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

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!

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

Juvenile Bald Eagle

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.

Just Peeking

Posted on by Rebecca C.

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

Happy Nature Day

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.
