Happy National Wildlife Day! I love watching and photographing the wildlife.
I find nature peaceful and fascinating.
Have a great day everyone!
Do you like wildlife? What is your favorite animal to see in the wild?
Until next time…peace
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
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
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
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.
I hope you managed to get outdoors today.
Happy Earth Day! Let’s work together for the sake of our planet.
Until next time…peace
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

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.
Did you have a fun-filled Labor Day weekend? I stuck close to home. I worked on photos, writing, and housework. I know, an odd combination.
I did go for a ride. I came across these beautiful Turkey Vultures. The one kept opening his (or her) wings. I believe the bird was trying to soak up the sun.
I am fascinated with these birds. My mom use to love them. She said, they were so ugly, they were beautiful. Of course, I find everything in nature has a touch of beauty.
Well, have a good night.
Until next time…peace
Yes, I am one of those crazy people who loves photographing nature. I could spend hours photographing one insect, especially butterflies, wild animals, and everything in between. lol
Have a great day everyone!
Until next time…peace
At the end of June, the Canadian Wildfires pushed smoke downward through our area. One of the mornings had light fog as well. The result was an eerie effect on the mid-Michigan landscape. I took numerous photos, but I liked this one the best.
While the smoke/fog combination creates a thick layer, the Sandhill Cranes are grazing in a local field. I am both fascinated and heartbroken by the wildfire smoke reaching our area.
My curious side wants to know all about the effects of the Canadian wildfires on areas so far away. But the part of me that loves wildlife and nature weeps for the damage. Yet, I know Mother Earth will continue to heal and provide.
Until next time…peace
