I have enjoyed nature and it's beauty for as long as I can remember. Photographing it to share is a new hobby. I still have much to learn. Any helpful hints and constructive criticism is always welcome.


I will try to post new items weekly so check back. It is my pleasure to share nature's gifts with you. I find myself amazed at some of the beauty I find while out for a walk.

First Warbler of the Spring

I was happy to find my first Warbler of the spring today.  He is a Yellow-rumped Warbler.  You cannot see it in either one of these shots, but he also has a bright yellow patch just above his tail, hence the yellow-rumped name.  A faint yellow spot can also be found on top of his head.  He was busy finding insects on the leaves and branches.

He is just passing through the midwest on his way north  and west to the Rockies for breeding season.  We will see him again in the fall on his trip south.
