Day 83 – There is a wonderful pond at the college near our home. The swans that live there have their own house and fenced yard to winter in. They are diligent house keepers constantly clearing the path and discouraging curious, young geese from visiting too often.  With a stern look like that who would want to mess with him?

Day 59 – I realize that I posted a picture of a house finch in the bushes before. But this little lady surprised me this morning when I pulled up. She stayed just long enough for me to grab my camera and get a shot. Let’s see if her and the gang are there when I put up the Christmas lights. I’ll make it up to her by filling the feeder out back.

Day 57 – “It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men’s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanates from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.’ – Robert Louis Stevenson
