Foto-Friday: The End of the Rainbow

I could tell all the way home that the "pot of gold" was at the farm. But I was without camera (of course) so I jump from the car upon arrival and rush out to catch the last fading shades while another storm was brewing behind it.

Cardinals and Blue Jay-Good News Wednesday

The male Cardinal was pretty elusive because he seems to like it best when he rules. When the Jays come in they cause an instant "sweep" usually of all the little fellas at the feeders. Also the Jays will literally march right up to get the cat's food.

A bird does not sing because he has an answer. He sings because he has a song.- Joan Walsh Anglund, A Cup of Sun, 1967

Bluebirds have taught me a few things. First, the more you think you know, the more you have to learn. Second, never say never because they will fool you every time! Third, they have taught me to stop sweating details in my life and learn to enjoy the simple things.

Weekend Exposure - Decorative Grass...

This time of year, between autumn leaving and snow falling, the beauty of the seasons has turned to that drab gray with some sunny days.  The grass that I planted several years ago has finally come into it's time of beauty so I've played with some shots of them.
