Female Downy Woodpecker
Yesterday I moved a suet feeder close to our kitchen window so I can get close-up woodpecker pictures. It worked! I never tire of watching them.

Female Finch
Before I started watching and photographing our birds, I used to think these were ordinary birds. They aren’t as colorful as some, but I love their feather pattern. Then God said, “Let the water be filled with living things. And let birds fly in the air above the earth.” So God created great sea animals, […]
Anthony
Oh what fun to keep our great-grandson for four days last week while his parents ministered to others at a conference. Some pictures from our week… On day one we spent time in the office, so we had envelopes for the mailbox. Since we already had our coats on, we filled a few birdfeeders. He makes me smile. Putting […]

A Day at Home
