Last Years Cat

Last seasons Cattail.

This seasons replacements.

Sayornis phoebe

Eastern Phoebe

forages mainly for small flying insects.

Not sure where this little fellow

is finding anything to eat this in the spring?

Flood or Famine?

State of emergency

Flooding. major rains!

thankfully I live on top of a hill!

Pussy Willow

I know a little pussy,

Her coat is silver grey,

She lives down in the meadow,

not very far away.

Although she is a pussy,

she'll never be a cat,

for she is a pussy willow.

Now what do you think of that?

A Vision Upon My Art

"When words become unclear,

I shall focus with photographs.

 When images become inadequate,

I shall be content with silence."

~ Ansel Adams

Charlie Brown's Crocus

"Each flower is a soul opening

out to nature."

~Gerard De Nerval
