Birding: Purple Finch/Chickadee crosstown traffic

The purple finch and goldfinch at the feeder weren't concerned by the chickadee's attempts to get some seeds. Poor lil' guy.

For the win!

Shot last week at the regional track and field competition in Lunenburg. I was there cheering on my alma mater, the fightin' orange and brown!

Actually, I wasn't cheering the racers.....I was the creepy hutterite looking dude, practicing my action shots.

Drizmal Lahave

My eye was drawn to the 'atmospheric perspective' looking up the river. A thousand shades of May, I mean grey.

Ma ma ma myyyyy magnolia!

Another flower I wish I could eat, they look so delectable...

Birding: Purple Finch

I love spotting goldfinches and purple finches at the feeder! I hope I can snap a shot of the gorgeous ring necked pheasant that has been hanging around the yard...

Grrrrrrrape Hyacinth!

They smell so delicious, if only I could eat them....
