Jeannine’s Cats on the Beach
As a photographer, I loved the contrast between the cats soft fur and the course beach rocks and sand.
Happy Dogs
You usually hear about “the dog days of August,” which stimulates images of pups sleeping in the shade on porches.
Baby Robins in Our Peach Tree
We have been enjoying watching three baby robins being raised by two very doting and squawky parents in the peach tree that is right out our kitchen window.
Heron Photos and Poem by Wendell Barry
I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
Egret Photos
Yesterday I was on the Long Island Sound early and saw about 30 egrets enjoying a feast of a breakfast.
New Poem: Obedience is a Good Thing
Then we can find what bliss really is and finally be at liberty to be our best…
Photos of Lightning Whelk Seed Cases
That such a little jelly-like creature makes both that shell and these seed cases, makes me feel awed.
Pelican Photos
When in Florida last month, I got quite close to some pelicans. They are fascinating, even prehistoric looking.
Ibis Photos
Ibis use their amazing beaks to snatch shellfish out of their shells with great efficiency.
Iguana Photos
In Sanibel, Florida, I took these photos of iguanas in the wild right behind our friend’s house…
Baby Chicks in Black and White
These chicks were less than a day old when I saw them yesterday– some of them were so new they were still wet.
In the Presence of Swans
I had never seen so many swans in one place before, and I wished for my zoom lens, which I had not brought on a painting expedition.
Caribou Photos
We saw caribou on three separate occasions in Jasper, every time quite close up. Their heads seemed strangely out of proportion to their bodies. The coloring of some are different from the others, so much so for a while we thought they were a different kind of animal altogether.
