Camera Critters Sunday

This one is from the archives.....spent too much time taking pictures of fireworks and flags the last few days! Fly on over to Misty Dawn's for more Camera Critters!

Thank you, Misty, for featuring my spot on Roger's Wildlife Rehab Center!

Sky Watch Friday

I was taking a series of photos the other day to stitch together for a banner for this page....scroll down to the bottom of this page to see it.....and had no idea that I had accidentally--perhaps even miraculously!--captured this Purple Martin in flight. These birds dart around like crazy snatching mosquitoes from the sky, so we all have Martin Houses in our yards to coax them to stay close. They're very helpful in controlling the mosquito population but very hard to photograph. Sometimes we just get really lucky!!

Camera Critters Sunday

I forgot it was Camera Critters Day when I posted my two City Daily Photo blogs today! Checking my "favorites" reminded me when I saw some of the astounding photos there.

This is one from my files, taken before we built our house. This lot has always been
"for the birds" and our house was planned specifically to not interfere with this tree!
