This week Terri asks, MACRO OR CLOSE-UP PHOTOGRAPHY; IS THERE A DIFFERENCE? and tells us, Macro photography is also considered close-up photography. However, using a true macro lens yields the sharpest, tiniest details whereas a closeup may not show each detail. However, If the subject you are photographing is small and you want to make it look big, […]

NUTHATCH! White-breasted Nuthatches are active, agile little birds with an appetite for insects and large, meaty seeds. They get their common name from their habit of jamming large nuts and acorns into tree bark, then whacking them with their sharp bill to “hatch” out the seed from the inside. They forage for insects hidden in […]
Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Birds
I have chosen birds that are not colorful, as I couldn’t bring myself to turn the colorful ones into black and white. Even though the Titmouse and Solitary Sandpiper are gray and white and a brownish and white color, they are still beautiful in their own right, in my opinion. Titmouse Solitary Sandpiper Birds

Without fail each and every time I walk down one of the main paths towards the main house on the property, I am greeted by the resident Mockingbird. He stands atop a tree sometimes, then swoops down […]

Out On A Limb
I took a walk today after school to clear my head- spending the day from 8 to 5 in an elementary school surrounded by 1st and 2nd graders leaves one longing for peace and quiet by day’s end. I headed to my favorite pond where the first thing I saw was this: Oh hello there… […]

I usually carry very little cash on me, but when I do I keep bills of the same denomination together and in sequential order. Are you comfortable doing nothing? For long stretches of time? I am pretty comfortable doing nothing, […]

If a distant uncle dies and you were always his favorite and leaves you $50,000 (any currency) in his will, what would you do? Funny, a very distant relative of my husband’s died years ago, he was related to my husband’s great grandmother’s son, leaving no wife or children and somehow we were named along […]
