Blooming Day!
Signs of Spring!
The Western Bluebirds are back for the season! Hoping they choose my nest box.
Happy Robin
On a lovely bird walk with Robin Roberts, we came upon this happy American Robin singing his beautiful spring song.
Hairy Woodpecker
Sweet girl stopping by some peanut suet on a chilly fall evening. So happy that she stopped by!
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
A dragonfly out hunting for their lunch on a summer afternoon. Such a beautiful being!
Rain Comes to the Mountain!
Every drop is precious. The Wild Things are rejoicing.
Mama Bluebird
Spring is always a magical time of year. Mama Bluebird and her mate visit everyday, and I am so blessed. Wishing them a healthy, happy family this season.
Bees in Poppy
The poppies are not blooming in Idyllwild, but nearby I discovered this beautiful poppy hosting a pair of bees doing what bees do in the spring – creating new life. There is hope for the future.
