I woke up the other day to find this little blue visitor sitting out on our screened porch. The door to the porch has been open lately and she seemed to be having a little trouble finding her way back out through it. After snapping a few photos with the zoom lens I kindly coaxed [...]

A black capped chickadee sits atop his home on a cold winter afternoon. Took this with the big Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 II IS lens I’m borrowing and I am so impressed with the sharpness and accuracy of this glass. If you like this photo, please click Like or Share below to help promote my [...]
Almost forgot to put the chickens to bed the other night, and almost forgot to take the daily photo too. Took care of both late this night.
Our son really likes to pet and hold the chickens whenever it’s our turn to close up the coop. I clean and refill the water, Mom and the girl collect the eggs, and the boys pet the birds and try to hold them. The oldest boy is getting quite good at it. These white ones [...]
This is more sharing than it is any kind of art, at least from where I’m standing. Some time ago another flickrite contacted about using a photo I had taken of a turkey vulture in a book he was authoring. His book would be of poems and stories that he had written, each accompanied by [...]
All three kids helped me with the closing at the chicken co-op this night. Well, helping is a relative term… they mostly pet the birds and look for eggs while I clean and refill the water pail. While this isn’t the greatest photo I’ve taken of the birds I do like the fact that the [...]
The chickens for our egg co-op recently moved into their new home. When we started with the co-op I don’t think many of us realized that we would be building the co-op from ground up, which meant no only getting chicks, but also building a chicken coop from scratch. Now that we have everything in [...]
It rained for a few days last week. This chickadee weathered the storm by hanging out in the bird feeder that our son made in school. It looks like some of the web bird seed has stuck to the poor bird’s beak. He hung out there pretty much the whole day and didn’t seem to [...]
A lone loon moves through the early morning fog on Sebec Lake. I took this around 6am one morning, before the coffee was even brewing. I had spotted the bird through the window and quickly got out my zoom lens and went out to the dock to shoot. I love that the fog is still [...]
While we were eating inner inside, this heron was fishing for his dinner outside. I spotted him out the window and managed to get outside with the camera before he wandered too far up the river. I had the 18-55mm lens on at the time and couldn’t pull in any closer than this but I [...]
