Not a great picture as it was...

I don't take beautiful pictures,. I take pictures of beautiful things. Tuesday, August 19, 2014. The additional material arrived so I've been working on my One Block Wonder - with a twist. The material is very beachy (Tropical Vacation) so it will go on the guest bed in Ocala. At least that's the plan - always subject to change. Labels: One block Wonder. Monday, August 11, 2014. Center outside 10" X 20" (2 pieces). Top outside 3" X 20" (2 pieces). Bottom outside 8" X 20" (2 pieces). The stitching will sh...

I don't take beautiful pictures,. I take pictures of beautiful things. Sunday, May 31, 2015. Birds of the Plains. Bill and I headed east to find another RC car track. We didn't have any luck with the track so we detoured onto some side roads to see what we could see. We drove right past this Scaled Quail perched on a fence post and Bill had to back up so I could get a picture. Another lark and another beautiful singer - a Western Meadowlark with what looks like lunch in his mouth. Check out those ears!

I don't take beautiful pictures,. I take pictures of beautiful things. Wednesday, April 23, 2014. Our Last Week in Florida. I sure am going to miss these cute little guys when we leave later this week to return to Colorado! Birding has been good the last week as the summer birds return. These are the first Eastern Kingbirds I've ever seen in the back. We see them everyday now. Eastern Kingbird sitting atop a thistle and hiding behind the growing wildflowers and weeds. They were pretty far out in the back.

The Mountain Chickadees delight us all summer long. Happy little birds! Every year we hope the Western Tanagers will stay around, but they don't. I'm happy to have so many for the couple of weeks they stay. This was a special treat - a Black-chinned Hummingbird. Lousy picture, but look at that beautiful neck. I can't help it - we love the Western Tana...

I don't take beautiful pictures,. I take pictures of beautiful things. Saturday, November 9, 2013. Bright and early this morning - just after sunrise - the two coyotes crossed over our backyard again. I was so excited to see and photograph the coyotes that I almost missed what was right in front of me! This beautiful Coopers Hawk was sitting on the bird feeders about 15 feet from where I was standing (inside our partially completed lanai). Thursday, November 7, 2013. This is the One-block Wonder I just c...
