlooked by everyone. I spotted one blending in with the bush it was perched upon and decided to take some shots of him. He deserves some attention too.
If We Were Having Coffee….
I would invite you in because it is pretty chilly out there! The sky is clear blue, but it is deceiving when you step outside the door. I did go for an early morning walk spotting these early birds.. you know the saying….. Two of our great nieces (they are cousins) came Friday morning to […]
Giving Thanks
I walked for two hours Thanksgiving morning, leaving just after the sun rose. It was cloudy and the forecast called for rain later in the day so I wanted to head out early. I visited my favorite local trails and took in the beauty around me, thinking of the friends no longer on this Earth […]

Feathers on Friday: Eastern Phoebe
One of the most familiar eastern flycatchers, the Eastern Phoebe’s raspy “phoebe” call is a frequent sound around yards and farms in spring and summer. These brown-and-white songbirds sit upright and wag their tails from prominent, low perches. They typically place their mud-and-grass nests in protected nooks on bridges, barns, and houses, which adds to […]
Song Lyric Sunday
Our Song Lyric Sunday theme for this week is to post a song that has something to do with “nature”. It doesn’t necessarily have to be about nature, just as long as there is a word or phrase that mentions a form of nature in the song. John Denver, was an American musician, singer-songwriter, record producer, […]

Trail Time
I was finally able to take a walk along my favorite neighborhood trail today. The leaves here have really not started changing yet, I saw just a few smaller trees beginning to turn color. I did notice berries along the way and a hint of color here and there- blooming bushes not quite done blooming […]
