Friends and Seasonal Change

Photographer — Sat, 10 Jun 2017 04:59:49 +0000

Whether you believe in Climate Change or not (personally I have no doubt of its reality), it is pretty clear to anyone paying attention that recent weather patterns are definitely NOT par for the course. The seasons of late seem much less well-defined. I grew up in New England, which has always had the reputation of unstable weather, but at least we could tell what season we were in. These days it is winter one day and summer the next.

Because of this, and my own distemper of late, I am much less in touch with nature than I usually am, which reflects in my willingness to take PHOTOS of it. I have not been compelled to go on regular outings with my camera, as usually happens at this time of year. But that does not mean I have not taken ANY pictures. Here is a fairly random collection of recent photos I HAVE taken to welcome the seeming coming of summer.

Avian friends …

Floral friends …

Seasonal neighbors

Photographer — Tue, 02 May 2017 22:45:24 +0000

Our house is part of a cluster housing condo community. Unlike the other houses we are set back a little (as can be seen in the many pictures I take around the house). That, combined with the constant supply of food provided by the house’s nature loving occupants, ensures we have quite a bit of wildlife visiting us. We have a family of robins who love to hang in the tree right outside our kitchen bay window. Sometimes I can almost get a view of the nest. Here are a quick couple of photos of mamma robin doing her thang. I might try for some better shots at some point, but I don’t want to disturb them too much. As can be seen in the photos, she was well aware of me being there.
