for the ice to melt ... (Or shall I say impatiently waiting)? lol

Not all of our ponds or lakes have melted yet, but the days are warming and spring's definitely on the way.

Thank you for viewing and for leaving me a comment! Have a wonderful day!

This chickadee had its eye on a snag that had several potential nesting cavities. Then, another chickadee flew into one of the cavities which made me wonder if they were building a nest. I stayed for a moment to see what would happen, but neither chickdee moved. Not wanting to disturb them, I took off. I returned a few days later, but I didn't see them.

Thank you for viewing and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day and week!

During August and September, we observed 4 juvenile Piping Plovers in the same general area of the beach. They were usually in the tire tracks or up in the dunes on the dry sand. Nice images but I prefer my shorebirds in the surf or on the wet sand. It was late in the afternoon with about 90 minutes of light left when we came upon our 4 friends. Were where they? In the tire tracks of course. We had to make a decision. Do we wait and hope that the birds move to the water or continue on our way and hope to find something else to work with. We decided to give them 15 minutes. Boy am I glad we waited. They did indeed head to the water and were outrageously cooperative. They made up for all the hours we patiently waited over the summer. We took tons of images but this was my favorite.

Come on taste me as I am

You will see my hole

Come on take me as I am

I will take you

I am the feelings that I feel

The darkness in my hands is bound

To the fate which I’ve been chosen for

To keep it all inside

I waited patiently (10-15 minutes) for the Great Egret to walk / jump / fly onto the back of the American Alligator, but it didn’t happen. Would have made a great picture. Wildlife photography does teach patience. Riverstone Wetlands, Sugar Land, Texas.

After 2 landscapes posted, I think we all agree it's time to also have a cat picture :)

We call this glitter. It's a nice way of saying freezing rain. A pretty name to soften the blow maybe? Who needs spring anyways!?

This is day two of glitter and I'm patiently waiting for the sun. Nothing is quite as wonderful as sun-shiny, sparkly ice. The wait continues....the sun has to come out eventually, right?

I had 15 that eclosed today... sadly one had to be euthanized... but still waiting for this one to enter the world! I spritzed it with water hoping this would help, but so far, still closed up tightly... which is very strange....

Fingers crossed this one is healthy.... bringing my total to date to: 447

I was watching them fishing as a break from a bike ride. They were fishing for food but did not catch anything while I was watching.

I've put out the bird feeders underneath my backporch awning. It's been very busy with the birds coming and going with the colder weather now. Today I was able to get a photo of a White-breasted Nuthatch waiting patiently and sitting on a lilac branch right outside my window.

Hopefully I will be able to get more photos of the birds that frequent my feeders.

Few of the filters I used are from Photoshop 2025.

Thanks for your views, comments, awards, invites and faves.

I have a jar of these beautiful star anise in my spice cupboard that also have the most glorious scent. Unfortunately, I never seem to need them for recipes, so this one is patiently waiting for the day when it can shine.

Perché aspetti con impazienza le cose? Se sono inutili per la tua vita, inutile è anche aspettarle. Se sono necessarie, loro verranno e verranno nel momento giusto.

Why do you wait impatiently for things? If they are useless for your life, it is useless to wait for them too. If they are necessary, they will come and come at the right time.

Where are you spring ??

This beautiful Barred Owl waits patiently along the railroad tracks nearby my home. They know where the mice and voles love to hang out.

...for my baby to get home. ♥

So I made this while waiting to smother her in pent up affection.

"If you be the cash,

I'll be the rubber band

You be the match,

I will be a fuse, boom

Painter baby, you could be the muse

I'm the reporter baby, you could be the news

'Cause you're the cigarette and I'm the smoker

We raise a bet, cause you're the joker

Checked off, you are the chalk

And I can be the blackboard

You could be the talk

And I could be the walk

Even when the sky comes falling

Even when the sun don't shine

I got faith in you and I..."
