Choosing a Path

It’s very simple in this case, I write the post based on what’s going on in my backyard or I don’t write at all.

What I have about birds I can photograph now I have covered many times, I don’t mind because I love birds but other people I imagine, expects me to write about and show pictures of all kinds of birds. Well, I did that for a long while but I also explained that I’m not traveling as I used to do before. I have more obligations and priorities. WE have our grandson Tyler to take to school, and all his events, music lessons, soccer, swimming and such.

For now we are limited to short trips only and they have to be with facilities etc. You can’t take a 2 year old kid to the swamps or marshes.

I figure that one more year he’ll be able to understand more about nature and get more entertained looking at birds or other animals. Very soon the fall weather will set in and we can easily take short trips and maybe longer ones without the crowds and bothersome heat and insects.

So, I’ll continue to post about what I can shoot in my backyard!

Thank you for understanding! 🙂

Red Dawn

Early in the morning I look out the window and I see red, pardon the pun but it’s true! What happens is that when I see my backyard is teeming with Northern Cardinals of all ages, gender and color shades!

There are so many of them now that they make me feel guilty when I see them finish all the seeds and still are looking for more, so I go to refill their feeders again and again! If they stay until next month and don’t decide to go into migration then it’s going to be a Red October, there I go again! Pardon the pun! I don’t mean the cold war situation, I mean that they will stay for the winter and I will be feeding a crowd and my bank account will go in the red! I’m sorry I didn’t mean that!

I’d better end my post before I screw up again! I’m embarrassed, I ‘m starting to fell my face turn red! … Aw! Stop it!
