Happy First Day of Fall

Posted on by Rebecca C.

The fall season is officially here! This is my favorite time of year.

The leaves are just beginning to change. I cannot wait to see all the beautiful colors.

Even though, Michigan is seeing above average temps, I love the cooler fall weather.

The migrating birds are spending a lot of time feasting before heading south.

Do you like fall? What is your favorite part?

Until next time…peace

National Wildlife Day

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Happy National Wildlife Day! I love watching and photographing the wildlife.

I am a firm believer…when these beautiful birds start to gather…summer is over.

I find nature peaceful and fascinating.

Ospreys are one of my favorite birds of prey to photograph.

Have a great day everyone!

Do you like wildlife? What is your favorite animal to see in the wild?

Soulful Eyes

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I photographed this beautiful creature from a distance. She was just so still. I don’t know if she was ill or hurt. Or maybe she was just having a rest. But she just stared at me.

I wanted to walk up to her. But she was on private property. I didn’t dare cross over.

Until next time…peace

Baby Osprey

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Happy July! I can’t believe it is July already! This year is moving by so fast.

I spent a little time photographing the Osprey this last weekend. I know this isn’t the best photo, but if you look closely at the female Osprey. (She’s the one looking upward). You can see the baby right under her. I only saw one this year. Last year, there were two. And, yes, the male kept staring at me the whole time.

When I photograph this pair of Osprey, I am very far away. I use a large lens to capture the photo. I only stay a few minutes then I leave. I do not want to bother them. Because I want them to keep coming back.

Until next time…peace

Baby Wild Turkey

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Over the weekend, I photographed this little wild turkey. I just love the mama turkey was in the background.

I anciently came across the little ones when I was driving home. I seen two run across the road. I admit, at first, I didn’t recognize the type of bird. But once I stopped my car to photograph them. I could hear the mama turkey calling her little ones. If I wasn’t in the middle of the road, I would have stayed longer.

But, I was happy, I had my camera equipment with me.

Until next time…peace

Happy Earth Day

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Did you celebrate Earth Day? I was happy to spend time outdoors. I cleaned up the yard a little, took some photos, and planned where to put my flower gardens.

If you look closely, you can see the fish on tip of the pole. This Osprey was enjoying his meal.
The Vultures were snacking on roadkill. I got really close to them before they decided to move along. I laugh every time I see these birds. My mom loved them.

I hope you managed to get outdoors today.

Have you ever watch a Cormorant dive?

Happy Earth Day! Let’s work together for the sake of our planet.

Until next time…peace

Welcome 2025!

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Happy New Year! Our first day of 2025 has been cold and a little snowy here in Mid-Michigan. On my way into town this morning, I snapped some photos. Of course, I didn’t have the right lens with me. But I still managed. We had Canadian Geese down at the Maple River.

And, then I had a flock of Turkeys fly right in front of my vehicle. I am glad I was on a back road and going slow.

Thank you for following this blog. I have been busy purchasing estate lots. I cannot wait to share some of my findings with you. I just need to organize them first.

Take care!

Until next time…peace

Happy October

Posted on by Rebecca C.

The spooky season is officially here. I love October. The cooler weather and changing leaves are perfect for photography.

I was out photographing spiderwebs in the fog. Yes, I know, I’m a little odd. I found the spiderwebs beautiful.

I took this photo down at the wildlife area. To me, the dew-covered spiderwebs look like Mother Nature is decorating for Halloween early.

I hope everyone has a fantastic month.

Until next time…peace.

Juvenile Bald Eagle

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I photographed this majestic bird the other day. He (I think) was down at the Maple River (mid-Michigan area). I bet I took over 400 pictures of him. Yes, I was far away. I used my long lens. I didn’t want to disturb him too much. Even though, I know he could see me.

Based on his feather pattern, I believe, he is about 1 1/2 years old. He was a spectacular sight. I hope I see him in the area again.

Have a great day!

Until next time…peace.
