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 Robins

Can spring be far behind?  On Friday, February 4th, I seen two huge flocks of robins.  I captured this one sitting in a tree.  They are about three weeks early to our area.  I am wondering will it be an early spring, or perhaps the blizzard storm coming from the south brought them up here early?  Perhaps they decided to have an easy migration and ride the winds?

We are expecting high temperatures of 7-9 degrees this week.  Hope they can survive that and waiting for the 20+ inches of snow to melt to find enough food.  I did see them eating berries in the woods, so they are getting some food.

Keep your eyes open for them.  I have seen at least ten birds a day in various locations since then.  Just this morning I seen a large flock of over 40 birds in the trees in my yard. 

Wish for warmer weather for them and us too!
