This photo was taken a couple of days after our last big snow fall. The snow was melting, and the streams, creeks and rivers were full. This water has made it’s way to the Great Miami River, and will make it’s way to the Ohio River, Mississippi and the Golf. Life is one continuous circle. 

We are on west coast time .. or will be later today. We spent the night in Salt Lake and plan to visit family before heading West.

The restless sparrow

This American Tree Sparrow caught my attention, and ultimately the attention of my camera. I captured this photo a few months ago, but it’s timeless. When I was young, I was captivated by sparrows. They were so fast, and never seemed to pause long ... just the restless sparrow.

Blue Jay

This one has been a long time coming. I have taken a few photos of blue jays over the years, but I have struggled to get a good shot. I could hear him long before I was able to locate him. He was straight over my head, way up in this tree. I had to step back to get an angle The 1st shot was his back side.... not what I was looking for. Lucky for me, he jumped to the right and gave me this profile. I was able to get this shot. There is a twig in the way, but it’s not bad. I did see another cardinal or two, and managed a few photos of them as well.

We will be in Yosemite soon. I hope post some grant photos from there. Have a beautiful weekend.

Sometimes the simple makes for the best photos. Spring is in the air, literally. It’s allergy time for many, but nature provides some amazing photography momonets.

I love this photo.

Hey nuthatch!

FullSizeRender.jpg

Every now and then, I have one of those special days when I see a bird or some other wildlife that I have not previously photographed. Every time this happens, I get super excited. That happened this past week. This is a white-breasted nuthatch. I could be wrong, so let me know if you know better. 

I really enjoyed watching her go up and down the tree limbs, searching for insects. She was so intentional about her search. She finally stopped long enough for me to capture this photo. Beautiful!
