This year most of us will celebrate Earth Day at home. Since Mother Nature is gracing mid-Michigan with snow right now. I know I will be indoors most of the day.
But, I still plan to feed the birds, plant flowers when the weather is right, and do what I can to help the planet Earth.
What is your Earth Day pledge?
Even though the wind still holds the winter chill, the sun is shining brightly today. I am ecstatic to see the first signs of spring. Don’t get me wrong I am positive old man winter is not done with us. But, the early signs of spring always provides an extra mood lift.
The Sandhill Cranes have been voicing their return. Their deep throating rattle is music to my ears as they fly high above me.
The Canadian geese are very vocal down on the river flats. The snow is slowly melting away.
I see Robins searching for food in my yard. The Red-Winged Blackbirds are singing loudly. The slight warm-up brings good cheer to all creatures, not just humans.
Well, until next time…peace
We had a little snowfall yesterday. I spent most of the afternoon snapping pictures.
This pair of Cardinals made me laugh. I can almost hear them say, “Excuse me, your camera snapping is interrupting our dinner.”
Until next time…peace
Watching a beautiful sunrise is a benefit of being up early.
Happy Monday, everyone!
Until next time…peace
Beautiful day here in mid-Michigan. Today is the first official day of winter. The day will be short and the night long.
But for now, the sun is shining brightly. I cannot ask for a better day, especially for this time of year.
Happy Winter Solstice, my friends.
Until next time…peace
I bought this photo ball a while ago. I finally had time to use it tonight. I think I am going to like playing around with it.
Until next time…peace
Yes, I know it is not officially winter. But the mid-Michigan weather suggests otherwise. We have been experiencing frigid temperatures. Anyone who follows this blog knows I love sunsets (and sunrises). So I still think the caption is fitting.
Have a wonderful day.
How’s the weather in your area?
Until next…peace
The cooler nights turn into foggy mornings. This morning’s sunrise was met by the white mist flowing across the backfield.
I am enjoying these beautiful mornings. They will not last. Snow has already been mentioned in the upcoming forecast.
Until next time…peace
I did not know there was an entire day dedicated to raccoons. Don’t let those cute little faces fool you, raccoons are pesky little creatures.
To keep them from destroying my bird feeders, I actually have to grease the poles. I must look like a right fool out there greasing the poles to my bird feeders. But the silly process works.
How long have you been taking pictures? When I was 12, my grandfather gave me an old 126 film camera.
I thought I had the world. Compared to today’s cameras, the 126 is a dinosaur. But I still remember the feeling of setting up displays or photographing nature. Over the years, my photo skills have drastically improved. Bu my love for nature is still as strong as ever.
I wish he could see how my photography has changed over the years.
And, how a simple camera was the start of a lifetime adventure in photography.
Until next time…peace
