Hairy Woodpecker
This sweet girl stopped by to enjoy some peanut suet on a chilly fall evening. So thrilled to see her!
Hungry Chickadee
This sweet Chickadee stopped by for dinner and was waiting patiently for a spot at the feeder. Such a blessing on a warm Idy evening.
Dragonfly
This beautiful little being stopped by to hunt for lunch. They stayed for quite awhile, darting up and back from their perch. What a nice surprise on a summer afternoon!
Mama Bluebird
Spring is such a magical time of year! Mama Bluebird and her mate stop by everyday, and it’s always such a blessing to see them. Wishing them a healthy, happy family this season.
Bees in Poppy
When April comes, I need to see poppies. So I headed for Wilson Valley Road. Nothing like the spectacular Super Bloom a couple of years ago, but there’s always something magical to be discovered in nature. I found a few poppies, and discovered this pair of bees when I downloaded the day’s photos. There’s hope for the future.
