Yesterday we had our first warm day in what seems like forever. Temps "soared" to almost 50F/10C so even though it was cloudy out, I decided to take advantage of the warmth and take a walk out into the woods behind our house to get some different shots for today's Tree Love post. However, I... Continue Reading →
Trees Between Snowy Weather for @parul2411’s #ThursdayTreeLove
We got spoiled by a mostly snow-free winter up until a few weeks ago, but it seems Mother Nature's grace period is over. We've had a least three significant snowfalls in the past couple of weeks (including for my last Thursday Tree Love post), and it looks like we're in for more, starting on Valentine's...

Moon Monday – Night after the Full Wolf Moon, part 1
Happy Moon Monday! Last week I mentioned that while I wasn't able to get a ton of photos of the full moon on January 28th, I did get back outside the following night and managed a goodly amount of shots (almost seventy), despite the freezing cold temps and my persnickety camera battery. To make sorting... Continue Reading →
Moon Monday – Full Wolf Moon on January 28th 2021
Happy Moon Monday! As I mentioned on Twitter a few days ago, the night of the full moon was bitter cold and wicked cloudy. Added to that bit of loveliness was the ongoing issue with my camera battery dying after about a dozen shots, which meant I'd go outside and snap until my Nikon declared... Continue Reading →
Trees During Snowy Weather for @parul2411’s #ThursdayTreeLove
As I mentioned in my last Thursday Tree Love post, my camera (or should I say, my camera's battery) has been a bit cranky as of late. And the light bit of snow that starting falling last night has been steadily drifting down all day, which given the fact I don't have one of those... Continue Reading →
The Feathered Friends Show Me A Photo Contest, Round 3 – Two Birds
When I saw the contest announcement for the latest round in the Feathered Friends "Show Me A Photo" contest, I knew immediately what photo I wanted to enter for the theme of Two Birds. But just to be sure, I decided to scan my hard drive for other pairs of birds, as I knew I... Continue Reading →
Zazzle greeting cards featuring my feathered friends for my mother
I'm putting together some Zazzle greeting cards featuring my feathered friends for my mother and thought I'd share it as a post, so she has a chance to approve the order before I send it in. It seemed rather fitting, since my last feathered friends post was the reason she wanted to order more cards... Continue Reading →
The Woods Behind our House for @parul2411’s #ThursdayTreeLove
Today is yet another cloudy, cold (but above freezing, so yay!) day here in New Hampshire, and everything outside, including the woods behind our house, just looks... meh. Knowing that I wouldn't be able to take pictures of snow dusted trees, snow covered trees (and the time for fall foliage is long past...lol), I thought... Continue Reading →
Mostly #WordlessWednesday – Birds at my Feeder
It was at some point in late November/early December I decided to put my bird feeders out by our bedroom window again. I had quite the Avian Eatery going for a couple of years around 2017, but with all of my health stuff, combined with issues concerning our rental home (the septic specifically has had...

Snowy Solstice Trees for @parul2411’s #ThursdayTreeLove
On December 17th, we got hit with our first significant snow of the winter season (although technically it was still fall). While we didn't get nearly as much as some other areas (Danbury New Hampshire had 48 inches!) we still had a good foot of snow here. While I did get out on the 18th... Continue Reading →
Good Morning Sun, Good Morning Moon
Happy Moon Monday! As I mentioned in my last Moon Monday post, in the early morning hours of December 2nd, I noticed the moon (which had been full two nights before) was still visible above the trees. I was able to get outside and grab a few dozen shots, not only of La Luna, but... Continue Reading →
Snow dusted trees for @parul2411’s #ThursdayTreeLove
Last Saturday into Sunday, we had a Nor'easter move through our area. While it was weaker than predicted, and the rain-snow-rain-snow mix only dropped behind two inches of snow instead of the eight to ten predicted, it still left a chilly mark on the trees that's lasted through to today! So for today's Thursday Tree... Continue Reading →
