Happy National Wildlife Day! I love watching and photographing the wildlife.
I find nature peaceful and fascinating.
Have a great day everyone!

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
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
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.
I took a backroad home from town. I was driving slowly. I knew I had seen something in the ditch. So, I stopped my car to look. My dad was with me. We kept searching but didn’t see anything at first.
Then, this crane’s head popped up just above the ditch line. I think he was telling me, “Yes, you saw me, now go on your way.” He did not seemed bothered by our presence. Other than the fact, that we were disturbing his food search.
Until next time…peace
Today is Nature Day. I find peace in nature. The fact they are designating an entire day to nature is amazing. I hope others find nature as soothing as I do.
I could spend hours watching and photographing all types of nature. Every aspect of nature intrigues me.
Do you have a favorite spot to watch nature? Let me know.
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
Today, May 23rd is World Turtle Day. I love watching the turtles soaking up the sun.
When I spot them on the logs, I can’t help but smile. Often I see all different sizes on one log or swimming in shallow ponds.
Some I just spot in the grass.
Each turtle is a little different. I think that is why I love them so much.
Happy World Turtle Day!
Until next time…peace
As many of you know, today, March 20, 2023 is the first day of spring. But, today is also World Frog Day.
I love frogs. I mean they eat bugs. But I also love listening to them late at night. Of course, right now in mid-Michigan we are still experiencing cold, snowy weather. Today, the wind is making everything feel extra cold.
Hopefully, soon I can open up the windows to listen to the frogs singing all night.
Until next time… peace
