Welcome to My Blog
This blog is where I’ll share with you what I’m seeing in our yard, around our small lake, and when we travel—anything related to birds, wildlife, and plants. And also occasionally share with you what philosophical question is on my mind while I am outside watching the clouds drift by. Or if something strikes me as really funny!
I’d love to hear from you as well – what you are observing and thinking. Whether you have an observation or photo to share or have a question, please click on the button “Share Your Thoughts”.
I don’t follow a strict blogging schedule, but I generally post every 7-10 days—sometimes more often. Let’s enjoy nature together!

Birdbath Cam is closed
Our nighttime temperatures are now in the 30’s and so it is time for the large birdbath to be emptied, dried, and covered for the winter. Its camera has now been turned off. The live-stream will begin again next spring – probably in late April. It will depend when the birds return from their winter […]
