Red Winged Blackbird
A Red winged Blackbird ushering October. His breeding colors are fading and soon it will be time to head for warmer climes but today he welcomes in the new month with a lovely morning song.
In Vern’s Yard
Todays post is a tribute Christy’s father Vern who passed away last week at 87 years of age. Vern was a thoughtful and humble man with a deep respect for nature. Vern’s worked ceaselessly to make his yard a welcoming and comfortable place for the animals which inhabited the foothills outside of Denver, CO. These photos taken in his yard seem a fitting tribute to a great man who said much with few words.
