Good Night Heron

On April 30, 2015 By Mike and Christy26 Comments

Flying off into the sunset we say good night to a Black Crowned Night Heron. Not a bad way to end the day. Photographed with an older, forgotten and long gone, point and shoot camera on an evening walk in Ferndale CA. a few years back.

Land in Sky

Sometimes it takes an uncluttered landscape to see that land and sky are one.

Northern New Mexico. Photographed with a Yashica A-TLR and Kodak Tmax 100iso film.

Wood Thrush

For me the Wood Thrush is a bird I may often hear but seldom seem. Hanging out in those forests deep with green and hidden out of sight they have such a wonderful song. After listening to his song for several minutes this Wood Thrush flew out and landed on a post in a clearing for a minute or two before retuning back into the woods. Love the pudgy belly on this one.

A look only a mule can give…although I kinda feel this is how I might be looking back at people some days as well.

Farewell Good Friend

On April 9, 2015April 9, 2015 By Mike and Christy23 Comments

Winter is Still Hanging on.

Not physically, as the tulips are in bloom and windows in the house open during the days, but in my mind.

Each year as winter leaves I look back and desire one more ski through the forest or down a powder filled slope.

Yes, it is hard to say goodbye to a good friend but I can rest assured we will meet again.

Common Yellowthroat

A common Yellowthroat hiding in the reeds. This guys was darting around from cattail to cattail for what seemed like eternity but finally held still for just a moment to allow us to take his portrait and get a good look. It is always tons of fun to be able to observe an bird not familiar to you. A little surprise that makes the day distinct.
