Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Friday, January 10 We woke up to a beautiful, gray, snowy day last Friday. The blue jays and cardinals looked pretty with their blues and reds against the winter white. A wren joined them at the feeder. I caught this male downy woodpecker in flight – on its way to the suet. A red-bellied woodpecker […]
and every wild creature is in my care. Psalm 50:11 (Contemporary English Version)
The sky was brilliantly orange on Thursday morning, January 9. The sun looked like a big yellow torch as it came over the eastern horizon. This dark-eyed junco kept an eye on me at I watched it eat breakfast. The evening sky was also a brilliant orange. I think God must have an invisible paintbrush.
Tuesday & Wednesday, January 7 & 8 We came home from Maine to more cold weather – some of the lowest temperatures this area of Pennsylvania has seen in years. You can’t take pictures of cold, but the steam from this manure spreader in the field in front of us looked so cold in the setting […]
Today was a wet, dreary, winter day – wonderful for staying inside and taking pictures of birds. This feeder was fairly popular because it is under the roof of our house. Yesterday the bird bath had ice in it. Mrs. Cardinal was out and about in the rain. Mr. Cardinal followed her to the bird feeder and […]
We are surprised to still see skunks under our bird feeders at night. I thought they would be hibernating by now. I love fall and winter sunrises because the sun comes up right outside our living room window. The birds are also busy this time of year. The Carolina Wren likes seeds and suet. The male […]
I thought it may take a few days for the birds to realize that I had filled their feeders, after several weeks of them being empty. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I looked out the window and saw lots of birds – goldfinches and house finches. Red-breasted nuthatch Dark-eyed Junco Carolina Wren Hairy Woodpecker […]
Today, for the first time in a long time I didn’t have any back photos – nothing for tonight’s blog. So, on the way home from taking TFC’s December prayer calendar to the post office, I decided to photograph full bird feeders. 🙂 How exciting is that. I am hoping that it will be good news […]
I am not sure how to connect these pictures of pumpkins and birds, but these are what I have left over after going through and posting my pictures from the first week of October. ~~~ The Pumpkins I took this picture at a place of business just because I thought it was an attractive fall decoration. ~~~ The Birds Male […]
I was glad that I had my camera along last evening when we went to visit Cerwin’s mother. There was a Great Egret on the edge of the pond at my brothers’ farm. (At least I think it is a Great Egret by photos on Wikipedia). They are beautiful to watch. This morning we had a […]
I planned to take several photos at the Hershey Reunion on Sunday, but forgot about it until most of the people had gone home. It was supposed to be held in the pavilion in our wood lot, but due to the uncertain weather at noon, we set up tables in our garage, kitchen, and […]
Blue Jays Female Cardinal Male Cardinal Carolina Wren This was funny to watch. Apparently another bird began building a nest in this birdhouse – and this wren thought it was his house. He was throwing stuff out as fast as he could. You may wonder why this house has two entry/exit holes. It’s because a woodpecker made the […]
