Okay, it's not actually within our backyard, but it's just beyond it. The yard behind our house borders a large park that is just being developed. The park was recently seeded, and the straw was put down as mulch. I took this shot while standing on our backyard deck. I think these Sandhill Cranes must have been eating the grass seed.
I know that there's not a lot going on in this image. But I rather like the repetitive poses of the birds, and I thought it was kind of cool that I could get this shot without leaving home, so I decided to go with it. The abundance of Sandhill Cranes in the area near our new home in Michigan has been one of the pleasant surprises of living here.
ALTHOUGH it is rather nondescript the corn bunting does have a distinctive song. It dangles it legs when flying short distances, and just look at its nails, they are very approachable with extreme care, I love seeing them at the Ancient Highway Sandwich Kent.

It is said that the American Avocet brings elegance in the bird world to a new level. This image taken in the mangroves of the Ten Thousand Islands in SW Florida highlights this.
it is exactitude in art or the complement of art :-)

It is naptime for me now and grumpy face has come to get me. Cammy always looks so mad, but he is the most affectionate cat (besides Patches) I have ever had. Cammy reminds me of a dog. He plays fetch. He waits for me, greets me at the door.

I stayed with the fog for one more image ..;) I do like the way it came out. Simple and relaxing.
Happy Sunday. Hope everyone in the Northeast is doing alright with that nasty weather. I saw a few pictures posted on Flickr. It looks really ugly

Normalerweise ist die Landschaft da nach den Hügeln noch nicht zu Ende... Und nach den ersten Windböen, die Dich ohne Vorwarnung fast von den Füßen reißen, fühlst Du Dich plötzlich ganz furchtbar klein und unwichtig...!
It's just a normal pelican, nothing special, but I was so happy to finally be able to go to the zoo again.

Es ist nur ein normaler Pelikan, nichts besonderes, aber ich war so glücklich, endlich wieder mal in den Zoo gehen zu können.
Herring Gull at Girvan Harbour, yesterday.
I had the feeling that she expected to be fed...And she was being shadowed by her yearling , so must still be feeding the youngster. After a few minutes of strutting around, yapping, she eventually let out the iconic gull “rammy”. I was sorry I didn’t have any dead fish on me. 😄

Shout,
Let it all out;
These are the things I can do without,
Come on!
I’m talking to you,
Come on.’

(WiFi has been mostly off for the past four/five days. Two very assertive phone calls, yesterday, seem to have helped, a little. Trying to catch up with all of your wonderful photos...)

It was a bluebird sky when we left for Squamish the other day, but I was happy to see this large cloud over the mountain to add some interest to the sky. This is the Squamish estuary - the tide was the lowest I've ever seen it.
Another few weeks and there will be a lot more green here - right now it's still kind of wintery looking.

The colors were at its best!

The severe angle of this tree, and the evidence of complete surgery of all of its limbs, was not enough to destroy its ability to survive. Fresh branches have sprouted...I hope it makes it.
Ironically, this tree survives at a "ghost town" , Glen Haven, Michigan.
Yes, I love Carly Simon. Ricketts Glenn, Pa. I had to wade in this stream, and those rocks were slippery. But, it was refreshing. Look no further than a short trip if you live near NYC.
It is cold, bitter cold and the icy cold cutting wind penetrates to the bone......
It is quiet, very quiet and the only thing you hear now and then is the creack of the ice that forms an even thicker layer....
Geese are flying over the lake, looking for a shelter for the night and perhaps they have hardly found food in this iciness...
