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

Day 52 – Some more experimentation in Photoshop with a photo I took at my mother-in-law’s house. She has so many beautiful birds that I hope to spend more time in her backyard when the weather gets warmer.

Day 50 – I am thankful that I got to spend this lovely day at the park with my two favorite people. I am also thankful that I got my camera out fast enough to catch this group of geese flying over the water.

Day 48 – Do birds know how cool it is to fly? I think they know exactly how cool it is.

Day 42 – A few years ago I took a group of students to our town’s free graffiti wall for a yearbook project. I went by there today to check it out. The wall continues to display expressions of all sorts. That’s why art is so important. We all so plugged in but what we really need is an outlet.

Day 41 – I love these tall grasses that grow near our house. And the blue sky was a special treat this afternoon after such a dreary morning.
